I can't put my head down to my knee, but I can still touch my toes.
See how I'm not punching him? I think I've grown.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
What devilish witchery am I playing with if I went 18 on, or maybe 6 off?
Not Steph, but I believe they're only worried about skin irritation. If leaving it on longer doesn't bother your skin, you're golden.
That's what I was going to say, or that the lidocaine might not last 18 hours.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
Long, long ago I could do the splits - one leg forward, not both straight out - but only with the left leg forward, and only after a solid year of daily dance classes. Right leg, never even close.

Occasionally I’m callous and strange
7 years of synchro and I could hyperextend splits (either leg forwards) with front leg on a chair and back leg on a stair but never could do side split. Now 17 years out of practice i can still do right leg forward split but not left. And that only due to yoga.

Hathaway too, Jesse?

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
Can't do the splits, never could, but I keep working on it in stretch class and now I can lift my legs a good 10-15% higher than I could before.
OK, what about stretching your legs out while sitting on the floor and putting your head down to your knee? I never could do that, either.
Oo! I know the trick to that one: relax your knees (ie bend them a little) so you don't overstretch your hamstrings. You'll get your torso down a good bit further than you ever thought you could, and in time your knees will straigten out while you relax.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here
There is something wrong with my hips (they are apparently attached at the wrong angle) that means I canno sit up straight with them stretched out in front of me and also sraighten my legs.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
in time your knees will straigten out while you relax.
Do you mean "in time" in that stretch session, or do you mean as you progress loosening yourself up from session to session?

Surely she would have mentioned the dreamy Hathaway.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
If she's also meeting Hathaway, "jealous" will not be the correct word to describe me.
