From Anonymous:Skiing in Utah

Last febuary i was skiing in Utah. I was at the top of the cliff and my brother said he wasn't gong to jump off it beucase it was "rediculously BA" and so i laughed in his face and jumped off the cliff without really noticing that there wasn't a good landing space. When i hit the run below i didn't have room to stop and so when i tried to turn i hit a bumb and my knee went POP and i tore my ACL. This little rather untrancendic moment is relevent because it happened two weeks before track season, something i really cared about. I had this apiphany that sports are really temporary, and thinking about it, I am not very good at them. So then, that summer, in lew of speding hours training for cross country season, i joined a community theater. I played Sebastion in The Tempest, as a victorian era duchess. There was a moment when i was swimming in the lake next to the community theater, at eleven at night with my cast and i felt like i belonged. i felt a peice of mildue on my foot and my hair was plasticy from the grey spray that was in it. It was overcast in seattle, even in august and you couldn't seen te moon. right then, when triculo hit me across the head with part of his costume, a pair of checkered pants, i felt like i completely belonged.
