{As instructed by her agent, Diva has started to pick up dancing to add to her resume. Well, dancing that isn't ballroom dancing, anyways. To start off, she has picked up ballet, since according to her instructors, it's the basis for many other dances. Diva doesn't really mind about that, but she has been having fun with it.

As such, she's brought a section of the barre and its mirrors with her, which she's stretching against.}

I almost feel bad that I moved on to the intermediate class so fast, but I guess it's to be expected. Ne, I mean, it would have been the same if I had done another kind of exercise. I'm just naturally better than humans at things like this.

{She's mostly thinking aloud, but as if to demonstrate, moves to hold her leg up for a near-standing split. But then she's back to stretching normally, and sighs}

I'd rather do the partnered dancing, though. The stretching and dancing alone, it's boring. I could just do all of that here.

Tell me about other things that make you happy.

[madamemoiselle.livejournal.com]

{Surprised!} Um...

Well, singing makes me happy, of course. I love singing! I always have, as long as I can remember. I like dancing too, if it weren't obvious. It's hard work, and that's not as fun, but being able to perform, that's lovely. Maybe I just like performing.

{Thoughtfully} And...Children make me happy. I'd never really gotten the chance to spend time with children before, but I know that I really like playing with them. I sang in Central Park once, with a musician there, and it was especially a lot of children that stopped with their parents to hear me sing, so I sang a special song for them. A family in Vietnam taught it to me, but I made my own version in English so that I could sing it a bit more. That was really wonderful! I was happy about that for the whole week. Oh, but I really like shopping, too! That's a lot of fun. Especially going to the smaller little shops, since it's a lot easier to talk with the people that own them. It's really fun to meet those people.

[smiling]

You were doing so well right up until 'shopping.'

[madamemoiselle.livejournal.com]

Oh, but I do like shopping! Especially buying gifts, of course. It's fun!

{...speaking of} That reminds me, though. How is your car?

[didorothy]

It remains miraculously not-keyed, which is pretty impressive after all of this time.

[madamemoiselle.livejournal.com]

Oh, that's wonderful, then! If you ever need it fixed or anything, just let me borrow it and I'll get it done. It was such a nice car that it came with a lifetime warranty. Wasn't that nice of them?

[didorothy]

Nice of your pocketbook, most likely.

[madamemoiselle.livejournal.com]

Well, either way, it's best for you!

[didorothy]

And I appreciate it. Even if it's a bit much to try to match it next Christmas.

When is Christmas?

[madamemoiselle.livejournal.com]

Um...{Sheepishly}

Two weeks.

[didorothy]

[Sam stares]

Thanks for the warning.

[madamemoiselle.livejournal.com]

But you don't need to worry about it! It's not important.

[didorothy]

One thing my mum taught me is that presents are very important. Maya only reinforced this lesson.

[madamemoiselle.livejournal.com]

{Teasing,} In that case, I expect something as wonderful and sweet as last year. That's all I could want.

[didorothy]

I'll have to think of a way to top it, then. Two weeks.

[madamemoiselle.livejournal.com]

{Shyly} I'll be waiting for it, then. Ne, but do you think I should throw another Christmas party? People seemed to like the first one, but...It's a lot more people now, isn't it?

[didorothy]

What do you want to do?

[madamemoiselle.livejournal.com]

Well, I like throwing parties! So I'd like to, if people here were interested.

[didorothy]

Then, Cinderella, you must go to the ball. You could ask around to see who's interesting. Feel out potential participants.

[madamemoiselle.livejournal.com]

{Laughs}

Well, then I should ask you first! Would you like to come to my "ball", Sam?

[didorothy]

Only if you promise me the pleasure of a dance.

[and then Sam realises that he just asked to dance, NO, NOT DANCING]

Or a drink. Probably better if it's a drink.

[madamemoiselle.livejournal.com]

I would love to dance with you, Sam.

[didorothy]

Could I talk you into it just being a drink?

[madamemoiselle.livejournal.com]

Of course not~♥ Ne, but I love dancing with you, Sam! You don't need to be shy.

[didorothy]

[okay let's make a topic change]

You'll have to ask other people. Anyone else in mind?
