My favourite sci-fi music!

Romance isn't boring! I'm a flowers and dancing sort of guy. Real dancing, not the stuff most of the kids do nowadays. Not that I actually know how to dance *cough*

But honest to goodness, I view myself as a romantic. Things should progress with time and feeling.

Also, people these days are far too liberal with their pants.

Yeah, I went there!

Meh. Emotionally investing yourself into something is difficult for me lately. Fandoms, people, the weather?(I don't know anymore). Blahhahla. But I'm sure I would agree with you if I was a better person.

Also, I feel like you'd really like this episode of my favo(u)rite podcast, You Made it Weird.

Wait, dancing? Like the Doctor dances?

Zip, you naughty, dancing is dancing!

And, also, fun!
(I just recently took up Contra Dancing...)

I'm deeply ashamed. *apologiesssssssssssss*

For the life of me, I can't figure out what contra dancing is from its Wikipedia article. Granted, it was early in the morning and I was looking at it through my mobile device, but still.
I suppose I could look it up on the Youtube video website, but then I'd miss out on you explaining why you decided to start doing it.

Erm, I haven't really done much dancing besides contra, so I'm not sure how well I'll actually describe it, but...

Contra dancing is somewhere between Square dancing and English dancing. Having only done square dancing once and never done English dancing (nor, apparently, being very confident about how types of dances should be capitalized...), I can say that the basic unit of contra dancing is a pair of people -- usually a male leading, female following, but increasingly not caring about gender. Contra is a... called dance? Dance with a caller?.. Dance-thingy, where there's a person who calls out what to do so people know what to do. Contra dances consist of a pattern a steps, repeated over and over again. Most of the steps are with just you, your partner, and another set of partners, but after going through the pattern once you've moved up (or down, depending on which way you're going) in the line (Contra dancing is in lines) and you and your partner go through the next going-through of the pattern with a new set of partners.

Also, there is a good amount of spinning and swinging and yes.

Suggesting for understanding what is Contra: Read through my confusing rant, be confused, watch some Youtube video of contra dancing (like this one, or something), read through my confusing rant again, be less confused, understand what I was trying to say.

My explaining why I decided to start it is rather boring, though. I did it over the summer with a group of people I was doing unrelated stuff with, and I liked it, and so I decided to do it more. Um. Yeah.
I suppose I liked it because (a) I liked the music, (b) at the beginning of each dance, nobody knew the dance, so it wasn't just me, and (c) spinning!
And even more than that, in addition to spinning, there are spinny-skirts! Which look so cool when they're spinning!

The entire Skyrim OST

Yeah, for the past few weeks I've been craving an adventure in Nirn... just another few weeks to go!

I'm excited about Hearthfire! Build your own house and adopt kids! The Dragonborn deserves family life too!

No gender stereotyping! I will give both my son and daughter a toy sword. No dolls! They must learn to be powerful Mini-Dovahkiins!

Laughter and fun in the Nord land of Skyrim,
Saving Tamriel with cool Dragon Rhymes!
Battling monsters while spreading good feeling,
Bad guys beware 'cause it's Dovahkid time!

I'm not a fan of rap, but sometimes there are exceptions. Particularly when those exceptions are based on my favourite video game!

Ah! I discovered an amazing singer on Youtube. Her voice is brilliant!

Check out this video, and also the rest of her channel. Amazing stuff!

That's pretty awesome.

by Nayaby Tue Jan 08, 2013 12:22 am

I suffer from voice envy :/ My friends tell me I'm a good singer, and I think I'm fairly decent myself, but I'm still restrained by my male voice. Women get the most beautiful songs. There are very good male songs I love singing, of course, but sometimes I just want to sing "Into the West" or some such. Singing songs like that in a low key... doesn't have the same effect.

by MozytheHealer Tue Jan 08, 2013 12:34 am

It definitely doesn't, sadly. I know how that feels. I've got a really low alto voice and a weird range, so I have to sing a lot of soprano-type songs an octave lower than it was written. Whenever there's a low harmony, though, I have started listening for that. It's much easier to sing for me(and on the rare occasion I'm actually in tune with the harmony and Areada's singing we sound fairly decent).
