The beginning

Since I think that just may have worked...let’s get started!

Where do I being? 

Okay, to catch you up to speed, in our fifth season of competitive skating, Brent and I realized we had had our fill.  Fill of competitive ice dancing I should say.  I wanted to perform, he wanted to see the world, and we wanted to keep skating together.  So when  we were offered the opportunity to perform in a professional skating show that would tour throughout Europe, it seemed like a good fit.  Oh yeah, and we would get paid.  That helped.

And having “blogged” (ugh, I hate that word) before at skating competitions, I know that although typing out these experiences is a pain in the ass, it is a record of something I will surely forget.  Not because these experiences are not memorable, but because I will get old.  Therefore forgetting.

So I told myself I would “blog” (ugh) about this new adventure.  And more so I told other people I would.  And two months after arriving in Europe, guilt has gotten the best of me.

I have a friend--true story!-- who finds the word “sequin” very funny.  He thinks it sounds more like a form of measurement than something used to make a skating costume sparkle.  He has decided that a sequin is “an SI unit (system international)” and the equation is as follows:

 10^6 sequins = 1 megasequin

 10^-6 sequins  = 1 microsequin

 *a sequin is one unit of fabulousness

And thus we have MegaSequin, the blog! (ugh)
