On Fire ...

Man, i'm in a good mood today - i wonder how long it will last :o)

It started last night ... Y'day, I was feeling extremely nauseous and after Max Brenner, I really felt like throwing up! hmm but there must have been something in the chocolate, because despite feeling sick, I played my best frisbee game in over a month!

The first game wasn't brilliant ... I was up against Belinda's and Steve's team .. I had to defend Belinda in the first half of the game (hehe spent half of it talking to her about my MB outing :p) and then we swapped, as my other female teammate preferred marking her than Belinda's teammate (who's really good) .. I played div 4 with Belinda, whilst Belinda and my current teammate were on other div 4 teams .. Belinda's teammate is heaps good, has such a powerful forehand and she's tall too! Such a disadvantage :p

Anyhoos, I scored 1 point and it felt good .. real confidence booster :o) I really needed that after playing so badly lately :o/ Then I kinda stuffed up a little in that I didn't clear out properly, so my defender was in the way of the disc for my captain .. Thankfully he got the disc, and I was left poached so I ran long towards the endzone .. but then one of my teammates went to catch the disc (he was a little in front of me) but was too short and it bounced out of his hands... he started swearing, but didn't realise I was behind him to back him and caught the disc on the rebound .. he then saw , stopped swearing and then ran to the endzone where we then scored :o) So whilst I didn't actually score it, I helped to score that point and it felt good ..

We won by 1 point, and I only dropped the disc once (i ran too far forward, when I didn't need to .. and it went flying over my head and was a bit too short in my jump for it :o/)

Second game was heaps better though .. I scored 4 and we won by 1 :o) (I scored more than half our team's goals) ... In the last point though, I could have possibly tried to score again, but I kinda lost concentration and didn't run for the disc hard enough .. I was surprised I actually managed to catch the disc at all though last night :o) One of the goals was a hammer - good thing i'd practiced catching those beforehand .. Another, the area wasn't really clear and my defender got her hand on the disc just as I caught it (thought she'd block it but thankfully didn't) .. Another was in the corner, going slightly fast .. Whilst another went flying to my right and I really didn't think i'd be fast enough to catch it .. was going to give up running, but thankfully I didn't and stretched out my hands and it stayed in them :o) It was almost a one handed catch!

My teammate said I had sticky fingers last night as most of my catches stuck .. which was partly true as I'd eaten an orange before the game and didn't wash my hands properly so my fingers were slightly sticky :p

I think practice at Chelle's party also helped :p Ruth, Ryan, Xerx and I think Kel? were all fighting for the remote control .. Xerx and Ryan kept passing it to each other, and Ryan went to throw it across the table to Xerxes .. it went flying over the table and I just reached my hand up and caught it (one handed in my left hand .. I honestly thought i'd drop it!) .. Xerx was like "What a catch!!!" (he was surprised and also relieved cos he was sure he'd drop it :p) :o) Ah was good practice :o)

Missed Mamo's pre-surgery dinner as a result of frisbee (Phil - you're such a liar about me not having frisbee on! :p) --> soz dude! (though I did see you at various bbq's on the weekend :p .. Speaking of which, fotos will be up soon once I actually upload them to my pc and then Xerx' server) ...

Also got a good fone call from my manager today - fingers crossed everything he says will eventuate :o) (not going to jinx myself by talking about that convo on my blog :p)

Ta ta for now :o)
