Did someone say dance?
Anyone that knows me well knows that I can't dance. I hate dancing. I'd rather go to the dentist than dance. But today I, self-proclaimed dance-hater, invented a dance. A quite remarkable dance I might add. I like to call it my "Avoid stepping on the snake while still watching the sharks" dance. It's quite a simple dance really. It involves two (smallish) sharks feeding on fish along a breakwall, one facinated girl (in this case, me) walking along said breakwall, and one Mexican king snake, sunning himself on the same breakwall. The first movement of the dance is really nothing more than a concentrated stare toward the moving sharks and a slow ambling walk as the perfomer tries to keep up with them. It is important to NOT FOCUS on where the performer is walking however. At this moment, the snake enters the dance and things get a little more complicated. The facinated girl (again, in this case, me) jumps violently sideways on one leg (furthest from the snake) while shaking the other leg (closest to the snake). I assume this is to not step on the snake and further incite him to flee for his little life (which he was doing quite fine on his own), but I'm still not sure. The other key ingredient for successful is a look of surprised horror then embarrassed relief (both that the snake was not trod upon and that there were no witnesses to view the dance) This is probably the most difficult part of the dance to master, but I'm sure with practice it can be achieved. I highly reccommend that you all start practicing this dance as soon as you can...I predict that it will become extremely popular once it catches on...
