isn't nearly as much fun...)

if you're trying to hit every note in the music...
you're spending too much time listening to the music...
and not enough time paying attention to your partner...
(~if you're thinking about anything else in the middle of it...
you're with the wrong person..)
 
8...
unless you are a professional performer...
or an exhibitionist...
it's not important what the crowd thinks...
 
7...
if the cat gets dizzy, just watching...
you may not be socially appropriate...
(~being socially appropriate is over-rated... unless you're in public...)
 
6...
sometimes you want slow and lyrical...
sometimes you want rhythmic...
both are important...
express how you feel... right now...
 
5...
the more you do it...
the more you want to do it...

you're not...
 
2...

aren't nearly as important as how you make them feel...
