saffiterWell, I had the Crocker Feis on Friday night. It was a good feis... a REALLY good feis *grin*. I haven't had one like that since I moved up into open a few years ago!
Anyway, we left home at about 4pm to get there on time (peakhour traffic can be a killer at times. You should've seen some of the weird looks I got from passing cars. I had my wig on, with hair net, and my crown/cloth tiara thingy- don't ask me what it's name is. I just call it the annoying thing). Got there about 5:30ish, actually it was probably later than that but I couldn't see the clock). Actually it was probably good that we got there so early 'cause I got time to do the first decent warmup at a feis I've done since the State titles last year.
Anyway, turns out we weren't starting till 6:30 (and I thought it was 6pm, hence the getting there so early).. Which was good. I got to warm up and socialize with all the other girls etc.
Okay. First up was Slip Jig. I was a little worried about this one 'cause on Tuesday night I couldn't even dance a full one 'cause my Achilles tendon was playing up something chronic. Anyway, I got through the dance quite well... surprisingly well, I was actually gliding the whole way through it. I didn't place in this dance. I wasn't expecting to though.
Next up was my Jig. I nearly had a heart attack when I saw in the program that I was dancing on stage with Dayvyyd (How DO you spell that? I haven't got a program anywhere near me). I mean, this guy's placed in the freakin' WORLD CHAMPIONSHIPS!!!!! I think, though, after actually dancing with him, that I want to get stuck onstage with him all the time. The only thing that was going through my head the whole time was "Must dance louder, must dance louder!!". I did the best jig that I've ever danced! I knew that if I didn't pull SOMETHING out of my arse I was going to be completely shown up by him and the judge wasn't going to watch me at all. I placed 2nd in the Jig.
Final dance was my set: Downfall of Paris at 113 (well, it was supposed to be 113. My teacher forgot the cd so I think I ended up doing it at about 107 or so. I actually managed to pull it off too!). Got the surprise of my life when I found out that I'd actually won the Set. I was so surprised that I forgot to go and get my trophy, I just walked over to the line where all the other place getters were standing and then realized after about a minute that I had to go and get the trophy... oops... (yes, trophy ^_^. I got a trophy *bounces happily*. I like trophy's they're cool!).
Then on Saturday mum and I went to the movies. We saw Van Helsing 'cause she hadn't seen it yet. I had, but I really didn't mind. Know what the best thing was? We had the ENTIRE cinema to ourselves! Then we went and hired out the Return of the King DVD.
Later!

I forgot about it so I wasn't there watching darn it. And I so wanted to go.
Oh, well. If you're going to go the the mid-year feis at Luid's Hill (or however the hell you spell that. I don't even know where the damn place IS!) to watch I'll be there. I'm not going to the Gold Coast feis.
You danced against Davydd huh, I've seen him during my lessons, that would have been intimidating!
Yuh-huh. VERY intimidating. But since I actually know the guy it wasn't as bad. It was probably a GOOD thing I danced against him 'cause know I know just how well I can actually dance *grins*
So what does "at 113" and "at 107" mean? Is that the speed?
Yup. Speed. I think it's the bars per minute or something. I'm not quite sure exactly. I know it's to do with the speed at least. I've actually been talking to my teacher about slowing the speed down on mine a bit.
