Tales of the Black Rose

For the record lovelies, I'm not dead.

Actually the oldest person I know on LJ is shiva_kun but that's cause we've been friends since the ninth grade. We are now both 24. The person I know LJ that I met on LJ and still talk to is fishnet_vixen. I read her journal a long time ago and chatted with her, but that was when I had a different user name. Then I changed it to something else. The I changed it again. But we have remained friends. I can't exactly pinpoint how long ago that was...but it was a couple of years. I have a couple of friends on LJ who I've been friends with longer, but they don't come around much anymore.

Part 2...not work safe

( Part II )

NOT WORK SAFE!

( What Happens At Midnight: Part I )

I...would tell. Mind you, I've had a boyfriend cheat on me ... and my bff at the time knew and didn't tell me because was also sleeping him. The cost of friendship may be at stake...but a true friend will always have your best interest at heart. So therefore, you should always have your friend's best interest in mind when you think about whether or not to spill the beans.

Depends on why they need the second chance.

Why am I looking at wedding dresses? seriously...I'm researching weddings. why?

Yeah. Eva Pigford, winner of America's Next Top Model season 3. We went to the same church for many years.

I met Tyra Banks. I got to talk to her after we taped her show when it was still in LA. She gave me hug. It was nice.

I met Bruce Willis when he got his star on the Hollywood walk of fame. Same with Destiny's Child. I guess I was just in the right place at the right time.

I know I said I was working on a story...and I am. But I have writers block! AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

I am actually kind of interested in The Black Dahlia. She was was murdered around the corner from where I currently live in Leimert Park in Los Angeles.

I had the unfortunate time of receiving an email from my former Artistic Director not two hours after she let me go from her dance company. I was quite shocked to find that some of the things we had discussed were twisted for the benefit of making her look better.

First of all apparently dancers couldn't get along with me. At least that's what they said behind my back. To my face they appeared as if nothing was wrong. When I was let go she accused several of the dancers of saying I had animosity towards them, but in the email it was quite the opposite. Suddenly I was the one with all the problems. By the way, I was CC on every email she sent because she forgot to take me off the list.

I didn't respond until I got the latest one. Which said basically that two of the newest understudies were going through the same thing. The veteran dancers sort of "ganged up" on them say things like "her personality doesn't mesh with us...she's too aggressive" or "she's such a diva" or "She's too snide". The majority of the comments I know not be true. The email went on to say that She had enough of letting dancers go, so they were either gonna get along the company would be the dissolved. Mind you, besides me, she let go of FIVE dancers because the veterans couldn't get along with them.

I had enough. I take one of her classes, so I waited till most of the dancers who had crossed me arrived. Then she and I "talked". Although I did get kinda loud (on purpose) I basically said, If all of these things are true, then why did you basically tell me I was disposable and unworthy of finding another method of dealing with the problems. Clearly, there IS and WAS another method. I dare you to tell your dancers just how much they really mean to you, which dancers you would chose over others and how much crap you would and will take from certain dancers, even going so far as to reject numerous other girls who are clearlytalented? I dare you to explain it to them.

Needless to say she was pissed off. There were whispers behind me of 'Ohmigod. How did she know? What's [insert bitch's name here] gonna do?'

Oh well.

Most recently, Heath Ledger's death affected me the most. It was so unexpected and so tragic that I could even sit through the previews of The Dark Knight. I would cry every time. That's what he is going to be remembered for, being lunatic. But I will remember him as William in A Knight's Tale. He was young, fresh and determined.

I miss Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Angel: the Series, Firefly, La Femme Nikita, Dark Angel Stargate: SG-1, Xena: Warrior Princess and Charmed.

I miss the cartoons Pirates of Dark Water, Thundercats and Johnny Quest.

I clearly don't watch tv anymore except to see Santuary, Stargate Atlantis and Top Chef

Dear Santa... Dear Santa, This year I've been busy! In July I bought porn for sir_lancelot_88 (-10 points). Last Saturday I pulled over and changed ohvey's flat tire (15 points). Last Friday I set chemical_gurly's puppy on fire (-66 points). In March I helped fishnet_vixen hide a body (-173 points). In April I signed my organ donor card (28 points). Overall, I've been naughty (-206 points). For Christmas I deserve a spanking! Sincerely, countessjade
