[chellers] (my foot was on the dugout)
[chellers] it hit on the side
[helga_] eek
[noodleLeg] how's your foot?
[chellers] a little bruised
[chellers] but i can walk and everything
[noodleLeg] good
[chellers] it was in part my fault
[noodleLeg] how?
[chellers] i was going through my purse at the time
[chellers] instead of paying attention
[chellers] i probably could have moved out of the way if i was watching the game
[noodleLeg] during the game?
[chellers] :)
[chellers] yup
[helga_] chellers: that's why girls can't watch baseball
[helga_] too busy messing around in their purses
[noodleLeg] yeah if you were in the dugout watching that's not really your fault
[chellers] hahahaha
[ClydeFrogger] helga_: and thats why girls cant drive either

[chellers] noodleLeg: my foot was proped up on the dugout
[helga_] chellers: sitting behind the dugout, right?

[glitta] ha ha
[ClydeFrogger] and 1 chaperone
[noodleLeg] was it like private school?
[ClydeFrogger] i only went there 1 year...i didnt make the grades to go back the following year

[noodleLeg] haha
[noodleLeg] oh poor ClydeFrogger
[ClydeFrogger] glitta: ahaha
[noodleLeg] were you homesick?
[ClydeFrogger] some...but with the weekend visits every now and then, it got better as the year went along
[noodleLeg] were they mean?
[noodleLeg] is that why you always go to bed early and wake up when its still dark?
[ClydeFrogger] not really....the professors took more of a laid back teaching method
[ClydeFrogger] they just expected us to get the work done, so they didnt pressure too much
[ClydeFrogger] noodleLeg: nah, that was cause of bball during high school
[noodleLeg] were you happy or sad that you didn't go back the next year?
[ClydeFrogger] i was like "eh"...a bunch of the kids there were snobs anyways
[noodleLeg] sounds like a lil ClydeFrogger
[noodleLeg] so weird
