ballet

So I went to the ballet yesterday...lovely. Gotta give props to Carolina Ballet, and while all the dancers are amazing, Margaret Severin-Hansen is AH-MAY-ZIN...Bravo!

Yes, I am a HUGE fan of the ballet...all dance really...something about the grace, coupled with music that is wonderful but not what I normally listen to, just makes for a fantastic experience. I went by myself, which both Mclovin and Booya thought strange (although not strange enough to volunteer to accompany me - tee hee), and I am glad I did. I don't mind going by myself, I actually PREFER to go unaccompanied than to drag along someone who really doesn't care to go. I totally get NOT being into something...I HATE opera, hate it, Mom loves it, if she drug me I would NOT appreciate it and it would be a total waste of money. If I ended up going to the ballet with someone who wasn't into it, I would sit there the whole time wondering if they were enjoying themselves, being worried they weren't, and as a result not have a good time myself.

A perfect case in point...the dude who sat behind me. He obviously got drug by his wife, had no interest in the show, and apparently was also kinda tired because he FELL ASLEEP...yeah, and how do I know that? The snoring...he started SNORING...OMG so annoying and the worse part? The wife didn't wake him up!! I mean granted she was probably thinkin' "oh good, now he won't sit here bitchin' and askin' if we can leave" but for those of us around him - HELLO? Did ya not think we might NOT want to hear a dude snoring?! And, call me cheap, but why waste the money if you don't want to go? I just don't get it.

OK, well it is late and I am fried...usually not on the computer at this hour on Sunday but didn't really get busy until after the big game was over...bet there were no dudes asleep in the stands there...GREAT game btw...Oh and if anyone ever wants to "drag" me to a SuperBowl game, I can guarantee I won't fall asleep.
