[quote=@Rune_Alchemist] Ouch. basketball to the face hurts. Never had it happened to me, but I've seen it happen. Though really, You're playing sports, so a minor injuries are expected, I think. I took Taekwondo lessons as a kid, so stuff like that wasn't really bad. A basketball to the face wasn't nearly as bad as getting kicked up side the head when me and my friend had a sparring match in our backyard xP Granted we were like, ten, but me and him didn't get those silver/bronze medals in tournaments for nothing xD Unfortunately, I had to leave practice because of money reasons. Which sucked. I loved doing martial arts and stuff. (also I could make a joke here about me actually being a ninja. :hehe) Now, sports though, yeah, I hate those. Football, softball, baseball...just ugh. Never liked them, and I loathed the fact all of them were required in our Physical Education classes. It freakin' sucked. I won't go into details, but one day, I ended up with a huge gash in my knee and a broken wrist. Fun times. Didn't hurt too terribly bad - I was used to taken a bit of a beating from training when i was doing Tawkwondo, at least until they put the damn stitches in. Never again, will I let them put those infernal things in any part of my body unless I'm bleeding internally or something. I mean seriously, I could still walk and everything. It wasn't even bleeding but everyone was like 'omigosh you need stitches.' Bah. /rant over. [/quote] Oh cool, I took Taekwondo too when I was really little... though I just stopped because I got bored of it. I actually went through a lot of phases when I was younger where I'd start doing a sport like horse-riding, swimming and Taekwondo, and then eventually, something would happen (in the case of horse-riding, the stable had to close down for a bit, and in the case of swimming, I got a teacher who I didn't like as much as the last one), and then I just stopped going. Nyeh. Stuff happens. Though, honestly, I should start doing some kind of sport or exercise. Otherwise, I will become fat and lazy. Like... more so than I am now. XP EDIT: [@Vec]: That is... really painful just to look at XD
