Be yourself; everyone else is already taken.

♛I've been working at theatre camp all week. These are some of the most talented students I've ever had the pleasure of working with. Also, they're some of the most uninhibited; I think that's part of what makes an actor great, letting go of what everyone else thinks and just being. Yesterday I got to coach scenes and monologues, one of my very ( Read more... )

A flash mob Fleetwood Mac would be awesome!!

I hope your back feels better soon. I have such a bad back too so I completely sympathize. :(

(I've totally lost my vehicle in a parking lot before too!) ;)

I have chronic back problems myself (since a neck/shoulder soccer injury I took when I was 13 in which I nearly broke my neck), and now have tendonitis/arthritis (which, lame, because I have that in my mid 20's, it's going to HURT down the line). I had my back x-ray'ed in college to rule out spinal problems. Luckily, the spinal problems were, in fact, ruled out as it turns out I have a lovely spine, but unluckily, the spinal problems were ruled out, which means, as suspected from the injuries and strain from sports, that I have muscle, ligament and tendon problems - which are almost worse because they are chronic, and never completely heal. Ever.

SO. What I'm getting around to is that if you know your back problems are more soft tissue oriented than bone problems, I would really suggest deep tissue massage. I had to start going again with all the running I was doing training for the ½ marathon (abundant exercise is, unfortunately, my trigger; if I exercise too much/too hard, I have back pain, but if I don't exercise at all, I have ( ... )

I'm with Elle (sorry to butt in!) but a deep tissue massage really helped me. Acupuncture also really helped as well.

I've pretty much reached the same chubbiness stage too. *headdesk*

I'll look into the deep tissue massage. I need to do SOMETHING, as what I've been doing just isn't working. And I really don't want ibuprofen to be a way of life, ya know?

A flash mob? So cool.

WHAT. AN. IDIOT. You sound like Hermione. *g* Blame it on the heat. It's too crazy hot!

A whole week with no boy was FABULOUS! I spoiled myself. It was fun and relaxing and just what I needed. *nods*
