Very interesting conversation

Is taking place on the SLSA forums about the new event rules. Right now it is only between 2-3 people, but I think that they are all making their points so well, that I don't feel the need to jump in. I do enjoy listening to everybody's side and views.

What could it be?

Something interesting is a brewing and in the works. Course I can't tell you about it now...but as soon as I can... Mwahahahaa!

Heat Results - That's me making the Semi-Finals!

Riding the Waves

I made the semis

How the hell did I manage that?

Want

Valley has a homestead sim for rent. 5000L a week. I think that is $80 a month. I am soooo tempted.

SLSA Directors

Have heard that 3 people applied for director. That is good, since there are three vacancies. Can't wait to see who the courageous souls are. I was feeling some pressure, from myself mostly, to throw my name in there. It's been 5 years now, and should I be giving something back? Or is being available to work any position in a comp enough?

Decisions, decisions

Do I keep this blog, which no body reads, it's snarky old self? Or do I make it more newsworthy? Can I combine the two? Am I brave enough to keep the snark in and the filter off, and risk offending someone?

Does it matter if no one knows it is here anyway and it won't be read?

Practicing on the HP5

And sucking so bad on it. Why do I even bother entering these things?

Something's a Brewing

Rumors, rumors... We seem to be missing a director. But nothing has been announced to the group. Grumble, grumble. I know I am nosy and always want to know just what the heck is going on... But geez, it sure seems like some sort of statement should be made. Doesn't the organization have the right to know at least the basic facts?

Barton Springs comp

Wave hopping, rocks and HP5s. Oh my!

Season Venues

So the list has been pulled back to tentative. That's fine. People make mistakes. No biggie. But now I don't know where to practice. *insert whiny cry here*
