Trying to be...

Its time for the Friday Five
1. Do you watch sports? If so, which ones?
Nope. Can't stand 'em. I used to enjoy watching soccer and hockey, and definitely enjoy both of those sports live, but that's it. Baseball? holy crap, what could be more boring than that....and basketball? its all happening so quickly, I can't keep up. You know, there was a time I was really into tevevised football, but I think that was just a phase.
2. What/who are your favorite sports teams and/or favorite athletes?
Don't watch 'em, therefore have no favorite anythings.....but of course, being from New York, I would say Giants for football. But for baseball, regardless of location, I would say "Mets? Yankees? who gives a shit!"
3. Are there any sports you hate?
Hate is a very strong word. I am bored by baseball, confused by basketball. I do however enjoy track and field competitions, gymnastics, and of course, all of those Worlds Strongest Man things -- what kind of crazy ass shit do they have those Erik Erikssen do? This one time, I swear the guy had to pull a tractor with a platform full of nursery school students with his teeth. It was bananas.
4. Have you ever been to a sports event?
Yes, many many many. Live hockey was my favorite. Never been to a live football, basketball or baseball game (little league doesn't count).
5. Do/did you play any sports (in school or other)? How long did you play?
I used to play soccer, and I kicked ass (literally and figuratively). I was on the first girls team ever in my home town, as I grew up on the cusp of Title IX. I also ran for about a minute in high school, I think I did one race but that was it....I also as a child swam competitively and played tennis. I'd like to get involved in an adult soccer league again, but would be embarrassed at how poorly I would do today.
