anyhow, i went to a "dragon boat" meeting tonight (dragon boating is kinda like having 12 people paddle a canoe). there's the dragon boat festival happening this summer where we're going to compete in a race against other boats. our team is getting organized so we can hit the water in three weeks to start practicing. i'm really excited about this. sabby and cin and jo were really into it last year so they got me interested in it... of course, i'm not wanted for paddling skills... they needed a caller.
the role of a caller is pretty basic. i keep the boat moving by yelling at the paddlers to keep paddling. the requirements for a caller are: lightweight (cuz i sit at the bow.. that's the front of the boat, right?), loud voice, and rythm. i even get a drum to beat!! that in itself is so cool! i hope i can do it though... watch, i'll run my paddlers like racehorses and in the last leg of the race, they'll all just keel over and die. hmmmm. i'd better think of some tactics...
i am so happy about this weekend. it's very productive already (woah... i think i had a horoscope that said that this weekend would be really productive... creepy!!)! tomorrow, i'm hitting a dance workshop. it sounds intense and i'm so hyped for it. it's going to be hiphop (i'll be hitting the other dance styles in the future) and i am so up for a good workout. i hope it isn't disappointing. at least if it sucks, i'm stil going clubbing later that night. then i can really "git ma groove on!"
plus, i got my hockey on sunday night... oooh i haven't touched ice in a month. even if i'm rusty, it's all good. the team we play against is the same team i've already scored on... so maybe i'll do a repeat! woohoo!
