DA FU CHA CHA

I just saw a dance performance, originally intending to go support one of my friends. But I actually knew five dancers, the DJ, and the person who did the lights. It was a great experience, and for me, a unique one. I can't explain how I felt, but at one point the lights, music, and motion of the dance seemed to satiate my senses and I could no longer distinguish between them. It only lasted momentarily, but it was quite a feeling. Emiko, Sheyen, Joanne, Vincent, Johnson, and David - you all did great. I saw lots of my friends there in the audience, usually came in pairs. There were about 5 groups of people who I knew. I went with two of my friends. But when the show ended my companions went off to go study or meet someone else, so I was left to another pair of my friends. But because I didn't come with them I felt like I was on the outside, even though I knew them both (through taiko). We waited for Emiko to come out and talked with her for awhile, but then she started to talk to other dancers. Then we all sort of split up. When I was walking back with Mitsu, who then went to the Vet School, I started to feel... lonely, or sad. I don't know why. I had a really good time at the performance. Was it because afterwards I felt like I was bouncing around between groups of friends and as such, couldn't devote my attention to one of them so that I was always on the outside? There's this song, this feeling in my head that is indistinguishable, but it's remnants from the performance. It was ... I don't know how to explain it. But it's there... du fu cha cha.

Congrats Emiko, I'm glad I got to see your last big performance.
