Growing Pains

I got my learners license on friday, I am slowly but surely becoming a productive and involved member of society. Next comes getting a job! Yuck. Mr Obscurity and Femme Brulee have already agreed to teach me to drive. The poor misguided fools don't know what they're in for...

I played soccer on shaturgay and it was one of the most fun games of the season. The other team started with only eight players and by the end of the game two more players had arrived for their side. But by then it was too late, the damage was done. We scored four goals in the first half and I was playing really well on the right wing. In the second half I set up two more goals and then scored one myself. This is kind of a big thing for me because I've never scored in regular season before (I played defender for about twelve years). After I scored I played in goals for the last twenty minutes and as you'd expect we didn't score again after that.

Manny's dad plays volleyball and soccer every thursday with his mates and sometimes we go watch them. The soccer team is called "the Shirleys" and they have pink jerseys with the name of a famous Shirley embroidered on the front eg Shirley Bassey. We've decided to start our own team to give them a little competition. Our soccer team is going to be "the Cartoon Villains" and we'll each be named after a famous Villain from a childrens cartoon. Manny bagsied Skeletor and I called Megatron, the others have yet to decide what they want but their choices will firmly establish their geek cred so they must choose wisely. I'm so excited!
