My highlight has been meeting my boyfriend

[WhiteSteve]

Finally fulfilled my lifelong dream of playing competitive hockey. I guess I technically started in 2020, but got sidelined by the pandemic after only a month or so, then didn’t get back to it til summer of 2021, and then finally I felt like I could jump into a men’s league. I was an absolute disaster the first season in the winter, slightly improved but hampered by being on a bad team with no one to really lead the way for us talent-wise the second season over the summer. This fall season has gone much better for me, and while I’m still only getting a couple of goals, I’ve definitely improved a lot, so I feel like I’m starting to get the hang of it. I have a current teammate who was also on the first team I was on, and he told me I’m “10x better” than that first season. One last game tonight, so I’ll see if I can tally one more. I actually had two goals so far this season, but the scorekeeping sucks and I only got credit for one in the stats😭😂 But this team this season had a souvenir shillelagh from Ireland that we’d give out to whoever we decided was the player of the game, and I’ve won it twice, and once got this plastic sheriff’s badge that a late season addition to the team started giving out as kind of a joke to anyone who did anything hardcore. Two weeks ago I got both awards, the shillelagh for scoring the only goal in a loss, and I also told the other team’s bench “SHUT THE FUCK UP, I’LL KILL ALL OF YOU!” when I had let out this primal scream because I had fucked up a scoring opportunity, and someone from the other team mocked it, so I got PISSED, lmao. I should probably work on the ease with which I’m lobbing death threats, but I’m lying if I say I wasn’t proud to win both “awards”😂😂😂

And maybe my favorite part…. I grew up watching a much more physical style of hockey than we see today. I was a fan of the checking and the fights more than I was anything else about the sport, from a very young age. I was always very enamored with that, it was even kind of a dream of mine to be one of the tough guys who just policed the ice, although I didn’t play, so I never thought it was realistic. Welp…. another dream achieved, as I’ve gotten into a couple of scuffles and had a few blow-ups, and now I kind of have a reputation in the league as an enforcer. It’s not quite the same as in the pros where there’s a coach and they see the game getting chippy and they can send a guy out to settle people down, it’s more just people being like “I’ve seen that kid lose his shit in a BIG way, that’s not the one you want to tangle with.” A lot of people have said out loud, either to me or about me, that I’m crazy and they’d never fuck with me, and while some may view that as a bad thing, that’s music to my ears lmao. I don’t want to be a bully, and I’m not, I have a generally friendly demeanor, but I definitely like there to just be an understanding that I am positively NOT that guy you want to start problems with. And that seems to be important in this kind of league, because there are just a handful of guys out there who take things a little to seriously and start acting up. I’ll never be that guy, but I’ll be the first guy to come over to you and cool your ass off lmao.

And the best part is that ice rinks usually have cameras, and you can pay for a subscription service that allows you to access the footage for 30 days. So all my shenanigans are on camera, and shareable as gifs on here, lmfao. I keep fighting the same little feisty goalie😂, but now they put us on the same team, so we’re cool now. Stand by for the next idiot who has to get dummied, although I think I’m kicked out of the league if I get in another fight any time soon😝

I’m #8 in gray here, stepping in for a teammate because he’s like 65 and the goalie is maybe 27, smh. This got broken up before we could get going.

This is the one I want played on loop at my funeral😂 I’m #44 in green in this one, dropped him TWICE in as many punches (and note the slick helmet peel-off in the beginning… I was proud of that lmfao)

I posted my software on Reddit, a site that I barely visit, for seeing if people liked it. After that:

[sage2021]

Oh, that'd have to be when the pipes in my apartment finally broke and caused my bathroom ceiling to fall to the ground - and down went insulation baby and all.
Then when we finally got it put all back together, it fricken happened AGAIN two days later.
So far that cost me $80 to have someone clean it up.
I have another highlight but it's connected to the leaking pipes. I had to move to another apartment for a few weeks because the bedroom ceiling caved in and flooded the bedroom. Cha Ching - clean up for that mess cost ME $120.
Anymore questions?
Happy New Year 🎉

One of my kids and I went out of state to visit another at college for a weekend. It was family weekend and it was so much fun. I'm so proud of my kids and inspired by them!

[exitseven]

that is awesome.

[TrueConfection]

@exitseven Yes. One of my top favorite trips I've ever taken.

[exitseven]

I went to college and only applied to one school. If I didn't get in I wasn't going to go at all. Somehow I was accepted and I ended up going. I never went to visit the campus or go to any orientation. I just jumped into the deep end and tried to swim.

[TrueConfection]

@exitseven My kids and I did some college visits. In this case, I was visiting my kid who is already there.

[exitseven]

My parents never came to visit me. They had a parents weekend and I figured it would be lame. I was one of the few kids whose parents were no shows. Even my girlfriend's parents drove over a thousand miles to come. I really felt left out.

[TrueConfection]

@exitseven Awe, I'm sorry. I have to pick which one I go to because they're at the same time or consecutive weekends and the kids are spread across 3 states.

[TrueConfection]

Thank you for the MHO ❤

[exitseven]

I bet if you get up early and drive a little faster you could do the 3 college tour in one weekend.

[TrueConfection]

@exitseven Maybe if I was 20 years younger. 😂

[exitseven]

@TrueConfection Yes, I sure get that.

[FunkyMonkee]

I came into a few thousand records this Spring and had a good bit of fun cataloging them, going through them to find what I got, listening to them, getting Delta numbers and other pressing plant info from them and sorting them into the order I wanted them. Now, I just have to pull out the ones I don't want and try to sell them.

[Guy13]

Met this girl end of July that I have not yet screwed it up with 🎉. Still got that Christmas 🎄 hurdle to hop though.

[CoolCatMar1]

Okayy

[MCheetah]

Although it's not that great or fantastic, I guess it'd be my weight-loss surgery in August. I've only lost about 66 pounds (30 kg) so far, though. Still got another 18 at least to go.

[exitseven]

66 pounds is really good. You don't want t ogo too fast.

[jennifer_bloom]

For me it involves 3 things, one is working on my book ideas, another is seeing a funny guy post jokes on this site, and the third involves finding funny animal videos online and doing loving kindness and religious meditation.

[7Phoenix7]

This year has actually been a nightmare for me. The highlight I guess was developing a strong bond with my best friend. 2023... Im looking forward to it.

[BCRanger10]

Getting consecrated as a Catholic Catechist by a cardinal whom I tremendously admire and respect and is considered a potential contender to become the next pope.

[ArtemisSilver]

Spend time with my little kids and teaching them their numbers and letters. Singing to them. Telling my old boss to fuck go fuck themselves and still getting paid.

It's a been a mixed year, but not without some bright spots.
