Honestly, I'm really not the kind of person to stand up infront of a large group of people and feel completely comfortable. I've always been really shy and normally would never make a fool of myself in public. But Wednesday night was an exception :) I walked into the sports center with a few of my friends where there was a table to sign up for "musical chairs." Herb went ahead and signed up, but no one else wanted to join him. So I figured, why not? I didn't have anything to lose, so I signed up also.
When it started, they had us go to the middle of the court and sit in the chairs that were arranged in a circle. But next? They gave us basketballs... Um, what? One of the girls was like "remember, this IS a basketball event." Oh great, now I get it. We just got punk'd.
So they told us that we had to dribble our basketball to the hoop, shoot a basket, and run back to hopefully get a seat. If you didn't make a basket the first time, you had to keep shooting until your ball made it through, but it definitely lowered your chances of getting a seat.
Okay so all was good, but like the 3rd time around, my basketball got stuck in the hoop. How lucky of me? Keep in mind, I'm 4'11'' and ridiculously far away from the hoop. But what could I do about it? Not much, so I just waved my hands above my head to get the point across that I couldn't reach the ball. Luckily, someone saved me from looking even more ridiculous, and smacked the ball out of the hoop.
Needless to say, I did not find a seat. But it was all in good fun, and I enjoyed stepping out of my boundaries :)
Today's words of advice: Just be yourself.
