A Semiotic Domain

I couldn't put my finger on a certain semiotic domain that I truly felt apart of or dedicated to. Of course there are plenty I'm apart of, some I'm sure I don't even realize. There is the obvious of being a student, loving music, enjoying chick-flicks, etc. However, as I began racking my brain I realized that as I've grown up I have been apart of a variety of different semiotic domains. One semoitic domain that I was consumed in for almost 14 years would be dance, primarily ballet. Although it has been over four years since I have been an avid member of this domain and I'm sure this domain has changed and developed, I still find myself somewhat connected. For example, although I am no longer as skinny as a stick, my hair is not found in a bun on a daily basis, and my posture is no where near what it used to be, I still unconsciously find myself standing in fifth position from time to time. I own enough bobbie pins and hairnets to supply an army of ballerinas, I still don't know what to do with myself on Monday through Saturday without rehearsals, and it is evident from the looks of my feet that I have survived many bloody and broken toes. I will always enjoy classical music, and I've put up more cash on pointe shoes, ballet shoes, and leotards than I even realize. So, it is very apparent that this domain played a major role in my life, however it is amazing how much it still does after not being apart of it for some time now.
