Afterwards – Part I
(I practiced singing and dancing as I untangled my hair. This is me in 1993.)
How Do you feel?
I’m not good at finishing things. I still haven’t watched the last episode of HBO’s True Blood, which ended last year. I was waiting for “the right moment” to watch the finale, but it never came. I just never wanted the show to end.
Now it’s time for me to close out my birthday performance (which was 2 weeks ago). Right after my performance, my friend Hilary asked me,“How do you feel?”
I answered automatically, “I’m glad it’s over.”
I thought about what I just said and I took it back immediately, “Wait… actually I’m not glad that it’s over.’
“I like that.” Read the rest of this entry »

I do not have a good memory.
I have two examples that play a huge role in my upcoming piece. 1. I remembered the 1993 dance recital as a ballet dance, it is tap. 2. This next example is more of a fault in my logic, rather than my memory. I did not graduate elementary school in 2003. That would make me… 23/4? There is my other deficit, math. This is the year my brother graduated. I made this realization after savagely dismantling a VHS camera. The tape became stuck after the camera had died forever so the cassette door needed to be forcibly ripped off. I had to call a childhood friend to confirm that we actually had sung “The Greatest Love of All” at our graduation in 1999/2000? I wanted to make sure that I didn’t create a false memory.

The Greatest Love of All – 1985
My dance / song recital is creeping up on me. I am finalizing all of the music and memorizing lyrics and dance moves. My leotard arrives tomorrow and I am praying that it will fit. The most challenging measurement to obtain is the “girth”.
When thinking of a song for my big recital, for some reason Whitney Houston kept coming to mind. Of course there is the 1992 mega hit, “I Will Always Love You” – 1992 but there is also, “The Greatest Love of All”. I remember singing (well, shyly mouthing the words) this song in elementary school for one of those ridiculous student recitals. It was for my 6th grade graduation. It was the kind of performance where you stand on risers under extremely hot lights. Every year someone was guaranteed to faint causing a hilarious domino effect of small children. I recently learned that this often happens because people lock their knees for an extended period of time. Read the rest of this entry »
