Way to make a girl blush

[flexagon]

Weird, the last TWO updates on my Facebook timeline are totally unprovoked compliments about acro. Also, last week someone asked me if I was an acro teacher, which had never happened before (although people think I might be a yoga teacher all the time). Splutter. It's so public, there is nothing I can do but gracefully accept the compliments, and I feel conflicted about it. I'm not a superstar! ...although the circus training is definitely giving me some tricks that stand out in the acroyoga world.

I am thinking about trust, and how I bailed a couple of times on Weds night when being pitched by Heatwave ("sorry, trust issues!"), but with the Ant I was totally fine being pitched up to head height. He said how high he wanted to take it, I said yes, he caught me every single time, the end. Weirdly, we all happened to be looking over at another group just as a flyer freaked out mid-pitch and karate-kicked her base (soong, as it happens) in the face on the way down. It was kind of neat-looking, in a Matrix-y way, and also horrifying, and I think it reminded the bases that they're depending on me, too.

Ummmm, there's definitely ceiling height enough for the level of tosses I'd be comfortable with! Heck, nevers was talking about just bouncing without real tossing, which sounds like a fine place to start. :-) Or what about tiny little pop-downs from standing to cradle, like at 0:10 here?

One thing for sure, it'd be new to everyone.
