"She's in love, and the world gets blurry
She makes mistakes, and she's in no hurry to grow up
'Cause grownups, they don't understand her
Well it's a big, big world out there, but she's not scared...
She finds hope in the strangest places
She reads her books, and she knows the faces
Of everyone that ever said she's alone
She knows every word to the saddest songs
And she sings along, though her friends all tell her
That she can't sing...
She's eighteen, much too young
To know what a kiss like that would mean
But her lips, they were no stranger to the touch
And she likes it way too much."

Dancing vs. Prancing

Like most five-year-old girls, I like to skip.

Except I'm seventeen.

But I really do skip. I run through the house instead of walking. I dash up the stairs [two at a time!] and dart and prance my way through the halls. It's so much more fun than just forcing myself to go from point A to point B. If makes my life more exciting.

Well, at work, I've tried to control my prancing, just to seem professional. But now that I've gotten to know almost everyone and they all know I'm not a silly ninny, I feel entirely comfortable whistling and humming and skipping about. I love to twirl and spin, too, but I try to avoid that at work, because I usually run into something whenever I try it...

There are also times when prancing just isn't enough. I get a song stuck in my head, and the beat quite literally takes over. The result is dancing, sometimes singing, too. I don't dance or sing at work [don't want to frighten my employers] but when I'm at home I dance all over the place and sing at the top of my lungs. I prefer the house to be empty, but if my mother and brother are home, it usually doesn't bother me.

Do I sing well? Eh, not really. Not at all, actually. I can beat the "easy" level on those singing video games and such, but then again, who can't? [100% on Dead On Arrival, ladies and gentlemen. Be jealous.] Do I dance well? Definitely not. My rhythm is decent but I just can't dance.

And does that bother me in any way?

Nope. :D
