We really needed that. She could be the difference in the big games from last year.
We've lost the last two years in that game to get to the Final Four. To finally get over that, I think we'll be more relaxed once we start playing again.
I think I was frustrated early on because we weren't playing very well. I guess we woke up. We got things together, got things rolling.
I talk to myself. It's my worst habit. I often muse aloud, or, when people drive me crazy, I curse them aloud. I might do a ranting monologue about how pissed off I am about them, occasionally forgetting that they might still be in the room; now, that's weird!
My parents had a long and eventful marriage and were always a bit like movie stars to me when they were young.
Long-term heterosexual monogamy is still the dominant model: men and women still want to pair for a long period of time.
While I am most at home in London, I cannot really label myself as either British or Trinidadian. I write in the English language and live in the U.K. I find it hard to say that I am an entirely British writer, especially when I supported Trinidad in the 2006 World Cup and also support the West Indies cricket team.
We had one subject who was identified by residents and reportedly was bragging to residents that he would have some good stuff to pass out.
Trinidad's language is a fusion of English, African, and French, and so we have our own words and even our own dictionary. Steupse is a common local word, and it's the onomatopoeic word for the sound people make to show disapproval, or to show they are vexed, when they suck their teeth together.
Trinidadians love speaking their own English; it's full of poetic forms and can be playful and lyrical and comical. Trinidadians are verbal acrobats, and I love being on the island just to hear the people speak.
We fought and took their best shot. We weren't really able to get ours, so we're just happy to get this win. We really fought hard for it.
We fought and fought and fought. I think we took their best shot without ever being able to deliver ours.
This won't be our last time in Cameron; we'll be back here with a championship.
Usually (these showdowns) are pretty close. We were able to keep running and running.
