I just want to vent a little bit more about that stupid sock hop that I mentioned.
I think that a lot of people enjoyed themselves, but that was because they were doing lame-o dancing. You know, just shaking it around. Now I understand that not everybody knows how to dance, and that not everyone has a lot of skill. Still, it disappointed me that most people didn't even try to do anything interesting. Honestly, it doesn't take a lot of skill. At least try to be creative and so something that's different from just shaking and wiggling around.
I've seen someone refer to a move called the "cracker squirm." That's how most people I've seen tend to dance. It's not a pretty sight.
