I have never danced in my life; I've wanted to dance as long as I can remember but I was too timid. I joined a dance studio a few months ago and have been dancing on Mondays and Wednesdays. I am learning the Waltz, Rumba, 2-Step, Cha Cha, Salsa, and Swing. At work one of my friends goes Salsa dancing at a dance center in LA on Saturdays and invited me to go. I went today and liked it so much that I am going to start going regularly. I am also joining up with my sister at dancing lessons that her work is going to start teaching in May and will be dancing there on Tuesdays. Dancing is so much fun and I am starting to lose my shyness about dancing in public. My favorite part of dancing is being held close by your partner. I cannot believe I was too afraid to do this before. I do not know when I will start dating again but dancing will be a requirement * LOL* of the next person I am with. I have been told that the best way to meet someone who will be compatible with me is to do the things that I like to do and that one day I will meet someone through those activities.

High School Reunion
I just learned that Narbonne High is having it's 30th High School Reunion in July of 2009 at the Crowne Plaza Hotel in Redondo Beach. I am planning on going. I had this crush on a classmate at Fleming Jr High all through 7th to 9th grade, his name was Steve. One day I was determined to talk to him and I was looking for an opening, we sat right next to each other in class. Just when I was going to ask him a question MY FATHER walks in my classroom and pulls me out. I was so embarrassed and alot of the kids in class laughed at me, I never worked up the courage to try to talk to him again.
His brother sent me an email on Classmates.com saying that Steve was planning on going to the reunion. I am so curious to see what he looks like. I am sure he is successful because I remember in class him talking about his future career goals and he sounded like he had a lot of plans. I never spoke to Steve the whole 3 years of Junior High, but my sister Tina was friends with him. On graduation day, Steve was standing in a group with 3 other boys, they were the most popular boys in school. Later on that summer one of them, Pat, drowned up in Palos Verdes. I asked Tina to ask them if they would take a picture with me, and they said yes. So I took a picture with each of them separately, Steve, Pat, Bob and I can't remember the 4th one. And none of us said a word to each other, just took the pictures. (Sidenote: It was that summer between 9th and 10th grade that I first met my future husband David. I was 15 and he was 21 and engaged to be married.) I used to take out those pictures and pretend they were my boyfriends. Oh it's so very painful to be so shy.
When I first started seeing David, I took those pictures over his house. He was pretty mad about them, I don't know why because they were a long time before we were together. I left them on the coffee table and when I woke up in the morning he was sitting on the couch with a big grin on his face, and I was like What?? and then I looked down and my pictures were torn up in little pieces. He said that'll teach you to bring pictures like that around me. I got the last laugh because I had 2 copies of those pictures. I don't really remember too many other people from High School though. My best friend from High School, Dorothy just recently got back in touch with me and she now lives in Kansas, I was like WTF are you doing in Kansas? It'll be fun to go and see if I remember any more people though.
