Volleyball

[dr4b]

Oh yeah, tonight was a lot of fun. My overhand serve was ON, surprisingly enough, but I was serving with a fist instead of an open hand. Still, it was sort of fun, because basically nobody plays me for being able to serve, so when I actually have a whole evening of serving well, it throws them all through a loop.

Though for a while I basically couldn't HIT to save my life -- I kept hitting the ball out to the left side for some reason. Some twisty-wrist thing. Not sure I know what was wrong. Though at one point I had this awesomely funny hit where I literally hit it about a foot past the back line in the middle. Which would have sucked, if Asian Nick hadn't been standing RIGHT THERE and couldn't duck out of the way in time, so it hit him in the head. Hilarity ensued.

Also, we had a max of like 14 people there, which was also good, less overcrowding. And dgr and georgejas were there, so yay! I always seem to have more fun when they are at volleyball.

The only bad part is that I dived for a ball in my first ten minutes there and bruised/skinned my left knee, but I didn't want to sit out and get ice or anything since I'd just arrived, so I just played through the pain, and now I have this bump and an ugly purple scar there.

heh. i think there should be a new sign to indicate "touch!" where you pat yourself on the head instead of rubbing your fingers together. hee hee hee. :-)

You know, qualifying Nick as "Asian Nick" only confuses me more. :-)

Well, the problem is that I don't actually know how to spell his last name (it's either Chao, Chow, etc), and we do have two Nicks -- Asian Nick and Blonde Nick. We also have two Chrises and three Johns, and if Annoying George hadn't moved away and Bald Dan hadn't left the gym we'd even have two Georges and two Dans now. No overlap on female names whatsoever though.

But, I am fairly sure I didn't hit you in the head with a volleyball last night.

Yeah, I don't remember you hitting me, but you never know with head wounds.
