Success, projections, and the like.

well i think tonight was a general success for the most part. i have to admit, i detest dances, but i can't stop going to them. the DJ always does this routine for songs: fast fast fast slow... line dance line dance line dance waltz... no one really knows how to "fast dance" anyways. and the line dances a) are retarded for the most part, and b) wear you out for the whole night if you do more that 2 or 3. so really, the more fast dances you have, the suckier the dance is. but then again, i'm sure if the man did tons of slow dances, i would not get asked, then i would complain that you dont need a partner for line-dancing, so fast songs would be good. i guess i can never be happy with organized dances because a) i don't really get asked a lot. b) i've never had a date to a dance, so i dont know what its like to have someone to dance with the whole time, and c) i still detest dances.

i need to stop making lists.

anyway, tonight was good because i actually got up the courage to ask someone to dance that i might like a little. it was ladies choice, which is good and bad because a) it is totally up to you if you dance or not to that song, and b) the good ones tend to get taken really really fast. (shoot! i did another one!) once, i asked my best friend's boyfriend to dance because we couldn't find my friend, and i said "man these things suck, because i never know who to ask." and he started pointing at himself. what a player. haha just kidding... i think it was the 3rd ladies choice dance when i asked a special boy to dance. and it wasnt even awkward. well, it kind of was at first because i went up to him while he was with his group of friends and i was like "heyy! will you dance with me?" and he said, very distracted by the snowflake projections on the ceiling and wall, "...yeah... man look at the snowflakes! once they go from the ceiling to the wall, they like go in a completely different direction!" i busted up laughing and he just said "sorry, i'm easily entertained." and we talked through the whole entire song. sometimes if you dance with someone really random, this is how the conversation goes: "hi! what's your name? i'm ________. where are you from? oh yeah i've been there. oh i'm from here. do you play sports? i play softball... yeah..." and it is awkwardly silent for the next 2 minutes. but this time, we talked about Christmas, driving, where i live (which is actually a pretty big topic of interest around here, apparently. i got asked about it probably 3 times tonight.), the snowflakes, and school... pretty standard stuff, now that i think about it. but still, i'm glad it wasnt just the general info exchange. we were making jokes the whole time and it was all over too fast. the best kind of dances are when you're not crazy, out-of-control head-over-heels over anyone. then you dont sit there wishing he would ask you to dance, or swearing death on any girl he does choose over you. this way, it's more chill, and you can have a LOT more fun. unless your broja hangs out with creepy grubby girls... ugh. gross. speaking of which, i found out tonight that he sends out an anti-boy signal. i sat with him during most of the slow songs, waiting to be asked. but at one point, i said "dude, go over there. don't stand by me. guys are intimidated by my hulking 21 year old brother guarding me all the time." so he left, and i was actually asked to dance by a friend of mine. go figure.

wow. i literally just got bored with my own story. i am so, so sorry if you actually just put your own self through that. =]
