Okay.
I have a new best day of my life.
OMG USWNT VS. BRAZIL AT GIANTS STADIUM IN EAST HARTFORD, NEW FREAKING JERSEY!!! *dies*
But seriously, though.
Woke up at the crack of dawn to go ref some whiny 10 year olds over at Santaro with Alexis, then left around quarter past 10 to get home and ready to leave for the 4 hour drive to the stadium. *cheers*
So yeah. All packed up, left around 11:50ish, then my dad realized he didn't have SHOES (???) so we had to go back and fet him some...officially left around noon. Didn't do much on the way there but listen to music, eat, and draw. Oh, and freak out.
A lot.
The trip up went SO well! It only took us till literally 4:00 to get to the stadium: I was SO worried that we'd be late and have trouble parking and getting seats and stuff, but turns out the only problem was finding bathrooms. >_<
ANYWAY.
Got in, found our section, and...didn't sit down, because they were ALL OUT ON THE FIELD WARMING UP OMG. So...went down and took some pictures with my dad's super massive awesome camera (which I will honestly have a FIT over if they don't come out). Turns out no one was sitting in the seats we were hanging out in, so we ended up getting to sit about 50 feet closer to the field than before (OMG I WAS LIKE 10 FEET AWAY FROM KRISTINE LILLY/ABBY WAMBACH/BRIANA SCURRY!!!!11!!1!!!!111ONE!!1).
*is distracted because the house smells like beer O_o*
Anywhoodles...FREAKED OUT when they came out...and OMG KRISTINE LILLY. Goal in the FIRST EFFING MINUTE, off of a PERFECT free kick to the far upper corner. And we were RIGHT behind the net. Insane.
Let me take a moment to express the skankiness and idiocy of the girls in front of us. "HOMG! *texts* ... *flirts with boy next to her* ... *generally not paying attention* ... *paid $30 to sit in the stands and text people* ... *wears too much eyeliner* ... *can't pronounce "Chalupny"*
Stadium: *cheers insanely for Abby Wambach*
Boy: "Is she like...their best player, or something?
Girl: She scores like...a bajillion goals.
Me (thinks): OMG UR SOOOO STOOOPID. 74 GOALS IN 91 GAMES DUUUHHHHH.
>_< stupidpeopleomggodie.
Okay. Anyways...Off a free kick in the...17th? minute from Cat Whitehill, ABBY FREAKING WAMBACH scores from a flick-on header. OMG I LOFF YOU. <3
And OMG. BEST DAY EVERRR CONT'D!! I was joking the whole way down about how cool it would be to see JPA or Jozy Altidore in at the game, har dee har har, and whatnot. And HO MY FREAKING BEJESUS, he was THERE. IN OUR SECTION. XD I'm just sitting there watching...
Dad:"Hey! It's Jozy!"
Me:*whips head around* ... *jawdrop* ... *proposes to Jozy*
He had a U20 game a few hours before, and was there for an interview. OMG I LOVE HIM A LOT. <333333
Anyway...my dad spent like...$21 on PRETZELS, POPCORN, and WATER at halftime. >_< I hate stadium food.
So, no scoring in the second half, but Natasha Kai came on, and she's freaking hardcore, so woot for that. ^_^ 2-0 US final.
And...me not buying a $70 gold WNT jersey pretty much sums up the best day of my LIFE. EVER. No, seriously, Soldier Field two years ago kicked ass, but this was WAY better, mostly because I didn't spend the entire game crying over not having any film in the camera.
So...yes. USWNT = <3.
So...Graduation was good. Didn't take as long as I expected, I guess, which was good. Molly's was after, which was also good, the Snips and Shawn came over for a bit. Yesterday was Carrie's party, and that was uber fun. Way too lazy to write any more, though, so I'm out.
