soul asylum - string of pearls

okay. so the regatta today was awesome. where to start?? umm.. i don't actually remember much before everyone crowded onto the dock to watch the mixed boys boat finish their race. i almost knocked a bunch of people into the water when i fell on my ass. chelsea and i kept sitting out there long after everyone left. we planned to take apart the dock, build a raft, and go floating out into the lake. which shows you just how weird the crew kids can get. so allie and holly came to join us and eventually we got chairs and stuff, and just sat on our butts for a very long time. there was lots of good food! hot cocoa and cider and muffins and all that. for our race, katie and i both had to use the bathroom really bad as soon as we got on the water. the race itself sucked, big time. when we got back kirstin had been taken to the emergency room because she got a rock stuck in her ear (don't ask) so i had to take her place in the novie boat. and actually, they did a lot better than they did for their last race. and their pace was ten times more even than our varsity boat.
so we're planning on getting varsity sweatshirts, and everyone has to have a nickname. chelsea's new name is chuck, i forget how we came up with it, but it works. now we just have to work on names for all the katie's. oh, and they're thinking of calling me steve-o until something better comes up. so i got a cool new sweatshirt and i stank really bad until i took a shower just now. and i want to sleep.
