Got first story from Papa -- hooray!
**********
Lenin Museum Excursion - almost all day - bit of a drive, started watching South Pacific
Got to meeting spot 30 min early; rode the metro some again
*********
Got back, went to Doctor's office for physical etc. for LIfe Insurance.
Now, this next part is a little personal... But it was damn funny, so I'm going to share it.
I apparently surprised my Doctor. *Really* surprised him.
You see, in every physical, as I'm sure you all know, there will come a point when the doctor asks you if you are sexually active. (For girls this is important, because it determines whether they say you need to see a gynecologist, etc. etc. etc.)
When that time came, I answered, "No." -- And my doctor just *stopped.* And looked at me.
I looked right back at him, with a, "Is there a problem with that?" sort of look, and he collected himself, saying, "Oh, it's fine, it's ok! ... It's just that most girls your age are... Not the same."
Ha ha ha -- I'm pretty sure I almost made him blush. Poor guy, I caught him totally off guard.
Apparently, I also reminded him very much of his daughter. She also was studying abroad, away from home and supervision, etc. -- so I think it was something of a relief for him to hear another girl, the same age as his own, say she wasn't off playing with boys. Ha ha ha.
**********
Off for lesson with Hans Gelke -- Probably the Most vulgar lesson I've ever sat in on, for about 10-15 minutes. The "Balls" references, goodness Gracious.
It all started when Hans asked the class how they knew if they'd activated their lower centers. Eventually he said, "It's easy for the guys -- you just pick your balls up!"
This then carried into, one needs to have one's energy and weight into the feet and into the floor when dancing, and then the idea became, "Your balls should be in your feet! When you are dancing, you should be painting a picture on the floor with your balls! When you finish, you should look down and see a Picasso!"
I am not joking -- those are word-for-word quotes!! And of course, I get it right away -- because Hans is teaching in English, too -- and am laughing out of shock and surprise. Some of the Russians get it right away, others were confused until their friends explained it to them, and then there was Vitaly. Somehow or other, he and his partner wound up standing in front of where I was sitting during this lesson -- and every time Hans made one of his references, Vitaly kept turning 'round to look at me…! For the life of me, I don't know why! Maybe it's because he just wanted to see my reaction -- knowing that I'm a fluent English speaker -- but it was twice as embarrassing for me! I kept thinking, "Why are you looking at meeee??"
Eventually, everyone collected themselves, "Okay -- it's time to be serious now!" -- and the lesson continued.
**********
Thought I was going to watch South Pacific with Nastëna tonight, but nope! -- We talked about boobs on the Metro on the way home. *laughs*
Sharing sweets, etc. on the way to/in the Metro.
Finished watching South Pacific myself. -- Songs all stuck in my head.
