The Rules: This month we’re going to try something new! It can be anything at all, as long as its something you’ve never tried before but always wanted to. A new hobby or sport, a different fashion, a new recipe or restaurant or perhaps an experience like going on a boat or flying a kite. One of the best ways to grow and develop who we are is to try new things, you never know when you’ll discover something that makes you happy or lets you express another part of yourself.

For this month's challenge I had planned to get my first manicure, but due to lack of funds I ended up giving up on the idea. Not really seeing anything I could arrange in time for the deadline, I figured I'd have to skip this challenge, and was rather dissapointed.

However, every summer my library holds weekly video game tournaments, and at this last one a couple of girls had brought Dance Dance Revolution, which was very exciting, since I've wanted to try the game for years. I'm pretty shy when it comes to these sorts of things though, on top of which I'd never played the game before, so at first I just played using the controller. But after watching a bunch of other people play with the dance mat not only did I have decent idea of how it was done, I also had the burning desire to try it out myself. So I ignored the fact that people were watching, jumped onto the dance mat and got my first real try at DDR. It was a blast! Despite being very tired by the time I finished, I had waaaay too much fun. I think when I finally get some real funds again and get around to buying Guitar Hero that I am going to have to pick up DDR as well.
