					<description>Oh, I see, on both of your responses. So, how will you be able to swim, play football, and stay on top at school. Unless your time management skills are astoundingly amazing (mine aren't), it seems like one of the aforementioned will get &quot;the boot.&quot; :sad:

Well, at the very least, Troy was worried where you were... :smile:</description>

					<description>About my mom coming to practice...She didn't even mention Micheal's name, she was just trying to figure out how I could blend my football schedule in with swimming.

By the way, the reason I haven't attended any swimming this week is because I hurt my wrist and injured my knee.</description>

					<description>Oh yeah, this morning was really nerve-wracking, even if I was off on the sidelines. So, what happened afterwards wasn't that bad; nobody really mentioned anything bad about you except Daniel remarked how your mom knew Michael was being a jerk. But to me, it felt like your mom was holding that speech in for years, just waiting for the moment to release it. 

So based on the reactions after you left, I can't really tell if you are thought of as a tattle-tale or not, but it really shouldn't matter too much. Generally, we have already isolated ourselves from the others, forming our own groups, going into our own lanes, etc. Having others think of you just a tad worse isn't all that bad. If you did nothing, their opinions of you wouldn't change, so you might as well &quot;go out with a bang.&quot;

Now, what's interesting is that Tuesday, I think, when your mom came to practice to talk to Todd, she was probably explaining the details between your guys' enmity. Is that right? Well, anyways, I'm surprised that if this rancor has been going on for such a long time, why weren't Michael's parents notified about the matter? When Michael entered his car, his mom looked like she never suspected a thing. Expect to see Todd say something to Michael or his parents come Tuesday, when Far Westerns are over. 

That whole scene, though, Michael facing your mom, I never watched a thing. Like Bitta and Daniel, I never looked up at the conversation, instead staring at the ground. Afterwards, I even saw you staring down. It was just a tense moment, and I'm glad that I wasn't taking part in it.</description>

					<description>Poogue Master,

About today with Micheal.  I was second guessing on letting my mom jump in but part of me said something had to be done.  I just didn't want to feel like the biggest tattle tale.  Can you tell me if you agree with my decision?</description>

					<description>Relieving pain or not, swearing still hurts others, and I can't rely on that statement, sorry.</description>

					<description>Well, I'm looking forward to reading why swearing is bad! I'm an avid anti-swearing advocate! :grin:</description>

					<description>Heh...you might as well try switching over to WordPress, where *hopefully* administration will be easier to manage.</description>
