This is a perfect example of how I feel about now. Courtesy of tdj.
I really shouldn't complain. I've basically been snowed in with Dev and Nub for the past day. Its been entertaining as hell.
We went ahead and a FABOO Floss! last night despite all my grumbling and wanting to bail. Then an amazing game of three team darts at Gannon's. A quick jump across the street to the Wild Goose to say howdy to manda et al was followed by a trek to The Hideout with Billbo. Nub and the party van soon followed.
For that brief period, before the boys finally got there, I felt super self-conscious. I told Billbo so. I don't how I came to the judgement that everyone else there was prettier, cooler, and smarter than me. With a little reassuring from Billbo, I didn't decide to hate myself.
Then came the dancing. Elixar to all woes for me. A girl dancing next to Nub beckoned me to dance onstage with them. She was so adorable but looked as though she'd take no guff. Turns out she was the best DJs of the evening. Everything got me groovin' or really spoke to me.
You could find somebody better girl
He could only make you cry
You deserve somebody better girl
He's c-cold as ice

When your day is through, and so is your temper,

I know they don't sound the way I planned them to be.
But if you'll wait around awhile, I'll make you fall for me,
I promise you, I promise you...

All the cops in the donut shop say
Ay oh whey oh, ay oh whey oh
Walk like an egyptian
Walk like an egyptian
ok so the last was a gag but it was fun to dance to...
There was one song that I *think* she spun kinda was some wacky coincidence. Quite fitting though for the weirdness lately. Someone had posted anonymously in my comments: "Nothing left for me to do but dance." I had a hell of a time placing where I'd heard it before. I'd thought for sure it was a movie quote. It was very near the end of the night and Nub gets me up off the floor to keep dancing and its to ...
Jamiroqai- Canned Heat
You know this boogie is for real
I used to put my faith in worship
But then my chance feels just too heaven sent
I used to worry about the future
But now I throw my caution to the wi-i-i-ind
I had no reason to be carefree
No, no, no
Until I took a trip to the other side of town
Yeah, yeah, yeah
You know I heard that boogie rhythm, hey!
I had no choice but to get down, down, down, down
Dance! Whooo!
Nothing left for me to do but dance
All these bad times I'm going through
Just dance!
Got canned heat in my heels tonight, baby...
Whoooooo ohhh
I feel the thunder, see the lightning
I know this anger's heaven sent
So I've gotta hang out on my hang-ups
'Cos on my boogie I feel so hell-bent hey, hey
It's just an instant gut reaction, that I got
I know I've never ever felt like this before
I don't know what to do
But then that is nothing new
Stuck between hell and high water, me I'll kill to make it through, hey!
Dance, yeah
Nothing left for me to do but dance!
All these bad times I'm going through
Just dance! hey
Got canned heat in my heels tonight, baby...
You know this boogie is for real, gal
So much canned heat in my heals, yeah
Gonna dance, gonna dance my blues away tonight
You know Im gonna dance my blues away
You know this boogie is for real, gal
So much canned heat in my heals, yeah
Gonna dance, gonna dance my blu-u-u-es awa-a-a-y toni-i-i-ght
Dance! Whooo!
Nothing left for me to do but dance
All these bad times I'm going through
Just dance
Got canned heat in my heels tonight, baby
Whoooooo ohhh
Dance, yeah
Oh the nasty things that people say
Dance, yeah
But Im gonna make it anyway
Dance, yeah
Canned heat in my heals tonight, baby
You know that this boogie is for real
Got so much canned heat in my heals
Gonna dance, gonna dance my blues away tonight
Whooo!
You know, you know this boogie, this boogie is for real
Got so much canned heat, canned heat in my heals...

Yeah, I love me some Canned Heat. That song was pretty much my anthem through 2001. Also, The Promise was my favorite song in 1997... Sounds like teh Hideout did you pretty well.
