I went to Bikram Yoga last night, for the first time. It was a good way to pass the time whilst getting some good stretching in. I am quite stiff all over today. It’s been a while since that’s happened but it still feels good!
The thing with Bikram yoga is you do yoga in a heated room for 90 minutes. The positions are different to the usual Hatha yoga (no downward facing dog and all that) but they still work. The heat is bearable and you can almost imagine you’re on a beach in Thailand (without the sand and cocktails).
I was sitting outside waiting for the class to start, with Phillygirl, and guess what!? I saw an ex! Now this in itself is not a new thing. They are EVERYWHERE!!
I would generally expect to bump into exes at the gym, beer fest or at a bar, not so much a yoga studio. And certainly not this ex! We had a rather intense relationship, on and off for about 4 years, starting in Std 9. We alternated between being in a relationship and being friends. Eventually we lost contact. He played rugby, drank, smoked and generally got into trouble all the time. Now he does yoga everyday, gave up ALL the bad habits and is probably a vegetarian as well. WTF??
But this all brings me to the question…. Why the hell are my exes everywhere? The simple answer would be “Because there are so many!”. But seriously! WHY!!?? Whenever I go anywhere, I have to scope out the crowd to see if I need to avoid anyone. It gets quite tiring. And my neck is getting sore….
I think they should all be shipped off to an island. Though to be honest, a good portion are already on one (yay the British Isles!). A vast majority of them should be married with kids and staying home or doing couple stuff like hanging out with other couples, at braais and the like. They should NOT be out socialising in my areas and social circles.
So if you’re an ex of mine, off to the island you go!!

mmm...very interesting. Up until fairly recently, if I had encountered my ex I would have been tempted to run him over with my car. However, anger management has done much for me in this field I must admit - I would now just wave from accross the street or so.
I like your island idea though - it's got real potential. :-)
Oooh, I just had a terrible thought ... all those ex's on an island discussing me :P It's more of a horror than occasionally bumping into them !!
That may be true... they never have anything nice to say :-) and they can make comparisons... Ugh!
