MY PILATES TRAUMA
Ok so basically what's going on is that since my migraines are getting worse I finally woke up from my denial and accepted that it's probably because of my back and neck (which people have been telling me for ages but I'm just so stubborn that it's ridiculous). Anyway, after Sandra, this great Spanish lady who massages me, aka tortures me, until I scream said that I have to start pilates.
First pilates class ever on Tuesday. I came into this room where everyone looked like cheerleaders. (I used to do cheerleading with some other law girls at QM in my first year. But I just remember that the law girl- group, or well, mostly me, were kind of like "the annoying group" that the other super- skinny cheerleaders who had way too much time on their hands- aka didn't need to study that much- took to a separate corner and we used to have to practise there by ourselves. Hm.) Anyway. Some of the people in this class were wearing toe rings by the way. Is that a pilates thing? I thought toe rings were so out? I would never wanna be caught wearing a toe ring! Ok so the skinny wannabe- cheerleaders were all stretching away and obviously comparing their stretching abilities with each other. (In silence, of course. These kinds of girls would never dream of actually talking to each other. I gave it a go myself and they looked at me as if I was an alien. Which I kind of was under the circumstances...) After a while the teacher comes in, who's this amazing hilarious man who's really also, quite, eh, feminine. I think some of these comments directed to me by him says something about my first pilates- performance.

"Darling, WHY do you have your hands on the floor? Did I tell you to but your hands on the floor? I told you to put your ELBOWS down! ELBOWS! ELBOWS! ELBOWS! Sweetheart, do you think you're Jennifer Lopez?"
"Noo..?"
"So why are you cheating on this exercise?"
"I'm not che..."
"No one but JLO can cheat while doing pilates. You know why?"
"Why..?"
"Because she has butt implants. Everyone else has to "create" their own implants. Now LIFT! LIFT! LIFT! Did I tell you that you could SIT DOWN yet?"
"Oh, but I thought..."
"Well, obviously, some people here are more talented than others."
You get the idea. After about 45 mins of shouting at me i shouted out, distraught "I'M NEEEEEW!!!" But he just looked at me and said "Yes. And? It's not as if I didn't know."
I'm gonna prove this man wrong. From now on, I'm a pilates gal. MissFriFri always likes a challenge. If the toe ring girls can do it I'm sure that I can. Watch out JLO.
