RE: The Mortality Files- A Surface Dweller's Tale
Without money or aging concerns, I could enjoy this place for some time I think- but still not forever, I definitely see a point where no matter what it would become 'meh'.
Hahaha to the hanging out with the bees in right field, that was my type of inclination too- which is why I ended up in individual, me vs. myself type sports like cross country running and downhill skiing :)
I went to my older brother's baseball games with my mom, but I just wanted to go look in the creek for snakes and such, no interest in baseball whatsoever. I ended up playing with a frisbee a lot though, I even knew a few tricks, that I could do by myself. ;)
We had a basketball hoop in our driveway and I played a lot of PIG, HORSE, and Around the World, became a decent shot and decided to join the school team one year- quickly found out that as much as I found it fun to practice shooting, it did not carry over to learning plays and getting yelled at constantly by a coach, lol
Yep, I was on a church basketball team for a minute or two. I was the only one on the court wearing black socks with my uniform, I didn't have any white sport socks, had no idea there was such a thing til then! The black socks magically prevented anyone from passing the ball to me, probably for the best.
I have always been drawn to the individuals who 'wear black socks instead of white'. They're usually the kind that you'll see walking across the lawn instead of down the sidewalk- not out of an overt rebellion either, just a natural inclination that they don't even know they're doing ;)
I still didn't want to play with balls, but as I recall, the first chance i got I insisted on WHITE sneakers and white socks so that I would look more normal, the beginnings of my life as an illusionist, I suppose.
