Why didn't anybody tell me about his sooner? T0night a couple girlfriends and I went to the free dancing lessons/practice party at the Majestic. (Every Thursday night--come join us!) It was so much fun! I learned some basics for west coast swing, salsa, and rumba. I plan to go back again soon, and hopefully bring some friends. (All of whom will probably be girls, since it takes guts, and most of my guyfriends are in the midst of their teenage identity crisis. I'm over mine. I've realized that the key not to take things too seriously. Heck, I don't even take myself seriously enough most of the time.)

Next Friday's my masquerade! Everyone is coming in a costume and mask, which will be fun, though I'm not sure about games yet. Something to Google. And yes, I'll have a dance instructor there. (Chill, it's a girls only party--that way I didn't have to invite a bunch of bums just to make sure the few gentlemen I know are comfortable--see previous unrelated rant in parenthesis.) We're actually doing Jane Austen-era dancing, which will be a little easier--we hope--and more suited to the theme.
