Emily’s NEW positivity and being nice to each other thread

“I was married to a Fascist and I was married to a Marxist and neither one of them ever took out the garbage.”
― Lee Grant

(Thought I'd toss this out there)
 
I don’t think I could either. I’m good at running and climbing, but - outside of those - I’m a bit uncoordinated.

OK… my thread, so it’s not derailment. I’m a bit odd [you knew that right?] with coordination. Example.

I used to play softball a bit at college. Nothing too serious, mixed teams. I was shortstop [shall I do the joke, or will you?] mostly as I could catch and throw (at least infield distances). Several people assumed that I would “throw like a girl” and never made first as a result.

But… put a bat in my hand and I sadly hit like a girl. Or more likely miss. Same with tennis.

Not sure if this is a common thing, or just me. Maybe I just didn’t spend enough time trying to to figure out bats and rackets.

Sounds like you are much better coordinated than I. But, the real question is... can you dance?

Even professional ballplayers aren't always good at both fielding and batting. They're very different skill sets, even if they both derive from hand-eye coordination.
I was reasonably competent at batting, at least in comparison to teenagers who were also not on the school's team, but hopeless at tennis.

Um… I like to dance 😬.

Perhaps the best answer is that I dance better than I sing. You do not want to hear me sing.

I am actually more able to dance with my bf than with anyone else. And he says the same. Cute, right?

Writing. That I can do… sort of. Better than dancing anyway.

I guess there are different types of hand-eye coordination.

I recommend, Napoleon as best movie to skip this holiday season. Absolute bullshit! Historical accuracy pulled out of their asses and just as shitty. What I don't understand are the people claiming they did a hatchet job on his character. He fucking invented the narcissistic Napoleon complex, blew the nose of the Sphinx, destroyed his own army, kept the world at war for 12 or 13 years. But using historically accuracy would have made the movie better. Didn't enjoy it all, but on the bright side, Bronco's busted the Browns asses and I had a great, cold, time at the game.

EDITED the mistyped word arm to ARMY. Stupid Jew Girl!

He made a nice pastry though.
