I won't ever ask if you don't ever tell me

Haha so today we had a track meet. For long jump, you could jump from either the guys' or girls' line, the girls line being maybe four feet closer to the pit. Most people were doing the girls one, the closer one, so I went with that. My first jump I jumped between the two lines, as in I was behind the line I MEANT to jump from. But some random lady in the crowd goes, "Oh he was jumping from the second line," (meaning the one further back) probably because she wanted me to get a scratch. Instead of measuring from the girls' line though-- which would have been right but would have turned out really crappy because I jumped from so far behind it-- OR giving me a scratch for having jumped over the guys' line, this tape-measurer lady who had no idea what the hell she was doing measured by jump from the guys' line, a "19'2''" jump. Hell yeah biotch! Of course this is my PR by a good 8 inches from last year, and it's my best of this season by 2 and a half feet. Afterwards I went and ate a bunch of food to celebrate, and then realized I was in the finals. Ha! I knew I was fucked after that. I wonder if they noticed all my other jumps were a lot lower than 19'2''... eh, I was happy anyway because I had one (real) jump that was 18'4'', which is only a couple inches short of last year's PR. All in all it was a good meet. The only bad part was I really missed Gogo today, but who knows, maybe that stupid lady was a gift he sent me to make my day better.
