The Basketball Diaries - Dee's Ringer!

In real life, I did not play basketball in my high school years. But in caption form, it was a slam dunk!


I don't mind basketball, but it's my least favorite of the 5 major sports out there, way behind soccer, baseball, hockey and football, which are my two favorite sports to watch. I did play on the soccer and baseball teams, and I'd probably have played on a boy's volleyball team, but they didn't have one! Also did intramural wrestling, as we didn't have an official team there until a few years later.

Anyway, I saw this picture, and knew it would work for my purposes .. then got twisted a bit as I was writing it. But of course, that is to be expected by now, don't you think? That's one of the fun things about making up the story as I go .. and I didn't have much of an outline in mind when I started, other than what I wrote out for the first three paragraphs .. it evolved from there. The question at the end of the 5th paragraph gave me the impetus for the entire rest of the caption. And actually, it wasn't going to be me as the girlfriend until that question was asked, and I thought, "Oh! Thank goodness I have myself as an available character! This is RIGHT up my alley!"

Hope you enjoyed this, and do comment on the caption, and if you figured out what I was going for before I actually got to it! I bet that maybe half of you all had a good idea where I was heading by the end.
