"Final Party"

I would like to report that I was the life of the party last night. Okay, not really, and I did leave at 12.30 am, practically as it really "started" but I did help start the party. 2 of my hallmates (one from Portugal and one from Israel) and I were the first 3 on the dance floor and we remained the first 3 for...mm...about 15 minutes? 20 minutes? Well, it was a while, and the crowd grew verrrrrry slowly (it felt like). Really, it wasn't slowly, it was just in incremental stages, but there were long pauses between each. By midnight it was stuffed. We totally started it. Just saying. Also, I think I may be a good influence because my friend from Israel said this is the first time she's ever danced without having anything to drink. ha! Look at that. For seriousness. Anyway, she said it was as much fun as she'd had dancing (or more?) and I think that's because when you know you can do it, and you know you can do it solely as you--not "enhanced" nor "buzzed" but purely as yourself in your own mind--you recognise your own power. When you find you can be uninhibited all by yourself and have a good time...that just makes the good time so much better.
