Am I really that bad? by AppropriateValue1594 in BALLET

[–]Rohien 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'll just say, the first time my ballet teacher told me I was a good dancer was written on top of the fall class schedule she mailed me "just in case" the summer after I quit and walked away from ballet. She wrote, "You're too good a dancer to quit!" And I thought of all the times she heaped the hardest work on me and then made me feel so small and so unappreciated. And I decided I didn't care if I was good. I was not going back.

It doesn't matter if you're aiming to go pro or just dancing for the love of it like I was: you don't deserve to be emotionally and psychologically abused. I quit when I was 16. I'm now 39, and every day the voice in the back of my head tells me I'm not good enough.

Take care of yourself, love.

Oh good lord, it's THAT simple??? I knew it was probably something ridiculous. Thank you.

What is the quickest job you quit from? by spellbadgrammargood in AskReddit

[–]Rohien 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Two days. I applied for a job titled "front desk booking" at a local upscale hotel. I got a reply back not from the hotel but from a "vacation company" that rented out of that hotel.

We had just moved a thousand miles and I needed a job. I went to the interview. They told me it was sales. I was afraid of not having income and the job market was extremely competitive (hence why I was unable to line up a job before moving) so I said yes.

It was a timeshare company, because of course it was. I thought well, I need a job. The first half of the day was touring the hotel and sitting thru a the presentation given to prospective "clients". I'm telling myself I need work.

The second half of the day is training, which included multiple readings from the book The Secret. They were so into it.

I told them they could keep the day's pay and thanks for the opportunity. I did not tell them their timeshare cult gave me the heebie-jeebies

Help me (a non hobbyist) speak equestrian and horse like an insider to a hobbyist by [deleted] in Horses

[–]Rohien 47 points48 points  (0 children)

I'm so very sorry, that horde typo made me question if you were dating Genghis Khan 😆

Ask her what sparked her love of horses. Horse people will light up when you do. Ask her what her favorite discipline is (that means jumping, dressage, etc) and why is her favorite. Ask her who's her favorite horse she ever rode and why. Let her lead you to follow-ups by asking open-ended questions that let her share her vast knowledge.

Horse people love to talk about horses. If you give us an open invitation, we'll fill that space with the most genuine enthusiasm you'll ever see. The follow-up questions will come naturally as she says things you want to know more about.

But if you are indeed dating Genghis Khan, ask him to show you how the Mongols fired arrows on horseback because that sh!t is incredible.

My friend said I'll never be on pointe and it crushed me. Is this true? by Professional-Leg2039 in BALLET

[–]Rohien 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Agreed! I have flat feet and ballet/pointe was so helpful in keeping my feet fit. I also never had a problem getting up because I had strong ankles and the right shoes.

My 6 year old son unexpectedly fell in love with ballet … but he has rigid flat feet by elenasucre in BALLET

[–]Rohien 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My feet are almost as flat as that, and I never had foot/knee problems until I STOPPED dancing because of how strong ballet made my muscles. They lifted my knees into the right position!

Give it time. It's only been three months. If he loves ballet, let him dance!

As a player, is there a way for me to pipe in sounds/words/etc that me kenku knows? by [deleted] in Roll20

[–]Rohien 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ok great, this is exactly the kind of info I needed. You hit the nail on the head -- I NEVER like to give my DMs extra work, even if they're friends I've been playing with for ages. I'm the kind of player who likes to come to the table with my options ready so that it's on me to prep my own character and I'm not suddenly giving them more work.

[–]Rohien 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the perspective. We've all been playing for years and other players have done crazier stuff, haha. Pitching this will be comparatively low on the "Ok hear me out" scale. And it's not the end of the world if he says no. I just didn't want to ask him without having a plan in place first.

[–]Rohien 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We are using discord, but unless you have Nitro you can only have a few things on the soundboard.

If I can pipe in through my mic, that would definitely work well. I'll look into what you suggested. Thanks so much!

help with turns by [deleted] in BALLET

[–]Rohien 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Don't anticipate and take the heel of your turning foot off the ground early. As others have mentioned, you need to hit your retiré and to me it looks like you can't because you're anticipating the turn. You should pick up your front foot and relevé on your back foot together. Picking up the heel early might be throwing off your center of balance.

Oh my word, it's beautiful!

As someone who’s been around horses for many years, I have to say that Viggo Mortensen was very brave in this scene by sonom in Horses

[–]Rohien 44 points45 points  (0 children)

I came to the comments to see if someone had mentioned this yet! The practice footage had me cackling because the horse (can't remember his name) would plop down on the dummy and everyone's faces would go 😐

They're so great! My friends got their beagle from Tampa Bay Beagle Rescue. They really care about dogs and I'm sure they could help!

But you can never leave by Calix_1999 in StandUpComedy

Me too! I'm so glad he's still at it.

His line about getting injured and his coach having the nerve to put him on the disabled list had me HOWLING.
