If you're the sort of person who is looking to prom tonight and going yes, this is my time, I am made for this: more power to you, and I envy the spirit.

If you're someone going ... well, I guess I've got to go to this thing now, fear not, you're not alone. We'll find each other and stand to the side pretending to make fun of things until there's enough alcohol to join in the fun after all.




In other news, I want to organize a kickball game. Maybe even a whole tournament, if there are enough people up for it. Talk to me if you want to play, I'll get teams assigned. If you don't want to play but like to be involved, we'll need an umpire and cheerleaders, too. And a roaring crowd.

Why not just play football?

[thisismytime]

Because I want to play kickball.

does this mean i should start calling you sir?

rowans

[thisismytime]

I hadn't thought of that but now the answer is yes.

rowans

[timedout]

hmmmmmm, no. you're too thirsty for it.

[craquelure]

I'll see you on the sidelines, comrade.

My cheer experience is too many years out of date.

Your first assignment is to join a kickball team.

[thisismytime]

I know you know you could kick ass on the field.

rowans

[timedout]

okay. i'll join a kickball team. 😊

rowans

[thisismytime]

See? This won't be so bad, no matter what you were dreading.

rowans

[timedout]

i didn't say it would be one of your kickball teams.

rowans

[thisismytime]

Sure, good luck finding anything else literally anywhere around here.

[craquelure]

You know I'd be miserable participating in a team sport.

[thisismytime]

I do know this. But this particular one has moments of individual glory.

[marisoling]

i’ll play.

[thisismytime]

Knew I could count on you.

[percevoir]

I've never played kickball before but I'll give it a go

rowans

[timedout]

have you heard of the internet? it's taking the world by storm!

[craquelure]

And you think I'd be better at personal kickball glory than spraining my ankle on my first handspring in 15 years.

rowans

[thisismytime]

The wide world of internet kickball. Come on, Theo. Be a sport.

[thisismytime]

Fine, fine, enjoy being jealous in the stands instead.

[thisismytime]

It's one of the easiest to learn. That's why I picked it, anybody can jump in.

rowans

[timedout]

fine but only if you come with me and elena to the zoo tomorrow.

rowans

[thisismytime]

Is that your birthday party? That's adorable. Of course I'll come.

[craquelure]

That was where you're supposed to say "No, Sébastien, you would be a valuable addition to the cheer squad! We have healing pods now!" But perhaps kickball's the better move. Fewer expectations to smile.
