My roommate made an observation today on the traditional Nazarene rule of no dancing. "I think that Nazarenes--or not just Nazarenes, a lot of people--knew that dancing leads to feelings, and that it can lead to more, and so they just made a general rule of no dancing to prevent bad situations from coming up."

I grew up Nazarene, thank you, I felt like saying, I already know this.

::sigh:: I was being difficult. I miss my roommate who just let me be difficult and didn't pounce on it.

I'm going to coffee with Ryan today to talk and catch up. We didn't get to chat much last week at lunch when that guy came and sat with us. He kind of took over the conversation. Kept picking up on his own spiel when Ryan would ask me questions. Rude, yes, but he was one of those awkward computer geeks who doesn't know any better. :P I'm a computer geek and awkward at times, but at least I am polite.

I am obviously in a very negative mood today.

I'm a bit nervous about coffee. Not too bad, 'cause I know he just wants to catch up, and I do, too... But a tad nervous, nonetheless.

NYC (Nazarene Youth Conference) is coming up this summer. NYC only comes every four years, and the last one was when I was a junior in high school. That makes me feel so old.

I have had this song stuck in my head for, like, three days straight now:

The best things happen while you're dancing
Things that you would not do at home come naturally on the floor
For dancing soon becomes romancing
When you hold a girl in your arms that you've never held before
Even guys with two left feet
Come out all right if the girl is sweet
If by chance their cheeks should meet while dancing
Proving that the best things happen while you dance

That's why my roommate's and my conversation came up about dancing, by the way. I sang it out loud and it got us to talking about it.

Ugh. I still feel like picking a fight with her. I am really cranky today. I need a sign for my cranky days: Do Not Feed The Bear.

I have a headache. I'm going to take a short nap.
