A bundle of awesome

So, this is going to be a random conglomerate of awesome things that I've heard or done this week.


I'm playing Spring Soccer for the first time!!! So in short, I am playing on a team of predominantly Silver and Gold lever players.... but I've played Bronze all my life :-S  I went to my first practice a few weeks ago dreading the worst, and fearing that I would no longer have to ability to hold myself up with my legs the next day.  I thanked God when I was wrong!!  It certainly was exhausting, and I think that I've been in a permanent state of pain since the season started (I can't tell anymore... I've gotten too used to it :-P ), but I'm enjoying the challenge of physically keeping up, and logically playing the game without panicking.  We've had two weeks off due to rain and stuff, and today was pure bliss for me.  Every time I haven't played in a while and then come back to it, I remember how much I LOVE this sport!!  I wouldn't know what to do if I couldn't play... It feels so natural, like I was made to be on the field.  When I was almost 8 I started to ask if I could play.... I don't remember why I wanted to play so badly, but my parents said no a handful of times to me.  Each time I would almost cry (but I never did.... even to this day I pretty much refuse to cry when people can see!).  When they FINALLY said yes, I flew to my room - flying is appropriate because I was about ten feet off the ground and SO STOKED - and screamed into my pillow, trying to let out how FREAKIN' EXCITED I was.  And the funny thing is, I got just as excited when my parents said I could play Spring Soccer this year, ha :-P

A few weeks ago my family went to the Bloedel Conservatory... It was so beautiful, I took close to 300 pictures :-P  It was a late birthday thing for me, because my dad and I didn't have time to go there around my actual birthday.  Beforehand we'd all gone to Science World, and afterwards we walked through Queen Elizabeth Park.  It was pretty much my dream day, I wish every weekend could be like that - just driving around downtown, going to cool places and photographing them.




I heard the best classical music joke ever... If you don't appreciate classical music like I do, you might just groan and die a little inside :-P  And if you just don't get it (*cue patronizing tongue clicking*) YouTube Beethoven's 5th symphony :-)

What was Beethoven's favourite fruit?
BA NA NA NA!!!!!!!

Apparently that joke is as old as the hills, but I chuckled for quite some time over that one :-P

Who watched the Royal Wedding?!  I didn't stay up from 2:30 - 5 am to watch it.... I'm not that crazy and I didn't care enough :-P  But I did watch the recording and highlights online.... It was SO GOOD!  I loved it, and it's made me realize that I LOVE WEDDINGS.  Which to some may seem rather uncharacteristic of me, but its the truth :-)  And because of it, I'm so excited for my sister's wedding next year!!  It will be beautiful, if I know my sister.

We bought a kit to make a Coke geyser.... STOKED.  I cannot wait for the perfect day  to blow up a coke bottle with Mentos :-D boo ya....



Enjoy the rest of your weekend :-D
PS.  I got a Photobucket account.... It's for my media arts course at school, but you can mozie on over there if ya feel like it anyway :-)   http://s1209.photobucket.com/albums/cc393/caitlinwiebe/
