My jujitsu instructor loaned me his extra martial arts top since I forgot mine at home yesterday, and I used the class community white belt, which is a size 6 (my own’s a 3), way too long for me. The excess length of belt that hung off the knot kept getting kicked up and would hit me in the face. During one exercise, I did a back roll and the belt flipped up and hit me in the eye. I finished the move, then walked back to the line with the offended eye closed.
Instructor: What’s wrong with you?
Me: The belt hit me in the eye.
Instructor: (pause, then putting his hands on my shoulders, speaks solemnly) I feel your pain.
Me: (pause) I know. I mourn deeply.
Instructor: I should’ve called you. I thought about calling you, but you didn’t call me when SC lost.
Me: I expected you to call me, too. I was surprised you didn’t. I thought about calling you to harass you and I changed my mind.
Instructor: And I thought about that so I didn’t call you to give you a hard time, either.

Some students around us had laughed when we got all dramatic and the instructor told me he felt my pain, but didn’t realize until this point that we were talking about the UCLA loss of the final NCAA game to Florida.

Stupid Greg. I hope you get a papercut with the money you won. He actually called me and IMed me to say, “Boooo, UCLA! Goooo, Florida! I need money! I need new shoes!”

Oh yeah. AND my internet’s not working at home again. I don’t know what’s wrong, my laptop picks up my internet wireless connection with excellent reception, but is unable to connect into it. =P
