frog stretches and torso pain

I just came back from dance, and what a class it was! Although we only got to do the basic steps and routines, and didn't get to do any of the items, we still had to do extra painful stretches. I actually did pretty well, considering it was my first time attempting the frog stretch, and found out that I am more flexible than most of the girls in my class. The only set-backs for me were my horrid balance issues, and my shaking legs. The frog stretch is this painful position in which you keep your feet together (with your ankles on the ground at all times) and slowly stretch forward, to form a diamond with your legs, and to lay flat on the ground. The objective is to be able to gradually lower your knees onto the ground. I know my explanation is horrible, so you won't really feel the pain, but Google it if you want.
My legs and I do not get along whatsoever. They bother me so much! If I am in an uncomfortable position, they start shaking like crazy, almost like shivering. I have nerve spasms like that sometimes. Hey, everyone has spaz moments. Actually I am shivering right now. It is so freakin' cold in this basement! I need to bother my dad so that he can fix the laptop in my room, but until then, I will have to be using the computer which is old, and named Mr. Fossil (yes, I name inanimate objects), which, not to mention, has been the canvas for my lovely doodles avec my loverly dry erase markers (which will not come off anymore--hmmm...that is a problem, now isn't it? Oh well!).
Anyways, I digress.
So I just came back, and I decided to do a post, since once again, my best buddy School didn't allow me to post anything. She is a bit possessive (I might have spelled that wrong, but the spell check on my computer is not working at the moment).
I am posting some pictures of a D.I.Y that my like-a-sister-to-me-and-we-even-sometimes-look-like-siblings friend and I did, with a bunch of old, broken hair clips that she had laying around in the house. The long colorful hair clip has been made into a lovely ring for me, and the brown flower into a necklace for my friend (sorry but I have to say this---Yay! Spellcheck is working again!). As for the two butterflies, we threaded some ribbon through them, and made them into hairband slash sashes. I didn't get to take pictures of those, sorry, but I will post them as soon as I snap them. Sorry about the bad picture quality though.

  3. Tavi- THANK YOU SO MUCH for visiting my blog. You have no idea how much it means to me, especially since you are such an inspiration to me. I know I have bothered you a lot by commenting over and over again for you to check my blog out, but thanks, whether you wholeheartedly visited me, or whether you were just trying to get me to stop bugging you. Oh and thanks about the ring.

    miss karen- Thanks about the ring. And about the stretch, it may be painful, but it does feel good after a while.
