I did a split step, followed by a side shuffle. ...at a party. When one guy looked at me like, what tha hell did he just do? I just walked off and pretended I didn't just do that.

You know you're addicted to tennis when you already have a good supply of balls, dampeners, grips, spare strings, and sweat bands, but you can't resist buying more when you see them on offer at a bargain price, just in case something happens to what you already have.
