Girlfriend? Who needs one of them? All they want is your time and money! LOL jk. I had a girlfriend through FIRST, and that was fun. I mean we were always together and we always had stuff to talk about. Sadly, we broke up and team meetings have been really awkward since, but oh well. lol.
Secondly, cool is in the eye of the beholder. I remember back in 2003 when I was just my team's newb runner boy. But I thought it was the coolest thing ever, just being on a team where it didn't matter who I was...I was only a runner, but I was still just happy to be there where people accepted me. On that note, Sparky and CRT were the coolest two groups of people on the planet to me back then. Why? Those guys helped us get to nationals through Annapolis. If your signature isn't misleading, I think you're from Sparky, right?
Third. GALI! Dude. Who cares what jokes you're in on? All that matters is that it's all in good fun, right?
As for time, money, and sleep, those are part of the payment package for everything you get from FIRST: friends, confidence, pride in yourself and your team, knowlege, and above all, a good time. Need I say more?
