It was 8th Grade...

And my friend Jennifer and I went to the movie theater to see some movie called Dirty Dancing. We were very excited because we were allowed to go in the first place...the word "dirty" was in the title! I also was super nervous because this boy I liked was there - Larry Dasher - and I was very worried about the whole "first kiss" thing. I didn't get kissed that night but boy did I fall in love...with Patrick Swayze. Did we all not want to be Jennifer Grey for just a little while??? Go off to summer camp in the Catskills?? Buy a few more pairs of Keds? I still know that soundtrack by heart; I have the songs in my head right now.

And don't even get me started on Ghost - I still cry my eyes out every time I see it.

I usually don't comment much when a celebrity passes away. But Patrick Swayze - I don't know - it's just so sad. And he could sure dance. Hopefully he is dancing again right now.

Kevin Bacon better stay healthy; I don't want to cry when I watch Footloose for the 1000th time, like I will next time I see Dirty Dancing. It's on about once a week on cable.
