"La Salsa!"
we went salsa dancing tonight with ariel, her brother brendan, kate, and halie. pretty fun. i haven't danced in so long! i felt like i was falling all over the place, but didn't, actually. we have a wonderful new addition to the hall; ariel, who is warm, friendly, and outgoing. she got kitchen appliances for our kitchen, and her brother is visiting from uc santa cruz. she's thrilled to be at mills, and having a blast already. kate is really funny, halie looked beautiful, and brendan is the sweetest guy i've met in a long time. in fact, one of the only guys i've met in a long time! *frown*
it's not hard to attract attention on the dance floor (for better or worse), but that's not the point. i'm finally starting to understand that that isn't the goal. the goal is to enjoy myself, un-self-consciously, not putting on a show, not worrying about whether i'm doing the steps according to the way my partner wants me to, or whether he finds me attractive. what a waste. i need to be taught how to have fun without worrying what others think.
now we're watching snl. will forte is doing a variation of his "tim calhoun" character that has me in stitches. too bad "tim calhoun" hasn't been on the show in awhile. seems like the show has too much talent--will forte and others seem under-used. i thought the show was doing just fine until they hired new folks, who are also extremely talented.
amina, brenna, and lorien also got off campus, to gaylord's. a successful evening for all. now i must begin the excavation to remove my makeup. forgot how long my legs were until i wear shorts and heels. pretty funny business. i will have a glass of milk before bedtime, and contemplate the fact that there is a cute, sweet boy asleep in the room next to the room next to mine (with my blanket).
