Friendship.

...it's the best.

There's nothing better than having a Sober Saturday with some of your best friends, while also sharing this time with some new friends.

It's 4:30am right now. I'm not drunk. I'm not high. And I'm not even tired. God, I love nights like these. :)

Down, down, down...

Life in general is starting to take a toll on me.

My body is trying to tell me to slow down a little bit, I think. I haven't been feeling too great the past two days. I feel very tired during the day, and I am unmotivated at practice. I feel like I'm getting a cold.

My leg is still infected...and sliding today on the turf at the baseball field certainly did not feel good on it. My shoulder is giving me serious issues. It hurts every day. It feels like it needs one good pop and then it will be ok. Who knows, I just need it to be fine enough to play. As long as it stays in its socket, that's fine with me.

On a different subject...
I know I've always gone for people who are older than me, but is 4/5 years too much? Its just a weird situation. Innocent, but weird. We'll see how things unfold, I suppose.

It's the most wonderful time of the year!!!!!!1

So softball has officially taken over my life now. Practice 6 days per week, lifting twice per week, long practices on the weekends...oi.

We had our first scrimmage today (OUTSIDE, BRRR) and it was awesome. Considering my first at-bat was a 3 run homer to right field off Ali, I'd say I'm off to a pretty good start! Then I walked, then I hit a really hard line drive at Dev that she couldn't field, then I hit a single to right to bring in the game-winning run in the last inning. The team I was on (the red team) won 10-9 after holding off the white squad in the bottom of the last inning. Woo wooooo.

This year, I think we are going to rely on our bats pretty heavily. Our defense is great, don't get me wrong, but we're still lacking the true #3 pitcher in our rotation. Right now, it looks as if it will be Nikki, a walk-on freshman. She's pretty good.

But what will win us our games will definitey be our big sticks and timely hitting. Here's the batting order and positions I think Coach Blood should do:

1. Devon - 2B. A real good leadoff batter who can definitely start things early for us.
2. Marissa - LF. A slapper who can bunt/slap and just put the ball in play for us.
3. Aly - SS. Power hitter capable of driving in runs if she doesn't freak out.
4. Elise - 3B. Hot and cold sometimes...but when she's hot she's on fire.
5. Me - 1B. I make good contact. I'm working on becoming more of a power hitter though.
6. Jessy - RF. When she hits the ball she hits it HARD.
7. Keener - DP. She's a frosh but she can fricken rip the ball.
8. Meg - CF. This girl can hit the ball farther than I've ever seen.
9. Vanessa - C. When she makes contact its good. It's just a matter of staying on a hot streak.

I doubt this will be the actual order that we will post come game-time...but whatever. It's just what I feel is the best for the team, based on what I saw in the scrimmage today. Who knows what goes on in Coach's mind...he sees things way different than we do.

Anyways, softball is great. It provides me with a concrete schedule and I find that I'm a better student during season. The social aspect of life calms down a bit, but I still find some quality "me time" on some Wednesday or Thursday nights...lol.

And as much as the green room sucks...it's way better than the freezing cold weather outside :)

Steinem, Gloria

The truth may set you free, but at first it's gonna piss you off.

Open your eyes

My bones ache, my skin feels cold. I'm getting so tired and so old.

Get up, get out, get away from these liars. Because they don't get your soul or your fire.

Every minute from this minute now, we can do what we like anywhere.
