A lack of dancing will very likely result in me taking a two-month hiatus from this forum. Why? | ||

You said no to Kaygee's nice definition of dancing. Whatever this dancing involves, is music relevant? Do you move any parts of your body at all? Is it all virtual?

I'm trying to do a recap, please tell me if it's correct: You were at a yopishly school related event where nobody danced although they could have. You talked to three people and got to know about some kind of retreat. The retreat will start in May, take two months and take place in South Carolina. Because you're on the retreat you have to take a break from several activities, including the LTPF and other online activities. | ||

You leave the dance? Come to think of it, that's between the two somethings. It's even simpler than this. RE-RECAPPING EVENTS: -I go to the dance. -Nobody dances. ****something happens here**** -I am invited to go to Campus Outreach (where I heard about the retreat). -I go to Campus Outreach. -I find out about the retreat. -I decide to go, and sign up. So why was I able to go to CO in the first place? And why was the person able to invite me? Remember, I was enjoying it there even though there was no dancing. | ||

Did the organizers close the dance due to the fact that nobody danced? Yes! Well, almost, but only off by a hair, so **********SPOILER********** The order of events that Monday: -I go to a student-run Cookie Dance. -Nobody dances; everyone just sits around and talks. -The students running the dance decide to end it an hour early. -Another student invites me to Campus Outreach, starting in a few minutes. I accept. -I go to Campus Outreach and find out about this retreat. -That night, I sign up. So because nobody was dancing, the dance ended early, allowing me to go to CO and thereby sign up for the retreat. Excellent work, everyone. And I will note again: I will not have my computer while I'm down in SC, but I may be able to access a computer at times (though it will definitely not be as often). But we'll see how it all goes. | ||

It's from late May through late July. It's more of an outreach/discipleship retreat - I don't know all the details - although we do get to hang out as well. And hold a job. |
