Sensory Sensative

So I have come to realize that I am a very sensory sensative person. The biggest thing that has affected me lately is the lack of sunshine. I like the dreary weather a few times a year...it has it's time and place. I also LOVE the snow....that's special all in it's own. HOWEVER....day after day after day of dreary weather and no sign of the sun I have determined can drive me clinically INSANE!!!! I think my body just needs it...maybe my mind too. Maybe it's just because I grew up in Texas where the sun is ALWAYS visible...but I think it's more than that. I think MY being just needs it!!! Another thing I have noticed that I am super sensitive to is the attitude I am surrounded by. For example, if I hear a crabby person, I suddenly get this assertive/anxious feeling in my body that makes me want to get up and leave. If I am stuck in that situation and can't leave, I feel like I have to do whatever I can to brighten things up. I literally get this anxiety and need to change the mood. UNLESS it's getting close to that fun time of the month...then you can expect me fire back in crabbiness x10! HAHA!

I wonder if dancing has brought this out in me more...or maybe it's the other way around ... maybe my sensitivity is what enhances my dancing. Letting what I feel from the music flow through my body and then also reacting to whatever my partner gives. That is, in my opinion, one strong suit Chris and I have. We can definately read each other well and feed off of the energy we each give. That is the thing I heard the most from people who watched us dance. I think that is one of the most important things in a professional partnership. Finding that is hard. Everything else can be learned.

So I am SOO excited and very much looking forward to our (Britt and I) night of hot chocolate and christmas lights! I love love it! I really would love to go on a carraige ride...but it's so yucky outside with the rain and sleet not to mention Britt's allergy to horses or any animal for that matter haha! MMMM..hot chocolate, christmas lights and snuggling with my very own personal hottie! It can't get any better than that!! Any ideas of good places to go looking at lights etc is welcomed!!!

I love being silly

So I totally had something I wanted to blog about today and now that I'm sitting at the computer....I forgot. I am in desperate need of some sunshine. We have had WAY too much dreary and grey weather; I literally think I'm going to be sick if I don't see the sun. I need a good West Texas sunset!! Anyhow...I starting putting up my Christmas decorations and tree this weekend..I know it is before Thanksgiving but this is MY holiday afterall and I am uber excited about it. Yes I do claim Christmas as my own..haha. I love the spirit of this holiday...it is just so thrilling and not to mention a much more romantic holiday than any other which only increases my liking of it since I am a romantic. OH and of course....it is only a few days away from my birthday..making it all the more exciting and MINE..haha! I am definately looking forward to Thanksgiving too though. NOT for the food...oh geez...I'm losing weight..I dont' need great food infront of me all day!! I am anticipating a good butt kicking...me doing the butt kicking that is...in some very nerdy, strategic, intense, and HIGHLY competative board games. WE're talking risk X100 strategic...games that take a bare minimum of 4 hours to play. I am usually the only female playing...poor guys don't stand a chance. I'm sure they're all plotting about how they'll try to beat me...AAhahahaha...hehe that was my evil laugh! It's soo funny..when I first started playing with them they never suspected anything of me...and then I kept beating them at their own games...hahaha..I'm even a mystery when it comes to gaming!!

So I have been told for the third time that I'm an old spirit. When I first heard this I thought NO WAY... I'm so energetic and youthfull and vibrant, but I am beginning to realize exactly what that means. It doesn't mean I'm old and blah..haha like my wording there??... it means ..um classic, wise..maybe..haha..hmmm what am I?

I am a dance addict; I know that. Hi my name is Merrida and I'm a dancaholic. I'm always itching for my next fix...I literally go through withdrawls! My art is so much a part of who I am.
