Dance

I watched Shall We Dance tonight, with Richard Gere. Apparently, Luther owns the Japanese version, but someone has it checked out until October 4th. Lame. Everytime I see this movie, it just makes me both want to dance more, and love Richard Gere more. I'm really not gay. I just think he's a great actor. And a good dancer. I resolved tonight (before I watched the movie), that next summer, I want to take ballroom dance lessons. Like, lessons where I learn from a real dance instructor. I think it'd be a lot of fun. I really want to learn to waltz and tango. I don't know what else to say. I had an uneventful day. Ate breakfast with dad, did homework, practiced the trombone and piano, ate, went to Wal-Mart, came back, worked on a history paper, went to mock trial, watched the movie. I purchased the film As Good As It Gets for $7 at Wal-Mart. I don't know if any of you have seen it, but I highly recommend it. It's with Jack Nicholson, and it's awesome. It's very thoughtful, touching, funny, etc, etc, etc. So, what else, I played a jazz thing last night. It went well. Not nearly as well as the Jazz Orchestra, but that was to be expected. I got to dance for a bit, so that was fun. Emily was there, and I always enjoy her presence. I gazed longingly and wistfully at Kathleen from across the cafet for a couple seconds. Not in a creepy way, I don't think. Sort of like how Richard always gazes at Jennifer Lopez in the window from the train. I know, I know, but that's the movie that's freshest in my memory. I'd say when Han Solo gazes at Princess Leia before being lowered into the carbonite freezing chamber, but that was a two way sustained gaze. I got Kathleen's screen name off this facebook thing, but I have made a vow not to use it. Any sort of friendship/relationship that begins on the internet in that fashion, when it would be feasible to just talk to the individual in person is just ridiculous. I will not fall into that trap. I want to know that girl, so badly. Yeah, remember how I said I wanted to lose weight? I'm definitely not holding up to my program too well so far. It's not like I'm gaining weight, I'm just not living up to my standards. It's going to be a busy couple weeks here at Luther, I can sense it. Which could be good or bad, I suppose. I just hope I can stay on top of everything. Eh, rarg. The other day, a friend of mine got into a religious debate with me. And I don't know, I felt very uncomfortable, because I didn't feel as if my views were being respected at all. It was very pressuring, and this individual did not want to hear what I had to say. And that was unfair, because I felt I was listening to his ideas with a very open mind, and not getting the same in return. I really don't know how to approach this subject with this guy, because it's a very close friend of mine. But, I don't need to have my religious beliefs disrespected, assaulted, and just generally trod upon in that manner. I don't judge his. I'm tired. I'm going to bed.
