we're cool sometimes...mom's in a league (not quite pro but still on a prize money win scenario...) they needed an ezxxtra playa so mom suggested me....we have games every wed..
Oh, I know exactly how you feel. I was an early one, too- and it happened when I was on an orchestra trip the next state over, even! Is your coach nice about it, at least?
Yeah, one of the hottest guys at my high school, a school without sports of its own, was on his homeschool's swim team. Oh my goodness, I still get butterflies thinking of that guy's body, and that was four years ago. He was like a Greco-Roman god or something. Adonis in the flesh. ::swoon::
Haha, well, I don't think Michael looks like a teddy bear, so much as I just have the same inherent desire to squeeze him like one. I agree, he does look rather... uh... well, let's just say that if I ever had the chance, I'd put a paper bag over his head and then get my freak on- because boy oh boy does he have a hot body!
Man, I don't know what I'd do with a sport. I remember being in orchestra and seeing kids have to take time off because they got carpal tunnel in their hands/wrists (although some played through it). That never happened to me, thank goodness. Did the doctors say taking the time off would make it go away completely?
Michael Phelps? Dude, I watched as he totally pwned and got uber golds, including the record(s) he broke. He's totally awesome. How does one deal with tendonitis in their shoulders? That sounds positively ghastly.
I saw that you're twelve, but I thought maybe you had skipped some grades or something because, yeah, you seem quite mature. Alas, I think you're about the youngest Nerdfighter I know of. But that's alright, ageism isn't something I am a proponent of if the person can demonstrate that they can handle themselves properly. I mean, ok, I have gotten into some disputes where I had to bring up the person's young age on very important topics to me, but I was basing it more on life experience as opposed to age- someone ten, fifteen years older than the kid that hadn't experienced it would have been just as blind to what I was saying as him.
Speaking of Michael Phelps, have you seen him in the Guitar Hero commercial? Totally funny and adorable. He's like a teddy bear- a rather FIRM one, but I just want to squeeze him until he bursts. ;)
Oh, swimming, that's awesome! I don't play any sports, actually, but if I did, I'd want to do swimming- it looks like a good combination of cheering and actually competing, and it gives the whole body a workout. And it just looks exciting! Are you in eighth grade right now?
Oh, hey, there's no need to feel like you're bragging- it's fact. Heck, I was kind of like that when I played. I actually never had private lessons because we couldn't afford them, but I was good enough to always be in the first stand- even in high school and up against people that had been playing four or more years longer and that practiced ten or more hours more than me each week. That was another reason they didn't like me in high school- I didn't have to work nearly as hard, and I was more casual about it. Are there any city-wide orchestras or groups you could join to be around people more at your skill level?
Yeah, Shawn is awesome. I hope he makes it to Davos.
I quit for a lot of reasons. There was a lot of crap at my high school- a performing arts high school, nonetheless. I wasn't there to become a professional cellist, and that pissed a lot of people off. I became disillusioned by my senior year and had to put it aside for a while. But I went away to college, and the cost of getting my cello back and forth along with that of paying for private lessons (a requirement to be in the orchestra) made it too difficult to afford, so I haven't touched it since high school. I miss it, though.

Are you in a school orchestra?
You play the cello? Cool, my sister plays too (but I play the violin, MUCH better :P )
What grade?

I have a guy who is interested, but not the one I want.
