I had to say goodbye to my Jeep today. I'll be sadder when I go back home and not see her in the driveway, but I'll be just fine. plus I now have money in the bank. NEST is go.
today I went to an intramural softball game. I was rooting for the Physical Therapy Department's team "The Immobilizers" because that's my girlfriend's team. it's fun to watch for many reasons, the main one being that me and my girlfriend are very good "subtle hecklers." this is an improvement over regular heckling at least in this context because the last time that I wasn't at the game, the Immobilizers as a team got deducted one "sportsmanship rating". and if it gets low enough, they won't be able to play in the playoffs. this is serious too because they have yet to lose a game this season, and are probably a shoe-in for the championship.
but back to the actual heckling. the only way to even it out and not appear to be bad sports is to sporadically add really good things about the other team. so yeah I would yell out that the pitcher's green shoes looked ridiculous with his black and yellow tee and red shorts, but then I would congratulate him on a good pitch. I have a feeling that I singlehandedly helped raise the sportsmanship rating just by clapping for the other team every once in a while. it's a good thing that we have gotten so good at being covertly mean, because otherwise I'd never be invited back to a softball game again.
and we all know that I'm such a nice guy.
