went ice skating today for first time in life with usp friends. conversations before the outing were plagued with ill premonitions.
me: those shoes have metal below them. they are knifed. friends: (27th time) they're not sharp. me: but! what if the people upon them were of- of superior mass! large impending force upon knives!! friends: (32nd time) you won't die. me: but! what if i fall? across their path!! hands and slim fragile fingers outstretched to break my fall! friends: they will only bruise, the metal is not sharp. *teeth clenching* me: what if i fall outrageously and expose my neck!!!
but i am intact with ten fingers on my keyboard, and no appendages lost. though i do have mothereffing blisters, one of which is a blister patch, which is a single blister one inch across filled with Essence of Meishi.
also, met sec 4 classmate pooi khay, who was reasonably graceful on knifed shoes, bless her wise knee length cotton socks. also also, got trashed by nine year olds who twirled and glided across my path and made my legs tangle themselves in shock more than once.
