Skating

so, on friday me and a bunch of m class mates from my old school had this sort of "reunion" thing at a local skating rink! oh my gosh it was soooo fun! i love to see all of my friends, but it was also fun to have something to do with them. so i had never been roller blading before, so it was quite the experience! i am sure that i provided quite the entertainment for my friends! and amazingly enough i only fell down TWO times. yess, you read that correctly, i, kendee, grace of all graces, only fell down TWICE will on a little tiny row owheels!! amazing i know!! i'll tell you the stories of me falling. the first time i fell i was skating with my friend, kelli and i rolled up to her and said, "hey i am getting a little better"
then kelli was like "yeah, all you just have to kind of center your body."
i replied with a "ya right, my body hasnt been centered a day in my life."
then directly after that statement i just crumpled into a pile on the floor, which really really hurt. i wasnt even shaking! then, plop, i was down!

the second time i fell down was towards the end of our skating trip. the whole time i was skating i was thinking that it felt alot like skiing to blade. because your feet are strapped into these boots and your feet are just going straight sort of. well, also when you learn to ski they teach you to stop by turning your toes in quickly, with some force obviously, and you stop. well let me just tell you, from experience, that does not work! instead of coming to a nice peaceful stop you fall down in a very pretzel-like way. also landing with a great amount of force on your knee. well, i never bruise. the only really good bruises i remember having came from a softball in my face and some other time i tripped. well i have this big old bruise on my knee from my lovely fall! i also somehow managed to get a nice one on my thigh. i dont know how that got there. probably from fall onto the break. i dont know, it just appeared! so anyway, it was sooo much fun and even though i stink at roller blading, it was a blast!
