That's good. A nice change from the last few days.

I haven't actually done anything yet. I'm procrastinating on several pieces of homework and test revision.

Well, it was still bad. . . .and at actually rather disturbing at some points.
*cringes*
It could be worse.

XD Just relaxing?

[o0_flying high_0o]

*gives tea* Cringe-worthy does not sound fun, especially on top of everything else.

XD Yep. Relaxing is just nice sometimes.

*nods*
It was very. . . .. . well, disturbing.

*nods*
Relaxing is very nice.

*was going to just relax this weekend*
Within 5 minutes of deciding that I ended up entering a final tournament, and filling up my entire weekend. -sigh-

[o0_flying high_0o]

What's the tournament for?

[Lamp Post]

Basketball.

'Tis the end of Summer League.

Thankfully it's not double elimination, so. . .I should only be playing on game, I believe.

[o0_flying high_0o]

Well that should still be fun. How long have you been playing for?

I'd love to be able to play, it just requires hand-eye coordination beyond my capabilities. So I play netball badly instead.

[Lamp Post]

Uh. . . . 6-7 years? Maybe-ish?
A good while, anyway.

I haven't played netball, but I've talked to some people in NZ who are going to teach me, and play a game or two. xD

[o0_flying high_0o]

Netball's fun. The basics are similar, just no bouncing the ball, and you have to keep a certain distance from someone if they've got the ball, which are the rules most basketballers forget.

*cough* and Australia is much better than NZ at netball*cough*

[Lamp Post]

XD

Yeah, I think the rule for b-ball is 3 feet, or so. . . .which, never happens, unless you take a charge or something and the person is really oblivious. *lovs taking charges*

No kidding. The posts in b-ball, hand check another, push/shove another out of the key, and are 7/10 of the time basically sitting on another, or something of the like.

*laughs* Oh, of course. They've got a better rugby team, imao, though.

[o0_flying high_0o]

In netball it's still 3 feet, however it's strictly enforced. Which just means you have to get creative about intercepting the ball before they get it. Without obstructing, contacting, or anything else.

What's 'taking charges'?


The only person I really know who follows the rugby is a New Zealander, so I don't doubt it. I like to blame the fact that we leave rugby to Qld and NSW. There's a reason Melbourne the sporting capital, but we prefer AFL.

[Lamp Post]

Wow.
*cant imagine that*
*literally will shove people out of the key. . . and hand checks people. . . and runs into them. . . and fouls. . . .and, well, if they're not a solid rock, they won't be in the key for more than a few seconds.

How would one steal, though? Especially since they'd be less room for error without people dribbling. . . .and do people just walk then? I knew there wasn't any dribbling involved, but never really thought about how that'd work.

XD *likes Rugby*
