Just one thing I remembered from tonight:
We were doing our senior suite practice for PCN and there's a part where I'm doing the hustle mixed in with some other stuff, and we were trying some steps out. For one part I had to do the typical partner dance thing--where the guy puts his right hand on the girl's waist and holds her right hand in the air with his left--and I got this deja-vu type of feeling... it was like back in 9th grade when we learn dance for PE and our teacher Mr Simms was on the original Soul Train or something. Being hella shy around girls, you get partnered up with random girls and sometimes you'd have to be holding their hands or putting your hands on their waist for the whole period. Of course I wanted to get paired up with the girl I liked in the class, but whoever it was, I still got the feeling of "Wow... this is nice." I don't know why, but I got that feeling today, even though I'm far less shy around girls and I feel comfortable dancing. Maybe it was because I felt that curve between the hipbone and the ribs that's so unmistakably feminine... and her hands were soft (but not clammy)... all those things that you can't really help but notice. All I could think of was "Wow, this is nice". I haven't felt that in forever, where it's a little unexpected, and you're not so much thinking about the girl you're dancing with (because I don't know her that well). You're almost reminded that hey, you're dancing with this girl.. pay attention!. Something just felt natural, and I felt younger all of a sudden. Wow.

I guess that's the kind of feeling you get when girls aren't on your mind all the time. That means my Lenten sacrifice of thinking about girls/relationships is working. Good stuff.
