i bought a basketball! a black one with neon orange stripes. it's sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeet. i'm a decent shot on a campground, one man goal typa game. i can't shoot fast and i can't play in a game b/c everyone can block me. i'm fast though, when i play defense... i can't block, but i'm fast for intimidating factor. when all else fails, i scream. that happened a couple of weeks ago. i was playing my favorite game with one dude. i shoot, if i miss, i let you shoot and i get it back when you miss... then some other boys came... somehow, they started a real game on my one-man court. i decided to just play defense.... the whole time.... i wasn't on a team, i just ran around and kept up with them. at one point two bigguns ended up battling it out and somehow i ended up under the goal, right where they were charging. i was trapped. i screamed like a little girl.
he missed.
i went and sat down.
and, sipped some wine.

oh, i can't play in a real game...i can't even shoot when people are watching.i'm slowly working on that "under pressure" gig. well, i do fine under pressure. it's the spotlight gig that strangles me.
