What's all this?

I don't know how well this will work, but I do know one thing: I'm fairly certain this will be some of the most fun I've ever had.

I've recently had a less-than-stellar past couple of months, which all finally culminated into a big ol' heap of heartbreak.

I won't get into it, but let's just say that after it happened, I discovered what exactly I smell like after 3 days of wearing the same pajamas and not putting on any deodorant.

Pretty gross, I know.  But hey, we all have our methods of coping with things, right?  Right.  And actually, that's precisely what inspired me to start this endeavor.

When I realized that sitting around being gloomy and lazy only truly resulted in me stinking to high heaven and missing out on finding ways to be happy, I kicked myself into gear (and in my ass), and decided I needed to change something.

So that night, I got dolled up for a party.  As I walked around with my hair wrapped up with a fresh shellac of hair dye, a fun song came on my Pandora station.  I can't remember what it was or even how it went, but I know that it was so upbeat that I stopped what I was doing---looking for a nice pair of undies that wouldn't cause a visible panty-line actually---and just started dancing.

Right there, in my room, a towel wrapped around my head...I started dancing around like a complete idiot.  And it made me feel BETTER.

Later on that night at the party, after it was nearly time to go (3:30 am, I think), and nobody but me and a close friend were left on the "dance floor" I gained control of the iPod we were listening to and played this gem (It was a Christmas party, by the way...):



Once again, I started bopping around like a fool without a care in the world, feeling like the best version of myself.  The version of myself that just doesn't give a fuck.  The happy-go-lucky woman I am.  Free and uninhibited by bad mojo or tough times.  Dancing...like nobody's watching.

My friend joined in with me, and the two of us hopped and twisted and twirled while everyone around us carried on with their own business.

After I left, the idea for Like Nobody's Watching was born.

So what is that idea, exactly?

You'll see shortly, but I'll just say it involves a lot of dancing and a lot of not caring if anyone around me sees it.

And hopefully, eventually...it won't be limited to just me.

Let's do this.
