Homecoming + Dance Guide for the n3rds, g33ks, and other leet hax hedonists in training
Well Homecoming was Saturday...WOOT! I haven't been flying this high since Oakenfold. Getting in was a pain in the ass(only took me till 8:50), and the DJ should have done a better job of mixing songs-too many slow ones-(though Mr. Flurry said he did this to break up the grinding...RAWR BASTARD WHO THE FUCK WOULD WANT TO STOP THAT ITS SO MUCH FUN)
I started off the night by meeting up with a bunch of people at Joey’s (Matt, Ross, Arm, Ashly, Brandon Robb, Casey), then we watched stuff off ebaumsworld for a few hours. Was fun, then we went to the dance-came 10 minuets late hoping that more people would be processed and we wouldn't have to wait in as big of a line...if only. After freezing for a while we all get in, I meet up with Cody, Jamie, John, and Amanda. So after about 20 minuets of blah they start the first slow song. I start moving to stand away as is my normal mode of existence and Cody says something to the effect of "Jim find some girl and dance with her." I walked away.
As I am walking I see some blond girl in a red dress, I'm like why not. We dance, and then separate. Feeling down on the whole separating thing I go walk around the dance floor trying to find Joey, as I slide out of the way to let some blond girl in a black dress past she says. "Don’t you look nice all dressed up?" Arrogance rebuilt in a big way, I listen to Cody's advice with uncharacteristically hedonistic glee. Danced with a bunch of girls I knew a lot more I didn't. Was fucking awesome, there are so many cute, fun girls in our school, I guess I just never got a chance to know them- hell, technically I don't actually know them now either.
Unfortunately I seem to be one of the few, if not lone success out of team stag so:
Here are some pointers I figured out after last night (and do I ever wish I had gotten a clue sooner)
GOING STAG AND LOVING IT:
Rule #5(Don’t mind the music) Yes its rap, and rap is crap. Just find the rhythm of the song and start moving, Yes it may be the most poorly written, simple minded, meaningless song ever conceived by man, but it has a base line so focus on that and get moving.
Rule #4(You Look Good) Dress shirts and ties are designed with the sole purpose of making you look attractive, powerful, and confident. So gel your hair, put on some cologne and embrace the fact you look awesome.
Rule #3(So you look dumb) When your grinding you don't look at the other person that much. It’s a physical experience, move however feels natural, press close, back off, move you hands, it doesn’t matter what it looks like just how it feels. Close your eyes every few seconds if that help you find your rhythm.
Rule #2(Samples only) New Song, New girl. They aren't your GF, they aren't attached to you, maybe 2 songs max, but after that move on- you’re after a good dance not a relationship. Honestly unless you get hooked together by a friend don't even bother with names.
Rule #1 (Arrogance is a good thing) Be Confident Be Cocky, see a girl you want to dance with go up to her and make your move- most you should say is "Lets dance" don't ask, command. Put a hand on their hip, or around their waist and start to move, They won't turn and scream worst they'll do is brush your hand away, in that case move on, more likely they'll press in towards you and they you can grove to your hearts content-keep in mind rule 2(its should really be rule 1.25 or something).
Everyone feel free to comment in their own ideas and thank you: most of my physics class, various others who pressured me into going, and random blond girl in black dress you saved my night.
