So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen, since what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal.

Day 11: Mental Gymnastics
Monday. 2.11.13 3:01 pm
And physical gymnastics. I joined a gymnastics class. I know, you're thinking, "Zanzamaphone, didn't you just join a fashion photography club, a philosophy club, a french/german language club, an urban adventurer's club, and a 'doing silly things in Paris' club? Didn't you further decide to start running and to take up parkour again? Didn't you further recommit to going to church on Sundays and Tuesday nights, and didn't you even further commit to hanging out with your friends more AND actually doing the work you were supposed to have been doing all of this time? Didn't you decide to visit every fountain in Paris and to go to every free museum? Didn't you tell that Russian guy that you'd like to go skiing on Mont Blanc? Didn't you agree to be an author on a special volcanology issue, to review a paper for a journal, to collaborate on several random projects, and to finish the secret paper about your favorite place on Mars that you've been writing by the end of February? Aren't you supposed to be working on at least one of the two novels that you are writing? Didn't you just take up calligraphy?"

Yes, yes, yes. Yes. But they totally taught us how to do HANDSPRINGS. I stopped taking gymnastics like the WEEK we were learning how to do handsprings, like twenty years ago, and now I'm totally going to learn! And gymnastics goes so well with parkour, don't you see?!?!? Plus the class is free! I met a cool Mexican girl!

So now the real gymnastics will be the scheduling gymnastics that I will have to achieve in order to do all of these things at the same time. >_>

You can do everything! Have you worked in your sleep schedule yet? Sleep is so annoying sometimes, why do we need so much of it!

I wasn't thinking any of those things before but I am now.

I don't even know how you do all this stuff. I do school and then I'm like "welp I'm done for the day." >_<

I think you're right about having the guy wait. While I haven't actually had to consciously impose a waiting period (I just decided when I was okay with things, wasn't meant to be a test of any sort), I have definitely delayed the physical affection aspect of things, and that probably did have a big impact. When I read about people having sex on the first date I can't even fathom how they can get comfortable enough to do such a thing, but I'm not surprised it doesn't tend to lead to serious relationships...

You are at least 1 of many steps ahead of me.

I've been thinking about joining a lot of classes, but haven't done much more than that. This prolonged thought process has been going on for a year, more or less.

O-Lord Zanzibar, you can do anything and everything you put your mind to,

I can hardly do gymnastics anymore.. All I can manage is a side split with my right leg in front, everything else isn't working out.
» Nuttz on 2013-02-11 08:16:37

Dude... are you really in all of those clubs?? If so, hell yeah! That's so awesome. I don't know why but for some reason I picture you twlling your grandkids in the future about all clubs you've joined as they gasp and awe.
