DRAGONBOAT!

YES! We made it to A DIVISION!!!! (for the past two years, we were in C division, the lowest and therefore SLOWEST group). But this year we made it to the A, where the first 3 teams get medals and for the title of Junior Champions. We placed fifth but it was one of our best years yet! We were actaully 5th in TORONTO! (holy shit!) I mean, our race times were between 2:21 and 2:23 (which is far better than I expected from what I observed from practices). I discovered more bruises on my legs from the H&M "incident" which really sucked because now my legs look like they've been abused beyond belief. I got so much free stuff and faked a form for a GM visa card so I could get this awesome travelling tool kit. Also got Charmin Ultra toilet paper..very comfortable and a whole bunch of other stuff that wasn't very important. Ooo, we got instant tattoos! There were a whole bunch from the GM place and Dali stuck one on his ass. I actually proposed that I would stick one on my ass if he did too. I was shocked that he actually did, and I chickened out because I didn't really want to stick my hand into my pants to stick on an instant tattoo. I ended up getting it on my lower back, which looks a lot nicer.
We came in first for our first heat, second for the second heat, and 5th for our third heat. I didn't expect for us to ever make it into A division, let alone beat Earl Haig three times!!!! (booyakasha!!) Afterwards, Becca, Steph, Tiff and I got a ride from Matt back to Tiff's place to hang out for a bit. We ate those wheat thins or something and watched a little television. Afterwards, Matt came back to pick us up and we went to the korean bbq place called "Korean Barbecue Restaurant" (creative eh?) at Midland and Finch and ate...and ate...and ate. Becca and I also had a litte fun playing the penis game in the restaurant and sticking beef bones into the hole in the grill. Also taking stupid pictures like me clamping Steph's nose with my clampy thingys. We ordered SOOOOOO much beef!!!! OMG! Writing this right now is making me pant a little because I had so much beef. I had like one small bite of rice which was my only carb for the entire meal. There was also this waiter who had this thing over his nose (either from a nose job or a broken nose, we couldn't tell) and we kept making fun. We were SO mean but it was SO hilarious.
Overall the entire day was GREAT! Except I felt a little bad for missing kumon, but hey, I'm going to be done in a week anyways biatches!!! Also I was one of the few who jumped into the fountain..I don't know why everyone else chickened out (chickens! *makes chicken noises*). Thanks to the entire team for giving me a great finish to my short-term dragonboat career and it was an honour to have paddled with you (especially Carol my pacer partner!). And thanks to mother nature I guess for the beautiful weather and for giving me a sweet tan (with the exception of weird short short tan lines haha).
You never know, maybe there WILL be an alumni woburn dragonboat team next year, I would definitely join. I don't think I would want to be part of the Holy Makaroni's or the Holy Mackeral's (sp?) next year if there is a woburn db team I can join. Now I would like to end this entry with this:
