I just spent the last hour dancing around the house, Dorritos in one hand, Salsa dip in the other, both in my mouth and an Eskimo hat on my head singing "Seven days till Bones." over and over again.

Moral of the Blag: Don't ever step in front of a speeding Italian.
Explanation;
I had a Lockdown study day camp this past week.
What that means is, they take a group of poor unsuspecting kiddlets who are sitting their Senior Finals in a few weeks and chide them into study for five hours every day. We got great food, the leaders were awesome Christian people and we got to go home at the end of the day ß always good. Plus it was hosted at my school so it felt really comfortable.
SO, we were playing this epic game of soccer in the hall during lunch study break, me and my school friends against three boys from another school, rep soccer players, big, ripped Italian boys..and then there was me, straddling the line between adolescence and adulthood, barely 5'3'' and weighing just shy of 50 kilos. *gulp*
Long story short, my friend lobbed a nice shot just left of the goals, I was playing left wing/striker and wasn't about to pass up that opportunity right? Playing with all these boys, a girl's got to prove herself. I went in for the header, which came off nice and clean btw - the next thing I know I'm being knocked to the floor, hard, and something fell heavily on top of me. The boy was nice about it, you know, I think he probably felt guilty for ploughing me over.
I scored the goal, so that was pretty sweet, but came away with bruised ribs and face, a corked calf muscle, seriously out of wind and I couldn't move my arm! My left arm! Two weeks before HSC exams and I couldn't move my writing arm. The only thought going through my mind - as I was writhing around on the floor of the hall was "My English teacher is gonna kill me." ..okay so maybe the thoughts weren't as coherent as that, but that you get the drift.
Turns out it wasn't broken *phew* but my elbow and knee swelled up pretty nicely, and I'm starting to be able to raise my arm above my head without too much pain =)
That was the Tuesday just passed, on Friday our team won the 'Grand final' of our little study break games. We owned those rep players =)
