Dancing is better when your day is just beginning....

I've found that if I start my day off with a silly dance, I'm happier for it. :)  I wake up, groggy and not wanting to move, I scrape myself from between the sheets and make my way to the bathroom.  I don't touch the lights, I just go straight to the shower to start the morning ritual of waiting for the hot water to arrive.  I stay clothed while I plug my iphone into it's speaker and find the song of the week.  Last week it was Carry Out by Timbaland and Justin Timberlake.  The week before was all about Break Your Heart by Taio Cruz and Ludacris.   Before that was Hey Soul Sister by Train, for a few weeks actually.  This week, the song is Do Better by Say Anything.  This is the song I plan to wake up to for at least a week, probably longer though. :)


    The song of the week usually just makes me happy because the beat makes my body want to move.  I'm always paying attention to lyrics, but sometimes, I just don't care if the lyrics are nothing but crap(Break Your Heart is the perfect example).  I'm just looking for something to make me smile and dance around like a fool.  This song is also my main theme for running that week.  I can't wait to get on the elliptical tonight and watch as my face expresses my love of the lyrics.  I've been told I can be pretty intense when I run, but that it's noticeable when I love the song I'm listening to.  I've cried while running before, typically out of sheer anger.  Hate on Me as sung by the Glee cast, has had that effect on me.  I'm cool with it though. :) They're version of "Smile" by Lily Allen makes me run harder and smile wider.  She talks about how he left her but wants her back now.  She smiles when she sees him cry because he deserves the pain.  :)  I know it's vindictive but I can't resist loving it.

   I'm feeling somewhat awkward these days.  I'm coming into a new me.  My body is changing and for the first time in my life, it's in a good way.  Apparently I'm looking much better than even I can tell.  I didn't realize.  I'm getting hit on by friends and strangers alike.  As I said, I feel awkward! I know that some of my friends have had crushes on me for awhile, but they know it'll never happen between us.  however, finding out that a friend has a crush on me, and my other friend was very well aware, is strange.  I was oblivious! David says he knew right off the bat because Jason stares at me every time we're all at the gym together and he asks a ton of questions about me. He wasn't very friendly towards David because he assumed my close friendship with David was actually a relationship.  *sigh* David thinks it's hilarious that I'm only just now finding out when he's known all this time.  Apparently I'm blind.  Ugh....oh well! He knows I'm seeing someone and won't do anything to ruin it.
