My life
The Barefoot Walk of Shame
Tue, October 23, 2007 - 11:33 AMoh the shame...
oh the embarrassment ...
and sooo many witness to the walk...
A Sunny Sunday in the Park...
I am rockin' out on my stilts... and oh my... so many tricks just clicked in that afternoon... I was catching my leg behind me, in front of me, hopping on one peg multiple times (on both sides).. kicking higher, doing cross steps, walking backwards... and even starting to lean backwards some... It was amazing... spectacular... invigorating... I was on my game like on no other day! (and I didn't even have atom pushing me,since he was wrapped up in other intrigues)... and then we decide to leave the hill and wander to a party around the gardens...
we dance our way down the street... and then... the shame... I feel something come loose!
stop at a pole... and find that I have broken my shin guard, in fact snapped it right where it meets the wood...
oh my stilts... my first pair... broken!
oh the embarrassment of walking back to atom's house in my striped socks ( no shoes!) carrying my stilts.
my poor babies!....
they will be revived... I will get them fixed and damn soon!!!!!
how very very sad for me
;-(
good thing the wonderful Kevin gave me his stash of shin guards.

I don't know any reinforcement possibilities, but they did last for 'bout 8-9 months... and according to atom it was due to my persistence in attempting spins on that day, but who knows, it may have just been there time...
yes it's a good thing that I didn't go splat... but falls just make you stronger and yes... my pouty face must have been hilarious! |

I was there and saw the whole thing. She is lying I say LYING!!!!!!! She totally ate shit in front of everyone, scrapped her knee and cried out for help like a wounded bird!
Actually that is far from the truth. She handled it like a pro I say! I was so happy when she showed me all her new tricks she was doing while I was busy helping people right next to her. The shin gaurds time was up. It had lasted for 6 - 8 months and it was time for it to go. It's plastic and strain in the same places over time will make it tear like a bedsheet and that is just what it did. Erin is a champ though, she knew what was wrong and calmly walked to a pole to investigate the problem. I just wish she fell on her butt so I could kiss it more! |
