Yesterday the UPS delivery man came as usual at four thirty, the fammiliar thump thump up the stairs, my Beagle Benny raising his head from the dog bed wondering who it would be? It was my usual guy, a 200 pund brown clad red faced, crew cut UPS hero Mr.l X with his typical "Anything going out today?" question. I gave him a package, he scanned it, all routine stuff, but as he was leaving he stretched out his left hand and yelled " Go Seahawks!"
right there and then, I knew I was in a tight spot. I never took to sport, especially "with the guys" and always felt completely alienated from the whole scene. in grade school, I was the one who walked off with one of the goal posts (a wooden taburett serving as such) to sit on down the side line and my gym teacher Mr.Knudsen beat the crap out of me for doing so. "Yeah, right" I yelled back at my UPS driver and he was happy at my response. I played my role well, he almost believed what he wanted so badly to believe, that I was one of the cheering crowd of his favorite team. I think that the Sea Hawks plays foot ball, but I'm not really sure. Maybe baseball? I couldn't care less. Now i know that many women are interested in sport as well, and I am not at all saying that sport is only a male ocupancy. I'm just cultured to understand that among men, football, is a MUST. I'm the one who always was without this MUST.
Fall out from the New Years party was this: I had appeared as
Sejd at the party, and everyone accepted me, everything was just fine. A couple of days later, I met up with the hostes of the party, she said: X my husband has a book for you, I think you are really going to like it; OK, bring it on, was my answer. When I came home the following day, my GG told me they had left the book "The Rocky Horror Show" for me to read. Oh well, how could they know I was not a cross dresser but their friendly neigborhood Trannie???? LOL. I'm sure they will catch on as I intend to become Sejd full time. Sweet people they are though, and I know I am very blessed to live in a super liberal community.
Thanks for all of you for being here
hugs

You are taking a path less travelled Sejd - I'm glad you have an adventurous, brave spirit.

While I hated most sports in school I did like playing hockey and football, and watch them a fair bit still. So stall for time, give me a ring and I'll tell you what to say. Like "The Seahawks? What a bunch of bums! They only won because The Cowboys are bigger bums!"

That'll either get you punched out, or a hearty laugh and playful punch on the shoulder. Either way it will hurt. :raisedeyebrow: :D You're welcome. :tongueout

I call the Seahawks "my" football team. The only reason I like them is that they have cool emblems on their helmuts. I don't follow them at all. My hubby is a super football fan and the games are on all weekend. Yuck!

But "having" a team gives me some connection to him in his sports world. Sometimes it is a joke. It's never serious at best.

I've never really been a sports fan. I used to go see my school basketball games in college. I liked that so much. But on TV, I can pass. I'd rather wash the windows.

I'm thinking about getting that Seahawks sleepshirt at wal-mart :D

But I haven't watched a game all season.
I'd go over but the price of tickets is just out of reach these days.

As usual though they pulled a rabbit out the other day!!
I'm from Seattle and they are my team though!!
