YEAH, I'M TALKING TO YOU!

[Songstress]

*peers in the thread to watch Meesh talking to herself*

[mmeeshal]

Once upon a time there was a Little Ballerina.

[mmeeshal]

*peers in the thread to watch Meesh talking to herself*

SONGSTRESS HI

[mmeeshal]

The Little Ballerina had a suitcase that looked like a little pink drum. When the children on the bus saw that little pink case, they knew it was ballet day.

[mmeeshal]

Oh, and my name's not "Michael" and my initials are "MLM" so I'm not talking to me.

[mmeeshal]

In the case, the Little Ballerina carried:

-one pair of pale pink tights with seams

-one black leotard, just like the kind the Big Girls wore

-one pair of soft black slippers, with elastic bands that she had sewed on herself

-talcum powder--one shake for each slipper

-one fat rubber band and four bobby pins to put her hair up into an almost-bun

[mmeeshal]

[Songstress]

Oh, and my name's not "Michael" and my initials are "MLM" so I'm not talking to me.

 

But nobody was answering, so therefore...

SONGSTRESS HI

 

Hi!!!

WASSUP, DOC?

[mmeeshal]

Oh, and my name's not "Michael" and my initials are "MLM" so I'm not talking to me.

 

But nobody was answering, so therefore...

Well, I wasn't talking WITH anyone, but I was talking TO them...or AT them, at any rate. XD

[Songstress]

Hahaha!!! There ya go!

 

 

 

I..... am tired.

 

 

 

But trying to catch up on all manner of threads and such.

[mmeeshal]

fourth...

 

[mmeeshal]

Hahaha!!! There ya go!

 

 

 

I..... am tired.

 

 

 

But trying to catch up on all manner of threads and such.

I imagine that's taking a while?

[mmeeshal]

In the playground, the Little Ballerina stood by the jungle gym and practiced moving her arms and feet in the five basic ballet positions.

 

"Come play!" her friends begged, but...

[mmeeshal]

second position, third position, fourth position, fifth.

 

[mmeeshal]

The Little Ballerina wouldn't play today. She had to practice, for tomorrow was the Big Recital! She practiced until the bell rang and recess was over.

[mmeeshal]

After school, the Little Ballerina ran all the way to the big white house on Sycamore Street where Mamzelle taught ballet. Mamzelle was what the girls called their ballet teacher.

[mmeeshal]

Down in the basement the girls all changed together.

[mmeeshal]

The hooks down low were for the little girls.

The hooks up high were for the Big Girls.

[mmeeshal]

"Someday," said the Little Ballerina, looking up at the hooks, "I'll hang my clothes up there."

[mmeeshal]

She put her hair up in an almost-bun after dressing as quickly as she could.
