(no subject)

I did not open my computer once this weekend, not for school work nor for lj, and am now therefore dreadfully behind in both.

Please, if anything momentous happened, tell me now.

My weekend, on the other hand, was totally trivial, utterly unproductive, and possibly the most fun I've had in recent memory. I played softball on Friday and Saturday night with a team made up of people who are about as bad at the game as I am, a handful of mediocre players, and three honestly decent ones. We played hard, lost hard, and had a ton of fun. On Saturday night, after the tournament was over, we had a barbecue and then went up to the on campus bar/club thing for Eddie (ie: Education Student) Night. I drove to the barbecue and ended up staying over that night at my sectionmate's because I was just on the shady side of intoxication for driving. Also, some utterly nasty guy tried to kidnap me off to "a party back at his house" at last call, so I latched on to one of the gentlemen in the group I'd come with and clung to him with an uncharacteristic lack of respect for his personal space until we were well and away.

Have I mentioned how much fun I'm having with this program? It's the high school/undergrad experience I never had. The work is moderately intellectually demanding, I am old enough to drink, and I am together enough now to know when I can relax and have a good time instead of worrying all the time about school work.

Of course, there are less fun moments. Like today when I got a ball in the face during gym. We were playing a modified game of dodgeball that was supposed to be demonstrating the ways in which dodgeball didn't have to be an unsubtle metaphore for Darwinistic principles when one of the guys in my section got over-excited and whipped the rubber-covered foam ball with great force and little accuracy.

I have a fat lip.

Also, the modified version of dodgeball seemed to have a lot in common the traditional version as I remember it.

*ices down face*

I wish you could be, too! We're supposed to be playing flag football next weekend and I think you would make a lovely addition to our team.

I can assure you that you've missed absolutely positively nothing on my end, except that I bought a new bedspread. Which I realize is only exciting for me.

How's your lip?

I keep meaning to email you, but then I forget. *snuggles you anyway*

I feel like I haven't talked to you in ages.

Because I haven't.

*shnoogles you hard*

My lip is, sadly, split but healing.
