On relaxation and dancing like a crazy person

It's Friday, and time for Kpop Nonstop! Pony and I have a whole evening of kpop goodness planned. It suits me fine after an excellent day at Yasuragi spa yesterday, which was eight hours of onsen style baths, tea and fruit, yoga, some more onsen baths and swimming a few hundred meters in their swimming pool. Reading a book in warm water outside with the cold November wind in your hair while enjoying a day of almost complete silence was amazing. I even got to eat okonomiyaki for lunch, which I haven't done since I was in Kyoto, and it tasted almost the same and I felt really nostalgic. When I came back to town, I was relaxed in both body and mind, and it's kept on going like that for most of the day as well. I feel a little tired and my shoulders ache a bit from the yoga, but all in all I feel so much better for having gone. I'm filled with what the Puppy called a 'yogi calm. "You look so good! I like seeing this version of you. You're so giggly. It's adorable."

I wish all Thursdays were spa Thursdays.

I talked to my sister K about it, and she really didn't get why I'd gone by myself. Then again, she doesn't really get the whole introvert thing either, so I guess it's to be expected. The place is pretty luxe, and walking around there, feeling the stone tiles under my feet and just taking in the atmosphere was so restful. There weren't all that many decorations, and all the things that were there were built out of solid, beautiful, quality materials. I love the simplicity and minimalism of it. I could literally experience my thoughts slow down to the point where my head was completely clear, and I was at peace with everything going on in my life. All the complicated things were obviously still there, but the struggles that came with them felt as if they were scrubbed away and soaked out of my body, left behind, and that I'm far more adept at handling it in a way that's far more healthy for me. I feel totally relaxed. I wish I could go back like once a month or so.

Soon I'll be starting the process of trying to get myself to look as badass as CL. I bought false lashes for the first time ever in some sort of attempt to test if they'll just look ridiculous or if they'll make me look hot. I'm not always super girly (in fact, I was talking about my hair yesterday with a friend when I complained that I was tired of looking like a boy, and he answered "But I thought that's what you wanted?". Boy style is sweet, sometimes, but I like being able to go both ways), but sometimes I feel like it'd be fun to pretend I was, just to see what kind of reactions I'd get. My hair may be short, but I'm going out in a super short body con dress that shows off pretty much everything, so there'll be no doubt in anyone's mind that I'm not a boy. I'm wondering if it'll generate any attention. Kinda hoping it will.

I'm looking forward so much to going out! Pony and I love Kpop Nonstop. We're celebrating that I have time off and that we're finally hanging out by cooking food together, making ourselves ridiculously attractive and playing some k-pop drinking game before heading out to dance our asses off.

People who are good at dancing are super cool. I think we can all agree on that. One of the main reasons Pony and I watch k-pop videos (apart from the obvious perving) is to see the cool dancing. And there are a lot of cool moves! And every time we kinda look at each other and go "Damn, we should learn how to do that", and really, we should. There are just so many groups with so many members, and we're so few. There should be more k-pop fans out there wanting to learn choreographies for fun, but so far I don't really know where to start in finding these people. Ah, crippling shyness, you make things so hard for me. There's a chanel that teaches how to dance some parts of k-pop dances, so I guess we could always try that for fun. I just wish I had better coordination.
