Tired but pleased

bethlakshmiLet's see...
Yeah... it'd be neat if I mention that BEFORE I go - but well, wasn't 100% sure of going - as I couldn't go play if homework wasn't done.![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
new_man was the impetus - he was being the tour guide for a British friend, and her sister - both of whom are very cool. We also scooped up my roomate, who was having a really shitty night, and needed the feeling of a pack with her.
A generally nice night - dance floor not packed (yay! space for me!), and although the DJ in the back was pretty mopey, he played quite a few songs I like. The front room was good, too - it's been a while since I enjoyed dancing there. Mostly enjoyed not doing a "not structured" dance thing. Although we improv now in ME class, I still make an effort to dance cleanly, and in the Middle Eastern style - not drawing in too much Indian or club dance. And in teaching Indian, I'm being super-careful not to pull in from other forms, as how else would my students learn? So... dancing was very freeing - I could be sloppy, I could play with some of the styling that other club dancers did, I could mix Indian and ME as I like... wheee! Nonetheless - couldn't get the ME out of my system - been too long since I was club dancing - have fallen behind on latest stylings, and have been too intense in formal dance training - I look like a gothy belly dancer. Hmm... how about that? :)
Got some nice compliments, and from people I know - which is somehow more meaningful. You're friends, I think, don't feel the need to affirm you for any other reason than them noticing you doing something cool. Strangers may have many various motives.
new_man kept up his usually charming front, but was definitely tired. Perhaps it is a complement to each other that we no longer feel the need to be "on" for each other. We can be tired and a little slumpy if we are tired and slumpy. But it kind of meant that when left alone, we lapsed into periods of barely-vertical, in between actually interesting conversation. That's fine. Driving home was tough - had spent my last two ergs of energy walking to car, and thus was pretty tired. new_man was good about keeping me awake though.
