Stop me before I hurt myself.
Apr. 24th, 2003 09:32 amI've getting better with the whole dancing thing, my knee is de-gimping itself, slowly but steadily. It no longer hurts in the ow-I'm-doing-more-damage-to-it way, it just hurts in the gentle-reminder-that-I-sprained-it-six-weeks-ago way. I'm prevented from trying anything flashy in the footwork department, so last night at the club I was pretty much only doing that arm-wavey stuff. The problem is that when you're limited to using just your hands and arms, you try to make up more new stuff to do with just those parts, and some of it works, and some of it really doesn't. "Oh geez that must have looked pretty stupid, let's not do that again. I hope nobody saw that. Crap, everybody's laughing at me now. Well I'd better try something else fast..." Late in the evening I actually caught myself doing Eensy Weensy Spider and at that point I knew it was time to go home.
