(I can) now, but only when I feel I can teach someone else to do (the same thing). from The Shape of Love by Gelsey Kirkland

2: Stretch your left arm out as far as you can. What do you touch first?
My grade 12 year book. I'm a bit short of the wall.

3: What is the last thing you watched on TV?
Um, probably the first bit of two and a half men, last night

4: WITHOUT LOOKING, guess what time it is:
I suck at this. 3.05pm

5: Now look at the clock, what is the actual time?
3.00pm (not too shabby!)

I'm sure I did. I don't remember

Earlier today. I got a phone call.

12: What is on the walls of the room you are in?
Not much. A poster of Snape protecting the kiddies, my early 1900's Good Manners in School chart. Some post cards, pictures of my dancing kids.

Ooh, which ones?

And, because I've finally got the name of the author, my favourite Ballet story ever is Ballerina, by Nada Curcija-Prodanovic. Do you know that one?

No. Time to search for it!

I got Drina Dances in Italy (Jean Estoril) West End Shuffle and it's sequel by Natalie Jane Prior (Young adult books, set in Brisbane, she's researched, but I can pick almost all the places she's done her research - not really true to life and pretty melodramatic), A Proper Little Nooryeff (Jean Ure) and the sequal to Gelsey Kirkland's autobiography, which I hope will have more dancing and less sleeping with famous dancers *g*
