Soo...the last time I went to korea was when I was 9 yrs old. Korean people eat a lot of weird things and we love things fresh....alive if possible....HAHA I know it sounds freaky but, a lot of the older korean generation find that if they're eating something half alive, it's more appetizing.

Now, don't flame or hate on korean people, it's more of a culture thing and I really don't find it "wrong" maybe becuase i'm not a tree hugging green peace blah blah person.

Anyways to get to the point...I went to korea, and went to a City called Pusan and ate LIVE OCTOPUS! I remember the lady slicing this tiny octopus into like 2 inch slivers, and the tentacles and suction things were all still moving and sucking onto my chopsticks...and When I put it in my mouth it stuck to my tongue, teeth and roof of my mouth so I had to chew it really fast and swallow because it was wiggling around so much! Sounds yummy right? Well it actually isn't that bad ...interesting more like *_*

My family and I have a dinner once a week which includes my brother, mom, uncle, aunt and two younger cousins (who are so into WoW right now, i'm scared for them...and my youngest cousin said "I don't want to go to school, i wanna be a pro gamer just like you nunna! " ) but that's another story for another time ...omg I ramble so much ...okay so to get back on track , the LIVE OCTOPUS from korea are being imported here to dallas and sold LIVE!!!!!! So of course my mom and co are all excited to eat it this week becuase they are flown in fresh on thursdays ....

But when we have a family gathering its almost mandatory that my brother and I get drunk with my uncle...It's like a culture thing, alcohol is a very normal thing for korean people and we have a lot of rules and stuff that we follow when driinking with elders, but if they pour you a shot of soju or sake or whatever ...you can't turn it down...now , possibly the biggest match of the season was on thursday vs. exigent on de_train so I knew I couldn't go out with the family or else i'd be piss drunk playing my match ...and we all know that I carry Sk Ladies to victory so we can't have that now can we?!?! So what do I do?

I call my mom and explain to her that I have a big match tonight, and that I have to stay home and practice and stay focused....She of course offers to bring me food and give me a massage and wishes me luck and says "Okay, we'll have dinner on sunday then.."

Aren't I so lucky to have the coolest mom in the world who drives 30 minutes out of her way to bring me delicious food to pump me up for my match?!?!

Okay, so yeah...we're doing decent in ESEA-M at the moment...we have 3 more matches before playoffs begin and that's where its really going to get dirty...

But whatever happens from here on out,whether we win out the season and win esea-m or lose I think we've already learned so much and have so much more to learn and really on our way... I am already so happy and grateful to have the teamates that I do who work so hard not only in CS but outside of cs too in everyday life...we have Jso here who rides 10 miles a day to work on her bike and rushes home to practice with us and sacrifices all her boo's to play counterforces...we have alice lew who pisses off gravitas gaming (she lives with two of them, one of them being her boo) becuase she gets louder than them in our matches/practices and she goes to work and comes home immediately and can't even eat because we wont let her becuase we have to practice....

To missharvey who is in a huge turning point in her life in her career (which i'm SO PROUD OF) working for such a exceptional company as ubisoft and coming home and not sleeping for 72 hrs in order to play counterforces - I mean, we do have DOCKERS in our partner lineup supplying us with their great cranberry energy drinks, but still, 3 days without sleeping is a pretty good achievement.... and cath is just foreign -.-

These girls are just absolutely Emazing and if the SK community hasn't appreciated it before, u guys better start appreciating it now because this is really quite a special group of girls that SK has acquired ....*tear*
I LOVE YOU ALLL AHHHHHHH
