eleven twelve thirteen

12. Okay. Let's be real. We all have lives outside of fandom. What else are you obsessed with, or particularly good at, that most LJ'ers don't know about?

Some of you actually do know this about me. I used to be a ballerina. I was being groomed to actually be a ballet dancer. I was very good at it, but I stopped dancing because I didn't love it; I just happened to be good at it. I also didn't like pouring blood out of my shoes when I went from toe shoes to pointe. I still love to watch ballet, though. I like all dancing, but ballet is my favorite. There's such a grace to it. I have even seen the story of Dracula told in ballet. And my leg muscles are still in shape. I can kick the shit out of things. I keep them worked out.

I'm not very girlie or homemakery, but I took up crochet about a year ago, and I like it. So far, I just make blankets and scarves, but I like it.

On that note, I also cook and bake a lot. I love to bake. In fact, I made hot pink cupcakes that I took on the nano retreat this past weekend. Sugar free.

I had no idea you were almost a ballerina. Gosh. But you were right to give it up since your heart wasn't in it.

I feel like I maybe knew about the ballet. But kinda rediscovered your long lost skill today. Very cool, dood.

Do you have pics of your crochet stuff?

Hot pink cupcakes. VERY NICE.

I do. I might post them here, but I'm feeling kind of lazy tonight.
