swing kid in the making...maybe

So I have this friend and he takes me swing dancing. If anyone knows me, they would laugh at this statement. He always laughs at me because I don't have any "talent show" talents. I'm not musically inclined, can't move my hips or juggle sharp objects. He takes me anyways. At first it was really awkward. I have no idea what I'm doing. But I soon came to the realization that the leads will throw the follows where ever they want (See...I've even picked up the lingo). It's all about fakin' it and having fun. The Swing Kids (as they call themselves) are a funny group of people. The girls are awesome...all really down to earth and fun. The boys on the other hand are a different story. They are like the dorky boys in your chemistry but the second they step on the dance floor they have this ultra ego that comes alive. People get into with costumes and crazy trick! And they dance till all hours of the night. After the dance, they go the the Malt Shoppe for more dancing. MORE! This happens Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday night. Repeat. Overall, I'm considering selling my soul to this.

That sounds like tons of fun. I was never brave enough to do swing seriously.
