Ice Ice Baby

My Body Pump instructor came up to me after class to say last night to I had GOOD FORM and had been meaning to say so for some time and to KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK! How cool is that? It's bloody cool, I tells ya. So why is noone I mention this to in the least bit impressed? Hmmph. She only usually talks to the Cool Kids™ but lo, she spoke to ME there quietly hauling the bar up there in very back corner of the room. ME! Me who is not in skimpy outfit and of rippling body. It made me happy! Really stupid tiny things like that make me happy.

Oh hell. Just look at me here inserting CAPITALS in the middle of sentences at random intervals. I'm turning into my goddamn father who is not well acquainted with the fine art of punctuation. Next thing you "know" I will using "inverted commas" in completely inappropriate "places" like he does. An example:

hurrah for airing your pain in public!

oops i did it again!

Anyway. I squat good.

Love the link to the 'squatting' site. Thanks to you I have become aware that I squat like a dork.

Thanks very much! :(

Graham said:

Oh grud, is THAT the letter? Umm...

kristen said:

congrats on getting fit and strong! :o) better not mess with you, eh?

timo said:

Those two snippets of letters are more telling than a month's worth of journal entries.

Marybeth said:

I am not athletic at all, not even enough to go pretend to do aerobics. You, my dear, have been hauling ass for awhile now and are getting recognition. Kudos! I'm very impressed by the instructor's singling you out. So, there's one.

shauny said:

timo - ya don't say. hehe. stupid prick. not you! him.

graham - yes it is THAT letter.

The bad punctuation fucks me off more than anything.

saigonsam said:

The letter is cringe-inducing but personally I'm proud of "you".

Row said:

Sir's brother "writes" like THAT. In greeting cards he also underlines the important parts of the printed greeting.

Row said:

Oh I forgot. I wish we lived really close so you could drag me to the gym too. I need incentives.

Monkey said:

I think that CAPITALS thing is from reading TOO MUCH pulp SOFT PORN like people and picture and stuff.

And props to Miss Shauny. She'll kick yo ass, honky!

shauny said:

Row - I wish you could to! It's very addictive :)

shauny said:

If anyone can somehow tell me what the fuck I am doing wrong with these comments (the Remember Info? bit is causing the error) please let me know.

Graham said:

Bloik!

Marybeth said:

Shauny! My last birthday card from my parents had, in lovely purple brush script across the very expensive-looking cover, "For a Special 'Daughter'". Um.

shauny said:

yeah that makes me feel better marybeth, thanks! :P

Simon said:

If I'm referring to a word, rather than its meaning, I'll feel the need to put it in quotes. Is that allowed?

Anyway, it looks like that wrong quotes thing is the written/typed form of when people say 'quote, unquote' before saying something they wish to emphasize (and which is also something I hate). I'm no fan of the finger quotes in the air, either.

Oh, and double plus good on the fitness thing :-) Perhaps the instructor doesn't bother to speak to you much, 'cause you do well anyway, and don't need much instruction/correction?

nessajane said:

Wow!!! That letter did speak volumes.

"BASTARD"

I'm trying not to sound like your mum when I say, "I'm proud of you for getting out to the gym and doing so well."

Trouble is, I'm probably nearly as old as your mum, so guess what...

I'M PROUD OF YOU!!!
