Oh. My. God.
My dance teacher and my dance partner (that didn’t know about how the Beckets, Raleigh especially, tend to be referred to in the Pacific Rim fandom) both apparently agreed that I’m the closest thing to what they could ever imagine a human version of a GOLDEN RETRIEVER to be...
And I just...
Apparently, it’s a mix of the short attention span, the way my face just lights up and I get all excited when I see someone I like, am super protective, proud and supportive towards my dance partner (I straight out decided I wanted to adopt her the first time we met, I kid you not! And, now that you mention it, I’m sort of the “veteran” that paired up with a “rookie”, despite having 7 years of belly-dancing experience over her, because I just thought there was something about her so vibrant, amazing and passionate, and she was just so thrilled about tribal fusion, and couldn’t wait to start creating projects and exploring possibilities, and she shyly approached me after her first show and was like “Hey, maybe in a few years, once I’ve gained some experience, we could do a dance number together?” and I totally just went “SCREW A FEW YEARS! WE’RE DOING THE THING NOW! YOU’RE MY DANCE PARTNER!” I mean, look at her! She’s just about the sweetest and most adorable little thing there is and OMFG! I just love her, okay?!), but also have no trouble being assertive, putting my foot down and confronting people / setting clear limits when the situation calls for it (they saw me angry once).
Also, if there are any treats around (cookies, chocolate, candies, other goodies...) you can pretty much bet I’m going to be all over them.
You don’t understand you guys!
I almost spit half my cookie out when they said that!
Because basically, that’s as if they’d just called me a Becket!
I’m a FRAKKING CERTIFIED BECKET Y’ALL!
I made it in life! I did the thing! So frakking proud!
Now, if they could just stop putting cookies on the table when I’m wearing the mask during practice... Or make cookies that fit in the mouth opening...
Because that’s just cruel!
Whyyyyyy?!
