Sturdiness. It has it's benefits.

He said yes!
Marched up after the reverénce and asked Smirnoff if I may join the pointe class, and he said yes!
And his assistant said, “I’m sure you can do pointe as well as any other.”
Gentle Reader, I want to grab strangers off the sidewalk and shake them and yell into their ears,
“As Well as Any Other! Did you hear that?! ANY OTHER!!!!!!!!”
It’s like, what’s the opposite of damning with faint praise? Like, elating with faint praise? Head a-splode with faint praise? Saying the best thing evar with faint praise?
She also pointed out that I am sturdy.
(grabs stranger) “Did You Hear That?! (shakeshakeshake) STURDY!!! (screams in ear) What every girl LONGS TO HEAR!!!!!!”
Heh.
But any way, yeah, he said yes. He said I may not be able to get shoes in time for this week though. And I was like, ok but once I get shoes?! and he was like well yes of course.
Not sure if he realizes that I was asking permission, almost like asking for his blessing, and that it’s kind of blowing my mind that it was granted.
But, you know, I kept it together.
(be cool, Adult Beginner, be cool)
Also: ready for big excitement?: his assistant is going to come with me to help me select shoes.
Its just gonna be me and my elderly, heavily made-up, heavily perfumed, former ballerina gal pal, out for a little shoe shopping.
Aw yeah.
