Falling...

I don't know what it is,
but I am prone to
FALLING.
All through my life,
I have had the most
embarrassing falling stories.
Tonight I was able to add to the list.
Let me explain.
I am on a
BLIND DATE
(by the way, I hate blind dates),
and the activity is going to
CLASSIC SKATING.
(Oh, and I also hate classic skating).
There are tons of people
who show up, mostly his friends,
and I know NO ONE.
Keep in mind this is a blind date.
So, I am skating along by myself
getting the hang of things,
and I see everyone in the group
talking in a big circle.
So, I want to join in and know
what is going on.
Everyone turns to see me coming,
and I put on my brakes to slow down.
Bad idea.
I completely lose my balance
and fall on my butt and
smack my head on the ground.
WOW. Suuuper cool of me right?
Oh and on the way down,
I kicked some old guy sitting on this bench.
To top it off, everyone was watching me
and no one asked if I was alright
because they felt so awkward
and no one knew me.
Oh, and this was the BEGINNING
of the suuuper awesome
BLIND DATE.
Ya, didn't go too well.
I hate blind dates.
