Broomball

I've realized that since I started writing this blog, I'm actually writing more in my journal.

Anyway, today I was in a broomball tournament, which was amazing. It is a hilarious game because the harder and more intense you play, the more you fall all over the place. They actually have special broomball shoes that you can buy. I can't believe such a non-major sport actually has specific shoes. Two of my teammates had them and they looked like moon shoes. I loved the team names, too. Ours was kind of boring, "Lexicon Ice," but some of the other teams we played against had names like "The Concussioners," "Team Shadiness," "THWACK," etc. Everyone got really into it. It was for Des Moines area businesses, so I expected to play professionals. Well, the first team we played was so drunk the goalie just layed on the ice and kept throwing the ball in the wrong direction. It actually became one of her teammate's job to yell at her before she threw the ball so she wouldn't mess up. And the games started at 12:30pm! At least it was the whole team I guess, and not just one player. I'd be a little embarrassed to show up on Monday.
