So, I might possibly have a dancing crush on 4.0.  Over the last couple of weeks we have had some...oh man...some amazing dances.  The first one was two weeks ago, I think, at the Malt Shoppe.  I was really tired and feeling morose and all I wanted was a strong connection with someone and a chill dance.  What I think I said was "I just want a good ( Read more... )

 So, while it is not yet quite over, I feel I should start the process of relating the birthday weekend.  I like having my birthday on a Friday because then its like the whole weekend is mine!  Have I mentioned that I love birthdays?  I really really do.  And this one was great.

So, my birthday weekend really began on Thursday.  As I mentioned, I ( Read more... )

 So, after a slow start, dancing tonight ended very well.  Many of my favorite people were there.  Like Bear.  Who has been coming to blues quite regularly for the last month.  Which, I'll admit, makes me rather happy.  Almost as happy as his hugs make me.  And almost as happy as his "dip" tonight made me.  So, we're dancing this song, and as he ( Read more... )

 So, coolest news of the week?  There shall be a Dixie Land Jazz Band playing in my complex every Friday night for the month of September.  It's like a perfectly tailored, month-long birthday present to me.  Tonight was their first appearance.  Me, Link, Hair Goddess, and Lil' Brudder all came and listened and danced (as well as Brumner and his ( Read more... )

 I suppose you could say I went on a date tonight.  A very chill, very spontaneous date.  Essentially I decided that I was starving to death and needed to make an Arby's run post haste.  I ran down to the old apartment to see if anyone was there who wanted to come.  No deal.  So then as I was walking back towards my car I ran right into Dimples.  I ( Read more... )

 Ok, so, now I have to recap another weekend.  What did I do?

Well, Thursday I went blues dancing again for the first time in quite a long while.  I had to go because Sancho called and asked me if I'd be one of their "show-down" djs.  See, I sort of loathe this new system they have.  Basically, if you want to be a fer rilz DJ you have to compete in ( Read more... )

 First, for Annie.  This is the biggest version I have of this.

 There is very little so painful as getting a sunburn over all of your upper body and then having to put a bra on the next day.  Sure, there is that perfect line where your bra strap went yesterday, but right next to those inch wide white lines is the flaming red tissue paper of death formerly known as skin.  So every time you move even a little ( Read more... )

 Wow.  I haven't had a night of dancing this good in...in a stinking long time is what.  I think that, even though I haven't thought about it a whole lot consciously, I've somehow taken to heart the advice I got from Damon Stone.  I danced with him twice and after the second song I asked him if there was anything he noticed for some quick advice.   ( Read more... )

 Do you know that feeling of contentment you get when you know you've spent your time well and all is right with the world?  I have that feeling right now.  Granted, this is a feeling that lately seems to come and go with lightening rapidity.  But whatever.  It's here for now, and I'm going to enjoy it ( Read more... )
