A favour to ask.

I haven’t written much lately because I’ve been tired, sick, bogged down with homework, and generally haven’t had much to say, anyway. But now I have a question ( Read more... )

When I was at elementary (primary) school we had the traditional square-dancing as a fine arts/PE component. At high school, however, we had the advantage of a competitive ballroom dancer math teacher who offered dancing lessons to the grade 11 and 12 students. As I was a bit of an outcast at that point I didn't attend (to my great regret later) but at our graduation night we had a formal dance (the school swing band played the music for it) complete with dance cards and dancing with your dad. It was the only time in my life that I have danced with my dad - he gave me the choice between grad and my wedding and I chose grad and that was that. Doug and I love to dance and make an effort to attend events where there might be a dance floor and at least a few songs to waltz to. I also love to polka - don't know where that came from.

You can polka? I'm impressed. ^^

I said I love to polka, not that I was good at it. I'm not sure why, but Canadian weddings with dances seem to always include at least one polka (and the 'chicken dance' but I am at a loss to explain that.) One learns to at least get by in polka self-defence.

"Polka self-defence" Oh I like that. :)

It's not just weddings, that chicken dance is taking over the world. That and the Hokey Pokey. They're not even particularily good songs, I think it's just that we're happy to have some songs that everyone knows the moves to. Look at the macerena, that was a horrible song, but I bet you could still remember how it goes! ^.^

Oooooh I wish you hadn't mentioned the "m" word. I hate that song/dance/thing! And now it will be swirling around in my mind all day - nasty mind cooties! I will have to find something else to displace it quickly!

XD I'm sorry! Darn those ear worms. How about replacing it with the nutbush? XP

Oh I'm all sorts of cruel and unusual this morning. ^^;;
