Today is my birthday!
You make me cake and I eat it, yes?

First meet today. Scratched at both long jump attempts, failed miserably at 100, destroyed my team's chances at the 4x4. none of them were my fault except the 100, where I wasn't sprinting right. By rights, the only relay I should be running is the 4x1, but I got stuck with the 4x4 because a certain runner was whining about shin splints. And then ( Read more... )

What is it about volleyball players that require the vast majority of them to be total crazies and madly angry almost all of the time. Perhaps it's that fatal mixture of sleep deprivation, aggresive coaches, and the constant pressure of keeping up with your "frenemies". Or maybe it's just because Gatorade tastes so bad ( Read more... )

So, the ugly beast that is L***i* corrupted with power has reared her ugly head again. This time, in the naem of "team unity". To understand this, you have to understand one of the messed up ways our coaches think we should prep for games. Our games always start at 4:30, but from 3:15 to that time, we aren't allowed to talk to anyone else, sit ( Read more... )

FRICKIN" B**(a certain coach)!!! I hate him ( Read more... )

so, last night, just a few hours after I posted the entry about the freak, I got a call from E**** telling me that we had a tournament at 7:15 today! Gaack! Mind, this was before we had our jerseys, or even our rotation nailed down. However, it was kind of a fun tournament. We were 2-3, which is not bad. I played absolutely every game (which is ( Read more... )

First, On a different note, everyone should listen to Ella y El. It's so cute! And how many times do you get a song about a marxist prostitute falling in love with a Republican that has non PC phrases ( Read more... )

I got on JV!!! YAY!! Lizzie is now happy. However, LJ did too. I'm sorry, but I am so sick of crappy tall chicks. Sure they get okay by the end of the season, but during the beginning they are hopeless! Ah well, at least we have M**** and Jall (K****'s nickname,not mine), who are fairly experienced. More awesome is the fact that we got R***. she's ( Read more... )

my coach is date dyslexic. So today was supposed to be the first day of school tryouts,and I was freaking out. However, the website stated thhe first day of tryouts was tuesday, August 1st, so he can't actually make any cuts, and today was an "observed open gym". Because of that, I wasted my flashiest bright color t-shirt and a panic attack on ( Read more... )

How do you become a libero if you're 6'0? I mean, you would be completely unable to jump when you hit, because a libero's hand can't cross the plane of he net. Second, I don't know any school on the planet who wouldn't recruit a 6 footer to play front row, even if they've got a taller or better middle. Yet we find this ( Read more... )
