The Friendliest Person You Knew For Only A Day

Dude at Books a Million

I'm glad I only knew you a day.  Good luck in your lifelong dream of becoming a movie star.   I appreciate you telling me how my body language showed you it would be a bad idea to start a conversation with me.  Because you see, you are studying body language and psychology to further your acting abilities.  My open book, buzzing phone, and bouncing foot are clues for you to practice on.   You're nice.  And very enthusiastic.  I appreciate the book recommendation.  See You in another life, Brotha.

I've known about you for a while now
When he leaves me, he wears a smile now
As soon as he's away from me
In your arms is where he wants to be

But you're the one he rushes home to
You're the one he gave his name to
I never see his face in the early morning light
You have his mornings, his daytime
And sometimes, I have his nights

But does he love you
(Does he love you)
Like he loves me?
(Like he loves me?)
Does he think of you
(Does he think of you)
When he's holding me?

And does he whisper
(Does he whisper)
All of his fantasies
Does he love you
(Does he love you)
Like he's been lovin' me?

But when he's with me
He says he needs me
And that he wants me
That he believes in me

And when I'm in his arms
Oh, he swears there's no one else
Is he deceiving me
Or am I deceiving myself

But does he love you
(Does he love you)
Like he loves me?
(Like he loves me?)
Does he think of you
(Does he think of you)
When he's holding me?

And does he whisper
(Does he whisper)
Of his fantasies
Does he love you
(Does he love you)
Like he's been lovin me?

I should not lose my temper
(I should not be ashamed)
'Cause I have everything to lose
(And I, I have nothing to gain)

But does he love you
(Does he love you)
Like he loves me?
(Like he loves me?)
Does he think of you
(Does he think of you)
When he's holding me?

And does he whisper
(Does he whisper)
Of his fantasies
Does he love you
(Does he love you)
Like he's been lovin me?
Oh, does he love you?

It's been a rough morning

25 The person you know that is going through the worst of times 

Aren't we all?   "Everyone's fighting their own battle" type of thing.  Hoping for a job.  Wishing for a baby.  Running out of money.  Swimming in debt.  Working themselves to death.  Custody fights.  Cheating spouses.  Sickness.  Loss.  Worry.   Please remember it's just for a time.  Things change and they change quickly.  We will make it through.  I pinky promise! 

26 The last person you made a pinky promise to

The person who gave you your favorite memory.   

Tim Hegler

He probably has no memory of this event or even me.  I've met him periodically over the years.  He was the ballet instructor/choreographer at Summer Workshop somewhere around 2003?  I learned so much from him.  I had many epiphanies about my body and dancing during those week long dives into the ballet world.  I also remember that I learned what real pain was and that I could dance through it.  He split everyone into groups.  Most people only participated in and learned the choreography for 2 dances.  After the first couple of days I had my two dances down.  Tim decided to put another number in the program.  He chose me to be in the new number.   He told us it was going to be challenging.  If we expected to get it we would have to put in practice at home in the evenings even after we had been dancing from 8-5.  The next day when we went over the number I had it down and I was helping the other dancers with their parts.  Tim worked with me that afternoon as everyone was leaving on some things I missed while practicing for the other numbers.  He told me I surprised him on how dedicated I was to getting the dances.  He wanted to let me know that he noticed how hard I was working.  When we placed the piece the next day, Tim put me center stage and even gave me a small solo part.  There I was center stage with the spotlight on me, everyone else on stage was still as I finished the song by myself.  When the show was over, I went up to Tim to say my goodbyes and thank him for the week.  We sat on the front of the stage, and he told me I was one of the best students he had the pleasure of teaching.  He told me at first I faded into the crowd and didn't stand out with my dancing.  But every day I showed I was working as hard as I could and finally showed my ability.  He told me, he would be happy to work with me as his student at the University.  He said he knew he would never be disappointed if I came to his class and worked like that.   

He told these things to a 14 year old who had never been recognized as being a capable dancer by anyone except Miss Dixie.  I failed miserably at all auditions.  My previous dance teacher forgot who I was 3 years in a row. I was older than all the other girls in my dance class, yet they were just as advanced as me.  It was a major turning point in thinking I was a dancer.  I was able to not take it so hard when my first impressions were lacking.  I knew I could prove myself over time.  It's funny how just a few words of encouragement can change your life.  I will always love that memory.  I hope I get to continue working with Tim periodically in the future.  He will be first on my list when I have enough money to bring in a professional guest teacher.

Day 20 — The one that broke your heart the hardest – You can not break me.  I won't allow it.     

Day 21 — Someone you judged by their first impression – PG dancers.  I thought they were stuck up bitches and I was pretty correct.  

Day 22 — Someone you want to give a second chance to – I’ve already given them to every single person I could.   2nd chances, 3rd chances.  Right now I'm on a 4th chance.

Sorry, I didn't like any of these

Someone that pesters your mind 

Miss Carolyn

I only knew her for a year.  That year was a huge turning point in my life.  We went through so much together.  We were together every day.  Working together.  Talking together.   Having a good time in a bad time.  She taught me a lot.  It bothers me that we didn't continue our relationship.  I think about her, and I know she has had a rough time the past 2 years.  Her husband passed away.  They were pretty low on money.  I hope she is doing OK.
