Re: Battles

You being here @Dreamy? From where I'm sitting that looks like success, not failure. I know it probably doesn't feel like it. But I reckon it's true 😊

 

Well!! I included on my list of NY resolutions to 'skip down the street more' - cos for some reason, skipping makes me feel very giddy! Anyway, today I was listening to drum n bass and skipping down the street, flailing my arms about like mad to the beat, and I thought... "Have I invented a new exercise? Dance-skip-running?!" 

Annnnd then I nearly ate pavement and decided no... perhaps not 🤣

Re: Battles

@Jynx you're right it doesn't feel like it. I'll take your word for it.

 

Bahaha, that would have been such a fun sight to see.  I have fun skipping regularly 😂. I always envision myself stacking it and eating the pavement, but I haven't yet 😂. I did try to leap frog jump over a pole once and forgot that I was wearing a skirt so of course it got caught on the pole and I face planted straight into the concrete 😂

Oh my goodness what a looney tunes moment @Dreamy ahaha

My best looney tunes moment was when I was trying to learn to rollerblade... was crossing a road... going too fast... car coming... had to go faster and then didn't know how to stop.... So I aimed for a telegraph pole. Cue me slamming into said telegraph pole, both arms and both legs flying up/out from under me so that when gravity grabbed me, I slid right on down the pole, scooping up a hearty batch of splinters on the way down... 🤣

If that doesn't paint the picture... I attempted to sketch it, with my totally awesome sketching skills 🙃 😝Screenshot 2025-03-22 175858.png

Re: Battles

@Jynx it really was 😂

 

Omg bahaha i can just picture it now 😂.

 

That drawing is completely accurate, I couldn't have done it better myself 😂.

 

In all seriousness though I do hope you were ok once you were able to pluck all the splinters out.

Re: Battles

Haha yes not to worry @Dreamy this was many years ago too! 

 

Ahhhh memories.... I would love to learn to rollerblade properly tho. But I think I should work on coordination first! 😂
