I didn't foul you

at CCCs a few weekends ago, i was on defense against a girl on georgia's team and we both were running for a disc. she attempted to go over me and catch it, but since i had position i d'd it and she just ended up knocking me over.

when we both stood up i went to pick up the disc, but stopped because she stopped me, looked at me, and said "i dont think that was a foul"

now, this statement confused me. she was not calling a foul, she was simply stating that there wasn't a foul, and yet since i was on defense there would be no reason for me to disagree with her because then it would go back and she would get the disc again. plus on top of all that, i hadn't even fouled her!

so i agreed with her saying that i didn't think that i fouled her. this lead her to say something along the lines of "i mean i think we hit each other, but that was after you had already hit the disc, so it was clean."

having never been told exactly what i had just done when it was not applicable to anything that could happen in the future by someone i didn't really know was confusing me even more, so again i just said "i think you're right."

she looked like she wanted to add more, but i didn't really see the point of this conversation so i attempted to find a way to end it. not sure how to conclude this discussion, i decided to fall back on my go to we-are-on-good-terms hand gesture: a high five.

however, in this case, i was so flustered about why this conversation was taking place at all, and she was not really expecting a high five at this particular point in time, so this interaction became me making a few confused and stressed sounds and forcibly giving her a high five.

this combo of sad/helpless/confused sounds and an unexpected high five lead into me just tapping the disc in because i didn't know what else to do at this point.

then we won the game, so it all ended okay.

Rec Basketball

this evening a few of my friends and i went to watch my brothers rec basketball game at Lincoln Center gym.

after the game, someone gave me a disc, so naturally i decided to attempt to throw it through the hoop. i hit the rim the first time, so after retrieving it i decided to try again. however, in my haste to retry, i did not see the man standing on the stage (in full view of the court and all of the stands) watching me shoot these frisbees.

when i shot the second time (i hit the net), the man jumped down from the stage and took the frisbee with him and sat down. content to just avoid confrontation i attempted to play it off as though the person in all frisbee gear was not the person who had just thrown a carolina ultimate disc at the basketball hoop. this was not a good plan, and was forced to get the disc back from this man who was sitting on the stage and was very discontent with my behavior.

i walked up to him to get it back so i could leave, but when i walked up to the stage, i didnt even say anything, and he didnt look at me and just said "you cant have this back"

i told him i had to go, and he said the only way i could get it back was if i was escorted from the building.

thus, i was escorted from the lincoln center gym during a rec basketball game.

so the next game, we decided to go big or go home and do body paint (and did not get kicked out/escorted from lincoln center for a second time)
