Heh... careful, he could just get a louder radio. Good going on the 00 BTW...
Thanks, I wasn't paying attention.
I don't mind people playing music or having the tv on at a dull roar, but several years ago, I lived on a "quiet lifestyle" floor in a dorm. This wasn't an ordinary "quiet lifestyle" floor - the boys in the suite next door enjoyed playing their music so loud around 2 am that it would shake my walls. I tried asking them to turn the music down, but they refused. So I had to keep calling the RA to get the authorities to get them to turn it down. After they proceeded to repeatedly beat on my walls and play their music even louder, the university let me move to another quiet lifestyle floor. I guess it was easier to move me than a large group of people. Plus, I was a party-pooper.
That was pretty cool...
Of course, ignoring a lawful order to "turn it down" had a bit more dire consequences as well.
Yeah. I can be a wet blanket too.
I went to 3 proms & danced once
or twice at each, frustrated my best
friend to no end. I just don't dance
with people much... especially since
most men can't dance anyway.
That looked good enough to eat.
LOL! If it's a game, it's one thing. But when people sign up to live on a "quiet lifestyle" floor and they know the rules, it's another.
I didn't go to any dances in high school. I do like to dance now, and I'll go if I get the chance. It's been so long since I've had a chance though.
Nope. I agree with you there.
Ballroom dancing. I could never have given Fred Astaire a run for his money, but I enjoy it. The only other kind of "dancing" I'm anywhere near competent at involves a mosh pit.
Going home. I'll check in later...
Our senior classes were so small every
year, so we just had Highschool proms.
I first went in 10th grade. A guy I knew
had been ditched by his date (a girl I
also knew)... so I went with him. I took
an outside friend in 11th grade. I dropped
out after the end of that year. So I went
to my best friend's senior prom which
should've been mine as well. She told me
I had to go, since I was her best friend &
it wouldn't be right without me. I haven't
gone dancing since, no place to go.
I don't like going to clubs by myself, so I have to find people to go with (which isn't easy around here).
I can almost waltz. I know the basics, I
just have no place & noone to practice
with. I'd like to learn tango... it's just
such a beautiful dance & I like the music.
I "moshed" enough with my brothers when
I was little, no more.
We don't have any clubs around
here (that I've EVER seen). We
have a bar just down the road
called The Dark Horse though.
The drunks drive crazy to get
there too, swerve right in front
of you & slam on the brakes.
See ya later!
LOL!
The only reason we have any clubs here is because it's a college town. Go outside the city limits and you'll have to drive several hours for the nearest club. Otherwise, there are lots of bars.
