AND WE WON THE CHOREOGRAPHY COMPETITION!! WE WON!
I'm so proud of us, we worked so hard. And we were up against people with twice the experience we have. We won...and it still hasn't sunk in.
We all went out to dinner with Troupe Soluna and Habbibi Bizarre and I ordered pasta with Camille (who was originally going to order a salad with me) but then we convinced each other to both get pasta and it was really cool.

The workshop was great, but I was in extreme pain for most of it because I was dehydrated, on my period, and hadn't gotten any sleep. But I survived and WE WON. Go Jungle Gumbo, we rocked it out and I can't believe we won.
I swear the whole room exploded and we got a standing ovation.

And Shamsi said that our energy was amazing and that she wants to come visit and teach a workshop closer to here in Opelousas because she really enjoys working with us. That's HUGE, she was second runner up for bellydance superstars. And my mom wants to go out to and get our belly buttons pierced to celebrate...although she was already planning on it anyway, she's just using this as an excuse.

No Ben this weekend. No Kait. So I don't know, it's a good thing.
And of course I don't have to worry about the other guy contacting me anymore, so that's good.
I should be really happy right about now. I should be really happy.
