Dancing through Life

"Dancing Through Life"
Fiyero:
The trouble with schools is
They always try to teach the wrong
lesson
Believe me, i've been kicked out
Of enough of them to know
They want you to become less callow
Less shallow
But I say: "Why invite stress in?"
Stop studying strife
And learn to life "The Unexamined Life"

Dancing through life
Skimming the surface
Gliding where turf is smooth
Life's more painless
For the brainless
Why think too hard?
When it's so soothing
Dancing through life
No need to tough it
When you can sluff it off as I do
Nothing matters
But knowing nothing matters
It's just life
So keep dancing through...

Dancing through life
Swaying and sweeping
And always keeping cool
Life is fraughtless
When you're thoughtless
Those who don't try
Never look foolish
Dancing through life
Mindless and careless
Make sure your whereless
Trouble is rife
Woes are fleeting
Blows are glancing
When you're dancing
Through life...
(Spoken)
So-whats the most swankified place in town?

Galinda:
(Spoken)
That would be the Ozdust Ballroom

Fiyero:
(Spoken)
Sounds perfect!!!
(Sung)
Let's go down to the Ozdust Ballroom
We'll meet there later tonight
We can dance till it lights
Find the prettiest girl...
Give her a whirl
Right on down to the Ozdust Ballroom
Come on, follow me
You'll be happy to be there...

All:
Dancing through life
Down at the Ozdust...

Fiyero:
If only because dust is what we come to...

All:
Nothing matters
But knowing nothing matters

Fiyero:
It's just..

All and Fiyero:
Life

Fiyero:
So keep dancing through...


--From the Broadway musical Wicked

So...

Tango.

Went well.

Both of us had fun.

We stayed hanging out late.

I don't know why I was so scared.

...although, now I've got about a dozen people after me to date him.

And the thing is...I don't know if I have a crush on him. I like him as a person, love him as I love all of my friends, but have a crush on him? Now that's something I'm not sure of.

And I don't want to lead anyone on or hurt anyone. One of my other guy friends said that my friend's body language was reading like that of a boy with a crush on the girl sitting next to him - IE, me.

I don't know anything more than he's coming to tango again next week. And I'm a damn idiot.

About Me

I'm just an average 19 year-old girl from California, trying to figure out my place in the world. Madness and mayhem prevail in my existence as I navigate university life and try to figure out just what I want from myself. It's an interesting adventure. Want to know anything about me, just ask.

The Devil's Rose

Because I'm always curious where people get their screennames from, here's why mine's 'devils-rose': one of my favorite songs is called "Rose in the Devil's Garden" by Tiger Army. That's the main reason, that and my life can be quite hellish. So it just kind of worked for me.

The Least You Need to Know

I am: crazy; nineteen; female; random; deeply loyal to my friends; always looking to make more friends; something of a warrior, when the situation calls for it; good in emergencies; until they're over; temperamental; creative, artistic, and social; escaping an emotionally abusive childhood; determined to move to Europe; in a major university; studying Linguistics, Japanese, German, and Spanish; and...I don't know, lots of things. :D

Likes/Dislikes

I like: music, concerts, road trips, food, friendship, laughter, frolicking, walking in nature, writing novels and short stories, reading fiction - mostly fantasy, dancing in the rain, late nights, sleeping in, thunderstorms, ogling cute boys, playing at being a pirate, outrunning time, feeling infinite.
~*~
I dislike: homework, waking up early, hot weather, people with no sense of humor, boredom, depression, being at home with my family.
