swingchickie | saturday morning update

been a while since i've posted. it's amazing how the days kinda get away from you!

went swing dancing last night, for the first time in months and months. it was a lot of fun, good to see many of my friends and catch up on life. i am so out of shape, though... i only danced to maybe 6 or 7 songs and was dying. several newbies came up to me and a buddy after one really good dance, and asked us to show them some moves, which was really flattering. i really need to go out dancing more, it feels so good when you're having a really good dance connection with someone. there's nothing else like it.

one beauty tip i realized though: if youre going out dancing, and know you're going to be red-faced and sweaty, do not load on the makeup (including bright BRIGHT red lipstick). once you start sweating, you will look like a dumbass.

things with the b.f. have been ok. still taking things day by day, just living a normal life with that undercurrent of things that neither of us wants to say. last night i ran into a guy who i had a crush on years ago... he doesn't even know that i exist, but i used to admire him from afar... and seeing him last night gave me a quick jolt for like 2 seconds... and i felt awful. i would never leave the b.f. over that, i could never do that because i love him so much and i want this to work. but for that 2 seconds, it just brought back a memory that i couldn't control.

we saw "lost in translation" the other night. amazing movie, but don't see it if you're having relationship issues.
