No thanks, this is why I don`t play organized sports

Oct 09, 2010 20:20

Some sneaky and awfully convincing coworkers (damn those litigation lawyers!) managed to rope me into a flag football tournament organized by the Young Bar Association of Montréal. Me. Football. Oh wait, lemme specify. AMERICAN football. (No tackling though, thank Paolo ( Read more... )

on the job(s), mah f-list is awesome, montreal...c'est ma ville, the great outdoors, i'm afraid of the ball dammit

I suspect this is futile, but: dragonboat?

... since you're already involved in football.

...is the fact that I`ll either be overseas or working during practice sessions a good enough excuse? (I would like to join, definitively, but the timing is difficult and it might get...awkward.)

One day of playing =/= involved!!!

There's more than one team, so you don't have to do the super serious routine, and come during summer - though you do have to attend boat practice at one point. :P

Ahahaha. Remind me again in August 2011?

:( American football... sucks, sorry, lol.

I'd be in a hot tub reading porn on my phone. :P

betsyli October 10 2010, 04:03:57 UTC

I agree! Footie = played with a round ball and 22 men, IMO.

Hmmm, hot tub!

Oooh, I am curious. What is this Montreal fandom thing? I read a bit about the community but am unsure about joining? XD

Hope your soreness is not too bad :O.

Join join join! Basically we started out as a bunch of Merlin-related fandomny people...then someone got the bright idea of making a community so that we could set up meetings and the such in an easier and clearer way! If you're free tomorrow, then you should come!

Ugh, its a bit better now...but it's always the morning after that is most painful. :(

blighted_garden October 10 2010, 04:18:01 UTC

Hmm, when is it tomorrow and where? I may or may not show up. I have midterms coming D:.

We're meeting at noon at berri uqam metro, at the round thingy in the middle of all the turnstiles and exits!

I remember playing flag football back in middle school. Yea..didn't really do much but just ran after the dude whoever had the ball lol. I only watch american football when my team is playing, but yea..I definitely perfer playing real football than american football.

betsyli October 11 2010, 23:38:09 UTC

LOL, pretty much! It's like they'll actually use me to make an interesting play (...wait, you mean that I have to CATCH the damn ball? oh shit...), so yes. The only thing is that had it been a soccer tournament, I'd be even dead-er!
