i just like to get hurt... not only was i popped in the mouth the other week, but today at lax i was checked in the face. but this wasn't my fault lovely lindsay (she's a nice girl really, a great one) does not know how to check. she seems to believe that treating your stick like an axe is the correct way of check, so she slashes across and around...watch out when she's around. so already at practice today she had hit a girl in the head with her lovely checking. then while we were scrimmaging, i had the ball, and therese and lindsay inadvertantly made a wedge (standing right next to each other right infront of me) so as i'm turning around to roll dodge them, lindsay reaches over to try and check me...but instead its me straight on in the face with her stick. lovely. so it hurts, and i start crying ( i couldn't help it! i was in a little shock) luckily (and boy am i lucky) nothing broken, i don't even think i'll have a mark or anything, but this really rbrought into realization how careful i need to be. if someone hits me in the head, the spot where i had surgery can open up, and then i get to go back to the hospital. i need to tell lindsay that. so even before i was checked i was kinda annoyed with lindsay for not thinking about how she was playing, part of the game is using your mind. and so now i am kinda pissed, because it wasn't an accident, and she could've controlled it. this weekend cousin's barmitzvah in cali. what what. party it up with the g-ma. still thinking about what to do for my birthday....big party? no party? danno. so i should probably go finish this chapter discussion thing whoop dee do.
