Basketball Memories... eeek!

So first of all, I decided I do indeed want to blog more. Every time I blog I feel like I have to catch the blog up to what's happened in my life but now I decided I'm just going to blog whenever I feel like it about anything i feel like. I think that's the point of these things anyway. Well actually.... for me the point of blogging is simply to follow other people's blogs and use their crafty tutes. :) (tutorials)

Anyways.... do you ever have random thoughts or memories of how someone treated you poorly and relive those feelings? I was driving home today and I, for some reason, thought back to my freshman and sophomore year of high school playing basketball. I had a terrible coach. (I feel safe saying that because I'm sure she'll never read this.) She treated me and my teammates like we were the worst sinners in the world. She would say things like that too. I remember one away game we were warming up and I don't even know what we were doing- probably just laughing while shooting... anyways she SCREAMS at us to come over and YELLS at us for ALL to hear... saying things like we must not be Christians because of what we're doing.... honestly... we were so confused. And angry. Who wants to play for a coach after a stunt like that?!
Anyways that's not actually what I was thinking of while driving. No, this was MUCH less awful. Much more petty. and much more personal.
We had JV games and Varsity games. I was a starter for the varsity team. Now don't go thinking that I was a good bball player just because I'm tall. I was not very good at all - definitely not the 5th best player on the team. You probably wouldn't believe me if I stopped there because come on... I was a Varsity Starter! In normal schools I'd probably get a letter right??? WELL...... She started me on Varsity so therefore I was ineligible to play in the JV game... which was more my level. I started Varsity and played a whopping TWO minutes... if I was lucky. Then she would sub me out with someone much more skilled and I sat the bench the rest of the game. The reason why??? So that my teammate - who was very good- would be allowed to play in the JV game  and Varsity. Isn't that rotten? I still got mad about that when I thought of it, and that happened like 8 years ago!! I really need to get over it. ha!

Now back to making Christmas presents!
