Yesterday Laura praised me and praised me and praised me for the new routine I'm doing till I didn't know which way to look. I wonder if there was any ulterior motive or if I'm being cynical. But if I'm good, it's all Steve's work really. He's uber-patient, kind and so flamboyantly gay. I had to throw that in there. I adore him and his exuberant gay-titude. It's good to have such a great teacher.
