and I think my head is caving in

[tielan]

So, the hockey game on Sunday.

1. bounced the back of my head against the ground
2. got whacked in the foot with the ball during the game
3. had the ball bounce off my forehead while going in for a low tackle
4. skidded off the field to land on my back in the water ditch and strained a shoulder muscle

On the upside, we drew 2-2 after a fairly gruelling game. We needed to work on short passes, not long hits (which they kept picking up), and passing into the gap and running onto the ball.

...I have the feeling that this year's hockey may end up being my physical downfall...

O_O IDK. If you endured that much, you might be officially invincible.

(I'd say take care of yourself in between games, but I'd hope that goes without saying and you obviously know to do that.)

Sounds like you're playing rugby, not hocky.

It might just be the way I play hockey - I tend to go a little all-out.

And the field was pretty slippery on the weekend...

[hickumu]

Well, I can certainly respect that! Might as well make the other team work for it, after all. And I assume you're talking about roller hockey? 'Cause yeah, a slippery field would make roller skating kind of impossible.

Damn, tielan. This is me mentally upgrading you to "badass".

It's actually field hockey. Amateur. Balls, sticks, feet, and legs. No ice, no roller skates. We don't really have any other kind around here.

And it's slippery because my shoes don't have the studs on them (they're just regular sports shoes). I need to get a new pair this year.

Wait, I wasn't 'badass' before? *pouts*

You qualified for badass, but there was a snarl sorting out the paperwork to make it official. You know how paperwork gets, this time of year ;) .

Well boo for red tape, but yay for officially badass! \o/
