Last week was potentially one of the best weeks ever.

Here's a list of all that went right:

1. Vagina Monologues was pretty damn successful. We kicked it off on Wednesday, and I didn't have to do too much except for the Hamline performance. The last performance was today, so the campaign is officially over.

2. The Hamline performance was well attended, and we made over $1,000 at the door. Yeah. We're awesome like that.

3. Nancy Pelosi was confirmed as a speaker at Power Shift (which is in 11 days, so stoked!).

4. Got to spend the afternoon kicking around Uptown with mom. I bought a dress, a sweater, and sexy-as-hell boots. All practically brand new, and under $50. Yessss.

5. We applied for and got all the money for our conference funding for Power Shift.

6. At Lindy lessons at Tapestry on Thursday, I was singled out as a good dancer and given a coupon for a discounted hour-long private lesson. Hell to the fuck yes.

7. Ike finally came to swing dancing tonight. This has been a year and a half in the making.

8. I am finally getting a chance to relax.

9. I spent Saturday night with Hannah G. nerding out and talking. We haven't hung out outside of work for far too long. We also did a massive music swap.

And so my life is looking pretty damn awesome right now. I'm incredibly happy, and things are looking up. And after Power Shift, I don't have anything too major planned. February was/is my month of crazy.

Today has been really chill. I had massive amounts of laundry to do, and I did it. I basically just camped out in the lounge on first floor all afternoon, did homework, and kept an eye on my laundry. I probably did about 6 loads.

I think I'm steadily becoming more of a night person. Last night, I stayed up until about midnight, and tonight I think is going to be another long night. I have 60 more pages of reading to do for my history class and a poem to write. I write all my best poetry late at night, so here's hoping that lack of sleep will propel me to write something awesome.

Mmmmmm. Garbage makes really great, grungy pop. I've been listening to Incubus for most of the night, and Shirley Manson's voice is a nice break, along with the super industrial music itself.

I should stop procrastinating and get on that homework. Yes. Ready .... go.
