i have my own casanova now...sigh.

im so unbelieveably hungover right now.

we lost our women's softball game last night 15-3. i played center and batted 5th. offensively, i think i was 2 for 3...single, triple, grounded out to 1st. defensively, i caught half the balls that flew out and backed up my LF and RF until my legs gave out on me. sigh. tough loss.

afterwards, we had a team outing to bw3s. i used the "when you clink, you drink" with stephanie and kieu and we got drunk. haha.

cool beans...
