gym? kindof awesome.

I had no idea. Going to the gym? Is RIOTOUSLY FUN.

I've been going once or twice a week for... just under a month, I guess. The classes are greatly entertaining - I've been going to yoga, a yoga-pilates-fusion thing, and one with silly pop music and barbells, and they change routines pretty much every time I go, so it's a tiny little surprise for my whole body. Sometimes my fun friends are there, too! The trainer recommended to me by that dude I gave such a hard time? Is not only not a narrow-minded dumbass but is amusing and fairly insightful for a 12 year old (and has pretty eyes). He's no my-old-coach, but he'll do.

I declare the gym a success. Yay, gym!

In other news: I forgot how in all Jane Austen's books "you're looking fatter" is a total compliment about how you're not miserable and depressed anymore. Yay, 19th century!

I've been trying to get to the gym more myself (and running into you was a welcome sight!) but I'm one of those people whose incentive is to work out with friends moreso than on my lonesome. I haven't been able to do that much lately with social obligations and whatnot. It's just so hard!

However, I'd love to work out with you one time at BodyPump or BodyFlow!!

That would be fun!

I don't have a very consistent schedule for when I go to the gym - it's pretty much "hey, I have free time tonight... maybe I'll go to pump/flow class". But if you tell me a way to get in touch with you quickly, I'll let you know when I'm going.

This is pushing me that little step closer to considering an gym membership again.

I'm not saying it'd be RIOTOUSLY FUN for everyone, but certainly coming at it by being ready to completely hate everything the gym represented gave me a nice low bar and some necessary thick skin about the rhetoric of gyms in general.

And it IS fun, leaving that crap aside.

Hi!

I'm so sorry about your un-useful free thing. I got the world's largest pen for free, and it's not useful either. Except as an off-color conversation topic. Ooh! I bet there's a way to make the Washington Sports Club somehow a dirty joke. Especially if you talk about being a member.
