How To Animate Like A Pro

a couple months ago, i went to visit the college campus i planned on attending. i really liked it! pretty scenery, good art classes :3 but the campus is really big, and the students are known to ride bikes andskateboard to their class in order to get therequicker. that's when i decided i'd like to try skateboarding, since they're easier to carry around than a bike for convenience,

How To Animate Like A Pro, and i liked the idea of having a cool newhobby. after some research i decided to go to a shop and look at them in person, and maybe talk to some experts! my mom and i drove down to the local mall and walked into the skate shop, where we were greeted by a nice employee :3

the shop was small, and you could literally have a conversation with someone on the other side of the room, but it was still a pretty cool place :) as my mom talked to the employee about what we're looking for, i decided to check out one of theskateboards on display! there was a little rug the store providedfor the customers to stand on without slipping off the skateboard, so i used it to try out the board. it was really cool! -until i noticed i was starting to slowly roll off the rug o_o i started silently panicking to myself... this rug was the only thing keeping mesafe from falling off that skateboard!

i needed... i trusted it... and it was betraying me! stahp it!! people have different reactions in panic situations: for me everything, goes in slow motion.all i could think about was the horrible ways that this could end d: x_x i felt like mufasa when he was above the cliff with scar "rug! help me! o_o"

rugscar: "long live the king/queen because technically you are of the female gender but the quote uses the male counterpaaart~" >:3 *rudely pushes off the cliff* "nooooooo...." wildebeests. i was having a mental breakdown in thecorner by myself, half of the board was on the tile now, and it was starting to pick up some speed ;_; i quickly glanced over at my mom to seeif she noticed the peril that i was in... still talking... -_- i had to do somethingbefore i was cast away into the abyss of free space, so slowly, i startedputting my foot down toward the floor.

i should be able to just step off theboard, nothing else... oh god. don't do anything stupid... don't do anything stupid... but the thing was, as i was stepping off, the weight on the board became unbalanced which forced it the opposite way i wasgetting off. this caught me so off guard, i stumbled backward... launching thisskateboard across the floor, and watched as it slammed, very loudly, it to the show rack that was holdingother boards :o everyone saw, since we were basically breathing down each other's necks, in a shop the size of a bathroom *_*

*unhappy groaning of embarrassment* my initial reaction, as it is the mostthings, was to just laugh it off. but it was just areally awkward laugh that i was using to try and say "ohh, hahah. oops! i'm sorry, i'm such a clutz ^_^" but on the inside... in my head: "stopp.. don't look at me...noooooo @_@" i'll we left and every time i pass that store, i just cringe.

i can never return there ever again ._. thank you for watching! i love you :3 lol you found a secret message! (ﾉ◕ヮ◕)ﾉ*:ï½¥ï¾ÿ✧
