...when more than 50% of your status updates and wallposts on Facebook is BD related in some way.
...when you ditch a boyfriend for dissing bellydance.
...when you have the homeless guy who just asked you for spare change hold several coins from a hipscarf for you while you're trying to dig out "real coins" for him from your wallet.
...when you catch yourself thinking "How can my local public library NOT have 'this or that' material on bellydancing on their shelves - that is outrageous! What kind of a "Learning Place" IS THIS!?" and feeling genuinely upset on behalf of the unfortunate inhabitants of your whole city for being cheated of obtaining what you have come to believe as "common basic knowledge for ANYONE interested in dancing, stageperforming and/or foreign culture studies"..."
...when you consider 'finding the bellydance' to have quite literally saved your life.
...when your friends have stopped asking you "oh, what kind of workshop?" when you tell them you're going to a workshop next weekend.
...when your friends and family wouldn't dream of asking you to prioritise something else over bellydancing unless it is almost life-threateningly important for them, because they know that you have to dance for you to continue being to be the person they know you and love you for being.
...when the sentence "I missed dance practise yesterday" coming from you has people who know you well sitting up straight, looking alarmed in the exact same fashion as the sentence "I quit my meds yesterday" from a schizophrenic patient would have a psychiatrist do.
...when you join a website for upcoming bands in your country for the sole reason of skimming for new music suitable for experimental bellydance and "getting to it" before anyone else, hehe...
(Plus a resounding YES to most of the former posts in this thread! )
