and so right, since i did ballet (fyi: there's a difference between doing ballet and being a ballerina) for what, 13 years? - i assumed that my body would somehow be able to twist and contort itself into the strange stretching positions i was once able to carry out back when i was still actively dancing. [what ever gave me that idea?]

i have never been SO wrong.

just so you know, i can still touch my head with the tips of my toes, BUT i think i actually heard my spine crack. it made this sickening sound like "CRRRAAAAACK!" frightful indeed. after which, i just lay motionless on my bed for some time, trying to recover (mostly from shock) and regain full use of my limbs again. i felt like an arthritic old woman.

ohmygah.
