Dun dun dun!

Writing posts during class while you're supposed to be doing other things is fun. The excitement, the danger, the chance of being caught... Actually, we're not doing much right now; the teacher's just taking attendance so we're all messing around on the internet until she tells us what to do. I think we're going to picking our team's for our Pigskin Geography thingamajig. I really hate Pigskin Geography. It sucks. I have my first soccer practice of my very last year in Optimist Soccer tonight. I bought new soccer shoes yesterday because the one's I bought last year gave me blisters on my toes. I forgot to buy a new soccer ball, though. >.> That's ok; I'll just buy one another time or find my old one at my dad's house this weekend. Ah, and my birthday weekend approaches. Its going to be quite a busy weekend. I've got the party at my dad's on Friday, then I've got the party at the Dority Inn in Alma on Saturday and Sunday, then Sunday is our very first soccer game of the season I believe; its kind of strange if you ask me; I guess they just kind of got a late start with the season this year, but I'm fine with that. Then I've got no school on Monday and I think I have a free schedule that day. I'll try to work on a few things, like, my story and Cliche... I finshed reading Cowboy Bebop #1 last night and started #2. Its quite funny; especially the prison scene in #1, but I wont elaborate any further. =P Hmm... I hope I get the same team I got last year in soccer. You see, my first year in soccer, the way they organized teams was a random drawing. Then, in my second year, some parents got on the board or whatever, and started placing their kids with the best players, so, with this going on, I ended up getting stuck with a team that lost almost every single game we played, for about 5 years in a row. Think about that. I got stuck with the same losing team. 5 years in a row. Yeah, I was friends with just about everyone on my team, but, still, its just not fair to put the same people on the same team 5 years in a row! But last year, last year was different. I got a completely different team, and it was a pretty damn good team, too. The players were all really nice, I didn't know anybody but I made some new friends; my mom was happy because all of the kids were from Beal City so she conversed with the parents with ease, because she's from Beal City, too. My mom was really happy about the players on the team being from Beal City, because she thinks the parents of the kids from Mount Pleasant are all snobby, stuck-up pricks. And they are, too. Same with their kids. But, we won I think, 5 out of our 7 games last year, which is pretty cool. I was really happy about our first game; it was on my birthday and we won 8-0. I also liked my coaches from last year; they were these really nice CMU(Central Michigan University) students who had played soccer in High School; they gave me and another girl some extra practice just to help us with our goalie skills because we both wanted to play goalie, so that was pretty cool. I hope I get a good team this year. I really hope I do; if I don't I'm going to be really pissed off. But, eh, I think I might as well end this. So, later. -DDG
