So, sorry guys. I know I sorta lied when I said I would be putting one up on the next day in my last post. It wasn't meant as a lie, but then it sorta turned into one when I totally was uber busy the next day and didn't get home before like midnight...
But Saturday I did zumba for the first time! That was fun. I definitely enjoyed it a bunch, and its on my to-do-again list. I also was able to go to some dance classes, Swing, West Coast Swing, and Salsa. And then I went and played Dodgeball. And after a short break for dinner, I went to a dance in an airport hangar and danced until 11:50 at night... It was pretty intense. And I discovered I have muscles that disagree with being used for dancing for so long... my back, between the shoulder blades in particular. Also discovered that I can I can use my hips with a lot more motion than I had thought possible... All in all, a great day of self discovery and dancing. And I wish I could do it again.
But without the aching like a bum the next day.
Like, when I mean aching like a bum, I mean being so sore you just lay in bed until noon because moving at all hurts, and being dehydrated makes your head hurt so you're stuck between hurting like crazy to get up and get water, which you feel like throwing up as soon as you sip some, or hurting a little less than crazy by just laying there and dealing with the headache. It's like a hangover but better... no horrible aftertaste and wondering what exactly happened the night before. Sadly however, its not an easy thing to get rid of.
So, I resorted to yogurt and some ibuprofen... which did the trick, thank heavens. I also watched the last episode of Lost again, which is possibly the most amazing piece of work done for an episodic show ever, and showered. So, feeling warm and comfortably filled (Yogurt does really well on a-slightly-upset-and-not-wanting-but-needing-food stomach) but not vomity*ish filled stomach, I decided to play me some of the new (er) Metroid game, Other M, and I beat it! Well, I beat it too the closing credits. It appears theres more gameplay after that point, but I finished the main game it seems.
I'm very, very, very proud of myself for that. I didn't think I was going to be able to do that without having my friend Zak (the one I borrowed the game from) come over and fight the boss levels for me. But he didn't need to except for one early on, and he was at my house already, not like I called him up to come and fight it for me.
Fun to note; Dance classes are a great way to meet people. There was another guy there with my name! Not my last name, but he had the name Keegan as well! It was crazy! Partners would trade every couple minutes (3-6 minutes) and that would mean the girl just goes down the line for who she's dancing with, so this kid and I stood next to eachother, so the girl would get done dancing with one Keegan and her next dance partner would be another Keegan. That was pretty cool, and it threw a couple girls for a loop, but what was really funny was the next two guys before us were both named John. So it was two J's and then two K's right in a row who both had the same name. By the time the girl got to the other Keegan, they were wondering if we were pulling a prank, and if the next guy would be named Liam or something starting with an L. There were some ridiculously cute girls there too, not going to lie. However, by the time the dance started after dodgeball (around 8:50) I had such a major headache already that I didn't go and find the girls who had told me to go find them and dance with them. I'm sort of regretting it today, but you know, there'll be more things like that eventually.
There was a girl there actually whose name was Emily, but she had a name tag on that said Starla. Apparently she loves Napoleon Dynamite. Unfortunately I said I hate that movie, just before she said she loved it. Still, I was able to save the conversation with some fancy footwork (meaning we started working on the next segment) and we started joking about something else. So besides my horrible blunder within the first few moments of meeting Emily (I mean Starla) we became friends, or at least friends enough that we talked for a bit. (And the Emily that reads this... Funny thing is she sorta looked like you. It was kinda strange)
So, all in all, the youth conference was a blast. I had a bunch of fun, and woke up with a pounding headache and extremely sore. Sounds like a successful weekend to me!
Anyways, I'm going to be heading off to bed now. I've got work early in the morning (well, not too early. 7 ish) and so I want to get some rest in. Night! See you all Tuesday!
