Softball & Update

Well I have to say that Shrek 2 was much better the second time around. I don't konw why. Maybe it was because I was with more people this time. Ryan, Daniel, Robbie and I went to see it after dinner on Saturday. Which was the buffet for Dad's birthday. It was nice and tasty if a bit bland. And I didn't stuff myself like I normally do. So anyway the movie was better when I had friends to laugh at it with me.

On Sunday there was no fighter practice which was a bummer because I wanted to fight with schlager and decide if I want to authorize this weekend at Saphire. I don't know if I will or not, I kinda want to but at the same time I don't. If I do auth then I have to fight with it in the tourney. If I use epee I have a much better chance to do well. Especially because the people I will be fighting people who have longer swords than me. But on the other hand Connor, Gunny, Aedan, Vyv, and Marcellus will be fighting so there's really no point in my trying to actually win. I'll just work out my right arm and do my best. It would be nice to win the saphire though. Two other people from BD have won it. It would be great to make it three, but I'm not getting my hopes up. Today I tried to sleep in but... it didn't work. Robbie was in charge of the little ones because Mom went somewhere. And I think Robbie might be going through some sort of hormone induced puberty, because his voice is just rough harsh and annoying. NO sleep for me. It's ok though, I got up early and did some laundry and cleaned my room. I was really kinda bored today. My house is just boring, I can't wait to get back to work. That just sounds weird. Kate went back to work today. She was worried about getting up early. I think she was getting to like sleeping a lot :). I think once she gets back into it she will be very happy. She's one of the hardest workers I know. Kate if you read this, leave a comment on how it went. I really miss her, and it seems like everyone I talk to is telling me how much they like spending time with their girlfriends. Well I'll see her in a few days and I can't wait!!!!

The softball game today was great. We played a good team that actually gave us a run for our money. I played third base for the first half of the game and then rested. I had a nice hit, I found a problem in my mechanics and fixed it. I drove the ball to left center field. The fielder missed it and it went past him. I was headed for second when I heard someone yell "THREE!!" so I made the turn and ran harder. I beat the ball by a few miliseconds. When I was standing on third waiting for Robbie to hit I realized that everyone had been yelling at me to stay at second. Oh well, it worked hehe. Robbie came up, he still can't hit the ball well at all and probably won't ever. But Dad keeps pushing him. Anyway he got a called ball and strike on him, so I knew that he was going to swing so I was ready. The pitcher fielded the ball and I ran two steps and stopped to see if I could distract him but he just turned and threw the ball to first. He got Robbie by a mile but I bolted towards home. The first baseman had a better arm than I anticipated so the ball actually beat me to the plate and it was a good throw, but I slid under the tag and scored. It was great, everyone was yelling and then telling me that they couldn't believe I ran. It was great, but I got a strawberry on my leg. Oh well, we won the game 17-10.

I guess I have to decide whether I want to do improv next year or not. Jac just posted a messege on his blog saying that he would take over and organize everything. Basically making himself head honcho with it. He said that anyone could take over from him or lead or do whatever. I don't know I'll have to decide. I dunno though, I'll have to think about it.
