Remember when I first started writing? I'd make words bigger, moved them around a bit to provide a bit of flair to the page...
Now?
Nothing like that. Except now I want to start doing that again..like what I'm doing now.
I went to a stake dance last night with a ton of people from my ward and 2 things: 1) It was 40s/50s theme (i like that) and 2) there was a band. A live band. A live big band. I'm talking swing music. Which is one of my favorite types of music despite the fact that I can't swing dance. I'll learn though. It'll be great.
I love to dance. Dancing and singing but we can save that for another time. The feeling of moving across the floor, moving my body, moving to the music, just movement in general makes me feel amazing. If I'm totally comfortable with myself then I just let myself go and I feel like I can fly. If I don't, well that kind of explains itself. That's why I'm taking ballroom classes at school, why I took clogging and ballet my freshman year of college and why I continue to dance. I want to keep that feeling of flying around.
It may or may not be the reason I want to marry a guy who knows how to dance. Oh yeah, I went there. Not even dating anyone and I'm already talking about marriage. Would I be willing to compromise the dancing? umm...maybe, but I think I'm getting carried away.
So back to last night's dance. (Side note: I did all my roommates' hair. I was kind of proud of myself.)
It's me...the back of my head at least. Did it myself. Go me.
This hairstyle (above) was fun because it fits her personality and it went well with her dress.
This one (above) was my favorite. She has such gorgeous hair, it was fun to work with her.
She was wearing a poodle skirt so this style worked well with the overall outfit.
Did you enjoy that brief break from the program? Yes? No? Ah well, now we return to our regularly scheduled program.
So the dance. Let me just say that when one of my "jam songs" comes on, I really get into it. Such was the case with Cupid Shuffle, Cotton Eyed Joe and Footloose. I do dance to other songs. But those songs...mmm I got this, girls, I got the moves for them. But there's a reason I stopped going to stake dances when I was 16. Partly because they cancelled all the summer dances and mainly because of slow dances.
I LOVE SLOW DANCES. Especially if the guy knows how to really dance (thank you ballroom). But guys don't really ask me to dance and I got tired of asking every single time. Which has actually started affecting how I act in my dance classes. I just don't really ask guys anymore. I like to dance with certain guys in my classes, not because I'm attracted to them, but because I know they know the routine. If the guy doesn't know the routine...I'm just really getting carried away tonight...
So last night I didn't dance a single slow dance. Which was sad. Because they were big band slow numbers. Which I love. More than most people know. But...but I just couldn't get myself to ask guys to dance, so I would leave.
Awkward, right? yes.
It was still fun (the fast numbers at least) and the band was phenomenal!! But I need to work on whatever that thing is that's keeping me from asking guys to dance (especially in class). Also it's not just me, it's the boys. They're dumb for not asking more girls to dance (aka myself).
G'night girls.
