Can I have this dance, please? · 11:19am Oct 16th, 2016
This song, people...it reminds me so much of my prom night when I was eighteen. I had several crushes on some pretty girls, but my damn shyness prevented me from ever asking any of them out. I remember sitting in the corner watching all the girl and boys dancing with each other, even my friends. I can just about remember how the light shone off their pretty dresses, their bits of jewelry, and their eyes. I recall pretending I was in the place of the boys they were with, and imagining what it was like to be dancing with somebody you had a crush on for a year. Then those thoughts were pushed aside as I came to the conclusion that, perhaps, they were better off with those guys. They looked so happy that night. Maybe it was for the best.
It should have been an awful night for me, being alone, but I remember calling my parents to come and pick me up, and when they arrived my mom had this homemade Prom King crown for me. It was silly, yeah...but it was so damn sweet of her. God bless my mom every day and after.
And now, skipping a few years forward, I'm here. I have reached 1,000 subs on YouTube, I'm making new friends on this site, and my artwork on DeviantArt is slowly getting a bit more recognition. One really big night long ago, I was in a corner dancing on my own. Today I want to ask you all to step out on the dance floor and join me this time.
You, yes you the one reading this blog post, you make me feel 'unique', special. Your support and tolerating my crap means a lot to me, even if I don't show it often, or do so in strange and questionable ways. So, ladies and gentlemen...
...can I have this dance, please?
Sincerely,

When I was at a school dance, one with 300 people because it was for eighth grade students, which I was at the time, I was paralyzed. It was not something where we had to ask people out, it was just a dance type thing at the end of middle school, but I couldn't dance. I mean, I can dance, though I prefer graceful, smooth, more gliding dances to that jumping shite that people seem to think is dance, but I have a crippling fear of social interaction. It's gotten better, as I can now speak in front of a classroom every so often, but it used to make me not be able to speak if multiple people were looking at me. In my Public Speech and Debate class in seventh grade, I had to drop out, something that normally doesn't happen there, due to how the very first speech there, which was pretty much just an introduction, was something that I was actually incapable of doing. I completely wrote it out, but when I stood up and understood that they were all paying attention, I froze. A year or so later, in my English Class, I had a presentation to give. I got up in front, and froze. When the teacher started to ask if I should present later, I finally managed to start speaking. I was the last to go on that day. I took up a rather large chink of time. In the dance, it lasted about 2 hours, and there were some people trying to convince me to dance, even a few that made me walk over there, but I would always drift to the side. I mostly just ate and drank soda. I only started dancing at the very end when I finally overcame my fear of other humans.
And if you're fine with dancing with an clumsy, weak, slightly chubby but not in an actually noticeable way, teenage boy that has Horrid self-esteem and longer than normal hair, then alright. We shall dance.
We, your followers, have been dancing with you for a while, my friend! But sure, I'll have a turn around the floor with you!

Just to make everyone clear, when I asked you all for a dance, I didn't mean you'd have to throw your arms around me and do the tango to some romance song. I mean, if it helps you in any way I'll put my manliness aside to help out, but otherwise you can dance individually or with each other. It's up to you guys. Just, you know...have a good time.
Cause' I got a feeling...that tonight's gonna be a good night...cause' I finally beat a hard Angry Birds level...got that three star rating so scrw you game, oh yeah, I got a feeling...that I haven't got the lyrics right...something something something good night...blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah, buy the album! Hoooo-woooooo!
4258391 I beat a Sortie in Warframe for the first time! It only took about 160 hours of game play to get to that point. It's large content, endgame, and it took me until now to do it. Well, it's actually just 3 real hard missions, but still. And I got the barrels for the Wraith Twin Vipers.
And I know it isn't an actual dance. I just hate myself, so I said a bunch of stuff to show that.
Kind of stupid that way, I am.
Shameless link to Warframe which if you follow, sign up, play, and beat 10 missions in it would help me and I'm so sorry for doing this so I guess it isn't shameless here.
