<div class="IPBDescription">RULEZ j00</div> Anyway, for those of you who remember my post like this quite a few months ago about me going to a waterpolo tournament. HERES ANOTHER!!!!

Basically im going to cadet (grade 9 and 10) nationals in october. I am however only in grade 8. there was this big delay because of SARS, so it will really be the grade 10 and 11 nationals, and ill be in grade 9. Ill be the starting/only goalie for our team, representing all of B.C.

I'm basically just feeling rather happy about it and wanted to share it with you all. For those of you who think waterpolo is like a ballay <!--emo&???--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/confused.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='confused.gif'><!--endemo--> , lemme clear it up for you. It is one of the most tiring, painful (especially when you get nailed in the nose by a ball the size of a soccer ball, and as hard as an over pumped basketball), and scariest sports when everyone is bigger than you (think 6 foot 4, about 180 pounds) (big muscles) (scary) <!--emo&:(--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/sad.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='sad.gif'><!--endemo--> .

Heres me playing in victoria earlier this year against people my age (note that im about twice their size <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo--> )

    He looks angry.

    Hunters from Resident evil jump and swing their arms at your head, i think he was about to do that to the ball.. Or his head.

    Well, good luck on the tournament.

    Tbh., it takes a really good photographer to make good sports photos. Even though sports look cool in motion, people actually look really dumb if you capture still images. Unless, of course, you REALLY know what you're doing, and are willing to waste lots of film (as good photographers do).

    im 6 foot 2 and 170lbs (its all muscle baby <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo--> ), most people my age are around 5 foot 4 and 90 pounds (its all bone). And im actually not swiping at anything, it just looks different because jumping out of water without touching the bottom is a lot different from jumping up and down. instead I'm reading where hes gonna shoot and then diving to where the ball is gonna go. If you cant do that then you wont have enough time to react to the shots and youll get scored on, you really gotta look at their entire body in about a split split second to know where they're gonna shoot.
    Its funny though, there was this one picture of me and i looked secksy in it, i was about to shoot the ball so i was about waist height out of the water all tensed up and secksy. but they had to post that one on the webpage <!--emo&:angry:--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/mad.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='mad.gif'><!--endemo-->
