The Thin Pretense That Is My Social Life
Feb. 13th, 2010 11:03 pmI remember at one point I was actually quite good at bowling. Like, not competitively good, but my highest score was a 180, and I regularly averaged somewhere between 120-150, which I think is not half bad for a high school girl bowling as a hobby on the weekends. I even owned my own bowling ball, which was pretty and green and blue and very very shiny and a little too heavy for me, but I was getting rather good with it.
Tonight I bowled an 89. SO PATHETIC.
But the important thing is that I beat all of the tiny freshmen I was playing against.
Honestly, it was a lot of fun, even if it was enough strange-people-contact that I'm now completely wiped out. I really was not planning on doing Screw Your Roommate since a) I don't date and b) it's a freshman thing and I pride myself on being the obscure upperclassman no one is entirely sure actually lives in the dorm. Also Freshman Roomie and I don't know each other that well yet, so setting each other up with dates would be weird. But my Freshman Guy's roommates couldn't find an appropriate guy to set him up with, so they asked me to go with him as a friend-date, and I couldn't exactly say no and make him go alone. So bowling with the tiny freshmen it was!
And we got back early enough that I have some of the evening left to work on my Help_Haiti fic, which is entirely plotted out but not so much with the words yet, since the last three weeks' deluge of midterm papers has left me barely able to think straight, let alone write coherent narrative fiction. But I like the plot set-up that I have, and the words...will get sorted out.
