Fun Tuesday

While at work, I was listening to our (male) receptionist and the FedEx guy talk. Now, neither of these guys really seem like they play a whole lot of sports, but they sure talked a lot about it. They were going through all the players of some football team (probably the Vikings, this is Minnesota after all, but who really knows), and they were basically giving each other a rundown of all the strengths and weaknesses of the players individually and how these things reflected on the team. And it dawned on me, as I remembered my first and very fun Gopher basketball experience, that it isn't necessary for men to have played a particular sport, they just have to know enough about it to be able to talk to each other in an in-depth, 5 minute minimum conversation in order to be able to relate to one another. I don't know, for some reason that's interesting to me.

But yeah, I went to my first Golden-Gopher basketball game, and I had a ton of fun. I wasn't going to go, and on my way there I actually thought about backing out, because honestly, I hate watching basketball on TV. But it's a different experience live. Plus, it was the Gopher-Badger game, and it was an amazing game. It was so close...but we lost. Which was not so good, but it was still fun cheering and hanging out with people and stuff. Actually, I was with four other people, one good friend, two people I barely knew, and an old roommate who joined us later. I ended up sitting with the two people I barely knew, but that was sweet. It's really hard to hold a conversation at games though...and I'm a conversation person. Which makes sense, because I'm a girl and girls generally like to talk more than guys, at least for the most part.

Even more fun was going back to one of the guys dorms after the game and hanging out and playing a little guitar. That's right, I bought a guitar yesterday-ladies and gentlemen, I am officially a musician. Anyway, so by a little, I mean I learned like, two chords (actually three, but I can only remember two right now), and then watched my friend who helped me pick out my guitar play. I can't wait to be able to really play. I've been wanting to learn to play guitar for so long! Yeah...yesterday was a really fun day.
