Dat Hipity Hop

So there's a STOMP team at OCU...TOTALLY WANT TO BE ON IT! I talked to a girl who tried out for it, well, she halfway tried out, she quit in the middle because she said she knew she just didn't have enough rhythm. Her name is Ronisha, she works with me. Moenike Sims started the STOMP team just last year. She was Miss Black Oklahoma in 2002 or 2003. Anyway, Ronisha told me that they really want to see the way you can freestyle during auditions, so they can see your rhythm. They don't want us to look like dancing robots, but to have spirit enough to move to the beat. I suppose that's so they know we can make our own. I pulled out the hippity hoppiest cd I have, and I hope that Jake doesn't get sick of it by the time Fall rolls around because that's when auditions are. I don't usually tell people I'm auditioning for things, just incase I don't get them, but I steer away from auditions anyway, because I always fear the outcome too much to ever allow one to happen. My new theme is bravery. It's silly to miss out on the things I want to do in life because I'm afraid of a little rejection. Maybe getting ready for auditions will be the way I shed the "just married weight." WOOO-HOOO!!! to that one!
