khszdfgfg its soooooo annoyingggg. >.<
so on saturday, we didn't get to do the stretches for the splits before actually performing (we did them when we practiced at our school though...but that was 6 1/2 hours earlier). even though we didn't stretch, I did my first complete split (and bounced off the floor D=). that resulted in a pulled muscle. ouchies. all better now though, thank goodness =]

Ouch! I hate it when the directors don't let us stretch often. Seriously, they should know better than that.

idk why, but i love the guard scootles =]
soo am i being a baby when i think passing off 100 perfect singles, 100 perfect doubles and so on through quads before our next show is ridiculous? it has to be 100 solid tosses, in a row. so if we get 99, and drop #100, oh well, start over. i'm not too happy.

yeah, it sucks. but it's your directors setting unattainable goals to get you to work harder. its what happens to the weaponline. we get our butts kicked, but we're amazing at the end.

k, wanted to make sure our instructor hasnt completely gone off the deep end =] nah, they're just pushing you. part of weaponline is getting your @$$ kicked everyday and tossing hundreds of tosses a day. Tis the only way to really get better and consistent.

Hehe, I was "promoted" to "Mini Flag Captain" yesterday.
It's kinda cute, I run the flagline while our real captains and instructor are busy. =D
Eeek, that sounds a little over the edge, but maybe her definition of "perfect " won't be what you expected?

Singles, doubles, trips, quads and then maybe 20 5s. I mean, I'm not saying I don't feel it's ridiculous. But...it does help a lot with consistency. Wewt, we got 5th at a WGI regional yesterday. Prelims put us 2nd in our block (out of three blocks of, 12?) and 5th overall. Finals gave us 5th out of 14.

We got a lot of awesome feedback from people in the audience and we had a lot of applause. More than I've ever heard at a first show.
Would you want to meet up at a show or something, EP? We'll be at all 3 shows this weekend.

We actually won't be at any of the shows this weekend because our version of sadie hawkins is saturday night and most of the guard is going. We'll be at Sibley and Irondale though. It's hard to miss me as I'm the loud, obnoxious redhead. Good luck this weekend! by the way, your senior from last year was really good in the AFTERGLOW show.
