I wish I could twirl on street signs! Here where I live, the posts are made differently, so it's not a smooth, round pole. *pout*
For me it's more terminology and forgetting that everyone doesn't know what I'm talking about. I was talking with a friend on IM last night and he asked me what was new, and I started to say that my wrist was bothering me from practicing my half-handspring mount to butterfly the night before and that my skin's grip has been shot the past few days so I couldn't practice my superman and etc. etc. I stopped myself because I realized he would have no idea what I was talking about... lol.
But other than that, whenever I see something even remotely resembling a pole I wonder how big around it must be (50mm? 45 maybe??) and what it's made out of, and what the grip is like.
Oh, and I'm one of those people who gets obsessed with the same song for like a week and just listen to it over and over and over and over again... well, when I'm at work mulling the song of the week over in my head, I think up what I would do on the pole and find myself starting to move more dance-y like. Picture this: wearing scrubs, a white apron, a hairnet, and yellow dish washing gloves; standing at a stainless steel counter next to a dishwasher and a hose washing dishes. When I sidestep to the dishwasher, I'm pointing my toes and picking my leg up gracefully instead of sliding it along the floor, etc. etc. I haven't done any twirls or anything yet, but I'm waiting for someone to give me the crooked eyebrow one of these days! 😂
