it's official.

doubles = love.

And for once, I'm not talking about Prince of Tennis. Shocker, I know.

So at like 7 this morning, when I'm finishing my breakfast and about to head out to my early-morning work shift, I'm flipping through the paper. And I stumble on the article by our usual gay-rights columnist. The header?

"Doubles Tennis better than Therapy"

So of course I read it.

The whole thing - the whole damn thing and this is by someone who I doubt even knows what prince of tennis is - is about how the author and her girlfriend have been together 24 years, play doubles tennis, and credit it as one of the reasons their relationship works out so well. That playing doubles strengthens relationships. It ends "In thennis and life, there's simply no joy as special as having a life-long doubles partner."

I cut the article out. I am bringing it to college.

XD I love my life.

^ ^;;; same here. I can...kinda hit? I can underhand serve :D

I dont know, we never got very far during gym and the last time I played outside of gym was...god, middle school? early middle school? against my grandparents?

I'm totally willing to try I just don't think we'll get an actual game going. more like giggling a lot and ignoring the rules in favor of attempting to get things over the net.

which is fun as well :3

I might be able to take you, depending on how bad you are. XD;;; I've been practicing this summer.
[identity profile] britkit27.livejournal.com on August 4th, 2009 02:48 am (UTC)
you realize we will get nowhere in an actual game XD

if we're lucky, we'll be able to hit back and forth at least twice before I miss.

my hand-eye coordination is really really really bad. that's why I don't do sports.
