Quotes… and news…
“It’s illegal? Are you serious?! …Is it good with honey?” -girl in my class on a person (whom I will not name) drinking Coca tea smuggled from South America- which, by the way, is not psychoactive and is not cocaine but yes, it is still illegal thanks to people using it to MAKE cocaine).
Drunk guy at the bar trying to hit on me: “You’ve got hair like Crystal Gayle! Why, I’ve always liked Crystal Gayle!”
His friend: “I thought you liked crystal Meth.”
(Scary thing is, he didn’t deny it.)
“Whoa- this is SO much better than whatever the hell Raphael had on Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles!” -Melissa, upon examining my six- edged knife- and yes, I know how to use it, though I’d prefer not to have to.
(annoyed groan) “You need to know your Alice before you see whatever weird crap Tim Burton has done with it!” -Dr. M. Jefferys, trying to get the class to think critically about literature
“That’s what everyone says- after they laugh.” Jeff, responding to M. Minch’s comment that he looked “handsome all the same” after his haircut
“If you want to turn this into a drinking game: every time we change meter, drink.” -Sax player for First Press, a great instrumental band out of Salt Lake. And if I’d been able to play their drinking game that night, I would have been wasted.
The news: I will be performing at the Covey Center for the Arts in Provo on March 24th with dozens of other belly dancers. My class of 6 girls will be on stage for 3.5 minutes, and I’ll be in the front facing the audience for at least half of it. Am I scared? YES!!!

Ever since I saw what Tim Burton did to Planet of the Apes, I have been leary of his work. I have this feeling that Alice In Wonderland will be more akin to Nightmare in Wonderland.
(the crystal gail / meth comment was priceless)
