ita, did you do handsprings? I think a goal of mine should be able to do a back handspring at 35.
I can beat up demons until the cows come home, and then I can beat up the cows.

Can you play any instrument? Hold a tune when singing?
I used to play piano, now, nsm. I can still sing, though!
I have a good sense of rhythm, but zero dance ability. I was never comfortable enough in my own skin as a child or teen to learn how to loosen up enough.
I also used to be a pretty good tennis player. I wish I'd kept it up.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
The summer I was three years old, we had an extended stay at a motel with a pool, and I practically lived in the pool all summer.
I just learned on my own to swim underwater, I never learned to swim properly.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

I would love to learn ballroom dancing and belly dancing. I can get down with my funky self when I'm alone with the door closed and the curtains drawn.
edit: though the cats probably are snickering to themselves when I do.

I offered to cover someone's powerbook with masking tape and adding shoe polish for a faux corkboard look. She declined.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
did you do handsprings?
No, sadly. I was crap. I had no physical coordination skills until I was done with puberty. Which took a while.
A gymnast friend offered to teach me five years ago, thought it should be no problem. Hmm.
