i've finally done it!

Current Song: 'Sarabande' by Escala

Yes, ladies and gents, my day has come at last. I beat Ralph in a game of pool. On purpose. And I don't mean I beat him, like, he scratched on the eight ball or anything stupid and beat himself. I mean: I. Beat. Him. All by myself! Booyah Grandma!

In fact, I almost beat him the first game, but something stupid happened. I had him beat, I really did. I had a fairly easy shot on the eight ball in the side pocket, I called it, and then Ralph said, "You're doing what?" He thought it would be easier for me to sink it in the corner pocket, so after looking at it again, I decided he was right. Called it in the corner, lined up my shot... and fucking sank it in the side. *mutters* I betcha any money I couldn't do that one again if I tried.

Oh well. I got my revenge. I won the second game. 'Course then the guy that I played next really kicked my ass. He has a birth defect such that he was born with only one finger on each of his hands, but he freaking rocks at pool. I haven't seen him lose yet. Plus, he helped me out on a couple of shots that I wasn't sure what to do with, so that's cool.

And there's this older gentleman that always comes down, watches everyone play pool, and mutters about their shitty game. The only one of 'our crowd' that he'll actually play is Ralph, and he's kind of an asshole about it too. But while I was playing my second game with Ralph, I heard him say, "Wow, you must be one hell of a teacher, Ralph. She's gotten a whole lot better."

Yeah, dude. Way to compliment Ralph on my improving game. Ass.

And in other news--other much more exciting news, I might add--I might get to go hang out with John one of these days pretty soon here. He did end up moving near Punxsutawney, which sucks, but there is an upside--I can finally spell 'Punxsutawney' without having to google it. Thank god for small miracles, right?

Seriously though, I'm so excited about meeting him. If he's even half as amazing as he is online, I'll be more happy than I have words for. I've never wanted to meet an online person as much I want to meet him. Never, ever.
