I've just had the strangest thing happen to me. I fell in love with dancing. o_o Anyone who knows me will probably safely say that I hate dancing - in fact, prom was the first time I seriously did it in front of people, and I was on low-grade speed then.
I don't know why. I was listening to Portishead on the bus on Monday and it occurred to me that it was the most perfect music to dance to. I put it on in my room and just got up and danced. I probably looked like a total idiot, being fat and ungraceful of build and all, but it was just such a release. It was like combining meditation, bass playing and tae bo into one. It was great exercise, it got out emotion, and I became a part of the music.
I feel like such a dork, dancing up in my room, badly, alone, but I can't help it. I've never had music grip me in this way before. Usually I feel inclined to join in by singing or playing my bass; heck even an occasional cello, violin, piano or viola urge... but never have I felt the need to dance.
Wow. That was great. I feel like the hugest idiot in the world, but expression through dance feels so amazing.
