once upon a time (approximately a week ago) there was a college that hosted a lip-synch contest called mock rock. at mock rock boys and girls come up with dances and pantomimes to songs in hopes to wow the crowd and win prizes.
every year there is a special department on campus that performs, not for the money but for the fame and the love of performance.
two years ago this department covered glee's version of rebecca black's "friday" and last year they covered owl city and carly rae jepsen's "good time."
the team decided to step up their dancing this year and tackled austin mahone's "what about love?" thinking the best idea would be to just do a cover of the video since obviously the choreography was done for them, the group elected an "austin" and the rest decided to be his back up dance crew.
this seemed like a stellar idea until they realized that the lone girl in the group was a TERRIBLE dancer.
all of the boys were in real dance groups. the girl was not. the guys picked up the routine for the entire song in approximately 20 minutes. the girl practiced and practiced and practiced and an hour before the performance she was still getting the counting down. the boys nailed the performance. the girl muddied the waters of the choreography a bit.
regardless of her missed steps the crew still got a standing ovation.

if you haven't figured it out (and i don't know how you couldn't have) the girl was me. with music and dance going hand-in-hand, and my deep love of music, you would think i would be a half-way decent dancer. nope. homegirl has really got to take some lessons. anyone want to join me?
