Life update and my team

I haven't posted in a while. Well, this'll be my third post. So let's see if I'll start updating it, hm?

I was thinking about my teammates the other night at practice (well, duh. I was at practice) and how one of my teammates has a fanfic where she writes about us. And I thought- how awesome would it be to write about my team! We have the best collection of people that could possibly happen. Ever. So, here's a description the coolest 7 people you will ever meet:

Grace: She's one of the older ones on our team. A kind of leader and mommy for us all, she can be trusted with any kind of secret. She's kind of our unofficial leader usually, when Coach K. isn't around. She's also an inner rapper- somewhere under that superpale, freckley skin (that will never- NEVER- tan) is an angry black man... with MAD dance moves. She comes from a large, homeschooled family and knows every Taylor Swift song ever written. She's silly at heart, loud at times, and totally awesome.

Miranda: She's the fiery, passionate, short-tempered Cuban we've come to know and love. She's not short, but "fun sized" as she insists on calling it; one of the older ones on the team (around the same age as Grace and Sara). Twilight-obsessed along with Rachel, Frankie, and Liza, she often has writing all over her hands from class. She's got a wicked sense of humor and is more likely to shove you in the pool when she gets the chance.

Sara: She's strong and hardworking, also one of the older 3 Ask her to double the workout, and she'll do it- no questions asked. She's also moody at times and has been cheated on more times than any of us can count. While she's bossy at times, she's caring and sweet at heart. She loves teasing Grace about how their skin pigment differs- she's the darkest on the team with Grace being the lightest and Miranda being somewhere in the middle.

Niki: Evidently we're the only ones who don't call her "Nicole". She can be pessimistic at times. She's an amazing artist, usually on computer graphics, and has a Gaia account that she's on every day. She's taught me more slang and swear words than I even thought existed but still has yet to rival me "that's what she said" placement skills.

Liza: She's fun, fun-sized, flirtatious, and giggly most of the time. She's a cute girl who went to my school for all of elementary school (that's how she was introduced to the sport- I showed her). Boy-crazy to the end, she's the most likely to have that new crush obsession that changes three times in between practices. She's worn Kanye glasses on her head over her fluffy hair almost every day... for a year.

Rachel: She's Coach K's daughter (yet STILL ditches synchro for soccer during the fall! Goodness!) She's the second-youngest on the team and is, for one of the first times ever, not the baby of the team. While somewhat immature at times, she tries to act older then she is, and almost always succeeds in fitting in perfectly despite the age differences. She's crazy and hyper, and can be bossy at times. Still, she works her @$$ off for the sport and it pays off.

Frankie: This year's baby of the team, although she certainly doesn't seem like it. She looks and acts much older than she is (most of the time :P). She's also twilight obsessed and... strange... what more can be said?

That's about it, for now. By the way: this is only my 8-man (including myself) synchronized swimming team. There are other people in our club overall, this is just who I'm swimming with this year. Hopefully next!

On an unrelated note:

-I've gotten over my obsession with 21st Century Breakdown (by Greenday) and now can't get over nevershoutnever!. That's heart-melting stuff right there.

-I can't get out of the studio lately-- I love to write music, it's official! Too bad I can never seem to finish anything

-June gloom has set in, it's actually raining! In June! Huzzah!

-Summersummersummersummersummersummer is coming

-I can't stop checking Facebook updates. It's an obsession.

Now I'm off to stomp in puddles and take advantage of the rainy day :)
We NEVER get those!
