Three Phases

[lupusnonfacit]

A Lindy Hop!

I didn't think it was so bad. There are worse things in the world to wake up to than dancing with someone. Probably not worth the black eye, though, especially since we've gone and not even won the silly thing, and here I can't even remember most of it in my mind's eye. It's like a foggy blank. Somewhat disconcertingBut still, could

This dancing curse is the best curse ever.

I hope your eye feels better soon though, ouch.

[lupusnonfacit]

I agree, although I have nothing much to compare it to.

Thank you for the well-wishes. It's not the first and last time I've had a black eye, but usually I don't get one for dancing.

There are some pretty bad ones, this month has been the coolest since I got here though.

Yeeeaaah, that's kind of a weird way to get a black eye.

[lupusnonfacit]

'Coolest'?

[onlyfive]

Oh, I forget sometimes? It's slang I wish I could stop using but I seem to just. Keep on using it.

[lupusnonfacit]

I know what the word means. I'm just amused that you would use it for such circumstances. It's a well-adjusted way to think, possibly.

OH. Sorry, I've just confused a lot of people with it and yeeeaaah. I like to think of myself as a well-adjusted optimist! I might as well make the best of being here, while I am.

Pleasure to meet you. Very charmed. Did you dance yourself?

[onlyfive]

It's nice to meet you too!

I did, but it ended up a liiittle awkward.

[lupusnonfacit]

AWKWARD, well that's no good! Any hopes in making it more toward?

[onlyfive]

Well it was a good dance! Just a liiittleee too close for my tastes.

And I think the guy I'm kind of dating...ish saw it.

But I mean, other than that? Totally fun.

[lupusnonfacit]

So it was just a little bit too intimate? And too public?

Mine was possibly both, but I wasn't in control of myself at the time, and so still-- I had fun.

Until the black eye, of course.

[onlyfive]

Just like that.

Yes, I would think a black eye would put a damper on the whole 'fun' thing.

[lupusnonfacit]

I'm sorry, then. Maybe some day you can repeat the process with less intimacy and more privacy.

Thank you. I hope the next time you get to dance, there's less punching and more dancing.
