We felt like we haven't peaked all year, and there is no better time to reach our full potential.
We usually get a lot things going with our fast break. We weren't able to do that tonight.
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!
I want women to see, especially us big women, that you don't have to let them cut you and suck it out. You don't have to let them staple you up. You don't have to let them give you a pill.

You have to split, bend over backward, touch our toe to our heads to get recognized.
In case of emergency, do whatever your best friends tell you to do!
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.
We took a huge step making it to Boston. We've tried to keep that in the back our minds all season. It's finally here. We can get closer to what we want to do.
