Jujitsu was SO FUN yesterday. I’ve missed the camaraderie of the class. The problematic people of last semester aren’t there this semester for some reason, and the remaining returning students have great chemistry together. For the drills and training, we split the class up into 2 sides, the beginners and the returning students. Since we returning students already know each other, we were super comfortable and I’ve never laughed so hard while getting SO beat up. Even while I was made fun of for not being around more often. Oh, and I learned some great moves, too. The one I mastered almost intuitively, however, is one I probably won’t get to use much since it’s not something I could do on someone much taller than me, and let’s face it, most people are much taller than me.
Toward the end of the evening as we were packing up to leave, Josh asked me if I’d done gymnastics or been a gymnast in the past. I told him no. He said, “Oh, cuz you have that body type.” That’s not a compliment for me! Female gymnasts are built like men! Ew. But apparently he thought it was a compliment cuz he thought it was really cool how strong I am when I have him in a lock. Then again, he also said, “Do you wear contacts? Color contacts? [leaning in to look at my eyes] Just one?” HUH?
“What do you MEAN just one? Is the other one missing?!”
“No, well, you know how some people only wear one contact cuz only 1 eye needs to be corrected?”
“But my contacts are GRAY, if I were only wearing one, one eye would be gray and the other eye would be brown!”
…so who knows what Josh means by anything he says.
