Take A Picture

It's the title of a song from the 90s, but not the point of this entry.

Tonight was another great ladies night with Mylene. Mostly she was dancing with a guy she met last week and I was dancing with a group of new friends. It's so fun. It's not that other people don't know how to dance. Some don't, but it's more like this group of people dance like...Step Up 3 for example. It's more than grinding and bumping up against a guy. That's what I've been missing.


Some of us were born to dance. We feel the beat and flow in our bones. Our muscles move on their own. It's like magic.

Dancing is my happy place.

Tonight I got one of the best compliments ever. One of the big club photographers in Portland said I took really great photos every time I go out. He said it in a way that implied he had looked specifically at my photos on facebook. How flattering. At the end of the night he told me where he would photographing this weekend and said I should be there. So I shall be.

Tomorrow night I'm gonna try and convince Hallie to go out, Friday is the art walk or work and then hopefully I'll go out again, and maybe Saturday too. I don't need money or men to dance. I just need my sexy body. Plus I like to keep myself busy whenever Luke goes out of town.

I also saw Love and Other Drugs with Mylene tonight. It was really good. Parts were slow, but the end made me tear up. Jake Gyllenhaal said something at the end that was exactly how I feel. I don't remember the exact quote, but basically he said thousands of people come and go in your life without really touching you, but what really matters is that one person who changes your life forever.
I couldn't help but think of a certain man :)
