i have a public apology to make:
last night my wonderful, beautiful, slim, witty, kind, intelligent, caring, optimistic, hilarious, gracious mother gave us tickets, HER tickets, her FRONT FREAKING ROW tickets, to the jazz game. she was supposed to take matt, but at the last minute gave them to us so we could go out and have a date together. we felt bad, for like a second, and then took 'em and ran. we had a fabulous night--dinner before the game, amazing seats, and a good game. then the bomb dropped. i was caught. caught clapping for the thunder. did i want them to win? no. do i hate people who boo and hiss at the opposing team? yes. unless it's the lakers. so, i clapped when they made a good play. my mom happened to see this clapping on tv (yes, i was on tv. i'll sign autographs later) and called matt to warn me that my next ticket, my ticket for the boston game (ie: my chance to gawk and gaze and shaq for like 2.5 hours) was on the line. so i did what anyone would do. i clapped lower so she couldn't see me. like a fool. she saw me. and now my ticket is on the line. so, in an effort to get that ticket back:
mother dear,
i apologize from the depths of my soul for supporting the opposing team and therefore shifting 100% of my jazz dedication to the thunder. it was a foolish thing to do and it won't happen again (until i'm clapping my ass off for shaq). i will support the jazz with all of my being for the rest of the season and the rest of their existence. please forgive me my flaws and, if at all possible, find it in your kind, loving, wonderful being to take me to the boston game.
sincerely,
jessi
