2010 FIFA World Cup: Group Winners

Now I'm not an expert & I rarely, if ever, get lucky. However, what sports junkie doesn't enjoy making predictions without having to put money on the line? Ah, the benefits of blogging. Anyway, here're my picks for who'll be moving through the group stages. No matter how much sense I might end up making, remember, there's a good chance I'll be wrong. Feedback is, as always, welcome.

The Prom (Pt. 2)

The limo is an overrated experience. There, I said it. It's not like we needed it, as the amount of traveleing we did wasn't that much. It actually took longer to get to the limo than it would've to go straight to the event itself. But, most of us made it there & it was far from a terrible time. The party seemed to go down as one might've expected it to. I won the centerpiece during a game, which was fun. Some guy got shot down the road & ended up in our parking lot. Also, I got to chill out with a few characters that I hadn't really vibed with since elementary school. These guys almost forced me onto the bus to Wasaga Beach. Everything was kind of standard until we were getting ready to head out.

The Prom (Pt. 1)

As I've been asked to recap my prom, let me first tell you that the fun began in the preparation. Actually, it was less about fun & more about stress. Around these parts, we weren't allowed to have a table full of our members of our circle unless we could fill all 10 of the seats around it. The thing is we had about 17 people rolling with us that night so we were faced with ditching 7 of our friends. However, this crew doesn't leave members behind; which was good for me, because guess who would've got abandoned?

WonderGrad 2006 (Pt. 3)

As the lights flashed in the mirror, my heart was pounding like a hyperactive drummer. I turned the volume down & said "Guys, shut up. I think the cops are behind us". The squad started to look back asking "Where?" I asked "Don't you see the flashing lights?"

WonderGrad 2006 (Pt. 2)

Now, getting to the buses proved to be harder than any of us thought it was going to be. Other than "in the parking lot", we never knew where exactly we were going to be picked up so the idea was essentially "We'll know our bus when we see it." However after 1:00 in the morning, that plan didn't go over that well. We eventually made it without getting burned, although shouts to Eric's trick lighter. Getting there last lead to me ending up sitting with some random person while the usual crew was in the back of the bus enjoying the post-park pandemonium.

WonderGrad 2006 (Pt. 1)

Here's to the 12th graders I know that have asked "What's Grad Nite at Wonderland like?" Here's my story, as best as I can remember it.

Being the only person with a license & access to a car, I got to be the team driver. I had 4 empty spaces in the car & easily found 4 friends to fill them. Driving to school, I had Joshen with me & the trip went well. Parking was an adventure because "somebody" just had to be the guy to reverse-park into the principals usual spot but after a few tries, I pulled it off. We got there kind of early, so we had to kill some time before the rest of the team showed up.
