So, NEFFA? Fucking awesome.

Things to write about later:
People: Mark, Sandy, Nigel, Mel, Peter, Hobbit, the usual suspects. Dancing: Lots. Other Stuff: Uhm. Other stuff.

"It's frightening as all hell, but those ten seconds when you can just open yourself up completely and cry on someone's shoulder are amazing."

Contra medley. Crossgender contras. Half of everyone in skirts. The Best Typo Ever. Give me a dollar, ask me why = total wins. Glee, semi-invitation to begin crashing Sunday night CVD practises and learning with them. Family dance, hee. New shoes! Clothing expenses. Swing plus short skirts. Otherstuff, otherstuff, otherstuff.

Nine hours of sleep since Friday. Fourteen or fifteen hours of dance or something like that. Proper numbers will come when I give a proper report, and not a sleep deprived babblestream.

Negative first anniversary's. Boys in skirts. Yay for Val and Mike, like so woah. I need to learn how to sew, I need proper gentleman's garb to accompany my tailcoat. Having a techgeek pack your bag = awesome. David and Persis = EPICALLY AWESOME. My hat is at Marc's house. Watching spatialgeeks pack cars = awesome. Intellectual crush, future crush, fandom crush.

Hot tubs are just about the best thing ever. My legs no longer love me. Never break in new dance shoes on your first ever contra medley. Yay, compliments on the whole "you've totally improved in the four days you've been doing this kind of dance". Yay getting to lead. Banana Panne Cotte is really fun to say, even if it's not spelled right. All we want to do is eat your brains. Sing alongs in the car are something I should do more often. Sorry Grace. Assorted rules of NEFFA. And of contra.

Shit, forgot to give Jesse a card. Damn, that Daniel was cute, wasn't he? HI MARK (if you're reading this yet). Hi...anyone else I gave a card to. Kendra is wins and love. When I get tired I'm really easy to convince to dance. Glee, Susan used me to demo when I was the odd person out. No seriously, double glee for that. Also glee for my gradoise secret plan of convincing her to like me working and working *well*. Yay for being better at that quadrille the second time I did it. (ie, here as opposed to the tea dance)

Eric, you need to take me to contra, since I pretty much told people I'd be practising that over the summer. P.S: I'm awesome at it.

I'm sure I have more to say, scrawled in my notes and on the schedule, but I have things I ought to be doing. Sleep really ought to be one of them, shouldn't it? Ah well.

MOOP!

"semi-invitation to begin crashing Sunday night CVD practises and learning with them"

I want details.

Also, yay that you had a good time. And . . . I did tell you sometime that I thought you'd enjoy contra, right?

Also, other stuff.

I was talking with Michael Bergman after strike, and mentioned that I had some amount of interest in learning more vintage stuff, and maybe eventually joining CVD (though if it's based in New Yawk, that would be...trickier) He told me that I should at least start coming along to practises and learning stuff. Uhmyeah.

Yay for good times. I have no idea if you told me that or not, I don't remember. It's not my favourite, but I did a lot of it. Also, guys in skirts. (Glee.)

Alsoalso, otherstuff.

CVD is Boston-based, hence "Commonwealth" Vintage Dancers. That's the rehearsal I go to every Sunday that I'm in town and not, say, in NYC.

"HI MARK (if you're reading this yet)."

BTW, hi Mark. Sorry I didn't get to see you for more than a couple minutes' chat. Hi Pink; sorry I didn't have a chance to do more than wave. I was doing a fair amount of being in a hurry to get somewhere this weekend.

Small world.

Hi, back! Sorry our encounter was so brief. I was actually just wandering around hoping to run into someone, at the time. ;-)

Howdy back!

So....small world, huh? *hugs* We'll get to dance another time.

Indeed.

I'm a little disappointed. I was so looking forward to running into you, [livejournal.com profile] hmark42, and [livejournal.com profile] kdsorceress at the same time so I could do hugs in turn and try to make some minds explode with the small-world moment, but it didn't work out.

*halfwhines*

I'll see what I can do, dear. The next two weeks are going to be Moderately Insane for me, but I'd like to see you again before I leave, especially since you're running off to college right about when I'm coming back, yeah?

Actually, I have an even better idea. YOU should come to Springstep tonight and do Scottish Country with me.

Springstep, Monday nights, 7:45 warm-ups, 8:00-9:00 class, break until 9:15 or so for water and cookies, dance until 10 or 10:30. Four dollars for students.

C'mon, you know you want tooooo!

*looks properly guilty*

For what it's worth, the last night I got more than four and a half hours of sleep was Thursday. I'm not really writing at full capacity right now.

HI MARK (if you're reading this yet).

HI KDSORCERESS! Yes, I'm reading this. Had a blast meeting, getting to know, and dancing with you (and such) this weekend! It was real easy to forget just how recently you started Contra Dancing. Looking forward to seeing you again, some time.

Yay getting to lead.

Was I your first?

Any time you need a place to crash in our neck of the woods, you are welcome (though I'm afraid I cannot offer you a hot tub at the current place ;-))

Hah!

Hi! I am totally owning that name from now on. It inspired me to buy more great pants! Sorry, took ages to respond. NEFFA was FAB!

I think it should be remeeting and getting to know, but yeah, yay.

*blushies!* You flatter! Although contra has, for whatever reason, come really easily to me, so I suppose the compliment is not completely unwarrented.

You were my first for leading contra, yes. Thanks again for forcing me to swing like a boy...it messed me up for whatever contra I did after that though, I just couldn't remember which arm was supposed to go where.

Should I ever wind up in your neck of the woods, I will certainly take you up on that.

Yes, what he said! You have crash-space with us (roughly 30 minutes from the Concord dances), and are more than welcome to visit for things other than dancing.

Sorry I missed out on dancing with you...we'll have to remedy that. :-)

Oh, the sleep I need....

You seriously just started? Whoa! KEEP IT UP!

Was great to meet you! Consider yourslef slightly stalked, in that Twitter-LJ kind of way.

Dude. Your icon is the greatest thing ever.

Yeah, I started contra the Thursday night before NEFFA. It actually was a pretty good idea --I learend the basic idea of what you're supposed to do and how the sets and progressions tend to work, as well as a couple steps, that Thursday, and then I immediately went and got a kinda obscene amount of practise to cement it all in my brain.
