Secrets

I have had a very interesting week....been on the computer way to much. But I am having a good time. :) That has been why I have not posted much. Sorry to my small group of readers.


I have a secret to share....I have a passion for Dancing!!! I loved going to dances when I was in High School. The music and the people and it all. But I was usually the girl sitting in the corner who no one would talk too. In fact I do recall, at one dance a guy came up to me and took the string to the blinds that hung on the windows in the Cafeteria windows and put it around my neck. I asked him what he was doing...and his reply was "You look like you need something around your neck because you are being a 'WallFlower'. I left the dance at that point. This was my first HS dance. Little did I know that you had to have a date for HS dances unlike Junior High where everyone just went and danced with everyone. I didn't have the out going personality that you need to have to get out there on the dance floor and let go and be free. Plus, I was pretty homely looking...with glasses, and braces!!! oh my goodness, I remember hating wearing those GLASSES! I would only wear them when I had to look at the chalk board in class, and then would quickly take them off when the bell rang. I am very surprised that I didn't run into more walls when I didn't were them....because I am baslicly BLIND as a BAT!!! I am very near-sided...and can't see more than a few feet in front of me with out having to squint...to see things. Come to think of it I probably looked like I was squinting all the time...and that can't be a pretty thing to look at hu? Maybe that is why I didn't have any boyfriends in HS....(oh I did have a couple short spurts with a couple guys towards the end of my Senior Year- I can write more about them later)

So I have this passion for dancing....but when HS ended it pretty much came to an end. I was not the kind of person who went to dance clubs and stuff. So I stayed pretty much at home most nights and weekends. My sister and I were roommates at the time...and she would be gone with her friends all the time...and she was the more social butterfly than me. :)
Then things changed for me....about a month before I met Bryan, I had gotten this great new job working for an Eye Glasses Store. People would come in with their eye prescriptions and I would help them pick out frames for their new glasses. I think I met Bryan on my 3rd day working at this new job. I helped him find frames for his glasses, tried really hard to act like I new what I was doing and talking about when he asked me questions. I didn't want him to realize that I was new and only 3 days. The next week I and another new employee went to a trainning for new employees in Southern California. After the first week we took our tests and aced them!!! We both were so excited! She talked me into going out to the bar / dance club across from the hotel that we were staying at. I wasn't sure but she seemed like she and I would have a great time. I am so glad that I did. I had such a good time. I let loose and had a good time. I figured I would never see any of these guys again, and what is the harm in dancing even with a bunch of your (new) friends. It was the BEST night I had in a LONG time! Dancing!!! Go figure hu?

I am seriously thinking about taking Dancing Lessons. Bryan probably will not be able to attend because of his work...and I don't really want him to do something he doesn't really like. He can continue taking me to Live Plays and that will be fine for me. *smiles*
So I just need to get the nerve up to call someone about Dance Lessons. A new friend advised me to check into East Coast Swing!!! So wish me luck.

I think it will be good for me to get out and do something fun! I use to go Scrapbooking with my girlfriends a few years ago, but after Bug came I just didn't want to do it much anymore...and now that I could go back the thought is just not doing it for me...but thinking about taking Swing Dancing Lessons does...so we will see.
