While I haven't experienced this firsthand, I understand your thoughts Holly. But as the above posts have stated, don't let it get to you. While I don't know you well at all, you seem like a strong willed/spirited person and from my experience, an extremely good person. There will always be dicks. There's no avoiding it. It's just how we handle confrontations with those dicks that shows who we really are as people. The simple fact is though, that they don't know you, you don't know them. Which means they don't matter. If people get on you about how you say a trick name, then they haven't grasped what in my opinion is the best aspect of Freestyle. Ben(both) and Zeb are dead on with this. And while Daves may be a bit more bluntly stated, he has a good point too. Just remember that while there are shitty people, there will always be those who you love and trust who will be there for you, and they are the ones that matter. :D I think I rambled a little bit but I hope this helps.

thanks for caring, guys. i guess i let things build up and i overreacted. sorry you all witnessed that.


i have a day off today. brian is at work. im making a cherry nut cake from my grandmother's recipe... by far the best cake ever and its really easy to make.

also getting chores done: laundry, dishes, cleaning. my mom was sick most of the week so there are dirty dishes piled all throughout the kitchen. im sure shes going to be suprised when she gets home from work and sees all the chores have been done, thatll give her some free time this weekend.

i need to finish some footbags. someone stole the bag i made for the valentines raffle... so i have to remake that one. i have some orders and trades too. i got an email yesterday from someone asking me if i could make a prize bag for todexon! how exciting! im going to get working on that one asap. i might stop selling footbags and just make bags for trades/tourney prizes/gifts/worlds. but thats something i havent had the chance to really think out.

i have homework to do too... but i want to spend today on non-school related chores.

zoid butter, zoid far lo, zoid pdxmirage bsosed.

ducking inf bs, bsos

longer strings in the early sesh. like 15-20 contacts no warm up.
got tired, and didnt do so well after that. but i drilled alittle,

pickup b2b x8
mirage >lo x10

mirage>clipper
mirage>ss mirage 4 contacts
walkover sealed w/ toe
legover b2b 4 contacts
mirage>legover 4 contacts

footed my butterfly on my op side a couple times. my left foot has a retarded crank... my right foot somehow had a natural crank. stupid tard foot!



before i footbagged... i used to go to dance parties. i LOVE dancing. well brian doesnt dance so i had to figure out how i could get him to go dancing with me. he told me when i hit butterfly then that could happen...
...put on your dancin shoes, brian!


im trying REALLY hard to get good at footbag. im gonna start setting goals and see how that turns out. i want my strings to get longer, my 2 adds to get more solid, and work stuff hard on weak side... i dont want to advance myself to harder 3 adds yet cause i want my game to be smooth and consistent.


ps. lee, you missed out on a great session.

Props to both of you! Holly before you know it you will be SHREDDING. Keep it up.

Brian, insane BSOS shiz dude. Much props.

EDIT: Are you guys thinking about going to Bonnaroo this summer? It's this huge music festival 60 miles south of Nashville, June 14-17.

http://www.bonnaroo.com/

I'm thinking about going. We could totally own all those hippie hacky circles.

bonaroo would be badass to go to... but i just dont know if ill have the money for it, with us saving up for worlds. id love to go and see the flaming lips and the shins and modest mouse but its just a matter of money.

...although bonaroo has design contests and the winner gets 2 free tickets



valentines day was pretty rad despite school. brian gave me a flaming lips shirt (ive had my eye on it but had no idea he knew i wanted it), some hello kitty stuff (grippy socks, coloring book, photo album), red and white footbag (red pents, white hexes), and we went to ru sans (my favorite sushi place ever)!

i got him a couple transformers (optimus prime, and bumble bee) and a borat t-shirt. i wish i would have had time to make him a footbag too but i ended up having to make the raffle bag twice (someone stole it at school :evil: ).

its been the best valentines day ever.


its snowing, i hope it snows enough for us to get out of work and school tomorrow. this weather is nuts, it was hot enough to footbag outside last weekend in a tank top and short shorts... now its freezing. i hate tennessee.


tomorrow im gonna have a long solo shred. mainly for drills and to record a sick 3 for online comps. i hope to hit dada curve tomorrow and hit my butterfly on my op side. if i do that, then i also want to see if i can infinity.


i was watching some girl shred vids today. carol, tina, and verena are so bad ass. one day thatll be me shredding it up at worlds.

I'm glad you guys had a great Valentines Day. 8 )

Props on the Flip Butterfly Holly! It gets easier with time. Just remember to use it a lot. :wink: Good luck with your Sick 3! I'll be in there with you as well. :D
Oh and I really appreciate you guys doing the raffle. I'm almost afraid they'll be too damned pretty too shred with. ; )
Have a superb day guys.

valentines day was awesome. best one ever. period.

i had lots of fun, and the sushi was pretty fucking good too. got some sweet toys, and some cards i didnt expect to get. (from hollys parents)
so all in all, best ever.

short shred today. hit a new trick, flip pigbeater.

short strings, and nothing exciting. tried to up my sick 3, but to no avail. i still got time, and this weekend looks promising. hopefully we'll shred with lee, and i might try and record something.

i gotta work on presidents day. i shouldnt have said anything to my supervisor, but i felt bad cause ive been missing a bunch of days because snow, or schools closed, but the work needs to be done. plus, i could use some money to put away (worlds!)

anyways, i guess ill finish that bag i started tomorrow, and sleep my way thru the rest of the evening. >shred>rinse>rpt.

(oh, and i hit dim>Pdx. mir> rpt a few times today. booyakasha.

night.

I miss you guys!

Holly, major props on clippers.
Try: Clipper > Mirage > Repeat

Brian, sounds like your flip pixies are stong.
That's something I need to work on.
Try: Pigbeater BSOS (That would be sweet to see)

As for shred this weekend, I can only shred on Saturday.
I've told Holly, but I don't know if I said anything to you, Brian.


As for me, I'm slowly progressing. Flip PS Whirls are getting good.
I also just hit Toe Blur back to back.
It felt sweet.
EDIT: And I just hit PS Whirl back to back,
and Tapping DLO both sides.*

Definately call me up sometime Saturday guys!
I'm not sure of an indoor place to shred.
I don't mind freezing my balls off for you two.

thanks lee, sorry its so cold today. stupid snow! summer needs to already get here!

so i got this random myspace message from jim penske asking me about my bags... i decided to send him one to see if he likes it. the bag i made him is super visible and super awesome. i hope he likes it.
Image

my knees and shins have been feeling awful. i should be doing more stretches before and after sessions.

i watched that vaska video.. and oh my lord. he did everything so effortlessly, it makes me think the video was just a normal shred and that hes got more tricks up those shorts and we will see how much different he is at worlds.

i downloaded some girl shred videos. i wish i had more. if anyone has any female shred videos that they would like to share with me, then id like that a lot.


im gonna start making worlds' footbags soon.

I've got a random girl shred video from a while back Holly. I don't know where I got it from but if you want it I could send it to you. They're all virtually tiltless. All I know about it is from the title which is: patris-svenja-tracy-summer04. I'll email it to you. 8 )
Take it easy on your ankles and shins though buddy. And siiick bag!

**EDIT: Forgot to ask, is your email the same as your paypal?

ugh. i just made the worst bag ive made in over 100 bags. i guess it was partly due to me not being able to see, due to me not taking out my contacts enough, so shit just blurs after a while. plus, i went straight thru that bag. no breaks. ill try and fix it tomorrow, but i dont know. maybe ill just lose it. im really hard on myself about stitching now. i want my bags to be visually perfect, along with the normal above avarage playablility.

i havent seshed in a few days, and i want to. there was a short one on thursday, but it was shitty. i didnt hit any strings over 5 contacts.

i want to shred tomorrow. its been snowing, and its probably cold and wet, but i dont care. i need to play to get out some frustration, from work, school, and footbagsuckyness.

but today wasnt all bad. i slept in till noon. that never happens. i ate pretty good, (pizza and fried chicken strips+fries) and i only drank one soda. i played videogames, which i havent done in a while.

but i didnt get to footbag, because its too cold, and it was snowing pretty hard all day. im waiting on some stuff in the mail, and i guess im getting tired of waiting for it. i guess im just being impatient.

im going to hot tub, and then shower.

maybe ill get a tattoo next week. ive got 500$ with nothing to do with it. (except save it)

buhbye.

went to dicks sporting goods and brian bought me new shred shorts and himself some new shorts too.


me and brian had a session in the freezing cold at the skate park

it started out freestyle... lots of fun.
illusion
butterflies are getting better
atw>mirage>legover>legover really made me squeel
brian went to the port-a-john and these girls in a white mustang wooted at me. lol.

we ended up having a 2 square game. this is the first time ive ever played any squares in footbag. it was a blast! i broke a lot of rules because i wasnt really paying attention... but i did some toilet stalls and shot the bag into his square... he was too scared to stop it cause he didnt want to kick me in the cunt. bwahahaha. i also did some ass bumps. i want to pm zeke sometime and ask him about 4 square more. i dont really get the rules or the lingo yet.

after the session we went to olive garden and decided we dont really like fat people or old ladies. fat people are just... fat. and old ladies are fake.

got some more seed bead and mailer baggies.

soaked in a berts bees theraputic salt bath.


gonna stitch some more and spend some time with brian. it weird, but weve been dating for 8 or 9 months and i cant get enough of him.

im gonna work on the nfb site over spring break

good sesh today, i guess. atleast it was lots of fun. but too cold and windy.

my game sucked. i didnt string very long, only one or 2 good strings.

no big tricks. only one ducking move. the rest was tilt-guilt. a few 4s, but only basic one. dim, rip, bliz, paradon

one drill. parkwalk>bubba>rt

played with quantum. nothing happened, except a shoe burn on my knee.
its weird. i can symp quantum, but only hit legover from it. i guess thats my eggs getting in the way of new sets. bastard eggbeaters.

and i ordered a yoyo.

i fixed that bag, and it looks okay. not good, but okay. ill be keeping it, because i doubt its stable enough to let anyone else play it. i can be gentle, unlike all you other boys.

i got to play one of my minis for a few mins today (hollys vday present) and they fucking rock. they dont roll, and theyre really sticky. i would ship some out as testers, but i might not keep making them. i gotta test mine, and a few people got some for free already. we'll see if i have time to make more.

time to say goodbye.


goodbye.
