Our Junior High band went ice-skating today.
My car got there before the bus, so we had to wait in the freezing cold rink and couldn't get our skates yet. Then Plard came and I was the second to get my skates. Nikki and I went a lap. It was kinda hard to get used to.
We pretty much had the whole rink to ourselves.Then eventually there were only ten of us left on the rink and everyone was sitting and eating chips they got from the machines. Nikki and I taught Grizzly to skate. Kind of. At one point Nikki was holding one side of Grizzly's jacket (it was off), I had the other side, and Grizzly was in the middle and we were pulling her, we let go and she was all "AAAAAUGH!!!!!!!!!!" and fell. Oops.
Then Grizzly and I were trying to figure out who was wearing the black hoodie in front of us. We thought it was Johnny, but he didn't skate. So we were watching him skate at the other end, when suddenly he slipped, grabbed onto the side, and then slipped at 45-degree angle down. It was hilarious, the way it looked. And Grizzly, once again a genius, starts cracking up REALLY REALLY loudly. I hope he didn't hear. I would say who it was, but he probably wouldn't like it, so I won't.
Then there was this girl in black and purple who was amazing. The more I watched, the more she looked familiar. She was my orchestra standpartner last year! So she came over and was like, "Are you in the youth orchestra?"
"Yeah, isn't your name Corny?"
"Yeah! That's me!"
And so her, Nikki, and I skated laps around (my ankles were hurting) and talked about... skating, I guess. Asked her questions, you know... then she started practicing again. She skates at least an hour six times a week. Wow.
And then I had to leave to go to tryouts.
That's it.
