Sometimes you just need a dancing dork to be your Romeo

I LOVE DORKS!

Enough said.

I've loved to dance since forever. Whether I was dancing around in gymnastics, doing a routine as a cheerleader, doing formal moves in dinner theater, or popping it on the gym floor with the dance team I've always loved it. My theory is that you don't have to be a good dancer, you just have to be entertaining.

In high school we went to the UDA dance camp in Charleston  and we learned that it was all about the face. It didn't matter how bad you messed up or if you forgot the moves because your face made the show. If you smiled and had fun, people didn't care if you looked like a fool. I always thought being a dancing fool was kinda fun. I never enjoyed the more "riskay" kind of dancing that took place at school, I was more likely to bust out the "chicken wing" or some other ridiculous and embarrassing maneuver. The point wasn't to follow the crowd or to look good, it was to have fun. That's F-U-N!

Now back to the dorks.
If you can't dance, who cares!! I'd rather be a dancing fool, than the bum that has the sad face in the corner as they watch everyone else dance.
One time my friends and I went to a concert at a bar and there was this guy "standing" in front of us. He was stiff and awkward, so I nudged him a little and he didn't budge. Finally is friend just broke out it what I can only assume to be his version of the "hand jive". It was without a doubt the most ridiculous thing I've ever seen, but I commend his efforts. The rest of that night we spent dancing with the dork doing a ridiculous hand jive to an 80's headbangers band. Completely contradictory, but I loved every minute of it. His friend might have been more attractive, but he was stiff and boring. We just need a little motion.

Having said that, I will leave you with this.
Footloose is absolutely one of my favorite movies (new and old version, but for this purpose we'll say the new one). If I could jump into that movie screen and marry Willard Hewitt, I would!!!


Mmmm I love me a crazy dancin fool....


 Mrs. Willard Hewitt.......yeah has a nice ring to it (:

Thank you for being Love

Another terrible love poem... I don’t know what to tell you: other than the heart of a giraffe weighs 22 pounds, and that when penguins find a mate, they stay together for life ; and someone once told me when flies fall in love, their entire brain is rewired to only love each other, and when one of them dies, their memory becomes blank. And I know this is nothing but a string of run-on sentences, and I can’t promise the dark clouds will never hover over our lives, or that the future will be filled with rainbows. I can’t promise that things will always be easy, or that you’ll never hurt. I don’t know how much my heart weighs, or what will happen when someone dies. I know kisses aren’t contracts, and love isn’t a promise. And I know I don’t love very many things, but here are the ones I can think of: I love the first sip of coffee in the morning, and wrapping scarves around my neck when it’s cold. I love the feeling a great song invokes, and getting lost in go...

Secrets of Horrible Flirting

Some people are really good at flirting. They know all the ins and outs of the opposite sex, navigating their words like a captain at sea. They dance over waves to capture their opponents' hearts, and jump for joy in their triumphs. And then, there is me . I don't think I was ever particularly good at dating.......or flirting.....or even talking with the opposite sex. It's not exactly my forte. I've had some good attempts, but generally if a guy is attractive, I choke on my spit trying to formulate a good sentence. The only time to actually demonstrate what would be considered good decent flirting, is when it is done accidentally. I know, I know. It's hard to believe. So maybe you need some examples. How about some totally hypothetical scenarios in which I may or may not have been a total idiot. I can neither confirm nor deny the truth in what you are about to read, as it may be ego shattering. But rest assured, if you're like me, you're not a...

I'm the caseworker that stole your children

Image
I watched you as we left court, and as your tears continually fell, another piece of me shattered. Although this is the outcome I wanted; this is what I came in and fought for, it’s still a loss. I still have to be the one that goes to your children and explain to them that they won’t see you anymore. I have to watch your child scream and cry and feel the confusion of no longer having a “mother”. I have to spend months watching them unravel, missing you, asking their caregiver questions that they may not have the answers to. And I’m sorry. I’m sorry for the days when I didn’t fight for you. I’m sorry for the times when I was too tired to call you back. I’m sorry for the weeks when I was too stressed to explain things to you. I’m sorry that I ever made you think I didn’t care. I’m sorry when I grew impatient with you and cut you off while you spoke. I’m sorry for the days when the overwhelming-ness of my job made me difficult to talk to. I’m sorry for the times when...
