Space

[jchrisobrien]

There's a space you create when your dancing, about the lenght of your arms. Once you start dancing for about a song, you carve this space out on the dance floor. The better dancers will respect your space and work within their own. The clumsier ones will stagger into you, or step on your feet.

There are exceptions to this rule: the drunk who can't quite realize where his space ends, the entusiastic dancer who focuses more on jumping around that watching where they are going. But by and large collisions are few and far between.

It was a pretty good night, but there was a familar bittersweet undertaste. But I'm not going to elaborate on it anymore. I'm just going to go to bed, and sleep it off.

Things are good. But they could be better.

*snicker. Her dancing radar was malfunctioning, in the future she will know better.

Normally, I'm the one that gets smacked. Usually by Dorian. But she's got a lot more control these days.

I had an accidental hand-smack with Q last night .. unfortunately we were both in mid-spin, so I think both our hands were going pretty fast when they whapped against each other full-force.
