We had our first tournament this weekend and I'm happy to report it was a rousing success. That's if you can call lime green spandex and 2nd place rousing.
I saw many a thing I thought mine eyes would never behold, for example high top volleyball shoes and many a player sporting only one knee pad (the partner is too much?). The highlight of my weekend came in the form of a grown man sportin' belted denim overalls, chanelling the always timeless farmer look. In my opinion the belt was a trifle unecessary since I figured the pants weren't going anywhere... what with the straps and all... but he did have 'em crisscrossed in the back (holla back if you sported this or the one shoulder look circa 1996) so I guess he was livin on the edge. Who am I to judge. After all, I'm the one in black kicks.
Anyway, as you can see below, I'ma be sportin' #6 this season which is somewhat traumatic since I've broken my record of being #10 since about grade 7... but I guess that's what happens when the foreign kid doesn't get the memo about requesting her number. I'm finding a way to cope. In the meantime, I have bigger things to cope with such as the flattering color of my team's spandex and the fact that GÉANT is written in huge letters across the butt. This is important when you do the math...er translation, and realize that Géant means 'Giant' in French. Oh the irony.
I only wish I was kidding.

Note the unfortunate state of the Maple Leaf.
I see how it is here.

Almost wishing I had red shoes too...
Desma usually makes this face at me before I serve... It's our good luck charm of sorts.
I could barely hear myself think over the roar of the crowd.
Free lesson for the kids -
A block like this will make you no friends... Least of all with your back row.

Do you have any idea how much I miss this...Miss you, and your volleyball games? I nearly cried...No joke.
Had I been there, you would have had the noise of at least one "crowd" to contend with. My life has not been complete without your volleyball games!
Lime green never looked so good! I'd just like to give a shout out to your soon to be very trendy spotting of the belted overalls. I die. I second that holla to the crisscross. I only wished I was cool enough to buckle one strap while feeling the sweet air of a strap free shoulder on the other. Alas, I wasn't that hip. I'm pretty sure it was the direct cause of my social awkwardness/ virgin lips until the age of 20. Curse you overalls!
