twister.

there is a first time for everything in life. i am someone who never really feels awkward. i am someone who never has a problem taking the killing stroke against your neck. i always am quick with a comeback and quicker to get someone to accept an apology. i never feel like i am unworthy, but i am the first to claim that i have been slighted. when i feel down, it's not because i am sitting back asking "why do i deserve this," it's because i'm asking "why does this have to happen to me?" yesterday afternoon, as the cumulus clouds circled and the boys struggled in their match to topple an unlikely giant she spoke to me. i shot back. then, for the first time, ever, i wanted to eat my words. i put my foot in my mouth as she put hers on my throat in the most instantaneous game of twister in the history of the modern world. they are both still there today. i know in a matter of minutes i will see her, and she will give me the same vengeful stare that i know i deserve. however, i am someone who can work my way out of anything, and this will be no exception. just, for once, i will have learned a lesson.
