It's more than just limping. I can't bend my back over at certain angles otherwise there's a pain that strikes my spine like a tiny lightning bolt. I hurt my tail bone while wearing worn down chucks with no traction and falling down a flight of wet granite stairs.
In actuality, the movements I make are more similar to that of a pregnant woman, but if I made a post titled "The day I became pregnant," people would get the wrong idea. Getting back to my movements.
In order to dissolve the pain my back needs to be at a 90 to 180+ degree angle with my legs. If I bend over to reach for my keys that have fallen on the ground.. I have to bend my legs first like a ballerina doing a plie exercise and, while my back is still straight, reach down for the pair of keys that would be my doom. If I happen to lean forward to look for where the keys are... *ZZZZZZZZZZAP* pain.
It seemed like fate that Ceara and I planned to a 찜질방 (jjimjilbang or sauna room) yesterday like we somehow near I'd hurt my back and need some hot, steam room action to heal my back (i.e. tail bone).
Oh, yeah, don't forget all the naked women, too~~ Seeing that kind of helps you forget you're in pain. Koreans are very conservative in terms of dressing. It's a "leg" culture in Korea.. you can show off your legs, but no boobies! Not the teensiest hint of your chest. Nothing below the neck or you're a whore. So anyways, these women walk around naked like it's nothing. When Ceara and I were heading back to the locker room to change into our clothes a women with only her underpants on was in a heated discussion with her friend on how much each one would pay for something. Thanks for blocking the aisle lady with the big, dangly boobs.
Anyways, we ended up watching Glee (liked the "Born this Way" ep better than last week's^^) and the newest episode of Community (beginning and ending were awesome, but the episode itself was meh T_T) before taking a nap.
Ended up waking up around 7pm to Ceara laughing at Colbert's stand-up on Roman Catholics and Lent.
Headed to downtown for flea market night at Kuntshalle and dinner at So, Blue.
Ended up buying some sweats and shorts in the underground shopping area leading to Kuntshalle.
Kuntshalle itself was a pretty awesome "warehouse" of fun. A bunch of artists in the Gwangju area, foreigners and Koreans alike, come together to sell their homemade products like jewelry, clothes, and styrofoam made into any outline you'd like. There was even a man who would draw your face onto a balllon (500 won if you didn't keep it, but 1,000 won = less than a dollar to take it home^^). I would have gotten myself a face balloon, but the line was too long. There was also a girl getting a tattoo in the middle of the freaking aisle. Thought it was henna at first, but nope, pretty sure it was a tat close up. Also had live no rae bang and a bar on the side. It's a place for eclectic and creative individuals to just hang out and chill. Definitely going back there again.
I just had to take a photo of the AMAZING poster at So, Blue. What better marketing than the cute innocent face of a cow marred with the eyes of a sinister man like Hannibal Lecter? ;D
The photo above does not serve it justice. For one, it's blurry; for another, the colors are off.
So, Blue has amazing sandwiches... They have REAL sandwiches with REAL pickles. Not the sweet kinds, but the yummy, salty ones! What else? Oh, and we got free orange juice. Very yummy..
Ceara and I decided to sign into their "guest book" and leave our own mark.
Concept by me, but drawing, writing, and creativity by Ceara. K-dramas: SO, original.
Other than that.. I ended the night sleeping away the pain that lingers at the end of my spine; my cursed tail bone.
I guess it means I can't participate in Sports Day at school this Wednesday *tear*
