I think I'll try defying gravity, and you can't pull me down!

in case you couldn't tell i'm really hyper and happy, for a few reasons actually, the main one is i spent the ENTIRE WEEKEND doing lindy hop social dancing and it was EPIC!!!!(if you don't know what lindy is, here, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=myJj0mNNe1Y) and they guy i like was there *grins* (and if you know me, like i've been talking to you about it *cough*ellen*cough* you know who it is) it was awesome, it was SOOOOOOOOO much fun, i learned so much more in those three days than i did in like 3 weeks of lindy lessson (sorry evan, but i learn more social dancing) i do believe that lindy is my new favorite dance, yes, that's right, i'm addicted to a dance that is so fast and upbeat that it makes it hard for me to breath sometimes, and no i don't know aerials yet (like jumps and flips, evan even chastised me for not doing a silly pose at the end of our dance, but i was so tired i was afraid i would collapse) and this is how crazy evan is (he's the Monday night lindy teacher)there was a guy in class last night who got his shimmies and his triple steps mixed up (yes, it actually happened) he thought a shimmy was a triple step (and yes i was dancing with this guy at the time, to be fair, he was new) and we were doing something where the girls spin out and the guys just kinda stay there and this guy went "do the guys shimmy when the girls spin?" and evan started cracking up and his face lit up and was like "SURE" and proceeded to demonstrate and becky, the female teacher, kinda sighed and looked at my partner and said "thank you, now he's gonna do that from now on" then evan shimmied again and collapsed on the floor in a fit of laughter and my partner was like "oh, that's a shimmy?" and we all erupted in laughter (well more than we already were) and nodded and the few of us that could catch our breath said "yes, THAT is a shimmy" and he said "i thought THIS was a shimmy" and proceeded to triple step and evan said, THAT is a triple step" it was a great moment and earlier josh had to follow since we were lead heavy, but josh can follow, so there was a huge conversation about that and evan comes out with "josh swings both ways, he leads AND follows" and we all started cracking up cause it is a swing class (haha he swings? nvm) and josh looked like he was about to say something in rebuttal and finally came out with "that...that was clever" in the tone of voice that said "that was too clever to be mad at" it was a great class, i'm glad i went

hmmm, i've been ranting on for so long that i can't remember what the original intention of this post was, or even if i've deviated, oh well, i'll be done now, i'm gonna go be bored out of my mind doing something else

SPRING BREAK

i am OFFICIALLY on spring break!! well TECHNICALLY spring break started on Friday when i got out of class, but i didn't leave chico till Saturday at like 1 pm. so far it is going great! friday night i hung out with friends till like 3 or 3:30, i love those nights that you lose track of time just hanging out and having a blast. oh and we watched Phantom of the Opera, which was actually the guys' idea, yeah seriously, i love these guys, they are total geeks, and to their credit we did watch a couple of episodes of "Firefly" before Phantom. over half of the shit they were talking about went right over my head, but i still had fun hanging out with all of them. so yeah i woke up and drove Sami to her boyfriend's house and then i left to come HOME!! it is great to be home, but i didn't really get a real break till today since today is the first day i've been home that i didn't spend at my aunt's new house helping her move and get things ready to actually live there! but i've been having fun since my aunt is so incredibly awesome and insane! but i guess the insane comes with being in the family. and today i was going to spend the day hanging out at the high school but i kinda lost track of time and i don't want to bother people at Fiddler rehearsals since opening night is Friday and i know from experience that Mrs. Martin and Mrs. McElroy will be on edge and insane and ready to bite anyone's head off that inhibits productivity so yeah, i skipped out on that, i THINK band is tomorrow morning so i'll probably go to that, and even if it is choir, i'll still go, i'm trying to remember the High School's schedule, and it is BARELY working. ANYWAY, i think this week is going to be fun, especially this weekEND, since i'm going Sacramento Lindy Exchange (SLX, why "x" stands for Exchange, idk so don't ask) yeah i'm all excited for that, three days of full on lindy hopping!! lindy is a recent skill i've acquired, so i'm not very good, but i want to get better! yeah basically my spring break is full of fun (and not so much fun) things to do, and it's only half over! i'm excited now, the only thing that i wish were different was that i wish that i got to hang out with my friends more, hmmm, i might try and get a hold of some of them, but idk if it will work out that way. oh well, what happens, happens, right?
