Just had some pasta and vegetables from last night.
Now I'm off to give blood for the first time in about 18 months. Quite why I haven't done it lately is completely lost on me.

I have to wait until June
because that'll be a year since my last piercing. I'm trying to persuade my bloke to do it but he's a wuss

That's because you don't like Glee

well
they won't let you give blood either. *Because you watch Glee*

It's true
The restrictions on gays giving blood apply to those who pasttimes. Between Glee, Ballroom and Ballet they'd rather take blood from a Rolling Stone. See what I did there.

Spec-fucking-tacular
Apologies for language. And sarcasm. Is a bog-standard working day but have Ballet tonight, yay :-) how are you?

it's a bad day
I'm holed up in my room trying not to panic at all the work I have to do, and my room-mates been taken to hospital with a blood infection.

How long have you done ballet for?

Bugger
Sorry to hear that. It'll all be over in a month(ish) :-)

Only about 6 months. I'm not the most flexible lad so trying to do some of the figures in a room with 19 girls is both embarrassing and entertaining, depending on where I'm stood in relation to the mirrors

yeah poor girl
amusingly however the blood infection was caused by the drunken wrestling from a few days ago

I used to do ballet as a kid. Every night for about six months. Do you get called Billy Elliot at all?

Nothing so creative
The Ballet habit earns me many nicknames, mostly of a much less imaginative nature. "Gay", "Gaylord", "Bumder", "Shirter", you get the idea. When I first posted on Facebook that I was taking up Ballet one of my best friends posted as a comment "There is only so much gay having a hot girlfriend can defend you from and you just crossed the line".

You're probably still better at Ballet than me then :-)

Nah forgotten it all
gave it up and took up gymnastics instead for a bit.

You can say things like 'look at Rudolf Nureyev, he wasn't gay' then stop and say oh

You must be well hard!
Most of the ballet dancers I've known have been absolutely nails.
The strength they have and the pain they put themselves through. *Shudder* 3.2.

:(

Sadly I am not as yet Well Hard
But I'm a lot more toned than I was when I took it up. That's not all down to the Ballet but it helps

I'm back
I think the reason is because I've been based remotely and haven't been able to get to sessions for various reasons. The last time I went, they missed the vein. Twice.
