30th Chance
It was fun getting to skate with everyone yesterday. Momoshiro-kun managed to get a lot of people to agree to join in, so it was a pretty big gathering. I'm glad so many people decided to come. It made things that much more fun having a large group like that.
I ended up going to get myself new skates for the occasion. I needed them anyway, since my old pair had gotten a bit too small and was worn out anyhow, but I had an excuse to finally get around to doing it. Echi--...Ryoma-kun I'm still not used to calling him that came with me since he wanted to get a pair for himself also. There's this great shop here in Saitama that specializes in making ice skates (they make roller blades and traditional roller skates also) and they can custom make a pair specifically fitted for your feet. I've been getting my skates from them for years and they always do a wonderful job. I like my new ones as well. They asked me if I wanted to make them the same color as usual, and because I guess I continue to feel some pride and now some nostalgia, I said yes. Midoriyama Green. Because of the business myself and my classmates brought to the place, they ended up making a fabric color to match the shade of our uniforms.
When we got there and met up with everyone, Ryoma-kun was a little unsteady on his skates at first, but he got used to them soon enough. I think I might've been moving about a bit too quickly for him, though. He seemed to be having trouble keeping up with me at times. I guess I tend to be overly enthusiastic when it comes to ice skating. I do enjoy it a lot and I try to skate whenever I get the chance. Maybe that was why Ryoma-kun asked if I could do any of the things Fuji-san was doing. Strange thing to ask, seeing as they were simple moves. But even so, I said I could and so I did a Walley before doubling into an Axel. For some reason, I think Momoshiro-kun and Kamio-kun were surprised by it. I didn't see what the big deal was, though. They're pretty easy moves to make. Don't they know how to do them? But then again, from the looks of it, when Kamio-kun tried something similar, the answer is apparently "no". Well, maybe it's because they're still relatively unfamiliar with ice skating. I'd think anyone who skates enough can do such things.
But all of it was fun! And I look forward to any other outings like that that we might have together.
[OOC: Kiraku seems rather oblivious of the fact that normal people can't pull those moves. >>;]
