Super-Clutz

At the basketball game tonight, (SUU was playing basketball...I was playing the trumpet in the pep band) I was remembering my previous experience at a basketball game about a month ago in which I had participated in one of those little relays that they do during the thirty second time-outs. I was up against another girl who was in the pep band and the task was to run from the free-throw line back to the boundary, then to the half-court line back to the boundary, then to the free-throw line at the other side of the court back to the boundary: your basic ladder for those that know about basketball drills. Anyway, I was running in bare feet because I had not brought shoes that I could (or should) run in. On the home stretch, the last run back to the boundary from the free-throw line at the other side of the court, I gracefully........managed to run faster than my feet could handle (if that's even possible) and ended up falling on the ground in front of the entire Centrum which was semi-full of spectators. It was definitely the best biff of my life, and I was rather disappointed that the band had been playing at the time and not all of them had seen me eat it on the court. This very public spill also resulted in one of the best looking bruises of my life. Maybe it's just me,but I like to have battle scars to show people when they haven't had the privilege of witnessing me make a fool of myself.
