Hehe… thanks aJ.

I have to say the victory was bittersweet. I only creamed him because Christopher decided to play racquetball wearing his glasses (which are an outdated prescription… not “subscription,” Christopher ) AND because once Christopher realized his vision wasn’t up to par and he wouldn’t be able to freaking kill me like he normally does, he got all grumpy and pissy and basically mentally checked out.

At one point in game #2, I asked, “Are you mad at me or something?” wondering why he kept sighing and rolling his eyes and never announcing the score when it was his turn to serve. His response was (in a pissy tone): “No. Just get up there and serve the fucking ball.”

Fun.

It was like playing with a bratty three-year old who missed his favorite cartoon. After the second game, I went outside to get a drink of water hoping he would call it quits and come out after me… and let me know that it was his glasses that were pissing him off.

Did he? Of course not…

I’m outside drinking water and hear him hitting the ball over and over practicing his swing. I’m like… shit… I guess I have to play the third game. Which was torture. Because it was exactly like games 1 and 2 with Christopher doing a lot of sighing and eye-rolling.

Normally, I love playing racquetball with Christopher. He’s fun and flirty and talks a lot of shit, but he also tells me when I’m playing well and coaches me to change things when I’m not. I’ve gotten a shitload better at this game simply because of him and I am *finally* feeling like I can walk in and play a game and hold my own. And that’s because of him.

But this morning all-around sucked and I was just wishing I could score quickly to get it over with. *sigh* So I’m not officially counting this win. It’s being wiped off the books… and if I happen to beat Christopher thrice in a row on a day when his attitude is good and he’s playing like he normally does… that’s when I’ll be proud of myself.

Relatively speaking we both suck? We’re not A-players by any means… but we don’t suck either. And Christopher is one of the most athletic people I know… he literally excels at every freaking sport. Of course, he’s a little more aggressive than I am. I’m not willing to dislocate my shoulder diving for a ball on a return… so if he’s willing to do that shit, he deserves to win!
