Hee!
I am so happy. And slightly hungover. No better time for a little introspection, is there?
Last night was the party of the decade. That's the name it went by. It was the ten-year anniversary celebration of both FreezeBees and TT-Lätty, the Tampere university and the Tampere polytechnic ultimate frisbee clubs. Sometime during the night I got to thinking how much my life has changed in the past year thanks to ultimate and FreezeBees. It's like family, it's like home. I love all our awesome people. It's so easy and fun to make friends in the ultimate frisbee community in general. Take our trip to Sweden for a tournament with the women's team. There, too, you can feel the same spirit. I know that several of these people I've got to know this year I will stay friends with for a long, long time, even if I was to quit playing ultimate tomorrow (although why on earth would I?!).
It's usually the last thing on my mind when I think of what FB has given me, but I can't deny I'm in shape now. Or getting there, since this season I'll be joining the women's team and playing in the national league. And I can't exactly say I was in a bad shape a year ago, but the difference to then is massive. One of these days I might start calling myself an athlete. ¨
The only little complaint I have is our men. Our charming, funny, amazing men, yeah. Because there is one that I have been crushing on since forever, but ours is such a small, close-knit community that I don't want to risk our friendship turning awkward by making any moves when he doesn't seem interested. But there are four, count them four, sigh, others who would be interested, and right now I'm just... not interested at all in return. Even though I love them. As friends. (Oh yeah, one of them is twelve years older than me, which sort of connects to my previous entry asking for your opinions on age difference...) Hence, le sigh.
But it's just men, right? Whatever! Despite this weird drama, there is not much I would rather be doing now than being a part of FreezeBees. Although I am still trying to digest the shock after several people told me last night in a very matter-of-fact way that I will be our next President. I must have missed a memo or something because this is the first I have heard of it.
So there some jumbled thoughts attempting to unjumble themselves. Now I have two hours to shower and clean up in the apartment and make myself feel like a human being again before the girls are coming over, next weekend the biggest indoor ultimate frisbee tournament in Finland is held in Vaasa and we're meeting here with the women's team to figure out funny costumes and stuff. Probably also who danced with who last night and who spilled the most drinks on other people (that would be me, but they were all accidents!)
