(no subject)

skud's latest entry reminded me that I haven't been updating about life stuff because my life hasn't seemed exciting or interesting, but I do like rambling on about stuff I'm doing here. It's a comfort :)

So:

• I'm trying to learn python, just because. I itch for more... people? activity? interaction? maybe all of the above

• went to pycon ph. The python community is even friendlier than I'd expected :3 I kinda want to leap in and contribute somehow... somehow

• still doing makeup

• stripped off my makeup and put on jeans for the conference because ehhhhhhh I wish both modes of myself were compatible, but even if they might be ehhhhhhhhhhh wasn't doing that this weekend (i have a mental image of myself as bruce banner and hulk. Except that instead of green skin I get sparkly pink stuff all over me)

• I was chatting about pycon with a friend and he remarked that the tech scene in the PH seems young and vibrant. Thoughts about that bouncing through my mind, not sure I'll ever gather them enough to be useful but... yeah thoughts

• back to hooping again :) I'm trying to do it at least once a week -- hopefully more, but realistically I can't do it much more often than that especially since uhhh

• I signed up for capoeira classes. umm. stuff. grace. balance. stuff

• I have recently realized that my mental image of myself as being physically awkward, unable to move my body properly, not very put together/groomed might be a bit out of date. I'll never be naturally graceful, and I'll always be clumsier than most people, but... it has slowly dawned on me that when I dance people don't see me as "the awkward person dancing", I'm just a person who dances who may have awkward moments but not extraordinarily different in degree from anyone else

  (note: the above was not me going from low self-esteem to high self-esteem or whatever. I really was super awkward; it's just that years of dancing even while awkward has actually changed the way I moved, without my realizing it)

• "X got cancer even though he's vegetarian; probably he wasn't eating organic" -- I'm tired of food issues :( I refuse to engage anymore

• Still not cooking

• OH OH I danced with a fire hoop two weeks ago :) I still haven't watched that video though; afraid of what I'll see

  (I managed to snort fire up my nose oh god I hope nobody noticed)

• I also need to watch the video of the talk I gave at LCA... but still afraid of what I'll see. haha. ha.

• completely exhausted from pycon, even though I didn't really do anything. but still exhausted so off I go

• ETA: tomorrow is definitely a day to put on neon lipstick, cheery nails, and just stay at home and code

  (I thought I could resist until tomorrow but have slathered on purple balm before bed :-))
