I made a fool of myself in two different ways at the same time.
Here's what happened..
I got out of work and drove to Hollywood Video, cause you know it's Tuesday and I gotta have my new movies on 'new movie tuesday'.
Anyway, I always take my phone and listen to my music on it through earphones. Today..I had it really loud and I didn't even realize it. I'm walking through the store and Everlong comes on. I was jammin and scanning the shelves and walking sideways (accidentally in front of people) and I didnt realize that more and more people were gathering behind me. *sigh*...I also didn't realize that I was singing out loud and dancing. It also may have looked like I was performing in front of a small audience in the back of the store...at least to newcomers who enter the store.
I can't sing and I definately can't dance. I just kind of "bob around".
By the time I turned around and noticed all the people...I know I must have really traumatized them.
I was first in line at the register.
I think they did that on purpose.

lmfao....so, you dance to your own beat.
Crack me up. No one tapped you on the shoulder or anything?!? Look at it this way, at least they know you now when you go in Hollywood video because who could forget that kind of show?
Hee! At least you were singing to something that is current (um, I'm assuming it is a current song since I, queen of Unhipness, don't recognize the name) - if that'd been me, I would've been busted for singing something like Copacabana... and unironically, too. Yes, the Barry Manilow song. I am THAT hip.
Cheers!
Congrats on being featured!
I got "caught" once - was driving our old VW van, no radio, and had my walkman on. I was bopping along, singing at the top of my lungs (and I can't carry a tune in a bucket!) when I got to a stop light. Look to my right, and there is a whole convertible of gorgeous guys DYING laughing at me. Did I mention my hair was REALLY long and they couldn't see the Walkman? Yeah, that light couldn't turn green fast enough!! I feel your pain . . .
Did you get paid for that performance? Or at least get a free movie?
omgosh, I could have written this! Ever since I got my iPod, I tend to forget that I'm out in public and this becomes a constant source of humiliation for my kids.
oh my gosh...the mental image I have is soo funny. Do you think they have that on their surveillance tapes?
But at least it was Everlong and not something cheesy like Air Supply!
And today's New Movie Tuesday! Go get the latest and be sure to sing away while doing so.
Good for you. Who cares what those people think anyway? They were probably totally jealous of your groovin' spirit.
oh, man, you know you made their day!
More people should dance and sing like you, we would all be happier!
Cracks me up! I can just imagine seeing this! I think, though, I can see it with me as the iPoding dancer!
Don't feel bad. I do that same thing whenever I have my iPod on.
LOL...congrats on the SIST feature...and if that makes you a dork...you are MY kind of people...lol...funny stuff
Lovin' the dork life. I live it daily. Congrats again on the SITS feature. VERY funny stuff.
Embrace your inner dork. Dork is definitely the new cool. Dance away. Great blog!
You GO girl! Get your groove on!
That is AWESOME. I've done the same thing at work before!
That's funny! I thought maybe they were following and getting closer so they could hear the tunes also :)
We should dub you 'Kareoke Queen' (i realize i spelled that wrong...)
That's awesome!
haha love this! you do your thing!! = )
It's so nice to see someone happy and enjoying themselves, I love it!! lol
Congrats on your SITS day in the sun!
Ha! See, the old people in Footloose were right! Dancing and music IS evil!
That was YOU? I was wondering who that crazy singing and dancing new release movie nut was.
I hope you at least got the movie that you wanted. :)

I Love it when I run across people completely uninhibited in public. I smile, get into the groove and wish I had the balls to be as fun and free!
:-)
That is awesome! I sing and dance in public frequently. I don't care what people think because it makes me feel good!
I agree with others, we should all be so free. I've been caught before too, it is humiliating but hey how many of them will you see again.
This is precisely why I keep my groove in the kitchen. The only witnesses are my poor children and perhaps a random neighbor kid.
Dance like no one's watching. Thank you for the wonderful example of this great quote.
Funny girl!
Cute!!! Don't you think the world could be a lot more fun if people danced like no one was watching?
Oh dear, that's pretty embarrassing. Aren't you glad you have a good sense of humor to help you through times like that? :-)
Too funny! I love how everyone was watching you. Are you sure no one got it on video from their phones?
I always embarass my family because I have no problem dancing through a store. I guess I figure its not hurting anyone. Weird looks can never hurt me...sticks and stones...hahaha!
I am always worried that I will burst out singing when I am listening to my ipod in public.
Sometimes you just get into it...you have to groove.
That sounds like one of those dreams you have when you're in school and really stressed about finals. At least you weren't in your underwear.
you shouldn't be ashame to be happy :D
Oh wow! I don't think I could do that. I get too embarrassed to sing along and dance when I'm in the car beside other drivers!
You are not a dork. You are a wonderful woman.
Say that to yourself three times before you next visit the video store.
I love the layout of your blog!
lol! this is hillarious! i usually do this in the safety of my car, but . . . :) happy SITS day!
At least you provided some entertainment to them while they shopped!
Congratulations on being SITS's featured blogger. I'm bad enough mouthing the words while I work out...I'm always afraid I'll forget where I am and start singing.
killer. you're a rockstar!
Hysterical!
Go sister! You dance and sing all you want!
LOVE IT! Hey they were all just jealous THEY couldn't move and groove like you. Go get em SITSa!
tee hee!
HAHAHA I do that in the car.
HA! I got the best mental picture of you performing! I am known to sing (horribly) loud, but figure I'll never see the people staring at me again, so it's all good...
Okay, first of all: Everlong? One of the BEST songs EVER. And I totally would have been publicly rocking out too (how could you NOT?). And second of all: LOVE. YOUR. BLOG. And am subscribing right now.
I love it!
LMAO! This was a good one!
It reminds me of the iPod dancer in the commercial!
I do that when i jog! And I'm always surprised at least once a week when someone comes out of their garage or something. Nothing wrong with that :)
SO FUNNY! I can only imagine.
LOVE IT! So did your audience just scatter when you stopped? My neighbors have a running joke about how I dance in my kitchen to bluegrass and Akon. Whatever. They're looking in MY windows! Dance on, sista!
Well, they were there for entertainment, right? You just gave them a show they didn't have to rent!
That's why I only dance/sing in the shower and bathroom!
I seriously LIVE for moments like that!!!! You probably made those people's day and then they probably blogged about it later! ;) Hooray for being the topic at the watercooler!
Love it!!!
LOL!!
I used to do that in the car, much to the embarrassment of my kids. :-)
Oh this is amazing. I do this all the time in public!! I'm convinced I'm like one of those people on American Idol who really think they can sing....but they really, really can't. LOL Thanks for the smile. Have a great day!
Oh I wish I was there! Awesome story!
I do this all the time! You should see me on the treadmill at the gym! Well, maybe you really don't want to see that. :)
I love to dance and "groove" in public...so do my kids!
I just think of it as making someones day to see some really crazy lady!
I am so a dancer and a singer. Not a good dancer or singer, but man do I love to shake my money maker... or big butt..whichever.
You should have asked for TIPS :)!
