phthalombrageYesterday I stayed in, cleaned up my room some, etc., until I went swing dancing at chicken swing with hayley, ian and chris.
I had fun. There was weird music about homegrown tomatoes, a swing version of "old macdonald", and a lot of very specific and bizarre death wishes, but it was by no measure bad music. People there danced with everyone else. It was fun to be whirled around by much more skilled/practised leads. The tension in their fingertips was a miraculous thing; it somehow gave me momentum to change directions and spin and do things my brain wasn't quite sure how I was doing while keeping sync with the lead. One of them (quiet, Asian, blue shirt) was surprised that it was basically my first attempt at social dancing, saying something like I "had the feeling", which reminded me of "felt like the real thing", which reminded me a little more than was comfortable of the awkward kid in high school whose christmas wishlist included an anime girl cover for his dakimakura (hugging pillow), but the overtone was not too overpowering, as I was not at all creeped out by the dancer. He was awesome to watch with more competent follows. There was also the swing dancer's version of the hokey pokey/electric slide. Very complicated. There were some good dancers there. There were also good dancers who were over the top energetic. That guy ended up smacked in the face by the sparkly hem of Hayley's skirt... weird. There was also Chris and Ian. :P I'm still not sure if Chris actually enjoys himself. I think he may be better at finding the beat in/counting music? But he totally ran away from one of the girls and I felt a little bad. Ian was pretty chill about it all, though. Also, at one point this enthusiastic but not so gifted older lady asked to lead both Hayley and me; super awkward! We did the lesbian threesome dance, kinda fun, mostly weird.
Then did half price at Fuddle. Hayley is a sweet potato fry thief :O. It was funny to watch her first sneakily snatch fries like a seagull, then just blatantly eat off of other people's plates.
Today work (not so exciting), convinced mal to make an lj, kgb without rigel, vegetable fritters in spicy cream sauce (probably super unhealthy, but very delicious and not something I could fathom cooking myself), naan, and all the basmati rice, om nom nom, home.
