Hey, Lisa!

I feel like watching Vampire Diaries, because I love Damon. DAMON!

But no, I'm going to work on The Voice.

Hi guys. :)

I just gt back from swim team, and they made us do "pyramids". That's when you do one lap, then two, then three... It's very tiring. :(

No, I meant Damon is hilarious.

But you are funny. In a good way.

ETA: Oh my gosh, Taylor, I love pyramids as long as they're sprint pyramids. What I hate is distance swims. I am a sprinter, not endurance.

Well, it depends on if I go back to swimming. I've been out with an injury for a few months and it's made me realize how destructive the competition is. I don't know how I can go back without getting supremely competitive.

Lisa, trust me, you are funny. Or at least, you are online. The definition of funny is: causing laughter or amusement; humorous

And there is a bad kind of funny. It's funny without morals.

Pyramids are NOT fun in swimming. Especially when you're underwater for front crawl. Back crawl/stroke (my swim team coaches can't make up their minds on what they want to call it) is alright, though.

But there is a really slow girl in my age group, and they don't start until she's back, so it gives us a break before we have to start again.

Packing. I would love to be packing. My youth group left for a missions trip to nothern Labrador, and I was too young to go. I am SO mad about that.

Taylor, I'm a nationally ranked swimmer, I know what stuff means :tongue

I like all sprint sets, especially the exhausting ones. My worst stroke is breast, though, which sucks. I can do a fifty free on one breath, so it doesn't bother me. Back is only fun when you're indoors, 'cause you can align yourself. Fly is my favorite, but not for more than a 100.

You?

Nationally ranked? o_O

Why didn't you tell me? Haha.

My best is front crawl or whatever you want to call it :p . My worst has to be butterfly and breast stroke. I'm super slow at breast stroke - though, I have to say that I have gotten faster - and I look like I'm a strangled, drowning... Cat, doing butterfly.

Yeah, lol, top fifty in my age group in the country since I was twelve. Used to be top twenty-five, but then I was injured.

Freestyle = the term used for the race in which most people swim front crawl. Free = the abbreviation.

Do you swim in yard or meter pools?

Meter. The pool in my town is pretty small. It's 25 meters long, adn th deep end is only eight feet deep. It's not the best. But, they're building a new one. Thank the good Lord.

And, I know what freestyle is! Hahah

No, lol, I meant that it's the most widely-used terms in the competition world, so it's what I say instead of front crawl. What everyone I know says instead of front crawl.

So, what's your 50 free time?

Ooh, gotta go, be late for work.
