a note about hockey for those who might be interested...

Here is what happened:
Lisa and I went skating, but we were really disapointed because both of us could hardly skate due to how shitty the skates were. We took them off and the guy "sharpened" them right in front of us, put them back o n and tried again. I had one skate that had sort of an edge and lisa still had none. There were hockey sticks behigd the counter and we were so excited and asked if we could use them and he said no eventually he told us it would cost an extra 35 piunds (7 bucks) to rent them. As if. He did tell us about a hockey "league" where guys come on friday and play a game. He told us we were invited to come. Lisa and i were skeptical because of how bad the skates were and he didn't have a lot of information but we decided we would check it out sometime anyway.
So while the idea of skating was awesome the actual skating was less awesome. But even with our bad skating we impressed three girls who came to watch. I invited them to come skate with us so they did. Back to the horrible skates... before sharpening the skate blades are completely rusted over. But the guy refused to sharpen the skates for these Egyptian girls. So even if they had the skills (or we taught them the skills) to skate they couldn't because of the horrible skates. It made Lisa and I sooo mad. The girls seemed to really like it anyway. we were trying to explain that it was extra hard to skate becasue of the skates but we aren't sure if they got it or not. One of them spoke English pretty well the other 2 didn't speak a lot. But we went bolwling and then for dinner with them. It sure is nice to meet people other then people we work with. It is even nicer to get out and do somethign different.
After dinner lisa and I were going to a movie. As we were buying our tickets we hear someone calling our name we look over and he says "hey are you guys the ones who want to play hockey?"
We went over and talked to him and he seemed like a really nice "normal" guy. he told us that he had different skates that we can use and he would sharpen them for us. He said that they have a coach fro the states (now i wonder what exactly this means). He said that he lived in the UK for a while and played there.
After talking to him Lisa and i are really excited to play. We exchanged information and he texted us to tell us there will be a game this wednesday. Lisa and i are deciding if we will go or not. We would have to go straight off the bus... the other thing is it costs 35 pounds each time. but for now I think it is worth it...

  1. that's sweet kail. you should totally go. at least the first time cause then you will know if you want to do it \ if it's worth it or not. but if you don't go the first time you might not end of going at all. good luuuuckkk
