Ladies, I have done something crazy.
I have signed up to play "Adult Soccer" with the YMCA. I know. I don't know what came over me either. Something just compelled me to do it. I haven't the faintest idea how to play soccer except that you kick a ball into a goal. Beyond that? Clueless.
Tonight was our first practice/game. I was easily the oldest person there. GRRREEEAAT.
At first I wanted to curl up into fetal position and poke my eyes out with a turkey baster. I pushed through it, however, and lo and behold, I actually enjoyed myself!
Do I suck? Absolutely. I squeal and say I'm sorry and do all the annoying things beginners do when in the presence of those more experienced.
However.
I did score a goal! It was really kind of sweet. They kept trying to kick it to me and help me out, but I'd always fuck it up. Then just sort of out of luck, I got it in (Ok, so they probably let me).
I'm probably going to keep at, despite my suckitude, because I figure it's too early to back out now. If I continue to be awful, then maybe I'll re-think it. But what the hell, I don't act my age anyway, so I may as well hang out with a bunch of young-uns!

Hey, that's cool! I would be right there with you, sucking it up since I know just about as much as you did. (I assume that you know more now?)
Plus, it's a great workout, right?
That's awesome!! Good for you! I always worry that Wyatt or Dellaina will take up soccer or some sport I am completely clueless about, but more power to you for embracing something completely new! Young-uns aren't all bad.
That's awesome! I think it's great that you are doing something new. I am currently contemplating a belly dancing class. . .
