11 March 1982 - as Carly Goodbody
I'm tired.
No, I'm exhausted. I spent all yesterday being embarrassed while I chased Hell Urquhart around the pitch. It was the match to watch yesterday because the other match was when the Magpies played the Cannons. I don't regret coming back to do this, it's been fun. I've enjoyed it. But matches like yesterday remind me why I coach the under-21 darlings of England don't attempt to play matches that last hours upon hours.
I'm just tired. And I'm glad that Hell Urquhart does not hate me so she didn't play like. Well like she does against Puddlemere.
I hate it because now I'm sitting here and thinking about what I could have DONE to beat Hell yesterday. All the possibilities. Which, that's ridiculous because Hell Urquhart has more natural talent in her pinky than I do in my whole body but at one point I could beat her. Maybe with the wind blowing just right and the sun at x point in the sky. But at one point in my life I BEAT HELL URQUHART TO THE SNITCH.
Okay that was a long time ago. You're old now, Carly. And that was a lifetime ago.
And Kiefer Wiggin probably is too because he just got his arse handed to him by Greg Cotton.
I'll be 42 at the end of the month. I know I don't look it but today I feel it.
And yes I'm 42 and have this stupid thing for someone who is twelve bloody years younger than I am, I am a MORON.
I will be glad when I go back to coaching full time.
I'm also not sure that I like that Bex Whitby quit school, but she did and I'm not her parent her parents are dead so it's not my place to say anything.
I can't believe I never noticed that Leland was under Imperius. I blame myself for not noticing, I should have noticed. I'm - maybe I'm just not cut out for this whole life thing. I was a terrible wife and now I'm a terrible sister and oh I'm just going to shut the fuck up now.
Congratulations to the Arrows, I was listening on the wireless. It was quite a match.
Things here have been busy. We've got some big matches coming up. The Wasps at the end of the month and the Falcons, the Cannons, and the Kestrels next month.
