dancing

I went out tonight. To the Halloween mixer, which wasn't very... mixy. My feet hurt. My body hurts. I feel like I only just escaped in time before the panic set in. It was okay, some of the time, dancing with PEGs and stuff, but then I just... too much. Too bright. Too loud. Too... social.

I tried, you know. I let go. I just was. I danced. I let my body move. I tried not to think, just to be.

Fuck that.

Got whistled at by townies, too. EW. Am all creeped out. I looked hot tonight. I know it. I got flirted with by the random boy who was at lunch the other day. I'm a girl. I'm female. It's so weird. I'm in this tight little black dress, not slutty--okay, a little slutty, but tasteful. I wear it to church on Christmas Eve. But still. I looked good. I, who live in khakis and a t-shirt.

It's so weird.

And you know what? All I wanted was to be back here. Because as much fun as the friend people are, they aren't...

We have our mixers in the SAC. The Nuthouse is now downstairs in Hunt; they moved it just this year.

I think PEG mixers still happen in the Pub, though.

It's in Hunt? Is it in Hunt Gallery or in the room on the left where they used to have Senate? It's too bad they moved it... I really liked the atmosphere in the back of the SAC. Of course, it was too far from the center of campus for anyone to venture out there, so that was probably a good idea.

"We" = ?

Yes, it's in Hunt, in the room on the left when you enter.

Um... we=people going to Baldwin now? I've been to a grand total of one of them.

Oh, I get it.
I rarely went to the trad mixers... you got hit on by VMIs and the music is terrible. PEG mixers were marginally better, as I recall: it was easy to fight off the advances of the Burnies and you got the chance to hit on other PEGs, or at least dance with them. :) (Of course, that defeats the purpose of the word "mixer"... I never really "mixed".) And we never had DJs or crappy bands: the music consisted of CDs from people's private collections, so it was the same stuff that was playing in the dorms all the time: Sublime, Reel Big Fish, some angsty girl music...
