ready for tampa
This past weekend was GORGEOUS....we went down to VA for the regional. Too bad I have like a sinus infection or something nasty like that. I felt awful for the whole weekend. Friday was a long ass practice and then a long ass talk that left many of us feeling like absolute shit. Got a whopping 2 1/2 hours of sleep and went to rehearsal Saturday. At least we got to have sabre block outside! that was nice. Got a little color. Good thing, too...i got a long way to go before I'm black. P.S.-fun little generalization...black people do not like the sun apparently. They were all complaining about being in the sun, sweating, spinning outside. I was like, "What? its gorgeous!". Did our last run thru on the tennis courts.
Our prelims show was pretty good....although I had my first drop of the season...my damn sabre 6. Oh well. I got it in finals. Dude...this audience was fucking nuts....these kids are coming up to us all over the place, wearing LB shirts, asking us to sign them, telling us how much they love us. "I didn't know you COULD do cartwheels under tosses!". We got to walk around selling raffles, which was fun as hell. Marsell...."hey, you ever hear of LB...u like us right? come on, lets walk and talk." And ew, that blue mint ice cream turned my mouth and teeth blue. Finals was great, mickey was there to see us and he walked us down the hallway. Our flag toss was A MESS...but the rest was great. Finals felt amazing...we had a music issue...the music started like 10 counts in, instead of at the beginning. So we stopped and started over. And when they re-announced us, the crowd screamed even louder than the first time. It was great. They were all helping us take our shit off the floor and everyone was just complimenting us, left and right. The staff was happy with it, we were happy with it...soooo yeah. We won, with an 81 something.Drove back. Sunday, practice. More random little changes.
I went bathing suit shopping. Got a cute bikini. Can't wait to maybe wear my booty shorts in Tampa. ANd Mickeys house in Bradenton supposedly has a heated pool and stuff. I'm so excited. I have work tomorrow and then I'm sleeping over Aimees, and having an Asian good time with her, robbie and winnie. Our flight leaves Newark at around 9:30 on Thursday. And Saturday after prelims, we're having dinner with Braddock and Medea at some Fridays. Yay...I get to see Malky, Shane, Jesse botch and Mario botch, and Nicole.
