Skating - a sport not for me

Yesterday. WHEW.

I went skating with my sisters and had a blast. We were the only ones there (thankfully) and well, I'm not too good at skating. I love playing hockey but I CANT skate. Its depressing. I prefer large skating rinks when I do go skating so I have a long way before I have to turn... Lol. So this outdoor rink we went to was the size of two hockey rinks right beside each other and so they had four nets. Pretty much one big square. My mom allowed me to borrow her skates wish was an ok idea. The bad thing about them is that they have toe picks... Anyway, there I was, thinking how good I was at skating, and gliding around so gracefully. I felt like bird. I decided to stop at the hockey net and wait for my sister to catch up. Faster....Faster... I finally got to the hockey net but not in a friendly manner. About two feet away from it, I positioned my feet terribly and my right skate's pick went into the ice. I went flying into the net hitting my neck/throat against the back crossbar and hitting my left knee against the side bar. OUCH. That was just the beginning. After that I fell over and over and over again!! Smashing my knee, my shoulder, my bottom, and my hips. The best part was every time I fell, my sisters saw how I fell (the stupidest ways to fall) and they laughed their heads off, which obviously made me laugh. Here's the top five stupidest ways I fell on ice and made myself look like a fool:

#1 - Slip on pick. Knees go forward and you kneel on ice. Back of blade goes into your thigh. Sudden alarm of pain. You burst forward to get relieved of this pain and land on your face. Sisters laugh.

#2 - Making a beautiful drawing in the shallow layer of freshly fallen snow. Trip over your pick. Fall on your side. Ruin your drawing. Sisters laugh.

#3 - Swinging arms around franticly because you can't gracefully enough to put hands at side. Think you are a pro. Put your hands in pocket. Thinking you are cool. Gracefully skating. Realize you can't stop without franticly waving your hands around like an idiot. Decide your pride is more important then your safety. Then you realize: its not. Into a snow bank, face first. Sisters laugh.

#4 - You think you are a beautiful figure skater, around in a circle you go. Doing brilliant spins and twists. You place you left foot behind your right, your sisters already start laughing at you. You toss your head high. They watch as you swiftly mess up and you trip on the ice and swing your arms as if there will be some invisible person to grab them. No one. You fall on your back/bottom. Sisters laugh.

#5 - Skating gracefully and at a speedy pace. Look over at sisters who are talking to each other in middle of rink, not moving. You have an evil thought. You keep skating around the rink, faster and faster. Do an amazing sharp turn and skate straight on closer and closer to your sisters. Faster and WHAM. Skate into sisters and you all fall down...................... You laugh.

 Yea that's me.
