Grab Yer Pardner

Today is Square Dance Day! A pretty self explanatory day, if you ask me. Grab a partner and do some square dancing. If you know how, that is. If not, then maybe take a class on it today? Luckily for me, I'm extremely well versed in the knowledge of a respectable amount of dancing techniques, and among those techniques is square dancing. It is, however, just knowledge at the end of the day. With very little practice, I can make no claim to being good at it. But gosh dernit if I didn't try my best. At least you won't look that weird doing it, since you need a partner to do it most of the time. When more than one person does something odd, it becomes less odd. Which is basically the history of square dancing right there.

A Head of the Game

Today is Make Your Own Head Day! There are many crafty ways to make your own head, but having none of the supplies for sculpting, molding, or even drawing, I went with a method I found on the internet! As an added bonus, you can do it, too! So have fun creating your own abstracted version of yourself today. I'm thinking far too much with my right brain today, so it didn't come out as abstract or colorful as it could have been, but it is, at least, existent.

Point Made

Today is Pins and Needles Day! I bet you were on pins and needles wondering if I was going to update today. That was totally part of my plan and it definitely isn't because I got super distracted by random things. HISTORY TIME!

Pins and Needles Day is a holiday originally meant to celebrate the opening date of the late 1930's Broadway show Pins and Needles. It was a show written in and about the Pro-Labor movement, which you know all about from history because you were a good student and payed attention. It was written by good ol' Harold Rome* and performed by the members of the I.L.G.W.U. (International Ladies Garment Workers Union). It had 1,108 performances! That's more than a lot of other ones, but not so much anymore. It held the record for a while, though! Plus, it got a holiday named after it, so... I mean that's cool.

Today, however, people mostly celebrate today by either being on pins and needles or putting others on them. Not literally, I would hope, but... y'know. Fictionally... I guess.

Being on pins and needles is usually fun. It's the kind of stressed that gets you moving or excited without feeling anything like stress. Putting people on pins and needles is even MORE fun because it's fun to see them get excited. Doing it to someone is also one of the easiest things in the world to do, too! Wanna know how? Tune in tomorrow.
