AWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW.

So "related videos" from the Dragostea ballet led me eventually to rhythmic gymnastics. I'd seen some individual routines before, but never even knew there were group routines. And OH MY GOD, this is AMAZING. There are other ones on YT with the ribbons which are awesome too, but the Italian team here. Whoa.

Dear Body,

Over the years, you've come up with more and more things to be allergic to. Don't most people work the opposite way, with allergies in childhood lessening as they grow? First it was ragweed and other pollens, then bananas and canteloupe, then cats, then essentially every scent ever that could be used in soap, and now perhaps the most unusual one, bandage adhesive. Bandaids? Seriously? Come on. It's bad enough that I have a cut on my heel; now I have a rectangle of hives all around it after wearing a bandaid for much of the day. How is this increasingly overwrought immune response useful for anything?

Itchily yours,
Me

I have far too many articles on Victorian lit to slog through tonight. Boooo.
