Waves to Lily

Hey gorgeous. How did your match go?

Holds up her taped fingers and bag of ice.

Well, until the end. Jammed my finger pretty bad. We only last by one or two tries, so it wasn't too bad a game in and of itself. Other team was pretty messy, not too fun to play.

Slowly walks in and finds the couch, groaning and collapsing before looking around.

Hey guys.

frees herself from reading briefly and snags Lily, snugs. Carefully!

Had lots of jammed fingers in my time. It's gonna hurt, but every so often literally tug on the finger like you're trying to pop the knuckle. And yeah, ice and tape I hate it when the other team is dirty. But you kept to playing your style and that's what counts

I get to dress up tonight! I'm excited! My grandparents' 50th anniversary dinner. I love wearing pretty dresses.

Yeh, used to jam I a lot during basketball, but it's been years since I played, and therefore years since I last jammed it. And the trainer disappeared before the game was over (really, a brilliant idea for a game that involves nonstop tackling) so I had to wrap it on my own. Was afraid I broke it for a little bit, but it stopped hurting too badly, and I can bend it. We knew they'd be. They're well known for it. It just makes the game a lot less fun. And I couldn't stay for the social (beer and pizza) afterward, so it so wasn't worth it

*rises from his seat, wanders over to the bar, reaching into a few different compartments underneath. Returns with a dark brown bottle without a label and a small square cardboard box, both of which he leaves next to Lily before returning to his seat*

There ya go.

Beer is nasty. But pizza is good. But yeah....I've gone up against teams with reputations like that. You should be thankful you never play ARMY. It's not that the girls themselves were overly mean. They were just like.....Solider Barbies. They were all huge.....All fast and powerful. And they hit like Mac trucks. However.......they sucked at soccer and were predictable. They would take two touches and pass.....and if they had no one to pass to, they kicked it into open space. So, you could get around their pure size and speed by just playing soccer and keeping the ball moving. Their fans were terrible, though. Like....worst fans ever. Flat out cruel.

Opens the box and looks down, grabbing a piece happily and devouring it.

Laughs at the mental image I soldier barbies.

Yeh, I don't usually drink beer, but it grows on you playing rugby. It's a big part of the community things. God, I'd never want to. That's be awful. They'd never go down. And those tackles..

Shudders at the thought

I started today, which I didn't think was happening, even though I deserved to, and I played my position really well, so I'm happy with myself. Our guys team came out to watch, and they'd kinda assholes, but it was funny at the same time. Then again, their fans weren't much better, so I don't feel bad.

But man, whenever I wasn't moving... It was cooid.

Yeah. When I got out of the OR this afternoon, it was freaking snowing. I was like "Uh...seriously? No. Stop it. Right now!" lol Playing in the cold means you have to keep moving, even if you're on the bench. Otherwise, you cool down so fast and your muscles start getting shorter and contracting more....shivering and all that. Not what you're looking for if you have to go back out on the field. And it's a good thing that you know you played well. And its awesome that you started

But yeah. I took some serious hits from the Army girls.....Lets just say it usually took me a minute to get back up.

 

[tigerlilyxx]

yay! Pretty dresses!

I like being girly occasionally. So yay indeed.

Yep, that's what happened. He took me out to get in our other hoooker and then put me back in like 15 minutes later. Staying warm on the side lines is hard. I came off the field thinking it was nice weather. It was not. And by the time I went back on, I knew it wasn't.

But the cold weather helps with injuries. I didn't realize how much my finger hurt until it started thawing.

Lol yes and no. It helps you push through the pain of it, but the pain is there for a reason. Sometimes, it's hard to judge the line between "You're being a wimp" and "You're actually substantially injured" lol

That's true.

A girl broke her nose at practice a week or so ago. Well, techincally my friend's knee broke her nose. I think if given the choice, she'd have been trying to play today. We're not very good at not playing when we're not supposed to.

 

[tigerlilyxx]

I HAZ NOMS!
(Round 1 out of 3)

What kind of noms?

I just made a roasted tomatillo & chipotle salsa.
Tomorrow, I'm slow cooking pork and potatoes in a sauce made from New Mexico chilis and tomatos and such.
And I'll make a second kind of salsa

Hehehehe nice.

I wasn't very good at it, either. I have a permanent ankle injury now because I refused to sit on the bench for longer than two weeks. Sooo.....for 4 years straight...I re-injured that ankle doing the exact same thing. Now, it just won't get better.

Never has been before. Didn't realize it was that easy to bruise a neck. Tonight should be fun. That's where you want a bruise when you're going to have dinner with your extended family.
