Urban Poly Princess

Lame heading-I know-It's a great new day-I love beginning the day with Zumba. I'm going to add my weight-training this week. I just need to be consistent before I fly off to get my initial Zumba certification. George said Alisa makes about $400 extra each month. This is really my only solution for a part time job that'll work. I want a part time job but I refuse to do anything that pays crappy or requires me to do anything I don't love. This will work nicely. I want to pay myself to be in shape AND I will get clients when my body is how it should be. I also love dancing and will love getting back to some sort of dancing-even if it is Latin dancing. I can incorporate Tahitian stuff later. They have a lot of booty shaking anyway. I'll just put my own Poly spin on it later AND add contemporary music.

I haven't heard from David yet. I hope I do-I've been thinking. I've been trying to figure out why he wasn't partying when he was inactive but I think I finally have some idea. He said he wasn't a party person. I suppose engineers tend to be introverted. My old fhe partner is an engineer. He just got married. He was not introverted at all and neither were his friends who are also engineers. Perhaps they are the exceptions. David is supposed to be an exception too because he is social. He is a  chatterbox. For the most part he is fine, BUT occassionally he will do something OFF-like how he ignored me at the end at Pizza Pie Cafe AND be oblivious to how rude that is!

Actually David is lucky he wasn't a party person when he was inactive. I'm sure he made bad decisions but his lifestyle was such that he was spared certain temptations. If I was less active when I started college, I have no doubt I would've made some very bad choices with eternal consequences. I still made bad choices but my faith kept me grounded. My testimony was not as developed as it is now but I am thankful it was enough for me to want to do right. I liked short skirts and I looked good in them. I liked music too-some of which had questionable lyrics. I loooved ward hoping as well. My friends and I would play games with people when we would hit up clubs in Utah. Clubs in Hawaii made the clubs in Utah look like stake dances. We used to enjoy seeing how much money some guy would spend on us. We had a game with the winner determined by the kind of car the guy they got to buy them something at Dennys or Village Inn after the club drove. It was all very temporary however and I was definitely NOT looking for my eternal companion. I wasn't even looking for a date. I just wanted to have fun. Most of the clubs I went to in Utah didn't serve alcohol.

When I look back at my life I am very grateful I was protected from so many things I could've done wrong. I had a lot of friends who made bad choices. I didn't make the same bad choices.

My blessings are so amazing and incredible. My father in heaven is so patient with me in my weaknesses. I know that should make me more patient with others. It hasn't happened yet. I know it can.

My friends were from Honolulu or Waikiki at BYU. When we were in Hawaii for breaks I went clubbing with them once but I didn't like it and I remember some guy asking me if I could tie a cherry stem into a knot with my tongue because he could do that. I didn't catch on what that meant until much later. I just thought that was really strange. BYU-Hawaii dances were much more fun even if that's what I did in high school. I didn't realize how sheltered I was until I went to the Y and interacted with my friends there.
