Twenty seven is too old for Twister

Okay, so I lied yesterday--this is actually my last post before I head out of here this evening.

Last night I went over to Christina's house for a little get together with some friends, Shawn, Chris, and a friend of Christina's, Nikki. I hadn't seen Chris (not the Chris mentioned in earlier posts), since 1998, so it was really great getting to see him again. Shawn I see about once every month or so, and it is always great getting to see him. And Nikki, I hope you are reading this--you kick ass! We had a great evening, starting with Shawn making pizzas (that boy should be a chef), and of course drinks were had by all. We played a couple of drinking games, went out and met Christina's new neighbors, and then broke out Twister.

I am sure everyone remembers how much fun they had as kids playing Twister, right? It is still that much fun and more. However, when you have been drinking, I am not sure Twister is the right choice of games. It came down between Shawn and me during the first game, and I ended up losing because I may be flexible, but I am not a contortionist. Anyways, the reasoning behind being too old for it--when I fell, being inebriated as I was, I didn't notice where I was falling. I now have a lovely knot and bruise on my forehead from falling into the bookcase. Nothing like looking as though you've been beat up when you are headed out of town on a business trip. Also, I used muscles in that game that I forgot I had--I am not hurting this morning, miracle of miracles, but I wouldn't be surprised if I feel it tomorrow--you know the second day is always the worst. :)

Is this going to stop me from playing Twister again--NEVER!!! It is just too much fun. It did teach me to look where I am falling though, so it wasn't without worth. Oh, that, and I need to contort myself into really odd positions on a regular basis to work out those new found muscles! :)

Have a great week everyone!
