seshat's blog post - Unfulfilled dreams

Yesterday I watched Footloose on TV, for the third time. I actually love dance movies, they make me want to dance myself. People who know me would be surprised, as I never dance at parties. I don't feel I have "good moves", I only feel comfortable doing dances where there are certain rules and steps, not the improvised dancing that's usually done at parties. I guess I'm too uptight and unable to "let go", but in the privacy of my own home I do sometimes dance across the room. Somewhere in the future, I'd love to do dance classes, such as ballroom dancing (Strictly Come Dancing is absolutely fabulous). Not with boyfriend though, he has two left feet AND no sense of rhythm

And today I watched several episodes of Master Chef. I absolutely love cooking, and I love eating. But I feel lacking in skill, as I really don't know any basic cooking skills, I just love putting ingredients together (sometimes odd combinations) and trying new things. I love buying vegetables in the supermarket just to experiment, without even knowing what they are or what they taste like. Cooking classes would be cool, somewhere in the future when I have some more time and money...

And my last dream... singing lessons... Having lived in an apartment the past four years, with terrible acoustics (I could hear the neighbor's cell phone rattling on his night stand when it was on vibrate) I've gone without singing for way too long. I used to crank up the music and sing along for dear life. Only after not being able to do that did I realise what a great way it is to relieve tension and frustration. I'd love to live up to my full (singing) potential and learn singing and breathing techniques to better use my voice.
