Lesson Learned?
Danny and I went to play pool last night. He's tried many times, unsucessfully, to teach me how to **correctly** play pool. I've tried many times, unsucessfully, to master sexy pool moves. So far I can't even manage to hold the pool stick, let alone look sexy while doing it. I do everything wrong. My finger position is incorrect, I wobble the stick right before I make a shot. I have this funny tilt to my head that causes my hair to go everywhere. I close one eye tightly to try to aim, and look absolutely ridiculous. I don't stand in the right position, my body is contorted abnormally to bring my head down towards the table. I don't hit the cue ball hard enough, if I manage to hit the cue ball at all. I have no idea what the geometry of pool is; I'm still trying to figure out how to aim straight.
With Danny's help, I did make a few shots last night. (Should I mention that he would move balls out of the way for me, or push the cue ball into a better position?) I completely failed at the sexy pool moves, but at least I stopped squinting my eye and bending at a weird angle to aim. Despite all of my awkward positions and girly frustration with my horrible skills, I enjoyed myself. That's all that matters right?
(No it's not all that matters! I want to master the sexy pool moves! One day....)
