April Sucker's Day
I maybe already hate April Fool's Day.
Buster Hyman sent out a thrilling email saying that WFTDA 3.0 has been released, we have to learn the new rules and pass a 50 question test to be able to bout. I was all over the WFTDA website looking for them, before I had even gone looking I had written (but thankfully not sent!) an email to my captains ("Seriously, can we not change the rules with only two bouts left in the season?") - and then I said wait a second, that's right, Hit Man was in the lunch room getting sugar packets to use as fake cocaine...it's April Fool's Day.
The next thing was a ThinkGeek.com email with some really cool products, all of which turned out to be April Fool's Jokes ("personal soundtrack" t-shirt with speaker, USB pregnancy test, and the biggest disappointment - caffeinated breakfast cereal).
At least Ger, of saint-n-swine, has posted some really awesome bout pictures on Facebook. It was a really awesome bout for pictures! I had to hang out with my mom on Sunday so I have lost the buzz/adrenaline high that would have lead to an energetic write-up, but basically we kicked some serious butt and beat the Deltas by about 30 points. In the last bout, both our top jammers (MEDUSA and Torii) scored 46 points each. And they both regularly score that much, I think 'Dusa even had 64 in the first bout! So to hold the Deltas to not much more than 30 points is absolutely incredible (final score was roughly 60-30, official stats haven't been sent out yet and I don't remember exactly).
My mom and dad were there, with my Grandpa, my godparents, my mom's friend, and then three more of my mom's friends - from high school! (plus their husbands.) Jay's mom and her boyfriend showed up as a surprise (and Donna brought me a rose, awww), and Craig and Shannon were there, too. It was a big night for me! Plus my drunk father was talking about coming back next month - I told him to save it for the championship.
In two weeks - just under - I'll be skating in my first interleague bout down in Lincoln (well, I hope. Final roster decisions, if they've been made, have not been announced; we have a team of 17 but only 14 skaters can play).
