new experiences

Yesterday I did a flashmob in the centre of Northampton.
I went on my won and didn't really talk to anyone whilst i was participating. We all had to do the thriller dance.
I am not a Michael Jackson fan.
I am not a dancer.
I am not an exhibitionist .
But I wanted to do it.
It was weird
Firstly there were loads of people there thanks to the story published in the local paper. I was quite excited as i thought that they were all going to take part as well. Turns out they weren't, just there to gawp and point mobile phones and to stop us from having any space in which to do our thing.
Lots of people who wanted to take part couldn't even get to the area where it was happening.
Not really a flashmob then.
But it was a strange experience, being part of something with people i didn't even know and having all these cameras and phones pointed at me...
I enjoyed it
Because it was a new experience
What can I do next?
