OUR TEAM IS GOING TO PROVINCIALS!!!!
I TRY to be modest, really, I do, but provincials is the BIGGEST deal for girls hockey. It's HUGE. Honestly. So, because my team has won 2/3 games SO FAR, we are guarenteed a spot. YESS!
Bt the game we played today wasn't that easy. Just to start, we beat the team 2-1. And, we out shot them 38 to 15. Alone, we had 18 shots in the first period, and that's A LOT.
Secondly, I had the most EMBARRASING moment of my life on the ice today. Actually, I had two embarassing moments today, but I'll tell you about the second one later. The whstle blew and we were changing lines, and the ref comes up to me and asks me a question, here's my annpying convo:
ref: "number 11, can i see you gloves?"
me: "uhhhhh... sure?" (so i flash him my gloves)
ref: "you have holes in them."
me: "I KNOW."
By this time, everyone is watching me, and the change has "briefly" been delayed.
ref: "It's rule, that your not allowed to play with holes in your gloves. You could reach out of your gloves and grab someone's cage."
me: (and now I'm fuckin PISSED) "umm.... OKAY."
ref: "yeah"
me: (after a long pause...) "sooooo..."
ref: "you can't play unless you have an other pair of gloves."
so... stressed, embarassed and pissed I go to the bench. The coaches are curious as to wtf is going on, and I'm completely raged... so i sit down and everyone looks at me. The refs come over and tell my coaches what's up, and fortunatley my coach has an extra pair in her car. So, my coach asks, "can she play just one more shift?" and the guy says the most unbelievable thing I've ever heard. (and I've been called some pretty outrageous things) he goes... "well... just because she's TALL...." and skates away.
YOU MF A-HOLE! Jeez... like, what's wrong with you man? I took it fine, everbody on my team was laughing, and so was I, but I couldn't belive that someone would ACTUALLY say that. That's low.
Yeah, so that's not the end of the shinanigans. I mean, there was SO much stuff I could say, but I wanted to highlight only the important things, such as this huge brawl that broke out 5 minutes from the end of the game. My friend was in front of their net, she doesn't touch the goalie AT ALL, the whistle blows (meaning the play is dead) and one idiot comes flying at her and absolutely ROCKED her! It was brutal! So, she's squirming, trying to break free from this crazy ass biotch, and my other friend comes in and absolutely wrecked the other girl. (as an act to stick up for her teammate who is currently having trouble BREATHING under that monster.)
So, the refs (who btw, were so amateur) took at least 10 minutes to decide who got what penalties, and if I could describe the end of the game, I WOULD. But because the game was so chaotic, with penalties here and there every 30 seconds, I really don't remember. But believe me, it was INSANE.
My second embarassing moment today, well, this one was HILARIOUS. In my class, we are working on plays. My group which has 6 people (5 girls, 1 boy) were given the play "Four boyfriends" TO DESCRIBE IN SHORT FORM: 1 girl had 4 boyfriends, her and her bff are at the mall when all four of them show up, and they don't know each other, in the end, she ends up losing all her boyfriends because they realize she was cheating.
I'm one of the boyfriends named James, and there is one point in the play when we all start to discover what's really going on. So, the first boyfriend goes "I thought I was your one and only brooke!" and then I'm SUPPOSE to go: "Yeah! I thought you were my only girlfriend!" The sad part is that, although I was suppose to say that, I ended up saying (and very passionately, I really got into the role of my character ;)) "I thought I was your only girlfriend!"
Everyone started laughing, and I really didn't get it until about 10 seconds later. OH. How stupid could I be? Unfortunately, this happens a lot.
Congrats to Canada's second gold medal! And to the first FEMALE to win gold on home soil! Unfortunately, I don't have her name (because I'm to lazy to go search it) but I do know that she was a snowboarding doing some downhill race.
My family and I have become experts in figure skating in the last 2 days. We have been so critical of all their moves and outfits, especially OUTFITS. We're like "His double toe-loop wasn't that smooth, and he's got no speed!" "YEAH, but he can do a quad!" "well, it doesn't count for sh** unless he can land IT!" "DUH! But his spins are great!" and that's only a few performances from the men's short program TODAY. You should have heard us yesterday, and then there's still the women's performances and men's free style skating... oh boy. This is going to be fun :)
