Turkey Tourney was SO MUCH FUN! Drove to Nooga on friday and wasted a little bit of time there visiting with Liz, and then headed out to Huntsville to spend the night at Jenn's. So I get there and we are hanging out, chillin with Jenn's parents, and Jenn realizes that she hadn't made the shirts for the team yet! So we make a trip to Walmart, because Target is closed, and it takes forever because we keep losing Edleman over and over again, like he's never been to Walmart before. It was pretty funny, and we had to have him paged over the PA system! We go back and start working on the shirts, and Edleman and Jenn work on them in Adobe Illustrator for a while, and we eventually get the design printed off and ironed onto the t-shirts around 1:30 in the morning. Go to bed and PASS OUT. Wake up, get to the fields, and meet the team. They were super cool, and fun and good! We ended up going 4-0 on Saturday, went back to Jenn's and showered, then went back to the fields for dinner and drinking. OH MY GOODNESS.... the food was the most amazing thing I have ever had. There was so much food that half way through the line and had to start moving stuff around on my plate with my fingers so that i could fit more food on my plate! IT WAS SO GOOD! Then the three teams that went undefeated on Saturday had to play a game to decide who got the first round bye... it was so fun! It was kinda like simon says by for adults! SO fun! Then there was the Turkey Shoot, which Raley won, which he shouldn't have because he wasn't drinking. Samantha and Stacey got second and third though... hell yeah! I got to be the designated drinker for a couple of people... that is the way to play it! Went back to Jenn's and passed out quickly. Woke up, got to the fields, played Julie Morris' team first, won, played the a huntsville team, won, semi's against the team with all the Shotgun kids on it, won only by 2 pts, played in finals, and lost, but i was still awesome! I had a great time. I got to hang out with Kate, Spaz, Nooga kids, Stacey, McCargo, Sam, Cobble, Abbie, Jenn... the list just goes on and on. Good weekend was had by all! Pictures to follow soon.

When We Girls Drink to Much...
1. WE HAVE ABSOLUTELY NO IDEA WHERE OUR PURSE IS.
2. WE BELIEVE THAT DANCING WITH OUR ARMS OVERHEAD AND WIGGLING OUR BUTT WHILE YELLING "WOO-HOO!" IS TRULY THE SEXIEST DANCE MOVE AROUND.
3. WE'VE SUDDENLY DECIDED THAT WE WANT TO KICK SOMEONE'S ASS AND HONESTLY BELIEVE WE COULD DO IT TOO.
4. IN OUR LAST TRIP TO PEE, WE REALIZE THAT WE NOW LOOK MORE LIKE A HOMELESS HOOKER THAN THE GODDESS WE WERE JUST FOUR HOURS AGO.
5. WE DROP OUR 3:00 A.M. SUBMARINE SANDWICH ON THE FLOOR (WHICH WE'RE EATING EVEN THOUGH WE ARE NOT THE LEAST BIT HUNGRY), PICK IT UP AND CARRY ON EATING IT
6.WE START CRYING AND TELLING EVERYONE WE SEE THAT WE LOVE THEM SOOOOO MUCH
7. WE GET EXTREMELY EXCITED AND JUMP UP AND DOWN EVERY TIME A NEW SONG PLAYS BECAUSE "OH MY GOD! I LOVE THIS SONG!"
8. WE'VE FOUND A DEEPER/SPIRITUAL SIDE TO THE GEEK SITTING NEXT TO US.
9. THE MAN WE'RE FLIRTING WITH USED TO BE OUR 5TH GRADE TEACHER.
10. THE URGE TO TAKE OFF ARTICLES OF CLOTHING, STAND ON A TABLE AND SING OR DANCE BECOMES STRANGELY OVERWHELMING TO US.
11. OUR EYES JUST DON'T SEEM TO WANT TO STAY OPEN ON THEIR OWN SO WE KEEP THEM HALF CLOSED AND THINK IT LOOKS EXOTICALLY SEXY.
12. WE'VE SUDDENLY TAKEN UP SMOKING AND BECOME REALLY GOOD AT IT.
13. WE YELL AT THE BARTENDER, WHO WE BELIEVE CHEATED US BY GIVING US JUST LEMONADE, BUT THAT'S JUST BECAUSE WE CAN NO LONGER TASTE THE GIN.
14. WE THINK WE ARE IN BED, BUT OUR PILLOW FEELS STRANGELY LIKE THE KITCHEN FLOOR (er, or, the mop?)
15. WE START EVERY CONVERSATION WITH A BOOMING, "DON'T TAKE THIS THE WRONG WAY BUT..."
16. WE FAIL TO NOTICE THAT THE TOILET LID'S DOWN WHEN WE SIT ON IT.
17. OUR HUGS BEGIN TO RESEMBLE WRESTLING TAKE-DOWN MOVES.
18. WE ARE TIRED SO WE JUST SIT ON THE FLOOR (WHEREVER WE HAPPEN TO BE STANDING) AND TAKE A QUICK NAP. (OR AT A FOOTBALL STADIUM)
19. WE BEGIN LEAVING THE BUTTONS OPEN ON OUR BUTTON FLY PANTS TO CUT DOWN ON THE TIME WE'RE IN THE BATHROOM AWAY FROM OUR DRINK.
20. WE TAKE OUR SHOES OFF BECAUSE WE BELIEVE IT'S THEIR FAULT THAT WE'RE HAVING PROBLEMS WALKING STRAIGHT

So... life decisions finally made
So, not much going on lately. Last weekend was Ruby, which was fun (I love the auburn girls!), and this weekend was Dave Baldwin (UT men's tourny) and also my family was in town for the Memphis game (which UT almost lost). Don't get me wrong, I don't really care about UT football, but come on... we can't lose to Memphis, and it should have NEVER been as close as it was! Anyway, weekend was fun, saw Memphis people, partied with my parents, good times. Saw Ray and Justin and Spaz play, which was super fun. Love them.
But to the title... I finally made a decision. I'm going to stop freaking out on my friends and family about not haveing a job, and not knowing where I am going to live and all of that jazz. I'm just going to do it. I'm not moving to KS city because I don't want to, and I would be miserable. I AM moving to Atlanta, and I'm going to find a job. I'm going to find a recruiter that can do all of my leg work for me (find openings, and set up my interviews), and then I am going to interview the week before Christmas, go home for probably 3 or four days, and then go back to ATL and interview for more jobs before New Years. I'll either spend New Years in ATL (SAM... hook me up) or in Birmingham (Stacey... you too! or you come to ATL for New Years!...we'll all chat this weekend!). And then I'll continue to interveiw until I have job that can pay the bills (and if I like that one, that is a plus... if not, work and look for another job). I WILL play ultimate somewhere, and if anyone knows when ATL women's league sign-ups are over, let me know... I want to sign up... I need to play!
So, those are the decision... So i'm feeling better, no freaking out, or at least not as much, and just enjoying life. Looking forward to Turky Tourny, Thanksgiving, graduating (we're still not talking about that though!) and the holiday... and MOVING! Stacey...start making plans for this summer, because you are moving too!

College is ending and I am freaking out!!!
Ok, so I had my obligatory "I graduate in a month, and not only do I not have a job, I also have had only one interview, and don't have any others set up!" freak out last night on my parents. The thing that scares me more than not having a job in January? Having to either move to Dyersburg (go to the middle of no where and take a left) or back to Memphis, which IS NOT allowed... I would be so unhappy in either of those places. SO if anyone that reads this (all like five people, and that's on a good day) know of any job openings, especially in ATL, please please PLEASE let me know! I'm getting desperate!

Itchfest 2005
Itchfest was this past weekend, Oct 29-30 @ Vanderbilt. SO MUCH FUN. Ok, so this isn't the most competitive tournament ever, but I love it, and always have. It's almost like hometown for me, because it is the closest tournament to Memphis (and yes, there is a tournament in Memphis, but only stupid people play ultimate in Memphis in August during Dead Elvis Week). And also, Itchfest was the first tournament I ever played in three years ago, so it is my anniversary tournament too! So, get there on Friday night with Claire, Lora, and Meredith, drop Meredith off, check into the hotel, and James and Emily pick me up for dinner. Dinner at the bound'ry, very swank and yummy (lobster ravioli... it was HEAVEN) and I was way underdressed! Go back to the hotel, finally calm down, sleep. Wake up at 5am. and 6am. Finally, alarm goes off at 7, everyone gets up, and we start heading out the door around 7:45. First team at the fields (beating even most of the hosting team, except the few that had to set up fields!), warm up, drills, all that fun stuff. Saw Gracyn (plays with Vandy), the Indiana girls, and Jennie Yang (oh my gosh I love Jennie Yang... if you read this I LOVE YOU!).
Have to play FLO first. Flo is the Nashville women's club team. Love them, love playing with them, don't always love playing against them. Good game though, only losing by two during the soft cap. I got some compliments on my playing ability, which feels good coming from this team, since I do hold their opinions in very high regard because they are good. Final score: 10-8 Flo wins.
Next up: Purdue. I have this longstanding thing about Purdue. I like playing them, but I hate losing to them. Their one short girl with big boobs that lays out for everything is gone, but their short girl who ran my ass off and schooled me was there, Lucy. Great player, great person, great spirit. She doesn't have to be an ass because her game speaks for her, and hands down, she wins against me any day of the week. But we played well, took half, and then let them come back. Hard cap goes on during the point, and Purdue takes in 10-9 (I get scored on for the winning pt. BOO! Such a confidence killer!). All the girls played really well, and we never gave up.
Third game of the day: Hendrix, a little college in Arkansas. This girls were fun, and were learning the game too, but we win, 13-5. Super fun game though, and they were great.
Last game: cross-over against Towson. Last year, they beat us on Saturday, and then we beat them on Sunday. Well, they didn't roll over us, but they got ahead and stayed ahead. They threw zone, which we should have played better against, we got broken over and over and over... and all of the UT girls hit the wall where we were tired, and ready to be done. They win 8-4.
Finish the day by going over and watching the boys lose to Vandy A with the parents. All I have to say is that there is a reason that I don't like hanging out with them when they lose. Our teams had the same record for Saturday, and we weren't upset... but whatever. Hang with the team at S.A.T.CO., go home, shower, and meet the parents and Wells for the best Japanese in the world at Taste of Tokyo. After dinner, went back to the hotel, watched UT lose to South Carolina at home, and then passed out. Woke up at 6am, because not only did we change time zones, but we also had day light savings time end, so it really felt like 8am. I was about to start making some real enemies when Lora, Katrina and Leslie suggested that we go and get breakfast. Came back, checked out, first ones to the fields AGAIN (I mean seriously, we were there before the UT guys... that is not good!).
First game: in quarters against Towson. They don't show up until 9, game time, and we get on the line, so they don't have time to warm up. Ya know, I wasn't trying to be a bitch, but they knew what times the games started, so I don't feel bad. Anyway, the throw zone on us, we score, and then we decide to throw zone... and we score! They couldn't handle our zone! Final score: 13-5 US! Hell yeah! I felt very good about my game, I made some good decisions to move to disc, had Meredith pop up to the middle handle position, and I took off, caught it, threw for a score! You know you are playing good when you hear "Watch out for the girl with red-hair!" every player wants to something of that nature from the opposing team!
Semi's: Flo. AGAIN. This time, they threw zone, and we didn't really have a chance. I don't remember the score, but everyone made mistakes, but again we didn't give up, and went down fighting. A great weekend over all. Look at some of the pic's on facebook here and hopefully I'll get the one good one of me playing from Tom soon.
