now I’m TEE … TEE BALLING!
Yesterday effing RULED. Here is why.
At about ten a.m., I got picked up by 007, Captain Dashing, and LL Cool Ray. We drove to a baseball field by the Japanese Gardens, where we met up with The Phenomenon, Johah, Jaegermeister and her hubby, Annette, RLove, Joe, Kendra, SDAhrens, Thailore, Pam, the Schempps, and the infamous Cisco (or however you spell it) for a day of TOTAL INSANITY. We were filming GAME DAY for T-Ballin’, a short film about a pro-abstinence church-sponsored adult t-ball league. (It’s even more bizarre than it sounds.)
Without spoiling the sheer, unadulterated FUNNY that was yesterday for those of you who will someday see the resulting footage, let me just say this. I have never gotten so scraped, so sunburned, so hot, so filled with donuts, or had such a good time. Today, my knees are bruised and scraped to SHIT, the skin on the back of my neck is BURNING, and every muscle in my body hurts - but I don’t care. I had such an amazing time swinging and tackling and running and puppy-piling and chasing and slugging and chilling with my friends. You all are the BOMB, and I love you. Yay, Seattle! What an incredible way to spend the day.
(In related news, I will never hear the phrase “fill me with the holy spirit” the same way again. Seriously.)
Afterwards, a group of people who are very dear to me spent the remainder of the day getting drunk and being honest. Now, let me say this - I hate secrets. I understand that often, they exist for kind or selfless reasons. Sometimes they are for the best. However, it still makes me feel … trapped. A little claustrophobic. As of last night, thanks to our imbibing-related patch of bluntness, my life is so much happier. I feel like a huge weight has been taken off my shoulders - a weight that made me feel slightly itchy where my relationship with a friend was concerned. I had a lot of wonderful - really MEANINGFUL - conversations with people that I love to death, and I woke up this morning feeling like a million bucks. Thank you - all of you - for being not only great friends but also good sports. You’re amazing, and you are exactly who I need to have in my life right now.
