punkrockmuffinatrix: himynameiscarl: sports are scary because like what if the ball hits you in the face? that’s a really big concern of mine. getting hit in the face. This is why I gave up on volleyball: I duck. This was why I was actually a good close-in fielder in cricket & softball - I used to let the ball bounce off my face & catch it on the rebound. OK, so as a long-term technique, it sucked, but for the couple of years that I played, I caught a lot of people out.
