father_peter: (Hee!)
A few weeks ago I couldn't sleep much at all and I looked terrible. Aly, for some reason now lost to the mists of time, dared me to see if I could do some exercises she does because I was in physical therapy. I think she was trying to tire me out so I could sleep. Either way...when testing my flexibility I was dismayed to find out that I am not as flexible as I once was. But I suppose having ones bones all broken will do that.




Jeans are not appropriate work out attire, but it was a spur of the moment thing.


Trying to touch the wall. Look how hard I am concentrating. I am so charming.


Ahem. Yes.


It did not end well. (it's just sparkling cider!) Those are certainly NOT cigarettes...


And the next day. Still out of it. Fantastic, yes?

Oh look! A Peter pile! That is adorable.

Pile of Peter!

I can do that now. Touch the wall. I couldn't then though. After those pictures (and actually getting sleep) I told my PT that I wanted to work on flexibility and he is lovely and compliant. Mostly he said 'this will hurt'. He didn't lie.

Poor Peter having to endure physical therapy.

But it's better than being immobilised!

Date: 2007-01-16 12:52 pm (UTC)From: [identity profile] father-peter.livejournal.com
Why yes. Yes it is. Been there. Don't ever want to be again.

Hey look! You're as flexible as me! *giggles*

Date: 2007-01-16 12:54 pm (UTC)From: [identity profile] father-peter.livejournal.com
You can work with my PT if you want! His name is Ralph and I think he likes me....which is why when he tells me to bend over I give him the look in my icon.

Date: 2007-01-16 12:56 pm (UTC)From: [identity profile] seminalsemiotic.livejournal.com
But that would require physical activity of a non-sexual kind! Still, at least if he likes you, I'm probably not his type...

Date: 2007-01-16 12:57 pm (UTC)From: [identity profile] father-peter.livejournal.com
Yes, and who wants that?!

That's true, though I can not for the life of me imagine you not being anyone's type. Did that make sense as a sentence? I'm very tired. Again.

Date: 2007-01-16 01:07 pm (UTC)From: [identity profile] seminalsemiotic.livejournal.com
You are such a darling. Fifty points to Peter! *grins*

Date: 2007-01-16 01:11 pm (UTC)From: [identity profile] father-peter.livejournal.com
Sleepy points! Excellent!

Date: 2007-01-16 12:53 pm (UTC)From: [identity profile] ghost-within.livejournal.com
Oh you look so tired. I'd forgotten. But you trying to do my stretches is adorable. Now I can't do them! I will be able to again eventually.

We do weird things when we're alone...

Date: 2007-01-16 12:55 pm (UTC)From: [identity profile] father-peter.livejournal.com
I was tired. Dratted dreams. And yes you will. Eventually.

Hey! I like those things!

Date: 2007-01-16 12:58 pm (UTC)From: [identity profile] ghost-within.livejournal.com
I like those things too, Darling.

And you know what you have to do if you want them again.

Date: 2007-01-16 12:58 pm (UTC)From: [identity profile] father-peter.livejournal.com
Not right now! Unless I want to scar my daughters for life.

Date: 2007-01-16 01:01 pm (UTC)From: [identity profile] ghost-within.livejournal.com
I didn't mean now, Silly.

Date: 2007-01-16 01:03 pm (UTC)From: [identity profile] father-peter.livejournal.com
Then yes. I am aware of your weird ultimatims.

Oddly they scare me less than Babe. He has an accent! And the farmer has no idea his animals are talking. What if they conspired against him!? What if our animals conspire against us!? Except Petey. He'd never betray me.

Date: 2007-01-16 01:05 pm (UTC)From: [identity profile] ghost-within.livejournal.com
There is no one else quite like you, Love.

Date: 2007-01-16 01:05 pm (UTC)From: [identity profile] father-peter.livejournal.com
All in all, that's probably for the best...

Date: 2007-01-16 01:28 pm (UTC)From: [identity profile] ghost-within.livejournal.com
Hardly, Peter.

Date: 2007-01-16 12:57 pm (UTC)From: [identity profile] ghost-within.livejournal.com
That's about right, yes!

Date: 2007-01-16 12:54 pm (UTC)From: [identity profile] maximumnerdage.livejournal.com
Oh. Oh dear. Peter, that's simply painful.

It's a good thing you didn't ask me to help. I'd probably hurt you more for getting into that state in the first place, broken bones or not :p

Date: 2007-01-16 12:56 pm (UTC)From: [identity profile] father-peter.livejournal.com
That is easy for a ballerina to say!

It really wasn't my fault! I was all perfectly fit and then bam. Car.

Kept you on your toes in the priesthood, did they?

Date: 2007-01-16 12:58 pm (UTC)From: [identity profile] father-peter.livejournal.com
I kept me on my toes. Sitting around for 18 hours a day is boring.

Date: 2007-01-16 01:09 pm (UTC)From: [identity profile] maximumnerdage.livejournal.com
Ah, see that's where a collection of Magic: The Gathering cards would have come in handy. Because magic and the priesthood so obviously go hand in hand.

Seriously though, well done staying fit in that situation. I'm suitably impressed.

Date: 2007-01-16 01:13 pm (UTC)From: [identity profile] father-peter.livejournal.com
Too many jokes.

It wasn't hard what with the tapdancing the Abbot made me do. I don't mean literally, though thinking back it wouldn't have surprised me.

Running up the stairs to Melk Abbey at 5 in the morning in priest robes...not easy. They're carved in to the side of a mountain and...not well.

Oooh, now you're giving me ideas for choreography. I wonder how much Vincent would kill me if I suggested he do that...

I could wear a habit! With a leotard!

Vincent the Tap-Dancing Mountain Priest. It'll take the West End by storm.

Just don't make him wear lederhosen as well.

That's just cruel.

Date: 2007-01-16 01:20 pm (UTC)From: [identity profile] maximumnerdage.livejournal.com
Oh how you tempt Darth Char...

Date: 2007-01-16 01:27 pm (UTC)From: [identity profile] father-peter.livejournal.com
As long as you are comfortable with yourself! That is what matters!

Do you have any performances coming up?

Date: 2007-01-16 01:37 pm (UTC)From: [identity profile] maximumnerdage.livejournal.com
Black leather. Red lightsaber. What's not to be comfortable with?

And in an alternate reality, I do indeed have a performance on the way. I'm Mary Vetsera in Mayerling. It's a Kenneth MacMillan... an absolutely beautiful show. You and Aly would love it!

Date: 2007-01-16 01:40 pm (UTC)From: [identity profile] father-peter.livejournal.com
Having spent years in Austria, I know all about Mayerling. You would be dancing the lead in a ballet about murder/suicide. I don't mean that in a horrible way...

We'll come see it. And congratulations on recieving that role!

Date: 2007-01-16 01:48 pm (UTC)From: [identity profile] maximumnerdage.livejournal.com
Thank you, Peter! It will be good to have someone who really knows Mayerling in the audience. Someone who can truly appreciate the grace and talent I bring to the role. I have no doubt your presence will inspire me to the greatest performance of my career to date! And have no fear, I take no offense. In fact, I heartily agree! I know the power of the Dark Side.

PETER GABRIEL KEMP!

Tomorrow for dinner you get cigarettes!

Not trying to help. Trying to mock.

Date: 2007-01-17 03:10 am (UTC)From: [identity profile] father-peter.livejournal.com
Well, in that case you're doing rather well.

Date: 2007-01-16 02:50 pm (UTC)From: [identity profile] lavannah.livejournal.com
Your father never could touch his toes.

Date: 2007-01-16 02:50 pm (UTC)From: [identity profile] father-peter.livejournal.com
Uhm...Okay. Thanks?
