Balls
So there I was, playing basketball with strangers and having fun. We were playing 5 on 5 outside on concrete with the wind blowing all of our shots astray. The game was pretty bad, lots of turnovers and lost of fast breaks/missed lay-ups/transition fast-breaks/transition missed layups aaaaand repeat...
About halfway through the second game I am going long on a fast break and the ball gets lobbed over everyone to me. There is another guy on my team coming to get it too, and collides his boney-ass knee into my nearly-as-boney shin. Didn't even see him. So I sit for a while, not really walking so much. Decide it is time to pack up and go play some Camelot.
As I'm hobbling over towards my car, favoring my right leg heavily, I walk by two tennis courts that are fenced off when BAM! a flash of yellow from out of nowhere hits my right in the corner of my eye. My glasses crumble down my face and I catch them in my shirt. I yell out "DAMN!" instinctively and try and look around to see what hit me. I had no idea where it came from, but then two kids came running over from the tennis courts and asked if I was alright. I looked down and the frames of my glasses were broken and one of the lenses was missing, and there was no way it could be put back in seeing how the frames were broken.
After some indirect swearing in front of a couple of 12-year olds to make myself feel better I sort of incoherently say that it isn't the kid's fault, hell I hit so many balls over the fence when I played tennis it should have happened to me. I got his number just in case the bill is super-high and my insurance won't cover it, but I'm not sure if I want to even deal with it, it definately wasn't his fault, it was the first time the kid had even played tennis.
So I drove home with one lens and my left eye squinting to see, which was fun. Then hopped in the shower and realized my face just below my eye that got hit was cut, because of the stinging water. Just a little baby scratch though, nothing bad. Yay for me.
oh, and i finished Ender's Game. Good book! Finally realized it about three lines before they gave it away. Go super-sonic psycic powers!!!....
