Entry 4 - 10/31/97 Sydney Diary

For everyone that thinks that Russia does not have toilet paper you are wrong.

Whenever I told people at home that I was going to Russia they all replied: "Oh my God, I had a friend that went ot Russia and they told me that there isn't any toilet paper over there." Imagine my dismay when everyone relayed such fallacies.

I am continuously running into people who experience temporary insanity in my presence. Once, this guy who worked at the grocery store wanted to call his wife and let her talk on the phone with me; "Or she will never believe that I met you." WOW, huh?

The worst thing is when people ask me; "Why didn't you win? You should have won that match." I just say; "Yeah, I know." Let me give all you readers some advice: Never tell an athlete that they should have won. We know. And it hurts us 10 times more than it hurts you. You go on with your life and you say: "Nice match, man that was epic." But us athletes we never forget it. Let's change the subject.

When I get home I definitely have to get to Fort Pierce (Florida). You see I have adopted a new sport, surfing. It is so fun but unfortunately I am not so good. I must admit I pose! So, if by chance you have read in an article that I surf that statement is inaccurate. I don't surf, I wipeout.

I'm not looking to attain world class skills, but I would like to know that when I paddle in for a wave I will not waste it. + all the time there are only guys in the lineup and they are all thinking this girl can't surf and they are right. I aim to prove them wrong even if it takes me 10 years.

~~~I lost my match today to Jana Novotna 7-5, 6-4. I have something to say about the match:

You do it to yourself
You do
And that's why it really hurts
You do it to yourself just you
You and no one else
You do it to yourself

The match was all about me, what I was going to make happen whenever I lose a match I just give it away. I do it to myself.

All credit to Jana though because she obviously was in her right mind today. I, on the other hand, was not.

OK. I am saying goodbye. I'll talk to you all later. The week is ending. Boo-hoo (tears)

Hello to all Radio Head fans. You all might have recognized the verse above from the song Just off their album The Bends. That was my favorite song back in August of 1995.

I also want to say hello today to everyone named Martin.

~~~ I think that Louise Woodword is innocent. Justice was not served.~~~
