5 days 'till practice starts!! 2 weeks 'till my Birthday!!

Yeah!! Real practice starts on Monday after school, and Soccer is ending, which means we'll be able to take batting practice outside of the cage!!! The blasted soccer team has been hoarding the outfield for weeks, and it was beginning to bug me. I mean, the pitching machine is great, but it lacks the element brought by a human arm. I admit, it was good for working on my right-handed technique, and it gave me down time to use a tee, but live pitching is gonna rock!!! And having more than 15 minutes for Infield...AAAHHHH! Heaven! Infield is absolutely the best of the best of the best of the best of the best of the best!!

Speaking of which (?), My birthday is in exactly two weeks! Yeah, Ash Wednesday is in exactly two weeks as well. This situation would be really bad, except that we (Nordhoff) get President's week off, so I can have a celebration of sorts during the week or the weekend before. My brother (his birthday is on the 20th, he's younger than me) and I will have our birthday's merged, and we'll have a wonderful "party" which means we'll eat cake and ice-cream in the evening and have a few presents...whoopee...
I need to do something exciting for my birthday sometime. But my parents won't really help me arrange anything, and they don't like big gatherings of my friends at this house, and I don't want to ask people to host my birthday party...I think my biggest regret is that I wasn't born during the Baseball season. IF I was, I could just get a bunch of people and go to a Dodger game...that would be so awesome!!! But alas, I'm born before Spring Training even begins.

On a completely different note, My sister and I are choreographing a small part of the Nordhoff Musical (Anything Goes). A very small part. As in, a few minutes of dancing...we're doing a little bit of Tango, with a weird slow interlude, and then some semi-modified Rumba stuff. It's pretty cool. They just asked us yesterday because they're choreographer is not a Ballroom dancer, and supposedly Liz and I are Ballroom experts (heh, of course! Experts...right) But hey, we'll get credit in the program, and everything. Pretty cool.

Well, I should head to bed, but I think I'll leave you with one of the wise sayings with which I am teeming: If a skunk quacks, shoot it.

Wise, eh? I'll try to remeber that.
Why don't you have a large gathering at like a park or something like that?
I already told you this, but your birthday being on Ash Wednesday isn't as bad as my 7th being on Good Friday. :( It was a sad birthday. I think it was nuber seven. The age of reason. Poor me; I was doomed from the start.
...Or you could have a really late birthday party at a Dodger's game. Bing's had her's six months late before.

Ooh, Anything Goes? That's a fun one, good luck with it.

Well, I dunno...I still think my birthday's pretty unfortunate this year. I'll probly just end up inviting a few people over to hang out, or to go somewhere cool.

Well, I'm not even technically part of the musical...even though everyone begged me too and pretty much promised me the lead :-P

Yeah, well, you're half birthday is August 21st, so you should have a party then.

Happy feast of St. Valentine! Sheila, I want to ask you something... ;)

tduckybushenshrub said...

Erm....what about a BB gun?

Zenka said...

A BB gun and a pet quacking skunk. Or maybe a stuffed quacking skunk, so it'll be good for more than one use. That's what's about a BB gun.
