bad at being bad

[illusiongrl]

Just keep bumping up against this struggle over being a beginner. It keeps me from doing all sorts of things I'd love to be able to do. I don't know if it's because I don't really believe I can learn, or I don't think I'm coordinated, or what, but I just struggle endlessly with anything physical. Give me something to read and I'll remember it

No law that says you must be good at everything ever. I love learning new things, but at this point in my life, I either have to be good at something right away OR it has to be really fun or interesting for me to stick with it.

For the record, you can add me to your list of people who can NOT hoop. You can make me try at PDF so you can laugh at me, if you want.

I've always hated sports and most other physical activities because they are hard and boring and painful, which has been really frustrating, seeing as regular exercise is healthy and mood boosting and all that. And high blood pressure runs in my family. I finally found something to stick with in bellydance (FUN! And while I'm not GOOD yet on the grand scheme of things, learning at a beginner level is not so challenging that it's too frustrating to stick with) and gardening (well, we'll see if that one sticks...)

The goddess of celebrating small victories just channeled me a message for you and it goes like this:

OMFG You can chest hoop?? That kicks ASSSSSzz!11!1!1omfgsrly!!kthxbye!!

ahem. ;p

And I will not say you are stiff and wooden but if that's how you feel then I'm gonna just remind you that you haven't been hooping regularly all that long and that your body has established habits from years of being alive and moving around in the world. Not a damn thing is wrong with you, sis.

I wanna hoop together, dangit. :,(

you're coming to PDF, right? we can certainly do it then... right?

I typo'd my goddess-channeling.
srly=srsly. Jeeez.

And no....no PDF for me this spring.
Samm had offered to help me with tix and all, but right now everything counts. It's all the costs, not just the ticket. It's the days off work, the distance, the food and stuff for 3 or 4 days and all the miscellaneous crap. It's the fact that Adam won't be there, that my ex-girlfriend probably WILL be there, that any number of the chicks Jeff fvcked in close proximity to me may be there, that Mick whatsisface who was at my house with one of the chicks Jeff fvcked in close proximity to me and has given me creepvibe more than once will be there. Come Fall or next Spring I'll likely be in a space of healthier finance and emotional distance from all of the above, but this Spring it all adds up to 'no'.

Been too busy to mention it before, sorry hon.

Totally understand, but :(

Oh well, I'm sure we'll find some other time...
