I do something behind closed doors in my own house that I’m not ashamed to do. I used to do it in public in front of people but now I do it by myself. Any guesses?
Some of you might be thinking stripping–I mean that’s the first thing I thought of while re-reading my description and generally that’s my first response to anything. But alas I have never taken my clothes off for people–not even my husband, the poor guy. The correct response is:
I DANCE TO BRITNEY SPEARS AND *NSYNC!
Back in high school I “hated” Britney Spears–she was my antithesis. Granted that really meant I loved her and tried to imitate her as much as possible without people realizing it. And *NSYNC I just loved them and wanted to be the girlfriend to every one of them. Even Lance, he wouldn’t have loved me back though. My friend Ginny and I would scrutinize over their videos and memorize the dances. Ginny was a fellow “hater” although she might have actually hated her at one point because she stole her man–Justin! We were good–I think Oops I Did It Again was our best performance EVER. We were asked a lot in college to perform the dance. We even got extra credit in Biology II for doing the dance in front of the whole class. We had no shame.
Nowadays I keep my dancing confined to my own house. Just yesterday I was on the treadmill and Britney came on the IPOD and I just had to break out in dance. Yes, I know I’m talented and can walk and dance at the same time on a treadmill. I wonder if there’s a video floating around there of me dancing…I’ll see what I can do.
Speaking of sad and pathetic:
“A LITTLE HELP HERE PLEASE…”
Yeah, she’ll just sit there like that until someone helps her up onto the bed.
By the way–Yesterday was AWESOME! Thanks to all of the new people who came over and commented!
Oh…we so need the video!!! And the poor doggie…get him some stairs woman!
I think we all secretly dance in the privacy of our own home. I have been married for almost 8 years and I don’t think I have let my hubby see me dance either. Funny he watched me give birth twice and will witness the third any day now, but I won’t dance in front of him!! HMM…
btw check out my blog, you’ve been tagged!
Um, i dance and sing to them all the time and I am in no way embarrassed. I love me some Britney Spears. I can’t wait for her fabulous come back.
I too am a closet Britney Spears fan. It all started with that overprotected song, it was so catchy. I couldn’t help myself, but I never let anyone see me dance or sing along.
Um yeah. I also had my secret Backstreet Boys cd’s that I hid from everyone. Oh the shame.
I dance like an idiot to old school rap…. don’t tell anyone, but if some Bust a Move comes on the radio I am suddenly transported to the early nineties and shake my a$$ like the white chick I am 🙂 We all have our secret loves!
BTW, I added you to my SITS blogathon list 🙂 That means you amuse me and make me giggle, so Cheers to you and the Doggies!
All right since your outing yourself its only fair that I do also. Ok here goes……. I’m a secret …… Kelly Clarkson fan. Yeah I know not quite as bad as nsync, but bad just the same.
Good for you !! I do all the time with my teen aged Daughters.
I too confess that I am an avid singer/dancer behind closed doors.
I love Tom Jones and I’m not ashamed of it. “It’s Not Unusual” is one of the ringers on my phone.
dance like no one’s watching, right??? good for you! makes me wonder what I do behind closed doors…hmmm….interesting.
since we are being honest, i secretly love Nsync too! britney, not so much! LOL
love the dog pic. my parents’ shit zhu does the same thing
Yeah…where are the dancing pics?? 🙂
I only dance in the privacy of my own home and only with my kids. They love it and I love it, but I’m a TERRIBLE dancer. No one else needs to go through the torture of seeing that!
Angie in OH
LOL, that is great!! I’m a closet fan too 🙂 But, I’d never tell anyone that… well, I have shared my love of NKOTB before!!
PS. You’ve been tagged… hope you want to play. Check out my blog to see what’s in store! 🙂
I look like that getting into my bed, too. And I am so down with you dancing. I do it, too.
That is too funny. Lance would have luv-ed ya back, just not in that way. Maybe in a “let’s go to a cafe, grab a Starbucks and look for shoes” kinda way, tough. LOL
Thanks for stopping by! The SITS day was so much fun!
I was on the exercise bike the other day (ok, it’s been a few weeks), and the Pussycat Dolls came on my ipod. I was waving my arms in the air, ‘dancing’ when my boyfriend came home. We both kind of froze and just looked at each other.
I love Britney. And I once had a dream that Lance Bass wanted to be my boyfriend.
Ha ha ha… I don’t think you’re alone in your closet dancing. 🙂 I think I’ve got an N’Sync cd around here somewhere.
Ummmm, yeah so Kody and I still listen to “Celebrity” all the time. Remember when we were in the car and we were “car dancing” and Rob pulled up next to us in the middle of our big moment? Britney is still on my running playlist. Seriously, we were so good it almost scared me. I heard a girl talking about how she saved all her Duran Duran posters and had a party and posted them all over the room. CD release party anyone? Red carpet walk….
I can totally understand the desire to break out in dance so good for you! Myself, I do the robot any chance I get. It goes with any song and I always give myself a big giggle.
LMAO. So funny! I totally do the same thing. No NSYNC but Britney and NKOTB – but they are from back in my elementary school days.
Don’t we all have something that we are a little ashamed to do in public?
New Kids On The Block (old school) dancer here. LOL I know, pathetic. I need rehab…rehab for that and for the blogathon yesterday. I so have a blog hangover. It was SO fun! lol
~melody~
I dance in the car all the time. It’s a guilty pleasure! Britney, Kelly, old school rap, 80s music, 90s dance music, boy bands–it all gets me going. I especially like doing “Bye Bye Bye” in the car.
I am glad I am not the only one! You are funny! 🙂
Thanks for visiting my blog yesterday!
I’m not a secret dancer but a secret singer. *lol* I hold my own private concerts…seating is limited. One of the first songs my daughter started singing was Bye, Bye, Bye…she was only 2 at the time. Thanks for stopping by my place yesterday.
Ok, I will admit I used to make fun of my friends who liked boy bands. So now I have to hide the fact that I totally love Justin. Shhh, don’t tell anyone!
I was always the girl with the heavy metal and punk exterior, but on the inside I was lovin me some NKOTB!!! My daughter loved NSYNC so I was forced to listen to them, but then I kinda liked them. And Justin has just gotten better in time. I may not have owned any NSYNC CD’s but I definitely have Justins. Britney was something my daughter liked too, until I thought it was getting a little to inappropriate for her but more grown up for me. She’s been through hell but that girl came back and back in a big way. I like her music now. 🙂
Hey! You’re the one that got that song stuck in my head! LOL
I heart Nsync and I’ll admit it. Justin Timberlake is a talented man. JC Chawhathisname had a good song come out as a solo artist but it fizzled. I liked it, too.
Your dog is cracking me up. She is doing the international sign for “I need a boost”, lol.
I taped the 80 hours of the 80’s on VH1 over Labor Day Weekend. I sang and sang and sang! I even danced. I know what you mean.
I’m Kristin, part of the Secret Santa Soiree stopping by to say hi! Come on over to my place this week, I’m having a giveaway a day as my Birthday week celebration.
Kristin
So funny! That’s me with New Kids on the Block. Although I must admit, I love me some Justin!
That is hilarious but only because I can relate. Those are some of THE best songs to get down to. And I can’t even dance. Not even a little. I LOVE Brit’s old stuff. Do you like how I call her Brit like we are BFF’s? ha ha. Good times. And JT. Oh don’t even get me started on that boy. 🙂
Ohhhhhhh…you’re doggy looks like she can dance, too! I boogie down everywhere. In the shower, in the car, in the kitchen. I know how to get down!
Geesh! How far down in your comment list am I? Well, I’d be worried that you wouldn’t read this, but let me drop this truth bomb on you…I SO HAVE SEVERAL BS ALBUMS AND TWO BACKSTREET BOYS ALBUMS AND ONE NSYNC. I still shake my groove thing to the Backstreet Boys when I’m cleaning. Oh, yeah!!!
We’ll give you extra credit on your blog if you will post a video!!!!! Please!! Please!!
Ok ok…I’ll see if I can find a video! If not maybe if you all pay me enough I’ll video tape myself! haha
Lurves me some Brit Brit. So glad she’s back. LOL I am not ashamed of my Brit love. LOLsies

I used to totally rock out to Britney and NSync back in the day……I kind of still do but sssshhhhh…..
My *NSync CD (celebrity) is still one of my favorites. It fits a particular mood just right.
