my very first internet handle was CINCISLUGGER1990 because my mother had to make something up and she panicked

yes I was born in Cincinnati, though at the time we no longer lived there.

I played softball for like... a year, maybe two TOPS when I was in elementary school. I enjoyed this activity solely because we got to go to The Cone when we inevitably lost our games. I was the player with the best on-base record on the team because I simply never swung the bat and the other small children couldn't throw the ball for shit so I always got walked.

mama why did you let the entire internet know that I was like 7-8? seems like a bad call.

#RED ALERT THE CONE STILL EXISTS #the handle didn't last all that long don't worry #I later read a children's book and snagged a character from that to imprint on #and had that be my handle for like a decade lmao #but I changed my name from that too #anyway when I was a kid my parents were always trying to find some afterschool exercise that I'd actually enjoy and be less terrible at #I tried... I wanna say... ballet basketball softball roller skating karate swimming gymnastics...#I was a brownie for a while...#honestly tho my ADHD was pretty bad even back then so I was always losing interest in stuff #and I was really bad at pretty much everything physical for reasons that are now... obvious #but at the time everyone despaired of me lmao #my mother says that when I was like 5 and I was on the tiny basketball team #I would just spin around in circles on the court and wander around and ignore all the other children #and all the parents fondly called me 'the little snowflake'#so that's about how good I was at sports back then
