events step in
Feb. 22nd, 2003 01:21 amI was going to go, really i was. By myself, because that is what i do. (And because i couldn't drag anyone else with me.)
But at 7:20 Lauren showed up in my room with pictures from Spain. Fate conspires. Crystal stopped by, and then Annie. Eventually Crystal had to go write a paper (she had forgotten to hand it in today, so we allowed her to do work on a Friday night) but after chilling in my room for ages (no one ever chills in my room) we headed out to Herrell's. Damn, i forgot how much real ice cream costs. I got a medium cup of peanut butter ice cream with hot fudge. Ice cream plus hot fudge equals drip, but thankfully napkins exists, so i didn't make too much of a mess. After eating we went to Pleasant Street Video and eventually back to the house. Lauren had promised Liz that she would stop by the breakdancing party at Davis, so while Annie went to bed (it was nearing 11) i went with Lauren. We ended up staying until it ended at 1, barely stopping dancing. We just danced to the hip-hop music, with each other, with people we knew. Even when the break-dancing guys showed up we couldn't see them for the crowd, so instead of watching we kept dancing ourselves. I barely ever go dancing, so i felt like i didn't know what i was doing, but of course the key is to just dance and not worry about it. You've got to let your body move to the music Lauren said i have rhythm, and she actually dances, so she knows. And i did get into the just moving to the music, not worrying about whether i was doing it "right" and i really had fun. I surprise myself sometimes.
