To Skate, Perchance to...Fall?

I really should rollerblade more often. I'm not as bad as I always thought I was, yesterday proved it. My church had a social meet at the local roller rink and I pulled my girlfriend along for the ride. We had a grand old time, weaving between slower people, chasing each other. I found myself moving to the music as best I could and making a complete ass out of myself I'm sure. Daphne got mildly high on the cotton candy I got for her too. And no falling, not once! It really was a very enjoyable couple of hours. I highly recommend the joy that comes from skating hand in hand with someone you love. Worth every penny.

Blegh, skating?
I can't ever keep my balance and when I manage for a little while I tense up because then I expect that I'm going to fall which doesn't let me respond quickly enough or smoothly enough to movement and then I do fall.
And if I can get over that I tend to realise that there are a lot of people at skating rinks who could be watching me and laughing the entire time.
That kinda ruins it right there for me.
