Once I played until I fainted. I had just got slalom skis and was so excited that I forgot to eat. I skied the whole day without eating. In the end I fainted from exhaustion and crashed into a lamp post. I had concussion, and Dad had to take me to the hospital. The doctor said that playing all day long was fine, but that I had to remember to eat in between. I fainted because what I was doing was so much fun that I didn’t have time to take a break. Something about that is incredibly good. That eagerness. It’s quite far away.
