Yes, I definitely do. I have a playlist with 275 songs, hahaha. I have all of Taylor Swfits songs on there and a whole heap of other songs @Jynx.

So do I @Jynx
I lip-sync the songs and use my hands sometimes, but when not many people are around, haha. They might think I'm weird.

Yesss dance-stimming is so good. You know I used to feel the same about dancing in public @Birdofparadise8 but I learned to really not give two craps about whether other people think I'm weird. Because if I'm having fun, that is what matters the most. And the sort of people who think I'm weird and wouldn't wanna talk to me because I'm dancing, aren't the sort of people I would want talking to me. Plus, I'm never going to see 99% of the people I pass in the street ever again. So I let myself be me, be free, be a big ol weirdo. You should give it a try sometime!

I'm way too self-conscious @Jynx
I worry about what people think of me all the time. I really do wish I was like you, though in that way. You just make that make sense.

You can be! Just takes a bit of time, effort, and practice @Birdofparadise8. One of my fav Dr Seuss quotes sums it up: The ones who mind don't matter, and the ones who matter don't mind.
It's sort of about... doing the thing that scares you, and demonstrating to your nervous system that nothing bad will happen. Dancing in the street is a great way to practice 😉

haha @Jynx
What did you do today for dinner?
Are you doing anything exciting on the weekend?
I'm going to the footy to watch Carlton and have lunch with my aunt. This will be the first time they have been in the finals since 2013 so amazing.
