incubus - pardon me

i don't care much about updating this thing anymore, but it's been a daily habit for more than a year now. it's hard to stop. but i'll tell you what i did anyway, even though i'm supposed to be grocery shopping with my mom right now...
friday rained like a bitch all morning. at crew we were all soaking wet. we had to derig, wash the boats and load them onto the trailer in the pouring rain, and go out in our race lineup and do a quick timed 1000 meter sprint. poor conner, he coxed all the boats, so he was out in the rain for 3 hours in shorts and a t-shirt. so, when our novice boat was up, we went out, did our thing, and got a 4.19. the intermediate girls had a 4.29, so we beat them! that was cool. so basically we did a really good job on friday.
saturday started out nice and early, not raining too bad either. i got to green lake right after christie's race, so i didn't see it but basically, she started out way ahead of the boats, then flipped over. she was ready to kill someone all morning. we all felt really bad about it. during our race, we started out way ahead of the rest of the boats. we kept about 2 boat lengths between us and the second place boat through almost the entire thing. alicia kept catching crabs, which then screwed up me and danielle. our ratio was off and we really weren't pulling that hard. but we did work at it. we got first place, but because we didn't really feel the competition, the second place boat was right on our ass when we got to the end. plus, our time was 4.31. so we did way worse than friday. which also means that we really didn't do that great, the other teams just did really bad.
the rest of the day was nice and fun, just screwing around and helping out the other people with their races. around 4:30 i took off for seattle to meet up with steph, brandon and bobby for the incubus concert.
so, it was bobby's idea to run through the fountain in the seattle center. we'd been sitting watching it for 15 minutes or so, and i was up for it, so we ran down and ran all through the thing, getting soaking wet and loving it! but of course we didn't have any dry clothes, and the key arena is air-conditioned. so we sat through the whole concert soaking wet and freezing, plus i have a really bad head cold right now so i was pretty much miserable. but incubus was amazing. i was kind of half asleep through the whole thing, but that's okay. it was incredible anyway.
the drive home was pretty intense. i drove bobby home so brandon wouldn't have to sit in the back of tuey's rx-7 again, plus i had dry clothes in my car and bobby got to sit with the blanket and keep me awake. we cut off a bunch of people, drove on the wrong side of the road, almost got in an accident... it was great! we beat tuey and brandon home, too. so i came home and passed out around 12:30, which really isn't all that late, but it felt like 4 am to me.
and now it's sunday, and i'm sick still, and it hurts to move my head around because my neck is stiff and sore. i watched a movie with michael goorjian in it (you know, the guy who plays heroin bob in slc punk? i love that man.) and took a shower, and now i'm going to post this whole thing and go grocery shopping with my mom.
