Wiggle room

[clevermanka]

Regarding yesterday's post about the awesome SCIENCE WOMEN I wanted to point out that squeezing through a tiny space is not that big of a deal if you're moderately flexible and not claustrophobic. The squeeze they were talking about was seven inches at the smallest point, not seven inches in diameter width! I mean width. The hole was irregular, as you could see in the video. I can easily fit through a space that's nine inches at the narrowest point and I am not a small girl.



It just takes a bit of wiggling. And determination.

I think I've figured out the theme for the collage I'll be putting on my 2014 planner. This year's was Rick Genest. Next year will feature shirtess Tom Hiddleston. Swear to god, at this point I don't care if the movie is absolute crap. I would pay my ticket price just to stare at a still of that image on the big screen for two hours.



My body wasn't sure it was ready for last night's squat session, but we made it through! Sixty pounds was a lot heavier than fifty-five, let me tell you. On the fourth set I had to re-rack the bar and rest for a couple breaths to finish the last of both types (front and back squats). My legs were Jell-O afterward, but they're not too bad today. Maybe it'll hit tomorrow. Or maybe they're acclimating. That would be fantastic.

Check out this dog.

OMG that dog. <3333

That dog is seriously getting me through today.

[seascribe.livejournal.com]

I would like to cuddle and play fetch with it.

I wondered why people thought of it as diameter rather than width.

You know that we are all going to see what width of a space we can fit through now, LOL? I couldn't do your cabinet trick at all.

IIRC you can do that weird thing with flipping a cane completely over your body from front to back holding on with both hands.
I swear you can dislocate your bones, LOL.

Or you just have tiny bones.
(you do, you know!)

Width! Width! That's what I meant. Thanks.

I do have tiny bones, and yes, I'm flexible and fearless about getting stuck. That helps, for sure. But it's not like the women scientists were freakishly small is my point, here. I mean, I can't fold up my hips like I can fold up my shoulders!

Oh, and: You know that we are all going to see what width of a space we can fit through now, LOL?

PICS! PICS!

I saw that post where someone tried to say that they all must have been tiny, and I thought the same thing.. not *tiny*.. just small enough or flexible enough, right!

I'll see if I can fit behind the water heater, that's a small enough squeeze for comparison. I dunno, I had a panic attack in an MRI, so I'm not all that willing to try a cupboard.
I do know from experience that I'd have to have a spot a bit wider to wriggle up or down to, or endure a painful and slowly self-inflicted mammogram.
Like a cat decides if he can fit by his whiskers, it's my boobs that determine my willingness to squeeze into an opening, haha!

Ha! Yes, and mine is my ass.

Why you decided to repeatedly take me to task over this comment, I don't know and, frankly, I don't care. All I know it that it was uncalled for and downright nasty.

FYI, Berger,who led the expedition called for "tiny and small, specialised cavers and spelunkers with excellent archaeological, palaeontological and excavation skills".

[clevermanka.livejournal.com]

I have no fucking clue what you're talking about.

[msmitti.livejournal.com]

While I am curious what body part would act as my whiskers, I am claustrophobic so I don't think I'll be finding out.

I have decided I have a very nice ass though. :)

[clevermanka.livejournal.com]

YOU DO! You kind of have a nice everything, hon. Hot Body Teasley, that's what we call you when you can't hear us. =D

[msmitti.livejournal.com]

You just made my YEAR!

I don't know what I could squoosh into, but that photo of you is adorable like crazy.

[clevermanka.livejournal.com]

Whee! Thanks. NGL, I was pretty smug about worming my way into that so easily. Also, my hair looked shockingly good, considering the various circumstances.

[kazoogrrl.livejournal.com]

Agreed!

[clevermanka.livejournal.com]

Aw, thanks!

[sherwood21.livejournal.com]

That dog is bringing me joy today. Thank you. :)

[clevermanka.livejournal.com]

Oh man, THAT DOG.

[mckitterick.livejournal.com]

THAT DOG OMG

[kazoogrrl.livejournal.com]

Holy crap the TH pic just blew my . . . productivity for the day. Wish I could keep it up on my computer screen but I work in a cattle pen.

*dithers about for a bit*

Yeah, that movie could be 90 minutes of him and Tilda Swinton sitting in chairs smoking cigarettes and I'd be perfectly happy. Actually, that sounds like a GREAT idea.

Have you seen this gifset (http://adrienlooks.tumblr.com/post/67757003091/gropingyourmuse-x-i-was-ambivalent-about) yet?

[kazoogrrl.livejournal.com]

I just had to put down my dinner to watch it for a little while.

[clevermanka.livejournal.com]

SERIOUSLY

[aprilstarchild.livejournal.com]

If I couldn't get out I'd get panicky as hell. I'm sure I could fit into any number of tiny spaces...but I won't!

Also, I am that dog.

[clevermanka.livejournal.com]

Ha ha ha ha! Yes, I am that dog occasionally, but probably not as often as you are.

[nottygypsy.livejournal.com]

That pic made me think, I'd get IN, but then get all Pooh Bear about getting out.

Also that dog!

[clevermanka.livejournal.com]

Getting out was actually easier because my top half was a little more free to wiggle about.

LIKE THAT DOG IS FREE TO WIGGLE ABOUT!
