wednesday night lights

frisbee last night=awesome. all the hk durians contrived to play on the same team. the other team threw a 3 man zone (it was windy), and we turned it four times before they scored. they were playing man downfield since we were playing three handlers back. when we got back to the line, i told everyone how the handlers should be able to walk the disc up the field just by swinging back and forth, and sure enough, we scored the next one with only one turn (mine, a dumb drop on a swing--it's what you get if you step into a game without having touched a disc yet). i felt very proud, and i think it's one of my first definitive acts towards gaining respect.

afterwards, alicia stuck her foot in her mouth when i complimented her on how much she's improved in the last month by saying, "you too, you've gotten really good...recently..." and i just stood by with a smug smile on my face and let her do it.

it's good to have a team to be playing for. it makes me run a lot more. although i did get beaten deep in the endzone...somehow i was covering a boy, and i was playing where i would've played on a girl...half a step in front of him (we were in the endzone so if he beat me in, they would've scored). he pushed me in and took off toward the back corner where the thrower floated an easy one. i have no idea what i should've done instead. be more ready.

and before frisbee, i went to part of a team dinner with the banking crew. the sashimi was so fresh that it moved. seriously, the lobster head on the sushi boat kept twitching of its own accord...kinda freaky, but the meat tasted no less sweet. they pushed me to drink, but i was a good girl and made fun of them instead. another thing i'm proud of today.

and yesterday, i saw a business man on the escalator with happy aquamarine socks peeping from his pant legs.
