Best Dance Ever

I think I should stick to writing, not modeling for book trailers. Especially of my own works.

Sooooo... I'm so done with pictures. I don't ever want to take one with Brian again, haha. Apparently we took over 900 today. UGH.

But it was fun. Thanks, Lauren! And all those who participated. Love youuuuuus.

So, after all of the exhaustion of that today, we (the amazing Kerr 133 girls... whom I love dearly... and they know that... and some other kids from their FHE group and Kyle and Lauren and Brian) went to a special needs dance. Yeah, where they brought all these people with disabilities- ranging from like 15 to upper adult- and let them party with those of us who would enjoy hanging with them. Let me just say, amazing experience. (Although I did get rejected by a guy named Jacob when I asked him to dance. Sob. True story, haha.) It was really cool. Especially Nan and Taylor, who were pulling in every "special needs" into our circle, asking the questions, and Taylor's favorite line of the night: "Yeah, I saw you dancing it up over there earlier. You've got some moves!" (or something along those lines). I was so amazed by the two of them. I, being my sort of anti-social self, didn't really ask any of them to dance, just because I don't really talk to strangers well.

And, yes, I'm pathetic, and slow-dancing is one thing I dread more than anything, because it's SO DANG AWKWARD. Especially with "special needs," because I can never gage just how out of it they are (excuse my improper terms), and I don't want to offend them by just assuming that they don't understand stuff or whatever... you know what I mean? It makes me nervous. Especially when I couldn't tell if some of the people there were just socially awkward or considered a "special need." I sincerely hope I didn't mis-label anyone. Which makes me also think... did anyone think IIIIII was a "special need?" (I really hate that term: "special needs." Bad.)

But just standing sort of in the shadows for a few moments, just WATCHING everything that was going on, seeing people who were being so selfless and KIND with these people... it was amazing. I wish I was that good of a person. Definitely something to strive for.

Um... yeah. Like after every dance, however, I've got a headache from Hades. It's totally turning into migraine-status, meaning light and sound KILLLLLLLLLL. Also, like after every other dance, I'm exhausted and my feet hurt. In combination with the fact that I didn't fall asleep until 6:30 this morning, due to the fact that I had caffeine and I was sleeping on a lousy couch with my thin little Batman blanket (YUUUUUS), then got up at 9... yeah, I'm totally exhausted. SLEEP... I need sleep...
