20:45: saturday was this year's first women's hat tournament. true, i didn't get any sleep at all the previous night because i saw the tourney as the end of my days on earth, but once i got on the field, nerves just went away. probably because everything happened so quickly, my mind had no time to panic.
i just love our team name: pakdatsheet. (what do we pack? sheet! what's on the field? sheet! what are we full of? sheet!) it started as a joke, but when we found out that our first game would be against discarte (reema's and ulan's!) team, we figured " we're dead! pakdatsheet nga!" they slaughtered us in our first game (10-1). but we won every other game after that, including the final, a rematch between pakdatsheet and discarte. those guys are troopers. excellent game played by both teams. that final game was so intense that even aslie, who was just in the sidelines, got a cramp from cheering. the party was fun, too! was a long wait, but it was way cool.... imagine people tripping on happy cookies (too bad i didn't get any...) and various prizes given away at awards... from a pretty little italian disc for the best thrower (reema), to a brownie for each member of the team winning the spirit award (discarte).
so the pain in my knee has me limping, but no, i didn't die. and i gotta say... ULTIMATE DISC ROCKS!
