    My housemate kinda surprised tonight in saying that he never dances. And in truth I've never seen him dance when out ever. Why not like? Are ye like that good people of AH? Do you dance in the house on your own? Or just when out? Is the primitive urge to dance fulfilled by modern society? Does it in fact play a much larger role in the machincations of our culture than we realise? Do you dance around the house in your underwear?



    I love dancing around the house when I'm on my own, makes the boring stuff better!

    We can dance if we want to. We can leave your friends behind. Cause your friends don't dance and if they don't dance.
    Well they're no friends of mine

    No. Unless "dance on your own" is a metaphor....in which case yes.

    My friend Stephen used to dance a lot but since he lost the use of his legs he just sits there and looks sad. Which is great because he was **** at dancing.

    Dancing is like sex, nobody is bad at it, they just sometimes get the timing wrong.

    For my friend Stephen dancing is just like sex for him nowadays, specifically the "struggling to get up" part.

    If he can nod his head he can dance, the sex part maybe not.

    Don't need nothin' but a good time
    How can I resist
    Ain't looking for nothin' but a good time
    And it don't get better than this

    I don't think I've ever danced in my life. I've got no intention of changing that.

    Dancing is easy, follow these simple steps

    Stand in the place where you live
    Now face north
    Think about direction
    Wonder why you haven't before

    Now stand in the place where you work
    Now face west
    Think about the place where you live
    Wonder why you haven't before

    If you are confused, check with the sun
    Carry a compass to help you along
    Your feet are going to be on the ground
    Your head is there to move you around

    Yep. Most every day. My way of putting the day behind me is to switch on The John Creedon show for a while, close the curtains and my eyes and shake off the world by making silly shapes and groovy moves. :) Pure pleasure. No metaphors here, just simple dancing. It's an INFJ thing.

    I love dancing. Classes alone..sometimes silly sometimes serious. It's my down time :-) It went for a reading and the woman told me it was good for my soul. It helps you get over anything. It's just for me.

    Please, let there be nobody watching.

    When nobody is around I go around my house talking like Christopher Walken and Jeff Goldblum.

    Haha! But wouldn't it be gas if YOU too lost the use of your limbs and couldn't get it up! That would be FUNNY! I really hope you do man. Just so you can see the funny side!

    Maybe just lose them altogether, like in a serious RTA. Double amputation. Gas! Please let us know if it ever happens, we can all laugh together. Haha!
