For the first time ever, I almost kicked someone out of one of my classes. For being stupid. I am serious. I nearly lost my cool and had to breathe like crazy to keep from going off on them. I taught an ADVANCED class yesterday and this person was nowhere NEAR being an advanced student. I mean like light years away. At lunch I complained to my guy and he said I had every right to kick her out if I wanted and we would refund her money. I came so close. I am waiting for the complaint email saying how mean I was to her. Fuck it.

After class we hung out for a little bit and waited for a couple of friends to come over. They needed a ride to the show last night. The show was a charity event. Our third time playing this event. It's an annual thing this local college does. They start at 8:30 and it's 'family friendly'. That means we are turned down to PG and have to be very careful about what we say or do. I am okay with doing shows like this when it is a show like Reno and there are 1000+ people in attendance. But when it is a show like this where we had MAYBE 50 in the audience, it's a lot of work for very little payoff. No one likes doing this show, but it is good publicity for us and it gives a chance to stretch out legs if you will by being outside our normal venues.

Things of importance that happened at the show last - B has been accepted as one of us. That's the most important thing. My directors love her. They love how much she loves doing the show, how much she supports me, and they just flat out like her as a person. YAY! I know it may sound dumb that I care what other people think about her, but let's be realistic. The show and the people associated with it are a big part of my life. I needed them to all get along. Unlike a certain other GF I had, remember?

After the show, which went well, about 20 of us headed to Sonic for late night noms. A fun time was had by all. One of our friends who is a published author, brought B an autographed copy of her book. These two have been wanting to meet since B got here and they too got along wonderfully. It's like I have a girlfriend who knows how to interact with people and be friendly and people like and is good to me and for me and is sweet and has a good heart and...

You get my point.

And yes, I am feeling better today obviously. I think I just needed to get out of the house and interact with people. Been almost two weeks since my birthday and I have been around a small group in that time. It was healthy to get out with a larger group.

Today we are cleaning the carpets. Whee!
