Vestrit Posted October 22, 2007 Share Posted October 22, 2007 Oh, yes. I have told them. I also added that the scary internet people have an unnatural interest in furries and possibly the ability to drink Edinburgh dry. After some intense googling, I can say that this Ceildh (Céilidh?) thingy sounds interesting. But only as long as the dancing in no way includes me. I'll ask the others what they think.. As for me. I can pretend that I have no free will, you can drag me along to do just about anything. Except dancing. The first rule of ceilidhs: most people there have no idea what they’re doing. So if you don’t know the dances, don’t worry, nobody else does either The second rule of ceilidhs – the few people at a ceilidh who do know what they’re doing just want to jump around anyway and will help anybody who’s unsure The third rule of ceilidhs – the more people who don’t know what they’re doing, the more fun the ceilidh because it becomes a complete car crash The fourth rule of ceilidhs – everybody’s drunk anyway so no-one cares The fifth rule of ceilidhs – you’re only there to chuck other people across the room in the first place. Last time we managed to throw Flip out of the room. This time let’s see if we can get Mo airborne… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mormont Posted October 22, 2007 Share Posted October 22, 2007 Uh, where am I staying? I need to focus on this meeting, it is known I don't think you were one of the five I counted for the hostel... that was me, tomfoster, Ser Mel, Isis, and Pod. I can add you to the booking if you like, though I thought you were staying with ten. On the other hand, the hostel is always fun. Anubiel: you're going to wind up dancing, you know. Best to just accept it and come to terms with it now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tenalpia Posted October 22, 2007 Share Posted October 22, 2007 Uh, where am I staying? I need to focus on this meeting, it is known you're welcome to space at mine - otherwise there will be a group hostel booking that you can take part in Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anubiel Posted October 22, 2007 Author Share Posted October 22, 2007 Anubiel: you're going to wind up dancing, you know. Best to just accept it and come to terms with it now. I feel pressurized into dancing now... must...resist... a wise attitude to take! I consider Ceilidh dancing to be one of the most dangerous activities ever invented! SEE???? I like this guy. Oh, and the friends have mumbled something which I interpreted as "Yes, master, we will agree to anything you arrange for us" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zakalwe7 Posted October 22, 2007 Share Posted October 22, 2007 Honestly ceildh dancing is great fun. Even needle likes it, and she loathes all other dancing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anubiel Posted October 22, 2007 Author Share Posted October 22, 2007 We could sell their souls in exchange for beer? And I have been blackmailed into dancing... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zakalwe7 Posted October 22, 2007 Share Posted October 22, 2007 It will be fun. Honestly, everyone is nervous and then takes too long plucking up their courage for the first dance. Then once you start dancing and want more, it's suddenly the last dance and that's it Always happens to me when at dances. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anubiel Posted October 22, 2007 Author Share Posted October 22, 2007 I have a feeling there's some sort of conspiracy going on to make the n00b dance. You have to make me really, truly drunk first. And, sadly, somehow I don't think that will be a problem.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Isis Posted October 23, 2007 Share Posted October 23, 2007 Prod could well be up for this. He must be pestered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And, sadly, somehow I don't think that will be a problem.. No conspiracy, and you won't be the only one there who hasn't done country dancing. In fact the non-experienced may outnumber those who have done it, so no pressure. I've just seen soooo many people go to Ceildhs and say they don't want to dance and make a fuss about it. Then end up dancing later on and surprisingly really enjoying it. Best thing is just to go along and see if it looks fun. If it does then join in!

mormont Posted October 23, 2007 Share Posted October 23, 2007 Zak: it's OK. She gave in already. ps I have been to many ceilidhs, and I'm still crap. I never remember the steps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ser Sean Posted October 23, 2007 Share Posted October 23, 2007 Watch out for Vestrit during the Ceildh. He's enthusiastic to the point where the untrained eye could easily mistake him for a raving lunatic, foaming at the mouth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slick Mongoose Posted October 23, 2007 Share Posted October 23, 2007 Hey, Mormont, is there any chance you could put me down for the hostel on Friday and Saturday nights? This sounds like too much fun to miss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This sounds like too much fun to miss. Yay! Will do so asap: but first, any more for any more? For clarity, people who have a bed atm: Me Ser Mel Isis Pod tomfoster (now about to add) Slick. Mo, have you decided yet if you're in too? The only other definite is Derfel: anybody know if he needs a bed too? And LE, you're only 'possible' right now, yes?
