Scudding

The title comes from the fact that the word "scud" is actually used in the Iliad.  Of course, I can't see that word without thinking of either Zexion (aka Captain Scud, as he's the only member of Organization XIII who can't levitate, only scud very quickly across the ground) or someone rapidly sliding across a linoleum floor on their socks or slick shoes, preferably with a squeegee.  Which apparently was really, really funny to a couple of people I was talking to in the library.

I've also continued taking those ballroom dancing classes, and today's class (swing) actually went surprisingly well.  This was the first one all week that I actually got the hang of pretty quickly, and I always managed to find someone to dance with (I even managed to actually ask girls to dance this time! no freaking out and freezing up!) and actually danced so much (and so quickly, at times) that I was more worn-out by the end of the class than I usually am after my volleyball class, or after a short walk.  Apparently there's going to be another one tomorrow at 3:00 or so, and for once I'm actually looking forward to it rather than kind of dreading it and wondering if I'll actually be able to keep up at all.  Even though I won't actually have a date for the dance tomorrow (...unless I ask someone at the last minute, which supposedly is okay for something like a dance according to someone I was talking to earlier), I'm still kind of looking forward to the dance itself, too... though I'm still worried about the overall weirdness of it.  I'll probably go, though... it's not like I'd have anything else to do if I didn't go, after all.

And now I have a tie, I guess.  One mysteriously appeared in my room at some point during the time I was away from it (between 8:30-ish and midnight), and whoever put it there left behind no indication as to where it came from or why it was sitting on my keyboard.  I guess it's possible that Rachael somehow had one delivered to my room, since she did say that she'd try to get me one before the dance when I was talking to her shortly before I asked her to go with me... but again, there wasn't a note left behind saying where it came from or how it got into my room or anything.  Just a tie sitting there on top of my keyboard when I came in.  Weird.
