Texas or bust, I suppose; probably bust.

Since I'm just sitting around, waiting for Mom to get back with the paychecks (money, yay) I figured I'd use the time to tell you all (y'all?) about my New Goal.

Some people want to learn how to white-water raft, or crochet an afghan, or whatever. Not me, man, I'm going to learn how to curtsey.

I mean, I know how to curtsey, at least European way. (If anyone wants to know how to do a Full Court Curtsey, come see me.) But there's this thing I read about a few years ago- the "Texas Dip"- which is supposedly so elaborate that half the people (debutantes) who need to perform it can't without falling over. So I'm like, oh yeah, that's right up my alley.

So that's my goal. However, I'm having a hard time even finding a picture of it. I'll go look it up in the library later. There's supposed to be a book with a how-to guide in it.

I hope I find it. I really don't feel like taking a side trip to Texas.

A curtsey: Place your left behind your right foot and bend slightl;y at the knees. You can either place it the bottom of your foot meating with the ground, or have the top part meat with it instead (this gives it more of a curved look) Slight bow of head is optional but does give it more of a regal effect. (At least this is what I read in my copy of The Princess Diaries: A guide to being a princess{or some title along those lines})

for the love of all that is good and not backwards, please stay outta Texas. Although I do know two good folks from there, I can't vouch for the rest of the state.
