Is it a prenatal gift that of dancing? it just seems that some people have it and some people dont
As some people will know and some people wont, Friday the 2nd of September 2005 saw the first of my cousins be wedded. It was a nice little ceremony with a mad vicar, as u do in these methodist places (the bride is a methodist). Then came the reception, it was at a beautiful setting somewhere north of Worthing but still I was rather bored, not drinking any alcohol... im not quite sure why that was the case but it was. So I was glad when time was called for food.
This is when the party kicked into action, I did not mention before the fact that my cousin is a fully fledged member of the magic circle and thus many magician friends were there including Fay Presto who is a transexual, quite adult ordinated performer who is meant to be one of the best table magicians in Britain. 'She' was not only very funny but also completely astounded me with one of her tricks, as shes a table magician it very personal. When watching shows on tv im always very sceptical, but this was right in front of me and amazing.
I was told to shuffle an imaginary pack of cards, i was quite sarcastic about the whole thing and then she said turn over the card and look at it, now put it back in the imaginary pack, shuffle some more then give it back 2 me. Then she took a real pack of cards out her pocket and asked me wot card i was thinkin of, it was the 3 of clubs and she said 'oh really cant u say sommat else 2 make me look better' and i of course said no. But then she says ok then, takes the pack of cards out of its case and which is the only card facing up... the 3 of clubs and then she turns it over and it the only card with a different colour back to the rest.... I was spooked to be honest, I never really believed that stuff really happened, cant c any way it was possible, freaky.
A nice enough dinner followed, then the speaches and then the reason for my blog....
Although I had not been drinking, my cousin offered and so I thought it rude to refuse it, but he had already had significantly more than this and so after the bride and grooms 1st dance he was trying to make me do some dancing, me being a shy, self-concious twat didnt really want to whereas he just went for it. The thing is he is an awful dancer, yet is willing to do it knowing no one around cares how stupid he looks whereas i care what a load of people who i dont really know think about me...
Then he decided to try and get a few beers down me to try and loosen me up and also throwing in the line, 'you have to dance, girls go for guys who dance no matter how bad they are' he also compared the motion of dancing with another motion.. i think you get where im going. But anyway to my point, i did end up attempting to dance after a few pints but wasnt quite drunk enough to keep it going 4 more then a couple mins at a time b4 taking at least a songs break, and I am shit at dancing also :(. But another one of my many, many cousins is a superbly, amazing dancer, he has all the moves and puts them in time with the music pure genius. But I really need to know am i just doomed to be a bad dancer or is it something you just pick up...
(PS despite the lack of Proclaimers songs, I did break out into my only major dance to the Spice Girls, I cant remember which song now, but it was great)
