LOL, you slay me Keither.

Whisper, the thing about the "emotional connection" came from the popular description of a really good dance as "three minute love-affair" or "conversation" (which we hear discussed in lindy, salsa, blues...etc, all the time). That's just some knuckleheads taking things to the nth power, I guess. You can't manufacture a good connection in your dance where it seems like the two of you are in sync or in the moment, it doesn't work that way.

Just think, if that were possible EVERY athlete could "put themselves in a zone", at will. To bad they can't.

Each scene has some people that say things out loud, do things in public, that make the rest raise their eyebrows or roll their eyes...

"Blues dancing" is metaphysical nonsense. :shrug:

You're seeeew right.

I find that the most effective way to find out if I'm just blues dancing with my follow is to check facebook. While we're dancing. No, seriously, the follow always loves that. And I only have to type with one hand, right? Then I update my status to "grimcat is currently blues dancing, but there's this vibe, but I saw her dancing like this with someone else, but she just made this weird noise so I don't know" and then I switch my relationship to It's Complicated. Then, after we're done dancing, I update it again to say, "grimcat is mistaken, it was totally just blues dancing". And then I switch it back to single. I find that this is the most effective way to keep people up to date on the vagaries of blues dancing. And totally not neurotic. :wink:

Best post today!!!

It's only fair, though, that she be given space within the dance to check her own Facebook account so that she can update her status as well. If perchance during the dance you notice that you have similar statuses and have both chosen "it's complicated," then you may have something there. :-)

I strive to compose posts of win, though sometimes I must use hay and duct tape.

Point taken And that, folks, is why it's not always useful to stay in closed position: it's hard to log on from there.

And if you both choose "it's complicated", does that make it MORE complicated, or does it simplify things? Hmm.

I am proud that this is one of my first actual discussions here on Yehoodi after lurking for so long. I feel I have so much to contribute! :-D

You may freely post in the "Post here if you have a HAWT avatar" thread.

Thank you. And you're welcome.

Here.

I've never heard anyone talk about a "three minute love affair" regarding Balboa. Maybe that's why I love it so much.

That, and the shoes...

That's b/c there was never enough room for the baby Jesus in Bal in the first place. You call that "love"?

:wink:

Extremely brief.

Yes Summer, I was referring to the "conversation".

Interestingly while at Portland's Lindy Exchange this weekend, someone gave me a whole new perspective about the "room for baby Jesus..." expression. I could get in trouble for repeating this, so I'll try to clean it up...

She said: "I like to dance too close to leave any room for the baby Jesus. It's inside me".

He said: " I guess Jesus gets a lot of underage ----"

:o

It was funny though, especially when she wouldn't stop loudly repeating it...with her voice echoing through the hall...
