I am a Camosun Charger
You may ask, "What is a Camosun Charger?"
I will answer, "The women's basketball team on Vancouver Island that you should fear!" Well, last night at least.
Starting at 4 on Saturday we played our second game of the season against the Malaspina Mariners, (Naniamo), and WON! I have been told this was the first win in 2 years, (against a BC women's college team!), for the chargers. OI!
Well, everyone was estatic and it was time for Rookie Party. I, being 24 and the rest of team having an average age of 19, voluteered to be one of the sober designated drivers.
We dressed the rookies up as pimp rookie, clown rookie, ducky rookie, princess rookie and lucky leprauchan rookie and headed out. We made a pit stop at my house for a few shots and pizza then off to meet the boy's rookie party.
Here is where it got messy...
What can I say about the rest. In typical male basketball fashion, the Rookie Boys doned dresses and drank far too much. By 10 pm half the male rookies and 4/5 of the female rookies were ready for bed, however, everyone kept drinking. You got to love the logic of drunks.
As the night progressed, er rather, degressed, I must say that I haven't seen this much vomit, passing out or making out with strangers since I spent my two years attending Okanagan College back in 97-99!
It is times like these I don't mind being "old". Since I started playing I have had more than a couple fellow teammates tell me, "You are in really good shape for someone your age" or "I hope I will be in good shape when I am your age". Long and short viva 24! (for the next 9-days, then VIVA 25!)
PS.
*Next weekend the CHARGERS are in North Vancouver, (October 9th and 10th times TBA)
**We are back in Victoria October 22.

The all white is my kitchen. Yes, the rookie party started in my kitchen!?! The lack of luggage compartments can be blamed on the landlady's desire to not have luggage compartments in the kitchen.
