Thanks for all the birthday wishes.

I suddenly thought of something that my dad could have gotten me -- some dance lessons where I was taking them before. I realized after watching bits of Dancing with the Stars, how much I really miss it. I stopped because, well, like a baby who's learning new skills and regress is someways as she learns new skills I kind of gave it up to concentrate on other things.

I miss it and there's no way to afford lessons and I stopped going to the ball dance/latin dance nights because Dad goes too. So I was always around him (well not always, but a lot) and it was awkward.

Now, though, not so awkward for a lot of reasons. So I just checked online and there are a couple more places that have dance nights/free lessons. Most of them if you get there early there's no cover, but others it's just $5. I can afford that. And these are places I can wear my dance shoes and not worry about the soles.

So. That's what I'm going to do. Plus it forces me to be social.

Vw -- your poor feet!

Nora it sounds like a blast, except for thefalling down part.

it was pretty awesome.

And Happy Birthday!!!!

OK, I have to lie down. I hurt and am sleepy.

Oh, good plan, askye. I am always in favor of plans with more ballroom dancing.

So jealous, Nora. I didn't dance when I saw the Pixies, but that was because it was outside and hot and I just couldn't really move. And good luck with the job getting!

In other news, I hate the people we are buying our house from. I am dreading the closing because I will have to sit there with these jerk-offs and not slap them silly.

Maybe after all the i's are dotted and the t's crossed you could "accidentally" kick 'em under the table? Or is this not an impulse that you need encouraged?

Best of luck with job and house.

askye, sounds like an excellent plan. I just went back to swing dancing last weekend after several months off (various and sundry reasons) and it was SO GREAT. So I definitely vote for get back out there and boogie, or foxtrot, whatev.

So, anyway, people at Pixies concerts, apparantly, don't dance. Just us dorks (me and my friend M). I danced my wise ass off.

Peeps danced at the LA shows! I mostly just swished my head/hair around and sang along.

askye, I'm drawing a blank about where you are located, but if you're near a college/university there might be a club that hosts dance nights. we have all sorts of flyers up here for $1 or $5 nights, depending on the venue.

Remember that the closing is the last place you'll have to see the jerky sellers, Nora, so, while you probably can't slap them, after the papers are signed you could tell them off.

Hustle. I love to hustle. But I also want to rumba. And cha cha. And I want to learn zyedco (some place does that), and there's a place that has lessons for salsa, merenege (which is dead easy and you don't have to have rhythm at all to do it) and bachata -- which I've seen a few people do and want to learn.

I'd love to tango, but it's not something that's played often -- you need room for it. Also, you need to find someone as good or better, especially if you are following.

I know there's somedthing going on Saturday and I'll be there.

dusts off her dancing shoes

Sparky -- my dad is actually the faculity advisor for the ballroom dance club at the university. (I get my dancing bug from him).

But I dont' think they have anything going on during the summer sessions.

Some where there's a vdieo tape of my dance recital (and if there isn't I need to get a copy).

I never did send it to any one to get transfered to digital format. I need to add that to my list.

Okay, I'm going to stop spamming Bitches now. I promise.
