Nov. 6th, 2006 12:10 amSo. Just me, or did LJ not work yesterday for quite a bit? Dunno. I figure it wasn't me, as other sites were still working. Crazy.
Keeping that bloody whistle in my mouth for 4 hours during volleyball hurts like a whore. I'm already getting smoker's wrinkles around my mouth, I know it. It's kind of funny to watch me by the last game of the last match because I've got a headache from loud whistling right in front of my face and my jaw and teeth hurt from keeping them clenched around the whistle and I'm just tired as it's close to 9:30 and I've been swinging my head back and forth following the ball and waving my arms about and standing up for 4 hours, so I just get lazy and quit calling most things. Which is fine, because usually the last game people just get goofy and don't try horridly hard and as such don't really care.
I was calling a lot of things today, though, which is good. As I was sort of afraid before of calling too many things as they're all a lot older than I am and they tend to use that to their advantage and argue with my calls and I'd have to call every single hit by some people.
I've decided, though, the biggest thing that I had been debating; I'm not going to call all the illegal hits on this one lady that plays (we'll call her Carla). Because she's very big. Like in an obese way. And she only will ever hit the ball as a lift. Which is illegal. Why she can't just close her fist and hit it is beyond me, but she doesn't. And she will never go for the ball, she just lets it drop, which sort of angers me because I know she can move for the ball as she's done it all of twice, but is just too lazy to do so. But this most likely stems from my crazy compulsion to never let a ball drop anywhere near me without diving for it at least. Anyway, she always lifts the ball. And I hadn't been calling it because that's all that she does, and she doesn't get that much ball time anyway because she lets it drop a lot of the time, and I would feel bad to make them even less wont to pass her the ball by calling every one of her hits. I conferred with my scorekeeper today and we decided just to keep letting her get away with it. As because with disabled people playing the game you'd allow some modifications like that. And I'm too lazy to have to call even more stuff.
So. Water's still not quite died yet and therefore I'm off to the shower.
I've been feeling better this past day or two mood wise, so that's good. Though possibly sort of bad, as now I'm not going to go to the doctor because I'm feeling a bit better and as such there's nothing to stop it from happening again. Though seriously. I get cramps, acne, and extreme and nearly suicidal depression when I'm PMSing? How is that fair?
