So we danced

So one my favorite parts about my job is show day. I’m always excited, who’s going to come, how’s it going to go, are we going to go to the after party? All the work comes together and the show just goes on. Overall good show I’d say. The host cracked me up. I’m a fan of Jessica Simpson (sort of – I think I just really like pop stars, I love when people are famous for who they are even if they aren’t the most talented person out there). And I’m (now) a big fan of George Lopez.
On this particular show I worked with a really good department. They put up with my endless chatter of dating and blogging and whatever else popped into my mind that I didn’t seem to have a filter to stop. Good sports these three, and they are all hilarious in their own way. So the shows over and we decided since we weren’t so much invited to the after party we’d just try to get in anyway. Jenny is very brave in this way. Turns out that this was not hard at all, you just walk right in. So we hit the bar, there are some lovely blue drinks floating around and we each get one. Bombay Sapphire Gin, I’m a fan. We manage to find ourselves some food, see a couple of CSI people, and grab a table right by the dance floor. We saw a girl that looked like Chloe from Smallville (it wasn’t) turns out she does the marketing for Bombay. She actually gets Ashlee Simpson more often – I can see that – she’s a good sport either way.
So at our front row table we watch this blonde officey kind of girl (who must be completely trashed right now) get down with this older Sammy Davis kind of guy. The moves these two had, and they didn't even know each other! He’s having her bend over then running across the floor leaping over her. And they just slide and wiggle back and forth across the dance floor. They both spend a lot of time laying on the dance floor wiggling about. It’s all very jaw dropping kind of moves. I have a second blue concoctions and think I should have a dance off with her, just to make it a little more fun. But really I think I would have needed a third drink so that didn’t happen.
The dance floor starts to fill up a bit and I beg my department to come dance with me. Jenny’s totally up for this (she hasn’t ever seen me dance) and with a bit of cajoling we get Brad on the dance floor but not Bryan. That is till he sees how much fun we are having be bopping about without a care in the world. Then he just can’t help but join us. I must say that was one of the best times I have had on a dance floor in a while. (Of course on Thursday I’m going to Cowboy Country early to learn a few dance moves – so we’ll have to see what’s better). And this quite girl came and danced with us, turned out she was all of 15! She didn’t look 15 that’s for sure, but nice girl, good dancer – she did this whole back bend thing kind of like Dirty Dancing but with out the guy holding her up. Impressive, and she did it in a very non-slutty club girl kind of way. At some point though you just wonder how long you’re supposed to stay on the dance floor. You just can’t think of any more moves and you get thirsty, but can you just leave your group on the dance floor? Turns out for the most part we were all done dancing. It wasn’t till I was back up stairs that I heard more songs that I new that I wanted to dance too. They played “Great Ball of Fire” how fun is that!
Oh and we met this girl Amanda who was 24 dating this guy I don’t remember his name, but the guy was 50! This Amanda girl thought this was funny stuff, she’s in med school going to be a pediatrician and they have this joke about how he’s a baby so that’s just perfect. (Ew!) Essentially she just seems to prey on older men. Not that this 50 year-old man is having any issue with this, he shares with me that they have a mutual affection for spanking. Ew, seriously people I’m just trying to say that maybe this is slightly inappropriate. That girl has trouble written all over her, and loves that about herself, good for her I guess – 24 with a questionable but healthy self-esteem. At least she doesn’t ask if her butt looks big all the time. But then we lose focus on this slightly disturbing situation when we find out there is a dessert bar. Yes they a chocolate fondue fountain, mmm good stuff, and ready made smores, which I didn’t have one, I just enjoyed the fact that they were available. Overall good party.
This morning I woke up to go to the chiropractor, but all that dancing and good time just relaxed me so there was very little adjusting to do. I felt a little bit silly going in and having no reason to be there but hey now I have a new chiropractor I really like should I ever throw my back out with all this new dancing I’m doing this year!

You go to a Chiropractor?

I once had a friend tell me that he was into asphyxiation sex with his girlfriend(now his wife).

Some things should really NOT be shared. Leave it in the bedroom people.
