. . . we prefer to have perfect square scores in all frames numbered with the square of an even prime.

So I totally just scored my first goal in soccer ever in my intramural team’s soccer game tonight. It was certainly in no way related to my skill. First, we were playing a team that was so bad we decided to switch up all the positions–i.e. the forwards played goalie and defense, and myself and the goalie played forwards. Second, a girl on the other team basically tackled me in the box so we got a penalty kick. It took me a few moments to realize that my team actually wanted me to kick it. Why not? We were up 6 to 0 anyway. So as soon as I figured out what was happening, I stepped up to the ball, and the referee blew his whistle, and I kicked it. Then, wonder of wonders, the ball actually went to where I was aiming, and I scored. Okay, okay, so I didn’t nimbly dribble past someone and make a spectacular goal, but at least I can say that once in my life, I put a soccer ball in a net during an actual game. Hooray!
