so for those of you who didn't know, i'm weird. i've always had this suspicion that I was, but it wasn't truly confirmed until I came to Korea. i mean i wear shorts and t-shirts in the summer, and winter jackets in the winter...clearly weird and impractical. i like to sit in the sun and get my skin dirty (tan), i like to keep my promises, and make plans more than an hour in advance, and believe it or not i don't like raw beef, chicken, or clam intestines. but if i didn't realize it after all of these things i have now realized it because i run. yes, that's right, i run. so weird... right??? I get up and go out for a jog in the mornings wearing shorts and a tshirt in the 90 degree morning. when i run, i get followed by cars, i get stares, and yesterday i actually got applause from a group of old men.
the thing is though, when i'm running i listen to music.. and if you know me.. you know music gets me dancing. so not only do i run, i dance/run. it's a learned art and i've been practicing for years. you wriggle the top half of your body and just feel the music. if i had it my way for some songs i'd probably stop running altogether and just break out dancing, but i wouldn't want to be tooooo weird so i don't. but one of these days those koreans are going to get a real treat when i do :) oh to be weird and in korea...
in other news jon and i are headed to japan today so it may be a while before blogging takes place again!
