This past June I went to a formal ball. It was a birthday event for my friend's girlfriend. So I flew to Georgia (I'm in Illinois), and we drove to Florida to attend. We shopped forever for a ball gown for me and stuff to make me look all fancy and junk. Well, at the ball, I was all self conscious because I had never been to a ball nor do I feel super comfortable in gowns. And there were a lot of beautiful women there and junk. I never slow danced officially before and I was super nervous.

So the birthday girl is a huge fan of anime and video games, so all the music was orchestrated versions of popular theme songs from them.

"Lacrimosa" from Black Butler started playing and I squee'd so loudly. One of the guys who sat at our table looked at me and was like: WTF. I explained that it was the ending theme to my favorite anime of the moment. So he asked me to dance.

It's a faster paced waltzing song, so it was difficult, but we OWNED it. We flew around the dance floor kind of magic like and trumped everyone out there. Everyone was watching us in amazement and I felt like a princess.

So I made this name and it registers just... glamorous fantasy. Of course, I prefer the "wrong" spelling of it, but it's still recognized.

Lacrimosa means "weeping", which I definately was during that dance. On the inside. With happiness.
