| I AM A HOOKER!!!!... kinda... well... no... but i'd like to learn to be one... wait... that sounds bad... lemme rephrase... I WANNA BE THE RUGBY HOOKER... no... bad again... forget it... you just had to be there! so yeah... yesterday was AWESOME!!! very non-stressful... god knows just how much i need those days... i went on the ISC exchange with other girls and guys for CHS/DLS... we had soooooooooo much fun and it was really cool to get to know the people from St. Elizabeth's in Oakland... we hiked through Tilden Park... it was absolutely gorgeous and the weather was soooo perfect... it couldn't have been better except for when during the hike i stepped in the creek and my foot got all wet... the water was hella cold too... but oh well... i got partnered up with Dale Johnson... he's the ASB President at St. Liz... really cool guy too... i thought it was all too perfect that our little symbol was a graduation cap!!! yeah... good stuff... he's such a cool guy too... i think we bonded aight... and i bonded with a lot of other guys too... some that i kinda knew already just in passing and then other guys i'd never met before from DLS... i wish it could've been longer cuz it felt like we had just started to have real fun without getting to know the other school cuz that barrier fell in the morning... good times good times... the hike was a blast... nothing like beautiful scenery, a cool gentle breeze, and a guy that can hold a conversation... and a stimulating one at that... the naturalist was tight too... she knew a lot and made it really fun and exciting... in the end though she started to plug being a forest or park ranger/specialist... yeah... i guess it sounds like a cool job if that's your thing... nature's so incredible... makes you take a step back from the hectic high school life... so yeah... back to the exchange... lunch was hella fun too... we had sandwiches and talked... it was me and dale and randy and randy aka "mr. johnson... mr. harry johnson"... lol... and jamie and jane and steph and eddie and latonya and another girl from st. liz that i never quite got the name of... hella fun!!!... talked about the good 'ol days when TV watchin was accessable.. simpsons on dvd and ARTHUR!!!! yay!!! we got into this whole conversation of why animated series like arthur or even mickey mouse have characters that are animals.. but then those animals have PETS! crazy... pets with pets!!!! freakishly odd if you ask me... like arthur and his dog pal... arthur can talk... but pal goes "woof"... hmmmmm... and then mickey with his dog pluto... but then there's goofy... are they two different species and that's what makes the difference... or is goofy just more evolved!?!.. ok... so after this talk... randy aka "mr. johnson with a need for lotion for his burning hand" tried to learn to clown-walk... it was funny to watch him attempting to be ghetto-fied... speaking of which... EDDIE CAN FLOW!!! hella tight... that's so hard to do too... wow... after all this... I LEARN HOW TO PLAY RUGBY... G and Nate taught me how to play... like throwing and how you can only through laterals or behind you and that to start a play you've gotta touch the ball to your heel and that after there's a down the other sides gotta line up 5 meters (or was it yards) back and the rules behind kicking and off-sides and "try"s and "knock-outs?"/offs (i forget the terminology) but yeah... IT WAS SOOOOOO MUCH FUN!!!! and then we actually played... and I scored!!!! YAY!!!!! it was a rush! ms. daniels talked to me about a lunchtime co-ed game on the new CHS field... cuz rugby is international/cultural and i'm the president of the culture club... we'll see how that goes... but yeah... so back to the HOOKERS... it's a position in rugby... and there are posts and locks and other cool names for positions... our team name was "THE HOOKERS!!!"... so much fun we lost... but i scored so it was allllllll good... all thanks to Nate who threw me the ball... yay! ok... so after the game... we wrapped it up and cleaned the picnic area and said our buh-byes... and left Tilden Park... the busride home was pretty tight too... i'll blog about that later... so i'ma post this now so lauren can start readin up! hehe.. "hi!!!!"... i'll be back! |
