Day 15: Go ahead....just laugh.

Countdown to Fort Worth: Day 15

Go Ahead....just Laugh.

This post is really just a post to throw myself under the bus and for you to laugh.

While most of you have been bundled up in layers of clothes and sitting by your fireplaces, I have been in shorts and a tank top in San Diego's freak 85 degree weather. Yesterday was the first day of this hot weather, so I decided it was a good idea to ride my skateboard to the bay and get some reading done. I grabbed my books, a towel, threw on my bather, and headed out the door with my skateboard in hand. It all started out great. The wind whisping through my golden locks, shades on, me pretending that I'm really bad ass, etc etc. I get to the intersection where I needed to turn left and a car was coming so I started to slow down thinking that they would just go straight through the intersection. Well they decided to turn on their turn signal last second, which means that we could both turn at the same time. Or ideally, that's what should have happened. In the midst of the turning and slowing and then speeding up and one foot on and off and balance struggling and car turning and me in the smack dang middle of the intersection....for lack of a better phrase - I hate shit. Flat out on my bootay. In the middle of the intersection. I sat there on my butt and just watched my skateboard roll all the way to the other side until it smacked into the curb. I tried to ignore the people walking and biking past me. Mostly because I knew their laughter would only bring my ego down another 1000 points. Luckily I was not hurt. Just some scraped palms. So I swallowed by pride, walked to my board, and continued down the hill to the Bay. Needless to say I was a bit nervous to get back on my board when I went home.

Lesson to be learned...well, I guess there really isnt one except don't fall in the middle of an intersection because you'll look like an idiot. At least I can laugh at myself! (secretly I'm still embarrassed)...
