ballerina
n : a female ballet dancer [syn: danseuse]

From what I understand, a ballerina moves with grace and light steps as a result of having studied ballet for most part of her life. I don't understand why my beloved roommate shakes the whole house whenever she climbs the stairs with her heavy footsteps. Her habit of heavy footsteps has earned her another title-Princess Godzi. My gosh! for a ballerina, she sure does have heavy feet. You would know that she's done with her morning ritual if you start to hear the heavy footsteps made by the 2 and a half inch heeled shoes that she wears while walking in the room. and then, the moment she goes down the stairs, my gosh! u can feel the whole house shaking and you cant help but cover your ears with the loudness of her steps! It's so loud, it can be used as an alarm clock.

those heavy footsteps has annoyed me for a long time. all i'm asking for is for her to be considerate of the other people still in their beds and trying to get some sleep. consideration is the key here. and if she does not practice this soon, god knows how i'm going to react to her.
