i effing love flying, you guys
Sep. 27th, 2009 10:11 pmTonight I spent time with Patrick & Anna & oh my gosh I love them so much. It is good to know that should I be at loose ends when I am thirty-five, I can move in with both of them & we'll raise children in a pseudo-polygamous weirdly-habited co-parenting artistic household. Just in case! LOVE.
The other main thing I did today was to have a two and a half hour aerial class, which surprisingly does not hurt as much as I thought (though I may be feeling it tomorrow). Can I just talk for a moment about how amazing aerial is?
I don't like working out. I like feeling active, I like doing things--but I hate gyms, and if I'm not DOING something to be active--Ultimate or horse riding or something--I just won't do it.
I have never, ever, NOT wanted to go to aerial class. Ever.
And this hurts, let me tell you--there are moves I know I could do that I still haven't got yet, simply because I haven't gotten over the pain threshold. And I am, usually, a baby about painful things, but honey, if it's the right kind of pain, sign me right up, and I am so determined to do this as well as I possibly can that even when moves hurt I want to try them over and over again. I do not care if I have bruises all on my thighs, because I figured out my own drop move in the hoop today. I do not care that I could not move my fingers for several hours without feeling like they were burned, because now I can do gazelle on the rope or the silks almost without thinking about it. I do not care that my lats twinge when I stretch up because it means I was using them every time I went up into straddle or hook and that is a good thing.
Holy crap you guys I LOVE THIS. I have goals....small and large.
1) get my damn same-leg hook under control without wimping out for god's sake, which leads into
2) get catchers reliably.
3) straddle in the air, so that i can do all these drops & high tricks without simmone pushing me up (this means abs abs abs and biceps, mostly)
4) choreography. when i have some good ones,
5) choreograph a routine to Led Zepplin's Kashmir (hoop, probably, though maybe silks)
[other songs under consideration, seriously or not: Candyman, Edith Piaf, and Queen. Mostly Zepplin, though.)
6) perform. anywhere.
I wonder if I should come up with a stage name for aerial performing? And if I do...any ideas? :D
I wanna go back to class tomorrow. I LOVE THIS.
