Moderate success
Went dancing last night, at DIE. Had fun, danced for 2 hours straight, no stopping.
This might sound normal to you, but I usually tire out after about three songs, and have to take a rest for a song. So, my stamina seems to be improving, yay Aikido! Go me! I could have gone longer, but around 1am I was starting to feel it, and decided it was late enough on a school night.
I kept almost entirely to myself, just dancing, looking at no one in particular, or glancing around the room. Of course there were some beautiful people there, it is Mercury after all. But I didn't do the "watch only one person all night" thing. The only thing I said to one was "at least it's not as hot tonight as it has been lately." I didn't bother explaining that dancing when it's 70- out is MUCH nicer than martial arts when it's 80+ out.
By the way, yeah, dancing when it's cool, much more fun than martial arts when it's hot. Oh boy. Maybe it's building up my tolerance for physical activity and sweat.
I liked the appending of my physical workout today. Aikido after work, then dancing after dinner. Might do more of that, and get more practice with either talking with people not so hot, or just not talking at all.
Granted, why talk to someone if there is no reason to? Why do people choose to talk to other people? The random "hi, I'm Brian, I'm new here" came across as smarm-o-rama when I first moved to Seattle, so no, I don't feel like saying "hi" to everyone. When I see people I know I'll interact with them, but on nights like last night, there was no one I knew. There is a social urge in humans, despite the shyness some of us feel. I will keep mostly to myself, though.
Thought of Michelle and the relationship a LOT. Love, relationships, and the health of relationships seem to be common themes in music, go figure.
A drunk girl jokingly hit on me as I was walking home. I actually don't know if she was joking or not, I chose not to take her up on the offer. There's only one woman that I have a weakness for...
Oh, and by coincidence, I ran into Michelle's sister on the way to the club. Small world!
