helen99: A windswept tree against a starlit sky (Default)
[livejournal.com profile] helen99 = Le Suque at DDR. After about 5 practice attempts and watching a bunch of people fly through the steps with cat-like antigravity, the best foot-eye coordination I could achieve was a "C" on the easiest, ploddiest, most boring song of them all, designed for the foot-eye challenged (level .00001 or something). It was so slow that [livejournal.com profile] aekiy missed steps because it was too slow. I even got a D on the training mode. But that's not the real reason for this post...

Last night [livejournal.com profile] aekiy did DDR! The same [livejournal.com profile] aekiy who has never danced, never done DDR, was on crutches due to Lyme disease at WtT7, and hasn't really had any exercise since the onset of the Lyme several years ago, did DDR, for a long time, at levels 2 and 3, and got Bs! Maybe I'm being optimistic, but I am hoping we have the Lyme on the run, permanently.

Thanks go to [livejournal.com profile] lyssabard and [livejournal.com profile] tlttlotd for an excellent party, and to [livejournal.com profile] rangermorgiah for beautiful dance. There was an altar for the dead outside on the balcony, and [livejournal.com profile] kyoudai02 had brought "Ghost Money", which is from a Buddhist custom wherein you burn some fake money so the dead can use it in the afterlife... I lit a candle for the City of New Orleans, and burnt the city some Ghost Money. I was dressed as the Spirit of New Orleans, with a big floopy french-looking cap and a lot of Mardi Gras beads... It felt right to honor the City last night.
