'What do you do on the weekends?' you might ask? Well, let me share my exciting and incredibly trendy night-life experience: Last night, I went contradancing! One of the parents at school invited an intern (also 24) and me to this random folk dancing place...and none of us had any idea what to expect. It really could have been anything from Native American ritual dance to bellydancing; I had no idea. Luckily, contradance is neither; it's based in New England and is rather like square dancing. Which makes it semi-close to ceilis in Irish dancing. Which made it easier for me to learn.
Oddly enough, it was so much fun! I think I danced every dance, except for the waltz (I don't waltz well) and was grinning like mad the whole time. The experienced people there seemed amused. I probably enjoyed myself the most out of the group I came with; they were all ready to leave by 10, and I could have stayed longer. So fun! The only downside was a few people there...some kind of creepy guys. (as in, er, you don't have to hold me that close; back off.) So I would probably be better off finding a partner to go with if I went again...but how do you find a guy who's willing to contradance?
Moral: Those phys.ed. square dance lessons in elementary school really do come in handy.

You are rather into the random dances . . . i never did manage to get you to booty-dance, but still you are quite good at everything else . . .
