"You're looking particularly ridiculous today, Annie Rhiannon," my Body Combat teacher telepathed at me when I turned up for class last night.
"Oops," I telepathed straight back at her in my best Icelandic. "Is it the two stripes of war-paint smeared across each cheek? Or the ammunition belt strapped over my shoulder?"
Unfortunately, even my best Icelandic isn't all that good. Add telepathy to the equation and it must have come out as "can you give me directions to the nearest train station please" or something, because she just gave me a funny look and ignored me for the rest of the class.

Ha. So do you really take combat lessons?? And my telephathy efforts always fail...
ReplyDeleteYes I do. Everything in this blog is 100% truth.
ReplyDeleteDon't know how much good these classes are for actually combatting anybody though. It's just keep fit really.
I like being not noticed in work out classes. In aquafit I always smash into other people. In hip hop classes my entire head turns red like I am going to stroke out. I always go as far away from the instructor as possible. also, if I watch myself in the mirror I can't do anything right. the whole thing feels completely humiliating, I just want to hide.
ReplyDeleteCandy Minx - I'm the same, but then I lose all courage to go there again. Now I just dance in my room instead where no-one can see me. Or in nightclubs, where it's dark and no-one can see the red-ness, although it comes out in all the photos.
ReplyDeleteI used to be like that. I'd always be hiding at the back of the class. Now I don't care if everybody thinks I'm nuts: I work out much better as Crazy Power Girl than I do as Annie Rhiannon.
ReplyDeleteWar paint is hot.
