I'm a terrible bowler. Awful. Great at Wii but pathetic when it comes to the real thing. Last time I went bowling with my friends it was a disaster. A funny disaster, but a disaster nonetheless. Our collective score for the four of us playing didn't break company. Birds of a feather and what not. I don't even think my score was in the fifties. (For some reason I feel as though that is a high guess.) Tonight wasn't a repeat performance.
I started the night playing myself. We ended up playing on two lanes. A bunch of the guys were in the middle of a game and one of the girls had started a game with no one to play with her. Everyone else was either eating or decided not to participate. After a while she lost interest and decided to eat herself. I decided to play and after trying to coax someone to play with me I decided I didn't really want to embarrass myself by losing terribly to someone. I just started chucking the ball down the lane as both players.
I was actually hitting pins. My only thought was that of course I actually score something when I'm not playing anyone. Then my co-worker decided she was ready to play again. I immediately started rolling gutter balls. It seemed that my ability to concentrate did depend on my not playing anyone, but I got it together. I ended up coming out on top scoring my highest score ever, 95. I was beating the score of some of the guys throwing 20 mph balls next to us.
It was a fun night. We also threw in some pool and laser tag. I was just happy with my newfound abilities. I don't know when I got better at bowling but I'm glad I did.
