I questioned the appropriateness of the dancing at a <em>WEDDING</em>. With married uncles ogling the half-naked ladies and aunties covering their kids' eyes. Yes, I see girls dressed in far less, but that doesn't justify this at a wedding. Appropriateness is based on location and audience, and this was not the right place in front of the right people. 2) I didn't base my shame off of anyone elses. I, <strong>personally</strong>, felt like it was inappropriate, regardless of what others thought of this spectacle. "Be your own person." What contrived bullshit. 3) It's the internet, big whoop if family sees it. You talk about individuality: do I give a shit about what you think if you're related to me? Listen to my thoughts uncensored regardless of what my family would think if they read this. If I felt like it was a shameful act, you're darn right I'm going to say it. Plus, it's on the blog that practically no one reads and that hasn't been touched in half a year. I've realized what you put on the internet stays there forever. Maybe you should realize it's just the internet. SMART. Okay, I just need to address a few things:

Its nothing disrespectful, and you see girls dressed in far less otherwise. Its just a cultural thing so maybe you should get over your "shame" and just support your uncle. please dont be one of those girls who finds things like that embarassing, its pathetic on your part and just makes you seem like you have no individual thoughts or personality. Stop succumbing to how you think you should act, and just be your own person. also, maybe you should realize that EVERYONE can see this. So I could be related to you.

That has to suck, the most I've had in a bed was 3 when I was in Hong Kong with my brother and mom. That was painful enough. I would never sleep on someones foot, let alone my brother's disgusting fungus athletes foot feet. lmao. Austin sounds fun, I wish I could go there besides for school related stuff, but UT seems like a good college so maybe in the near future. :D 5 other people slept with you? :d lawlz.
