We can dance if we want to

[cyrano]

So after the financial aid seminar on Saturday, I did actually make it to the Gotham Black and White ball. And it was probably an hour before I had crippled myself. Muscles needed for waltzing and nothing else tend to atrophy if you haven't waltzed in years. My hip is still stiff--I'm hoping to stretch it out tonight at the gym. So I obviously need to add ballroom dance classes to my college courseload. I broke the singing in the car rule, but she started it.
I sort of recognized some people, and there was T and NERO folks, but mostly it was a room full of strangers. And, of course, my lovely companion. I took about fifty photos, many of which are pretty much crap. Adjusting to (a) this camera in particular and (b) any camera at all. The reaction speed was frustrating, especially trying to catch dancers rather than the backs of their heads. I got to meet some new people, and learned that I need to clean the lens. (:

EDIT: In unrelated news, Ted Haggard is now 200% straight, we are assured. Plus, he's off the junk. And Satan is coming over to pick up his stuff on Thursday and then he's never allowed back in the house.

Only one question: Where do you hide the Tommy gun in that outfit? :-)

Have you seen the size of those pants? There is *plenty* of room.

When I started to learn the various dances, I never thought that I'd find waltz to be the most strenuous.
