Do I have a wedgie? Who invented liquid soap anyway? Has it been three seconds yet? Or does it have to be four? Wait, where am I?........

All I ever think about are these two things (1) is leg above head, and (2) don't let this be like the time I fell on my chin as a teenager, when I was trying to impress some hockey kid with my (non) magnificent spiral

(he at least came over to check on me after my fall)

Yeah, they're usually where I do my best and most random thinking. I think I get bored kind of easily maybe?

*Looks around* good, no one's in my way. *pushes off for spiral.* OH GOD, NOW THERE IS. *moves somewhere else*

from here, there are two ways it can go. first would be repeating the whole process, second...

*looks around again* GOod, no one there. *looks up at the people looking down the mall balcony. *God I hope I dont fall splat on my face. *pushes of for spiral*

if that is the case, it happens in either of two:

~I get the spiral right
~I trip on my toepick

now during the spiral... it's "don't fall over... yeah, now move to your outside edge.... still not enough"haha

B*gg*r it? That's HYSTERICAL! I love the english-isms but that ones particularly good.

and honestly, I think I'd rather throw up than faint on the ice. Fainting hurts you, throwing up just hurts everyone AROUND you.....
