Y2Krazy Legs

Sometimes when I walk in public places, such as the hallways at the schools here, I feel awkward, like a lead singer who doesn’t dance, play an instrument, or have the intensity and presence to just stand and sing comfortably. Other times I’ll have a song in my head, or just a solid feeling in my bones, and my gait will feel natural. Comfortable.

It’s funny that it varies from day to day. Not like other movements and skills that we can master, when once you’ve got it down you keep it down. Awkward strides bubble up throughout my weeks.

I'm kind of bummed this post wasn't actually about Y2Krazy Legs the person but I know exactly what you mean. I feel a lot less awkward than I used to, but some days and in certain situations I feel like a bumbling seventeen year old again.
If you come to Portland in August we will hang so hard. If you havent lined up a place to stay already my door and couch are always open to you.

I'm also bummed that this post wasn't about Y2Krazy Legs the person. Usually I come up with titles for posts at the end, and when I decided on this one I thought that it outshone the post itself.

Alix's friend is getting married, so I don't know where we'll be staying yet. Even if I don't sleep on your couch I'll come to your door. It'll be a real thing.
