The fellowship has broken

Gimli: Then it has all been in vain! The Fellowship has failed.
Aragorn: Not if we hold true to each other... Not while we have strength left.

Friends? friends? are you there?

Yesterday, Sunday 1/27/13 I went to the New England ref society AGM. That was cool, except that I only slept for 4 hours and it was a looong meeting. Free (average) lunch provided courtesy of Resident Inn though. Then I drove 10min to Westborough to play bball with Chinese school dad's + my (brother's) friend, Mike! (who's brother I went to prom with.)

2 hrs pickup basketball
1 hr dodgeball
so. tired.

After Chinese school ends, some kids do extracurricular stuff so there were 5 little pee-wee kids who came to the gym afterwards and we played adult v kids dodgeball. I accidently pegged some little children- 1 in the face. tg it was those soft air foam balls! i felt really bad... but they weren't holding back either! oops. also it was terribly hard to watch my foul language after all these years of rugby songs ha. but i behaved myself (minus the headshot)... it's so hard they were all 3 feet tall!

then i promptly passed out at 8pm and slept for 12 hours, only to wake up still tired. hahah. had a dream that I was playing rugby in the rolling green hills of NZ though!
