swingchickiegod, i'm exhausted. i got very little sleep last night... i went to bed around 12:30, but almost immediately my legs started getting twitchy and there was no way i could sleep. (since i was a kid i've had something called "restless legs syndrome", where when i'm falling asleep or sitting for a long time, i'll get this awful tickle deep inside my kneecaps. nothing helps except walking around for like a good 30 minutes or so, and even that's not a guarantee.) so i tossed and turned for a couple of hours, and finally at 3am i found myself online, moving my legs in place and trying desperately to tire myself out so i could go back to bed. it just so happens that peter was online... we stopped seeing each other a little over a week ago, and our contact has been limited, so it was really nice to chat with him again. and within minutes we were both totally cracking up as we caught up on each others' lives. after chatting for almost an hour, my legs were better enough to hit the sack, and my heart felt better as well. when 2 people have such a nice connection as we do, it's a sin to lose it just because the romance part is over. so i'm so glad we've been able to stay friendly, and i went to sleep really happy.
i think the whole restless legs thing had started because i went west coast dancing last night. it was a lot of fun... it was another one of those nights where i had to drag my ass off the couch (it was cold and rainy, and "law & order" was on), but i'm so glad i did. i had some great dances with the guys i knew, and several people i'd never seen before asked me to dance, which was really nice (people who don't know me typically don't ask me to dance... i've always felt that it's cause i'm not a little size 0 westie-lookin' chick). there was this one guy i danced with who seemed to be good... and when we got out on the floor, he danced like a freaking angel. it was absolutely amazing, one of those better-than-sex dances you replay in your mind months later. but my god, the guy was so stoic. we had this great dance, i thanked him when it was done, and he just nodded and didn't even crack a smile. that just amazes me, and it's something i see occasionally with this kind of dance... dancing is so much fun, how can you not smile while you're doing it???
ugh, i need to pull myself together. i'm going to brunch with some lindy hoppers, then immediately to the movies with the ex and his friends ("the incredibles"... woot!). but god, i just want to crawl back into bed and sleep for another few hours. yowmp, i sure do.
