Special Ed: and other things

well, my readers, this post concerns a special ed like theme. i should start at the beginning though. just yesterday, my group of buddies and i were approached by dan schipper and chris blok who needed a player on their co-ed football team. after some deep thought, and violent arguments, jess convinced me to stay with her (only joshing jess). any way, i got some money for pizza and so did jess. then we were on. woopwoop.
after school proved that quite a few plymouth-ites had decided to stay as well. the teams organized themselves,and the games began. our first game, well, was pitiful. we were no match for neil blok and his cronies. however, we took the beating in good stride and said "i thought we would lose that one anyway!" i also made the catch of my lifetime during that game, it was purely luck though. the next game was more of a match i think. after a series of huddles and such, we defeated mr. tenelshof's team as well. jess and i were officially named the good luck charms of the team. that suited me just fine, by the way. the next match our team sat out, which was a relief to me, i needed my rest. jess and i rolled down a hill once or twice and looked up at the sky and commented on life. we also commented on our team being fun, but odd, as we saw the guys discussing stratagems,and throwing themselves to the ground in their exuberance. we were then called upon to play another game.
this one was against mark and his side kicks, aka, bryan jeff courtney nick and kerri rozeboom. i hated that team with a great hatred. courtney almost never got the ball, and that made me very angry. also, during that game, i proved myself a better kicker of the football than darren and chris. but jess was awesome too :D! we also won that game, on account of our marvellous strategies that i didnt even understand.
now is where the special ed comes in. we were then placed against a team of 7th grade girls... and kara vanderboon. who, if you didnt know, are very very small. that wasnt in the least fair, because on our team was dominic ash, the single most tall guy in the entire school. also, dan schipper can throw a ball well, and chris can (kind of) catch, and me and jess are lucky. so, we decided to play special ed style. in other words, we really messed around. alot too, coz we only ended up winning two to nothing. so, that was fun.
the next game we played was by far the funniest in a bad kind of way. we were up against a good team with joel and arnie blok, jess's sister and some other people. well, dan threw the ball for a far one, yelling "FORE!". chris was way out at the bottom of the field, being guarded by joel. when chris caught the ball, he ran and joel grabbed his flags off. unfortunately, joel decided to pull something else off chris as well: his shorts. yes, chris blok was pantsed. i only saw him pull his shorts up, but that was enough for me. i looked at jess and we both burst into merry gales of laughter (which probably made it worse for the poor guy). any way, that was funny, but sick if you know what i mean? ah, yes, football was fun.
then, we all trooped inside for pizza. boy, did my legs and feet hurt! i sank onto the floor holding my pizza and my drink, and was thankful we didnt have to do any more playing. that was the most fun i had all week really.

now, other news: on thursday it was my sisters birthday, she turned twelve. the sikmas also came over to observe it and check out my brothers new computer. thats the second piece of news. thirdly, jess got a blog!!! its pretty sweet, she shouldnt use IM speak though... LOL! kidding jess! her blogs name is jess 56.blogspot.com.
also, i liked the conversation starters you guys put up on my last post, we should do that again sometime.

i had a great time at football as you can probably tell, and will post on something again pretty soon!

Wegner's liquor and bowling.

i am all alone in our house, do i decided to take advantage of it and do a post. this will be all about the happenings in my life of late. or, well the most significant.
let us start in the dim past of three days ago. Wednesday to be precise. we had history class... and it was fun (as usaual). only this time, we did a little play... via mrs. dykstra productions. it was about how cortes destroyed the aztec empire, and it was very funny. the actors, in their enthusiasm, had the whole class (including the director, mrs. dykstra) in fits of laughter. and if i remember correctly, trent was a body guard of cortes (matt bazen) no wonder he wasnt attacked.
then, last night, we (erika, lindsay, gordon, me, john, pete, heather bazen and kristin walma) went bowling at wegners on leonard. upstairs, mind you, we didnt know what the drunkies would have done to us if we had stayed downstairs. it was quite a lot of fun, even though i am hopeless at bowling. heather and kristin had to leave early, or left early, im not sure which. then we just sat there and discussed, well, nothing. ONLY KIDDING ERIKA!!! we talked about a lot of stuff... including where we should go now that our bowling game was over. i was sick of the smell of the alley, and there were some strange looking people where we were, so we decided to leave. we all trooped downstairs, paid and then went outside. there we stood in the dark, right next to wegner's liqour and bowling, saying we SHOULD leave soon, lest we be overtaken by mobs of drunk men, and women etc; we finally settled on the fact that we should go to red hot inn, all the way on the other side of town. so we did. when we got there, we ordered shakes from bob, who only does food. we walked on to find an amazing look alike of bob called jerry who did the counter. it was so uncanny a resemblance, i wonder if it was the same fellow... heehee. we all sat down, and laughed very hard for a while, and probably gave some of the old people in there heart attacks, i surely hope not. we then decided that we should leave, before they brought out some big fat guy to escort us out. in the parking lot, many good byes were said and we parted ways. alas, i thought, thus the night endeth.
so i did have fun... and well, youth must have its fling. so what can i say? im not sure either... thats me for you!
tootles!

The Fireworks and stuff

i am sick of my last post so i decided to put another one up. and yes, it is about friday and the happenings thereon. i had alot of fun that day. first, i had school (woopwoop) and then we went over to jess's house and did all kinds of stuff. (woopwoop). we also caught frogs... i think courtney was looking for her prince there, since she isnt going to find him anywhere else... moohaha. then courtney, sonja and i had to go to youth group, where we played way too much football.
then the fun came~~ the fireworks. i love lots of people. when we got to our assigned bridge, i found half of plymouth there... to my surprise. i also found john and pete... surrounded by gordons buddies (lifestyles of the rich and famous...or so to speak). i then went over to my friends and met some kalamazoo guys who are like six feet tall, and my age... i feel really short for some odd reason. the fireworks were cool, and the company excellent.
well, that's all for now. sorry if i bored you!
tata

ah, it is, i suppose, the cusotmary thing to write a post about the "first week of school". any way, to keep up the good old traditions, i will post one now.
i was aroused from my slumbers at about half past six, went to shower and fumbled my way down the stairs to eat my school-year breakfast: a piece of toast and a mug of coffee. after brekkers, my mom decided to have a lengthy prayer, during which the bus arrived. so, we were late for the bus on the very first day of school, great. when i got on the bus i sighed a great sigh. i was going to see the most retarded people i know once again. namely, my classmates.
when i walked into the school building, i was greeted by the sight of an ape like looking fellow who i realized was trent... sigh, he hasnt changed much, unfortunately. our class still has our retarded little "groups". i went over to the cool group, namely my group of friends and commented on what i thought the school year was going to be like-terrible.
during our assembly, erika came up and gave such a wonderful speech, i was moved to tears and almost gave her a standing ovation. it was the hightlight of my day.
the rest of the week was spent taking classes and dying in pe. we ran the mile, and that day i decided i am dropping pe, as soon as i can. gordon still parades around the building as if he owns the place, and gets many laughing at him... me included.
so, school isnt all that exciting, im probably going to hate my class and our groups... but the groups are a whole different post. one day i will post on that.
tata, i have to go, lest the wrath of gordon break upon me and consume me in my way.
