ULTIMATE!

Hiya alls! Just some funny happenings to tell you about.

My new thing is Ultimate Frisbee. I even got cleats and a frizbee! It's fast, easy to learn and fun. we usually have around 10 to 20 people come and its a blast. We play late at night in the intermural fields at the colledge. There are some lights but it is a bit hard to see... but that makes it all the more interesting. If you don't know how to play you are really missing out!

It seems that no matter what I do I hurt myself and/or others when I get involved in sports. A couple of weeks ago I tripped Kylee and made her faceplant. (I felt really bad about that one) I crash into people and because I'm tall I'm always defense which means I have jumping matches verses people. I jammed my thumb real good as it met an elbow going the opposite direction. Both were moving which increased the force upon my thumb. When moving at high speed I cant seem to stop fast enough. Today was no exception. I was sprinting ( I seem to always be sprinting) and almost had the Frisbee when WHAM! I met my teammate. Needless to say the Frisbee did not get caught and I had to sit it out for a little bit. He was Ok and it seemed I took most of the damage. I also ran into Chris but because his mass is higher then mine I kinda bounced off.


Not a very good picture but you get the idea!

Well the funny part was what happened over the duration of the game. It was cold so i layered up. See you layer yourself then as you heat up you take off what you don't need. Other people weren't so smart so they didn't have many layers. I felt bad and started giving some of my layers to others. Soon i was in shorts and a light jacked while others had my sports pants, my outer jacket and my gloves. As long as i kept moving I was good. But there was so many people at ultimate this night we did 3 teams with the losing team sitting out. So I froze even though i had prepared the most. But it was STILL fun! I like ultimate!

Well I don't feel bad about it. I just found it kinda funny.

Hope your all doing fine and not hurting yourself like I tend to do!
