At that time, it seemed utter chaos and confusion...how in the world did anyone know where they were, where to skate, how to avoid other people, etc? I felt that way about pubic, and then even worse that way about freestyle! Yes, freestyle was less crowded, but the skaters were better, and they were zipping around all over the ice in every direction! I stuck to my one little corner and didn't venture out of it for 45 minutes. Now, of course, I'm one of those skating around (still not zipping) with that brave look of "I belong here, too!!"

But the ice tourists are dressed in micro shorts and singlets because it is 35C+ outside! <br /><br />The hockey lads here are fine because the ones that can skate have good skills and want to skate. The annoying boys are all in rentals and gratifyingly fall over frequently. They are overawed by the real hockey guys. Love the description of the pretty girls jumping. <br /><br />It is the people with skating aids/frames that worry me. They are hopelessly unpredictable.

Take my blade and rake it across his face. <br /><br />What's worse than screaming? When hoards of people just stand there. Not moving. Socializing. umm, get off the ice if you want to chat.Qhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09452973364098812124noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5679510245284968389.post-13553617111626835092013-02-25T09:36:42.891-05:002013-02-25T09:36:42.891-05:00The hockey posses are so obnoxious!

When on earth did it become okay for people to scream when they're NOT being chased by a dangerous animal or their life is seriously threatened?Juleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18431582058496132186noreply@blogger.com
