Why air guitars and ice skates don't mix...

My tailbone hurts.

Actually, my entire butt hurts. I blame ice skating and loving the air guitar too much. 

So, Sunday I show up to church and apparently we're supposed to go ice skating at 1:30. This is a bit of a problem because Aaron and I had tentative plans to hang out and it would probably take an hour to get to Fairfield and back and chances are Pastor Dave won't get done til 12:30. Well, after much begging and cajoling, I asked Aaron if he wanted to go ice skating with my youth group and he said sure. His dad was nice enough to drop him off at my house and then we headed back to my church, getting there at 1:25 (cause we're that good).

The skating rink was COLD. Kyra had warned me about this but I didn't realize just how cold it was going to be. Brrrrrr...................But on to other things. 

So after being a wee bit shaky and afraid to move for a few minutes, skating comes right back to me. It's really just like being on roller skates anyway. So an hour or so goes by and I've gotten rather cocky. While goofing around to a song and playing air guitar, I leaned a little too far back on a wicked solo and BAM! Down I went, right on my tailbone. I sat there, partially shocked I'd fallen, mostly in pain, and trying to decide whether to laugh or cry. I got up (with some help from Aaron cause he'd offered), and didn't goof around on my skates again for the rest of the afternoon. 

Now it's the next day. My tailbone still hurts if I bend at certain angles forwards or sideways or whatever. My left wrist hurts when I flex it in any direction (not a sharp pain, but sore for sure). 

So we'll chalk this up to a lesson learned: Do not, I repeat DO NOT, rock out on air guitar too hard while ice skating or your ass will hate you forever.
