My mom and I used to go there every day when I was 15, she taught me to bowl well. There was this cute guy who worked there and I adored him. We got to know him, the manager, the guy who worked in the snack bar, and just became friends with everyone. My mom joined a league, we got my cousin in on the fun...it was just a great, fun time in my life. Memories..sigh...

I wanna go bowling now!

So why did you stop going regularly if you love it so much?

Honestly, I don't think i've bowled in about five years.

I bowled once a year growing up. My best friend always had his birthdays with a bowling theme. In junior high they stopped. Then I bowled once during fraternity rush. Then once years later on a bad date. Then this last January. So practice has not had an opportunity to make perfect.

I'm sure Marissa played a lot of ski ball, working nearby on the boardwalk at DipStix.

Actually, I do like ski ball. At least you win things.

I'm oddly good at hitting the right holes.

I suppose it's easier when you're using smaller balls.

We had all those things. Plus lacrosse was really big, east coast and all.

I'm sorry...I stopped reading this reply as soon as I read you rushed a fraternity

Although, field hockey is fun. Soccer is really hard, i think, that's great you played! I mean, all that running, and kicking.
I know, I didn't do softball my senior year cause of choir and drama shows! And cause lots of the girls on my new school Softball team were redneck country bitches. ok.

Where did you grow up?

I was also in a league in '02 & '03. My high score was a 237.

Funny how I prefer "sports" where there is a good chance beer is involved (bowling, pool, darts...)

I love darts. I have a board at work. I've been known to hang pics on the bullseye a la Murphy Brown.

As far as bowling goes, I'm pretty lame. I always think I'm going to look like a big geek if I use the correct form. I think my high score is 150.

There's a correct form?
Actually, one thing I hate is whenever I try to relax & have fun as I bowl, there's always some yokel who feels the need to give me tips on correct form.

Finally, a normal person.

the best i ever bowled was 200 even. i have a swirly blue ball with mushrooms and the Alice caterpillar on it

Have I mentioned that I've never read that book or seen that movie? And Alice is one of my least favorite Stevie songs.
But it seems the ball has brought you luck.
