Talie's blogging her bucket list! Jealous? We are! —Sparkitors
This week was like a roller coaster ride through Crazytown. I started my new job as a personal assistant, which means that not only do I have to manage my life, but also someone else’s personal AND professional life, too. It’s rather stressful, to say the least.
But despite the wild ride, I managed to cross one thing off of the list…
Number 27- Dance in a very public place in the most embarrassing manner possible.
Oh, we did dance. We danced like there was no tomorrow.
And it was embarrassing.VERY embarrassing.
It was Saturday night. My friend and I were sitting around, doing absolutely nothing and being tragically bored. We didn’t have anywhere particularly exciting to go to because absolutely nothing exciting goes on in our town. In a desperate attempt to make sure that the stereotype of the youth being wasted on the young didn’t become our reality, we brainstormed a few ideas. TP a house? We didn’t have an abundance of toilet paper. Cruise around town wearing sunglasses like a couple of lax bros? GO TO THE 24-HOUR GROCERY STORE?!
Pathetic, I know.
Finally, we made a decision. We decided to mosey around town (yes, I said MOSEY). Actually, we didn’t want to just walk around town. We made the gutsy decision to dance around town. Literally.
So we whipped my iPhone out, cranked up the tunes, and danced ourselves out onto the street. When we first began our superbly-awesome-sauce-dance-party-of-epic-ness consisting of two people, we realized that, sadly, there was hardly anyone around to see the epic-ness/cringe-worthy behavior (it depends on your outlook on life). Luckily, when we pounded the sidewalks of the main road with our dancing feet, there were PLENTY of people to see us.
And by plenty, I mean about half the town.
We originally didn’t want to embarrass the many pedestrians walking/running past us by dancing towards them, but after a while we figured, WHY THE HECK NOT? So we started dancing after them, which resulted in a lot of weird looks, a couple of hysterical fits of laughter, and a few high-fives, one of which was to me from an extremely attractive stranger.
And we got a vast number of honks and cheers from infinite number of cars that passed us, which we responded to by pointing to the cars and cheering right back at them. Oh, and let me assure you guys, we weren’t dancing in a provocative manner. Oh, no. We were dancing in a way in which we thought was halfway decent. (Which means that we were dancing in the most humiliating way possible.)
If any of you looked up “Random Girls Dancing Like They Were Having Seizures on the Side of the Road” on YouTube, you’d find a video of me and my friend, throwing away the little dignity we had left by dancing our hearts out. In hindsight, I don’t know why we didn’t record it. But I did take some lovely pictures of myself to illustrate the responses to our antics...
Me and my friend:
Everybody who was watching us:
Okay. To answer all the questions that will inevitably come: YES, that is really me, and NO, I am not a hipster, despite the fact that I’m wearing a beanie in both of these pictures.
I have one thing crossed off the list! HALLELUJAH! Now to get working on the other ones…
For #5 (Be an extra in a movie): I heard from some of my sources that Iron Man 3 will be shooting in a town in my state… And I checked online and discovered, much to my surprise, that the rumors are true. Apparently they’ll be needing 1,000 extras. Unfortunately, due to my SUPER BUSY JOB, I can’t take time off to go audition to be a extra in a movie, so I’m just gonna email them and see what happens…
And for #28 (Make a TOTALLY AWESOME musical/play and put it on YouTube): I’m in the process of writing a play. No joke. It’s something that I’ve been writing for a while, I just didn’t have time to work on it my first semester at college. Now that I have soooo much more time on my hands (insert hysterical laughter here), I can finish it up.
As for the boys in my life, let me put it this way: the presence of boys in my life is like the presence of a stable soul in Voldemort’s body.
Oh, and the Elvish (aka Sindarin!!) is coming along rather nicely.
Talie :)
What do you think of Talie's dancing in public? Success? What should she write about next?
