ok, so i have a funny story from this morning... but i suck at telling stories so it might just come out stupid, but here goes...
so i was at practice (rowing)
we were on the dock, getting our oars so we could launch
however, our oars were stuck under one of the oars of the other boat
so i thought i'd be nice and help them push off the dock.
so i started pushing tash's blade
but she wasn't pushing back so the boat wasnt moving, just her oar was
so i told her to push away (like gradually, ya know)
but she slammed her oar into the oarlock (pushing it all the way out)
however, i was right there
and her blade nailed me in the gut
it pushed me back about a foot on the dock
unfortunately i only had about 6" left of dock behind my left foot
so my left foot went in
as did my entire left leg
but my right leg was left up on the dock
with me in a very uncomfortable split
so i pulled my right leg in with me to get out of that position
so by this point I'm totally submerged in the water
but before i can lift myself out
2 girls from my boat grab my 2 arms
and drag me out of the water
then someone grabed a leg
and swung me around on the dock
i ended up sprawled on top of our oars
soaking wet
w/ a big bruise on my left inner shin
and w/ the most painful bruise in my crotch
so sorethe entire practice
and now i can't even sit properly w/o any pain "down there"
hehehehehe, so how did ya like my story???

that's it ;)

hey, go sign up for the turkey trot!!!

I'll be running with a big giant (my brother) and a few of his friends, but knowing them, they are gonna be really slow... ;)
well, go sign up!!!!

so a birdie told me it was snowing in buffalo today... is this true??? ahahaha... sorry, i just find it funny that its snowing ;)
i was up in GA this weekend and the mornings were like 35-40 degrees and were were absolutely freezing, granted we were on the water and all we had on were 2 layers of spandex and a sweatsuit on over... but still!!! freezing!!!!
oh, but we are back here in miami, hehehe, it was funny, this morning i had on shorts and a tee as i was walking outside and my roommate told me "oh, you are gonna be cold out there" so i put on a sweater... what was she talking about??? it was warm out!!! ahhh, i love it!!!
but what i did notice is that christmas stuff is already up all over where were were in GA, and there is NOTHING here, nothing at all, and they really never really have much except for this big santa that they put up on this one corner in the middle of Coral Gables (the city UM is actually located in) and that even looks weird, i remember seeing it freshmen year and thinking "christmas in july" weird though, weird...
ahhh, what am i thinking about christmas for, thanksgiving hasn't even happened yet... oh i can't wait for some good food (i just hope my mom's not cooking, jk) heheheh ;)
but have some fun in that snow for me!!! and leave a little bit for me so i can go sledding, then it can all melt ;)

herm, well I don't really know what to write... but I haven't written much lately... been really busy with school work, I hate being busy with school work, no time for play :( but I get my first "vacation" of the semester, well acutally just a race up in Georgia, but a nice little change of scenery... we get to see colorful trees with the orange, and red and yellow!!! oh, but the cold :( oh well, its 3 days...
speaking of going up north, im gonna be home for thanksgiving!!! is there anything going on around then??? between the 24th and 28th???
what about the turkey trot??? I've always wanted to do that... or oh, I don't know... im up for anything, I have 4 days, and I get really bored of my family FAST!!! even on thanksgiving... woops :( oh well... im off ;)

wow, its been forever since i've gone trick-or-treating... like at least 8 years i'd say, but as a senior in college, i had the irrestable urge to go trick-or-treating. and it was soooo mcu fun!!!
however, there were several things i discovered last night:
1) trick-or-treating around a college campus doesn't work so well... their on to us not being little kids :(
2) it's totally different to do it in miami than in buffalo... all i remember about trick-or-treating when i was little was bundling up in my winter coat and possibly boots, and then my costume on top, running from house to house just to stay warm... here complete opposite, we had wife-beaters and shorts on wiith just sheets on top and were were sweating like crazy :( trying to slow down and take breaks frequently to air out, sick eh???
3) it might not be a good idea to dress up as a group of blue and maroon ghosts... apparently people thought we were "terrorists" or "talliban" or "arabs" and one women taking her kids around even told us something about how we better not be voting on tuesday, whatever that means (???) We were ghost, colorful ghosts cuz those were the only sheets we had. GHOSTS!!!
4) it's hard to play off being little kids when 3 of the 5 of us were over 5'8", you can really only squat for soo long and its soo obvious when you do that too
5) (on a political note) of all the houses with "bush" signs, only one answered their door and gave us a treat. all but one "kerry" sign house gave ussomething, and one that was out of candy even gave us money (???) didn't expect that... this is just another reason to vote for John Kerry!!! Kerry people are nicer to kids!!!
6) it's not the good candy you are hoping for from the next house, but for someone to just give out some water!!! (back to the hot miami aspect of it)
7) even at the age of 21, trick-or-treating is soo much fun!!!!
