Damned Quote of the Moment:

Coach:
    "Okay ladies I want to check with you all about practices this week. Who's going to be there for Wednesday's practice?"

Enthusiastic chorus:
    "I'll be there!"

Coach:
    "Okay, now how about Thursday's practice? Don't forget that Thursday is Valentine's Day so if you have plans, I need to know if you're bailing on me."

Un-enthusiastic chorus:
    "I'll be there..."
...

Now, that either means we're a bunch of really dedicated volleyball players who are committed to practices no matter the occasion...or we're a more than available bunch of ladies.

Who needs a specific day out of the year to show the one you love that you love him? When you're in love, you show him every day of the year; every minute of every day. You never take him for granted, and every morning that you're lucky enough to wake up next to him, you fall a little more, and smile to yourself as you get butterflies in your stomach because you remember that the best part of it all is that he loves you back--just as much.

All of the Moment

Song: "If You Want Me" - Glen Hansard & Marketa Irglova
Featured in the motion picture Once

Are you really here or am I dreaming
I can't tell dreams from truth
for it's been so long since I have seen you
I can hardly remember your face anymore

When I get really lonely
and the distance causes our silence
I think of you smiling
with pride in your eyes a lover that sighs

If you want me satisfy me, if you want me satisfy me
If you want me satisfy me, if you want me satisfy me

Are you really sure that you’d believe me
when others say I lie
I wonder if you could ever despise me
when you know I really try
to be a better one to satisfy you
For you're everything to me
and I’ll do what you ask me
if you’ll let me be, free

If you want me satisfy me, if you want me satisfy me
If you want me satisfy me, if you want me satisfy me
If you want me satisfy me, if you want me satisfy me

It's on repeat--iTunes says we're up to 8 since I got home from work/practice.

    "That's what I thought but I wasn't sure. That's just bait, you know."
    "I know, but in all honesty, I picked it before anything else. I like it."
    "It's still bait."
    "I know. But I won't be censored."
    "I know."

And the Spies Hide Out in Every Corner

Paranoia: I am used to being read, but not used to being watched. There is no certainty, only an inkling, but the problem lies in the fact that I trust my instincts. A step too close for comfort, but with only a brief glance over my shoulder I will continue on as always.

I refuse to be phased--I am strong with too much conviction to be convicted.

I was told today that in regards to romance and finding a match for myself, I was too picky. I disagreed; I'm not too picky, I know what I want and refuse to settle. In the long run, if that means I have to wait, then I will wait. I can be patient, and if this means enough to me (which it does) then it will all be worth it. Some of the best things in life are best savoured slowly, allowed to unfurl on their own.

Who's in charge?

Hey how u doing?
Are u officially the president of JFedC?

I didn't realize you'd stepped down from the position and left it open?! I am officially, UBER-JFedC-ed. I think I hurt more now than ever. It's like I'm missing a part of my own body.

fukk

I didn't realize I had the president position?!?! I expected u to be more JFedC than ever after this last week!!! You may be missing a limb or two, but at least you know *tap tap*.

OH. I am SO JFedC. SO. S.O. fuck. Screw being the president--you can keep that if it was yours in the first place. I'm going to be the EMPEROR, RULER OF ALL JFedCs FOREVER!

I'm more than head over heels...more than passionate. It's bad, and it's been less than 24 hours.

Wow!!!! You are messed up!!!!

Messed up? I really think "effed-up" is the word you're looking for. I really feel like I've lost an appendage. Worse than leaving your cell phone at home, or locking your keys in the car. WORSE.

Are you still bleeding profusely....after losing an appendage? The total agony.....!!!!

Bleeding is incessant. I’ll probably suffer from massive hemorrhaging soon and die of a broken heart on top of the missing appendage. AGONY. Actually, I take that back, the agony isn’t so bad anymore once you’ve gone numb, and I think that’s where I am right now.
...

Wait, some President was replaced by an Emperor because someone had a limb lopped off? I'm so confused! hahaha.

When you make a good team, communication is never an issue--you always just make sense to each other. And what could be more important?

It could have been the phone...

"Hello?......Oh, I'm on my way home......I'm with dimps and Avril, we were at ween-tah-lee-shuss......no, Winterlicious......no, we went to eat food......okay, see you soon, bye."

Perfect Gratitude

To my sister,

You don't know how much I owe you for the most perfect weekend these past two days. Without you, I would never have been allowed to smile so much, and fall so deep. You're the best family member I've never had, but will always love because you and I will never be weird, and we will always understand.

Thank you. So much.
