So it looks like I'm the strategy advisor for John's team that he's coaching at that...thing this weekend. It's happeneing at the same time as Atlantics which is right next door, and I'll obviously be checking that out anyway because MJ and Megan are playing in it! The general plan is for me to get hammered before going there and then to cause a big ruckus and be generally humiliating. But I'm unsure as to whether or not that will work well, because if I make a commitment to doing this thing with John, I should really stick with it. They people I'd be advising have all expressed interest. I live, eat and breathe curling like you wouldn't believe and have a lot more to offer than I get to exhibit normally in the games we play. It's a thing where you'd kind of have to play on my team to realize it, which is good, because I wouldn't want too many other people knowing my tactics and all that. I'll just give out some basic advice and keep the secret weapons for myself as usual. It's kind of funny though, because the kids I'd be helping are really not that much younger than I am, but I've been through so many critical games and situations regarding curling that I've made enough mistakes to know almost all the things not to do now, which is something that not a lot of people my age can say for themselves. I mean I still have an infinite amount of improving to do before I'll ever consider myself to be good, but I'm a big fan of that "tough love" perspective (in a fair way); especially when I apply it to myself.
Anyway, with the end of class tomorrow, the start of exams, my parents going away for a week on Friday, the situation on the weekend and the quart of white rum in my fridge, who knows what'll happen this weekend. I'm guessing anything and everything. Or at least that's what I'm hoping!
