I am having a dance. Come on.

[LaraMN]

I drank too much coffee. Who'll dance with me?

First song is Interpol's "Slow Hands," (because that's what my playlist spit out).

[Pale Blue Dot]

1. Next song: "Stay Tuned" by Ambulance Ltd.

Because that's what my playlist spit out.

[LaraMN]

3. Alright! I'll go spike the punch bowl!

:applause:

[Pale Blue Dot]

6. Actually, the next thing that spit out on my playlist was

"One Thing Leads to Another" by The Fixx, which really reminds me of my high school dances!

Have to go to bed soon, though. Sorry!

[LaraMN]

12. It's ok. It'll probably get pretty rough in here. You should go to bed.

We don't want anyone wandering around in a stupor- that's how people get hurt. I'm planning a mosh pit, later.

[SeattleGirl]

Mosh pit?????? I'm in!!!

Woohoo!!!!!!!!! :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce:

[SeattleGirl]

2. Oooh, I love to dance!

Though I prefer male partners, but hey, we could figure something out until the guys get here!

[LaraMN]

4. Don't worry- I won't grind on you.

Probably.

[SeattleGirl]

5. And I was so hoping you would!

:evilgrin:

[LaraMN]

7. I've only had coffee.

Perhaps I should crack the vodka. It IS Saturday night.

[SeattleGirl]

8. Well, I have the Black Velvet out

We'll have a toast! :toast:

Then we'll dance!

[LaraMN]

9. Yay! Sounds good to me!

I'll toss some Buttershots in my coffee! :toast:

[SeattleGirl]

10. There you go!

:toast:

[LaraMN]

16. Guys dance funny.

But you know when you find one who can move well, it's usually a good sign...

[SeattleGirl]

18. Oh, yeah!

Some guys have the BEST moves! :evilgrin:

[LaraMN]

22. It's all about inhibitions or the lack thereof, I believe.

Double:evilgrin:

[SeattleGirl]

23. Definitely!

Toss those inhibitions out the window! :evilgrin:

[Deja Q]

24. Well, I'm a close approximation... and a quick learner!

:rofl:

[Taverner]

11. Can I start some Huey Lewis?

:evilgrin:

[LaraMN]

13. Isn't it past your bedtime?

You're too old to be up with us Hardcore Partiers.

:o
:P
:7

[Taverner]

15. But it's so hip to be square baby!

[LaraMN]

20. Who told you that, and why did you believe them?

No baby T news yet, huh? Must be soon!

[Taverner]

27. Any minute...

Little Willow is full term, so any moment I might be in a delivery room, giving birth.

Oh wait, I'm not the one that's pregnant....

[LaraMN]

28. You must be so excited!

My absolute best memories are of my labors and deliveries. You're so lucky! I hope it all goes well.

[Taverner]

38. Best memories of labors and deliveries?

Do you enjoy pain?

Seriously - we are excited!

[LaraMN]

44. I don't mind pain with a purpose so much.

As long as I know it's productive, I can deal with it. My longest labor was entirely unmedicated and I was absolutely exhilerated for hours, afterwards. After my first baby, I knew basically what to expect, and I wasn't terribly afraid of labor in my subsequent pregnancies. I was dead quiet when I was in pain, and joking around, when I wasn't.

I hope we get to see pictures when she arrives! My oldest friend is due to have a baby in a few weeks, but may very well deliver earlier (she's already walking around at 3cm) and I'm dying to see her new little girl!

[Oeditpus Rex]

14. Meh... all this 'modern' music

If yer gonna dance, dance.

[LaraMN]

17. Sure, why not!

No limits on type of music or dance! Swing dancing is terribly fun, too!

[SeattleGirl]

19. I know how to swing dance, and waltz, and fox trot, and

tango! Anybody wanna dance?

[LaraMN]

21. I've been doing the strip dance video.

But I'm only so-so at it. It's fun though!

[bettyellen]

25. i have a compilation cd called "strip jointz"

it was the "Z" that clinched the sale,
that shit is deep. love it.

[LaraMN]

30. Oh funny! I don't have my own music set up yet- I'm still working on

the moves. I'd like to get a routine down before Valentine's Day.

[SeattleGirl]

26. Really?

I'd like to get hold of that!

[LaraMN]

32. It's not difficult to do. This is the one my friend bought us to try:

It's the first disc in a series (of how many, I'm uncertain.) Be prepared to giggle alot!

[bettyellen]

35. i think it may be "strip jointz 2", lol don't ask me the names of any song

except for "turn out the lights" ... but that one will have you searching your apt for a pole to twist around.

[LaraMN]

37. Ok- I might have to check that out!

It's probably not the kind of music I'd typically dig- but it sounds as though it would serve my purposes well in this instance! :thumbsup:

[bettyellen]

45. it is music with a purpose, no doubt!

have fun with it.
:thumbsup:

[Oeditpus Rex]

29. I'll tango with ya

If you stuff your blouse with eggs. :evilgrin:

[SeattleGirl]

33. You brat!

I have no need to stuff my blouse! :evilgrin:

[Oeditpus Rex]

41. Not *that* kinda stuffin'

You hide the eggs in there so Ricky won't know you're smugglin' 'em out to the henhouse so he'll think the chickens are laying and you'll get to keep 'em. Then he comes in and wants to rehearse the tango the two of you are doing for the benefit show.

You can guess the rest.

[SeattleGirl]

43. I see

That would make for some very interesting moves!

[Oeditpus Rex]

46. See that stamp-sized photo?

That was when he smacked her against him at the end.

Longest laugh in "I Love Lucy" history.

[SeattleGirl]

48. Damn, I must have missed that one!

And I thought I had seen them all!

[Heidi]

31. May I be the token wallflower?

I don't really dance, but I do enjoy people-watching. :hi:

[LaraMN]

34. Of course!

People-watching in that kind of environment is typically quite interesting. Alot of overt behavior!:hi:

[Heidi]

39. Thanks, LaraMN.

Carry on. I'll just camp here quietly with my sketchpad. :pals:

[SeattleGirl]

36. Heidi, gf!!!!

How are you, baby? Smoochies to you! :* :* :* :loveya:

We can teach you how to dance, if you don't know how!

[Heidi]

40. Hiya, honey.

Oh, I know _how_, but I'd rather watch. :hug: :* :loveya:

[SeattleGirl]

42. Okay, you can watch!

:loveya:

[hfojvt]

47. don't really dance?

That's terrible.

Oddly enough, I do dance, when I can find a partner, and usually do so oddly enough. My niece's husband's sister said I was as bad as her dad. She said this to my mom, of all people, but my mom disagreed. She said that her dad was making a fool of himself. Apparently I either was not getting enough floor time, not trying hard enough, or had better moves. Or maybe she was just giving her son the benefit of the doubt.

[LaraMN]

49. My best friend in the world is a HYSTERICAL dancer.

I know it, she knows it, and she doesn't care. That's what I love about her. She's probably my favorite person to dance with because she just flails with abandon, and THAT is what dancing really should be about.

[hfojvt]

55. you gotta dance like nobody's watching, but

I always feel like somebody's watching me.

There! Over on the wall - it's Heidi!!! I knew it!

But I am not hysterical. My sister was impressed, and she is not known for being kind. She, however, is a person I will never dance with again. The contact was way too intimate, and that is what slow dancing should be about, only NOT with your sister.

[Heidi]

56. I was watching you in a _subtle_ way

that you would not have noticed. :grr:

[hfojvt]

57. "You feel the eyes upon you

as you're shaking off the cold
you pretend it doesn't bother you
but you just want to explode
most times you can't hear 'em talk
other times you can
oh, the same old cliches
'is that a woman or a man?'..."

[Heidi]

58. I lovelovelove that song.

Thank you, my friend, for reminding me. Popping the Seger CD in _right_ now. :hug:

[hfojvt]

63. Can we skip to Katmandu

und tanzen wir? :hide:

[Heidi]

64. I'm not gonna dance!!!!

:scared:

[hfojvt]

67. alles ist traurig

:cry:

[Heidi]

68. Don't be sad.

You can sit here by me and we can make fun of Crazy Guggenheim dancing. :hug:

[Heidi]

53. I can, but I don't.

I don't enjoy it, so I don't do it, sort of like some people don't like to read and other people don't like to sketch. I love music, but I don't enjoy dancing to it. :shrug:

[Oeditpus Rex]

50. I'll teach ya

I'm very patient and gentle. O8)



Uh... how tall are you? :shrug:

[Heidi]

51. I'm 5'8".

Are you going to make fun of me later, though? :shrug:

[Oeditpus Rex]

52. Not me

That's CMW's job.



5' 8"... :loveya:

[Heidi]

54. That's barefoot, ya understand.

In my new boots, I'm nearly 6'0". :wow:

[Oeditpus Rex]

59. Can I borrow you and Lara for Halloween?

We could go trick-or-treating as a Dodger Dog. :woohoo: :bounce:

[Heidi]

61. You'll be the weiner in the middle, right?

:blush:

[Oeditpus Rex]

65. Uh...

yeah.

:blush:



But the buns'll make me happy. :woohoo: :bounce:

[Omphaloskepsis]

60. I would love to but...

I can't dance, really, I try, my friends tell me to stop. I was in Koln and a girl from Ireland told me to stop dancing. I was dancing with her at the time. I can break dance like a madman. Just nothing else.. *does the windmill to turtle*

[Heidi]

62. It's OK, Omphaloskepsis.

People like you are welcome here. :hug:

[Omphaloskepsis]

66. Well Played..

:thumbsup:
