Plunging In!
Another happy Thursday in the library! I am trying to make a policy of just going blah blah blah and editing later, because if I pussyfoot around and try to get my thoughts in order before I write anything, I will never write anything. Ever.
I've just come (well, an hour ago) from Omar/Capitao's capoeira class. He gave us some time to play at the end, and much to my disappointment I was the only girl who would enter the roda (circle). Seriously, ladies, I know it is scary and you will probably look like a tool,* but so do the boys and they seem to be having fun, don't they?
Dems debate tonight! Do you think Barry's going to bring his fangs, or be classy and Kennedy-esque? Is Hillary going to do something that causes debate about her Identity As A Woman? (Don't be silly, of course she is! Heaven forbid we judge her on her merits, rather than devoting ourselves to dissecting her gender presentation.)
*Full disclosure: I looked like a tool.

I swear, everytime I ever went into the roda, I forgot everything I'd learned. It became esquiva, au, meia lua de compasso, armada and jinga in a variety of combinations until someone let me out of the circle. I loved training but honestly hated going in the roda. You are braver than I :)
