    whiptails are cool
    A certain JK has charged me with thinking up a quote for the Wellesley news in the next 42 minutes re: Regionals. So what is there to say?

    It was awesome, for one thing. I spent the week before being nervous about being upset in the first two rounds by Smith or Northeastern, to the point where, as our coach so kindly put out in another public forum, I felt rather ill before the Northeastern game. And then we got steamrolled by Tufts. And I know that all doesn't sound awesome, but it really was. I probably shouldn't give that to the newspaper.

    I was proud with how we played though, especially on day 2. And I wasn't even really sad to be knocked out by MIT, to get 4th. It would've been cool to play in the game to go to nationals, sure (and really cool to win it, though lets not get ahead too much). But realistically, after that game, Tufts just would've flattened us again. I know I had nothing left, and I'm pretty sure no one else on the field was doing much better. We achieved our season goals as a team, and I think everyone left feeling happy with how Regionals went for us.

    And for my personal feelings, getting 3 handblocks on that handler from MIT over the course of two points, especially when she'd been breaking me a lot at Sectionals and Yale Cup, definitely didn't hurt.

    So for once I'm having a wonderful wonderful time with my life. I spent the weekend at Dartmouth playing ultimate and staying far longer than I intended to doing fun stuff like layouts off of a dock into the river (which, by the way, I am not so good at, mainly because I forget to actually dive and instead focused more on the layout part, which results in a bellyflop for anyone who's interested) and watching supertroopers for the first time. And tonight is the much awaited reciprical visit, which, I am told, is already being referred to as 'epic' and 'worth telling stories about for years to come'. So it should be a good time... a very good time. And it'll make me clean my room, which'll probably lead to me packing up half my stuff instead of putting it away, because I need to put my life into my car in 2 days anyways. But yeah. Life is good here. I miss my whips though. And Happy Birthday Julia, have an awesome day hon.

    I wear colored lenses
    And clear plastic raincoats.
    Though I see you in green and blue and purple,
    I don't have all the colors yet
    To get the full picture.
    But I'm starting to like getting my feet wet,
    Even with my raincoat still keeping me mostly dry.
    And I'm learning to live with the music.
    I'm learning to let myself move to the changing rhythms,
    So I start to see the colors spin together,
    Beautiful vibrant puddles to splash in,
    Or fall through.
    As the shimmered whirls evolve,
    Flow with the improv-
    Sacred midnight vibrations
    Set against the deep dark sky
    Littered with little sparkles,
    Droplets of another life I could've had
    With other lenses or raincoats.
    But I'm here now;
    They're lifetimes away.
    And you can still see through me,
    No matter what lenses I wear.

    im back from the ct weekend (well the ct day and a half)
    reel big fish was most awesome
    i have developed a new affection for the show seaquest, after staying up until 430am with brenton watching olds tapes of it. (and besides the seaquest it was so so so good to finally see him again after 3 months)
    then thanksgiving dinner, which we had saturday instead of thursday because my grandma felt guilty about going to madison for thanksgiving again this year.
    and seeing west side story at ghs, because steph was pit master. and seeing a lot of people there who i used to see and be able to at least hold a conversation with. not so anymore.
    and then waking up at 6am to drive back here to study for (the last) midterm tomorrow. which i haven't started doing yet. that's another oops.

    i was talking with rae friday, about school stuff. it was one of those depressing, what are we doing here conversations. what is it worth to be taking orgo (which i'm not) or multivariable calc (which i am) or econ or anything else here instead of somewhere else? it's not like we get some super secret extra knowledge that they'll only tell us because we go to wellesley. i always wonder why i'm happy here. and if i would be just as happy if i had actually put effort into looking for and applying to college.
    well it'll be done with in another 2.5 years. and then it won't really matter anymore. i'll go somewhere and get a job and start a new life by myself again.

    i have missed
    wearing skirts to work every day
    living off carbs and inhaling pasta every meal
    6 glasses of orange juice a day
    having people nearly next door all the time to toss with
    constant first class checking
    high speed internet
    my plant
    hot chocolate and copy center-el table
    team dinners in beebe
    never turning off the laptop
    walks to cvs
    waking up before 7 on weekends to leave for tournaments
    how happy being here makes me

    its time to leave
    i don't want to be here anymore. i don't even care about packing anymore, i just want to be in my car driving to wellesley and in my dorm even if it's only with the clothes i have on right now. when it gets to be so you're not eating and not sleeping and crying every time you open your mouth something is very wrong. i've lost the ties that have kept me here. they were strong enough to make me happy even through the rest of life, but they aren't anymore. there is no reason for me to stay, no reason to come back. [unless it's a drive through to go play ultimate in nyc] i am suffocating here even when i'm all alone. always alone. i need to go.

    so i went to a party last night, and in addition to learning some interesting frisbee games, i also witnessed beer pong for the first time ever. i also made my first shot ever playing beer pong, which i was rather surprised at given my complete lack of hand-eye coordination/throwing skills. don't let the ultimate fool you. just think back to any softball game i've ever played in.

    so getting home was fun last night. what with almost running out of gas, and hebron ave being closed down [which, for anyone who doesnt know glastonbury hebron ave is the only way to get to my house] so i had a lovely detour through the rest of glastonbury.
    and a fun fact: the misalignment of my tires mirrors hebron ave, that section between keeney street and manchester road they just redid. so when i drive home there, i don't need to steer at all.

    my new favorite phrase is "she's so rich she ovulates Faberge eggs"

    last night was really good, beginning to end. it made me happy; gives me hope.

    i'm trying to get back to school early. and by early i mean moving in august 30 with the first-years, or even sometime the week before, as opposed to september 4th like i'm supposed to.

    and someone should really volunteer to give me a back massage. seriously. i could use one.
