Anyway, back to my leg. It's been hurting for about a week and today I touched it and I can literally feel a dent. I tell you, that's a scary revelation right there. I immediately called my mom and asked if you can get a dent in your shin and she told me that was a muscle. Not a huge help there.
So where did this dent come from? Well, let me tell you. It happened the second I realized I can't parkour. I know...the tears, the agony, the disappointment. (Great news though, when I googled how to spell it, I found there's a training center not far from me. There is still hope.)
It was a beautiful night and my friends and I were sitting outside. And that's when I saw it. A cute little cat was having a grand ole time running down the sidewalk. So naturally, I climbed on over the little cement wall in front of our table and started calling it like the Steve Irwin that I think I am. The cat was too quick and before I knew it, I couldn't see it worth squat. So I gave up on that. That's when a random, shorter version of Channing Tatum walked up to me, tossed a couple choice words out there, reached his arm out and snapchatted a picture of both of us. It was weird. He eventually turned around with his four buddies and left.
My friends and I were still kind of chuckling over that when I came up with a cool little surprise. Instead of just going around the wall or climbing it, I figured I could totally pull a little parkour move and just hop on over and my friends would be impressed and all would be awesome. So I started at a decent little run, put my hands on the stomach-level cement wall, got all the momentum I could and chucked my legs up the side. Yeah, only I missed dreadfully. Instead of my legs going effortlessly over, my right shin slammed right into the corner of the cement wall.
Needless to say I was in massive amounts of pain. I decided to go ahead and lay on the ground and cry a second. My friends were laughing too hard to help, so the moment got even worse. A guy and girl holding hands walked by and I felt like the beat up guy in the Good Samaritan story where no one helps him. They just kept walking. I tried not to take it personally.
Anyway, it was just a traumatic situation. Reenactment pic right here.
So that sums it up. I can't parkour and now I think there's a dent in my leg and I am deeply disappointed.
