like woah.

We're playing Ovetchkin Washington tonight. Meaning right now.
How interesting.

In other news, my Christmas was pretty good.
Got a new phone, radio:ACTIVE, some clothes, candy, jewelry, a wii, and yeah.
And the Christmas brunch was amusing. My family is insane.
Oh and I'm going to a Sabres game in February with my cousins. That will really be insane!

What comes next in this sequence? Crustacean, kumquat...
Antidisestablishmentarianism!

wicked songs.

You know that killer song, She's A Lady by Forever the Sickest Kids? Yeah, I think it'd be pretty wicked epic sweet to be described by that song. I think it totally could fit me. "she enjoys pointing out every bad thing about me. I'm in love with a critic and a skeptic." Hello, totally me.

So could On My Own by Hedley. It's totally not me and then it gets to the second verse. "How'd you end up oh so jaded? Cynical and so sedated." Mhmmm.

But there's a lot of songs that have like one line or verse that I really connect with. Like Guilty Pleasure by Cobra Starship. "I can dish it, 'cause I know how to take it."

And then there's like fifteen Simple Plan songs that are so me. I really like Time to Say Goodbye. It's easy to apply to friendships when you're mad at the friend. Haaa. "After all the things I've done for you, you never tried to do the same. It's like you always play the victim and I'm the one you always blame. When you need someone to save you, when you think you're gonna drown, you just wrap your arms around me and pull me down!"

"Luck, love, and life aren't on our side. I'm in the wrong place at the wrong time, always the last one in a long line, waitin' for something to turn out right." Isn't that me? Just My Luck by McFly, by the way.

salen's hotdogs & finger injuries

Today, in basketball, my finger was tragically injured. My right ring finger, if you're wondering. It's all swollen-ish and hurts to bend, straighten out, or touch. I would know- I constantly try all three. And it's all bluishly bruised. Mourn for my finger. ):

In other news, the Sabres are currently sucking it up in Pittsburgh. (:

"I came back to WNY for the same reason everyone does; the salen's hotdogs."
Well, that was amusing.
Yay for radio commercials.

And yes, I am freakishly talented and able to type while two of my fingers are taped together. Ownage. B)

arizonaaaaa. how you like the rain, gurllll?

I saw Twilight tonight. It was fantastically amazing. Might I sum up my experience?

Previews:
Annoying girls took pictures, Anna wanted to throw popcorn at them.
We talked about random stuff and laughed hysterically.
Puddinggggg.
Discussed my neighbor, her cats, and her deliquent brother that lived with her for a while when he was on house arrest for "counterfeit phonics selling" (according to STM & Hale)
STM spilled like half the thing of popcorn on Hale.

Movie:
I annoyingly commented at everything.
Hale and I had a mini-popcorn war.
Okay, Edward is not sparkly. He just looks sweaty.
"Hey Bella," -waves giant knife- Niceee oneeee.
Rosalie cracked the bowl. Haha.
"Jasperrrrrrrrr." is what I said every time he came on screen.
Jasper has mad baseball bat twirling skillz and a slight southern accent.
Edward has mad "apple off the foot" skillz.
"Arizona. How you like the rain, gurllll?" -shakes hat annoyingly whilst Bella gives 'what the hell?' stare- Ah, Mike. I love you.
NEWTON DANCE! We're so going to Winter Homecoming just to do that. < 3
"Ah yes, they're dancing around the bonfire. Doing the Newton dance, I suspect." My response to the "James bonfire."
Most awkward to film scene: Carlisle biting and "making out with" Eddie's neck. Close second: biting Bella's wrist.
"Bella's my home girl." Mhmmm. Nice one Eric.
Charlie's an alcoholic.
-does the Newton finger thing-


Afterwards:
Misbehaving by waving our hands in front of the movie projector thing....
Avoid happy daggers!
Mike Welch plays Mike Newton! So food-y! (if that makes sense....)
"Mike could advertise fig newtons-" -does finger thing- "Jacob could advertise crest whitening strips and twizlers. Edward could advertise Volvos. Jasper could advertise baseball bats. Emmett, knifes. Rosalie, bowls; 'look, this one's so strong it doesn't break!'."
The candle wouldn't go out....
Air hockey is intense!
For some reason, Transformers is on the Twilight soundtrack.

That's all for now!

haa.

So, we were delivering pies today and we happened to have to deliver some to Tallinder and Lydman. We realized a few things, so I decided to share.

1. The Tallinders have a rug with a "T" on it that's on their front porch. The Lydmans have the same rug, only with an "L". Therefore, we figure Spacek must have an "S" one and they all went shopping together.

2. The Lydmans have an adorable little dog named Leo. Leo jumped on me.

3. Leo looks a lot like Spacek's dog. We think that they must have went rug and dog shopping together.

4. Tallinder has the cutest kids everrrrrrr. Like seriously cute, dude.

awwww.

Today Tallinder was outside riding his bike and his two adorable little kids were driving around in their little Jeep truck thing. Adorable. And he has a really cool hat.

In other news, my dad compared me to Tim Connolly, seeing as I was complaining about Timmy always being injured. He was all, "And you're one to talk?" And then I hit my finger on the edge of a window therefore proving his point. I'm just a tad bit accident prone....

That is all. (:

the decline of the world... but mostly america.

Okay, so I'm taking on a little more than I can chew with this topic since there are so many influences to the decline of intelligence, morals, values, and other things in the world. But right now, I'm just going to focus on one that is blatantly obvious to me. The decline of television.

Now I'm not saying TV is bad, because it has the potential of being really good. There are tons of shows you can learn from. But right now, the majority of shows don't fit that description. And that's kinda sad.

Today I watched one episode of one of my favorite shows- Boy Meets World. Unfortunately it's not played on TV anymore and I had to watch it online, but I digress. Point is, Boy Meets World is a show that taught so many life lessons, it's crazy. And it was still an amazing show.

I think the one episode of Boy Meets World today had more life lessons in it than all the episodes of Hannah Montana I've been forced to endure put together and multiplied by fifteen. Yeah.

And that's why our future is bleak and everyone is messed up. TV changed from shows with good morals and life lessons to shows about selfishness and greed. So who are all the Corys and Shawns of our generation and the one growing up now? Certainly not all the kids wasting their time watching Hannah Montana or Wizards of Waverly Place or even iCarly.

I fear for the world.

On a lighter note...
I am my own worst Eskimo!

well now...

Apparently Rivet is no longer a Waterfordian. Yes, my mom has recanted her statement. Frankly, I'm glad my neighborhood is not tainted with Rivet-ness. Mhmm.

But now my mother is claiming Pommerdoodles lives in Teppo's old house, next to the big one that I always wanted to go in when it was a show house but noooo, my parents wouldn't stop there. As hopeful as I am, I don't think that's true since, well, wouldn't I have heard about it previously? We Waterfordians are quite proud of our Sabre status. Even Zhao knows who lives here!

Well, I'll find out eventually. I mean, if I start to see massive amounts of dog toys accumulating on the yard....

In other news, Tallinder has the cutest kids in the world. They're adorable. So adorable you just want to steal them, but they you're reminded that that is kind-of not legal and resist. Just barely.

it was just one of those games.

It was just one of those games where afterwards, you can't stop smiling. You skip down the hallway, grinning like a madman. You want to shout and yell things in happiness. It was just one of those games.

I didn't even watch the first two periods, fearing being traumatized by Versus. But I decided to watch the third, figuring I could live. And well, the trauma-inducing Versus was well worth seeing the ending of that game.

It was great. I arrived just in time to see the Sekera/Kaleta goal. Lovely. And, for once in my life, I meant 'lovely' in a non-sarcastic way!

And so I spent the remainder of the game making semi-snarky comments in my head. Might I share? Yes, I shall.

1. Goalies- and players in general- who wear number one come off as egotistical and really should pick a different number. Especially if they're a back-up.
2. It also doesn't seem very fair that goalies don't haveta take their penalties. Mairsy can't just go "um, yeah. Not in the mood. Send Kaleta for me, will you? Thanks, you're a doll," so why should Millsy? We do have a back-up goalie for such an occasion, dudes.
3. I think I would be a better commentator than Versus. Now that would be interesting; me commentating.
4. At that point, I was commentating in my head.
5. I got bored.
6. Very, very bored.
7. My mind wandered to the word I wasn't allowed to say, or even think, about.
8. It was hard not to think about it.
9. I started "la, la, la" -ing to avoid thinking about it.
10. It didn't work.
11. Stupid Versus dude said THE WORD.
12. I scoffed and decided he would be blamed if/when the Devils scored. JINXER!
13. I had the "fat giggles" when Versus dude started talking about Miller's possible back-to-back donuts. Donuts? Really?
14. The Sabres heroically won and Miller valiantly claimed his second consecutive shutout (which hasn't happened in years, apparently), after saving a damsel in distress (don't ask me how Goose got stuck in that tree), defeating a dragon (okay, so it's was Spacek's cute little doggie)*, and ending world hunger (well, he made a cake in his easy bake oven), of course.
15. The Sabres did their cute "hugs and snuggles for our favorite goalie" thing. But it was cruelly cut off from my view by the malevolent Versus.
16. I commenced skipping and grinning insanely then began to write this post.

Well, I guess that's it.

*No animals were harmed in the 'defeating a dragon' scene. Really. Ry-Ry lovessss aminals. Especially when they drool all over him. Seriously.

Halloween

Might I say, my Halloween was quite amazing. Well, I'm sure you think it's because I got massive amounts of sugar to rot my teeth with. Well, yeah, but there's more! Halloween went like this:

Julie and my cousins went trick-or-treating with me. Cousins and I were all Sabres and Julie didn't fit in. Which quite a few people commented on. Actually, a lot of people were like "hey, look! It's the Sabres," and things of that nature. It was really kind-of cool; everyone liked our costume. And then we got to Tallinder's house.

Now I figured that Tallinder would be lazy and send his wife to answer the door, but I was wrong. I think the conversation went like this:
Meg: "Oh my gosh, Tallinder's coming to the door!"
Me: "You're freakin' kidding me!!!"
Meg: "No, I'm not!"
-cue door opening-
-weak "Trick-or-Treat" as we stare in awe at Henrik Tallinder who proceeds to talk in a semi-funny accent-
HE SAID THAT HE LIKED OUR JERSEYS! Yup. x3
Tallinder: "Happy Halloween!"
Me: "You too!"
-door closes, we skip down the driveway merrily-
Me: "I SAID 'YOU TOO' TO HENRIK TALLINDER!!!"

And then there were a good number of houses and we arrived at the Lydmans' place. There were already people at the door (they appeared to be friends with the Lydmans) and they were bold enough to comment on our costumes.
Random Person: "Oh, here's the Sabres dropping by. There's Miller and Numminen. Nothing unusual for you guys!"
-we stand there smiling awkwardly before walking to the door and saying another weak "Trick-or-Treat"-
-Toni Lydman just kinda holds the bowl of candy out to us, saying something I didn't really catch because I was too preoccupied looking at his tattoos-
-we smile and leave-
Me: "OMGSH, LYDMAN HAS TATTOOS ON HIS ARMS!!!"

Then we proceeded to go to many other houses until we got to Vanek's, where we discovered he once again had his lights off. I promptly came up with a strongly-worded letter in my mind as I complained about it, and then we continued onto the Numminen place.

Unfortunately, Teppo was not there/did not answer the door. We did get a lot of candy. And then we took leaves off his lawn. TEPPO LEAVES! Yeah, we were acting a little crazy. Because we are.

Then, as we made our way back to my house, I stopped at the one street and went "hmmm, you know what? We should go to that house," -points to house two lots or so over from where T-bo used to live- "I bet no one goes there and they'll give us tons of candy!"
Cousins: "Yeahhhh."
So we walk, laughing and happy up to the house. And then we realize the door is wide open and are just a little confused before some of the cousins start saying "Trick-or-Treat." And then we get the biggest surprise ever. Spacey walks to the door! Along with his adorable little doggie.
Spacek: -says funny stuff in his silly accent-
Us: .....
Spacek: "Have some candy!" (or something like that...)
-we smile and take candy from the bowl, thanking him of course-
Spacey: "Have a good night!"
Me: "You too."
-we skip merrily down his driveway, picking up some Spacek leaves on the way out-
One of the cousins: "Did you understand like anything he said?"
The rest of us: -happily- "Nope!"
Me: "His dog was soooo cute! You'd expect him to have something big and tough, but no, he has a tiny little terrier-thing!"

And finally, as we were finishing up in one last (unfortunately) Sabre-free court, I somehow managed to trip myself with my own hockey stick.
Me: "..... Do I get a penalty?"
-a little later-
Me: "If I played hockey, I would get a penalty for tripping myself."

THE END.
NOW GO WATCH THE SABRES GAME!
I'm sure they're all gonna talk about how much they loved the four kids dressed up like Sabres with the Random Egyptian Girl. (:

Welll....

I'm sorry to inform you of this, but I think I'm the Sabres good luck charm.
Yeah, I know, you're going "what the hell, has Anna gone crazy again?"
Well, first off, I don't have to go crazy. I'm naturally crazy, thank-you-very-much.
Secondly, I'm serious here!
So far, the Sabres are:
4-0-0
when I'm watching the game.
2-0-1
when I'm listening to the game.
and 0-2-1
when I don't listen or watch.
See?
When I don't watch, we don't do as well.... Which means the Sabres are sort-of screwed since I've been too busy to really watch lately. I mean, tonight I turned on my radio when happened to check the website and I saw the score was 5-2, but it was too late to reverse the damage of the Sabres not having me to cheer them on. Sorry guys.

The Goose is Honking!

Goose is playing tonight! Yayyyy! Or should I say, Honkkkkk! ?

I blame society.

I'm left-handed. It's a pretty known fact. And if you didn't know it, well now you do. Anyways, the point is, I was reading some stuff about left-handed people, because well, why not? Pretty much, we get the short end of the stick just because we're unique.

1. Left handed people write from left to right, so that their hand smears the fresh ink across the page. Those who are right handed do not touch the ink until they get to the next line, so the ink has a few seconds to dry.

2. If you grab a coffee mug with your left hand, the picture will be facing away from you. Those who are right handed get to look at the picture while they drink.

3. Left handed people have little choice where they get to sit at large dinners, lest they bump elbows with a right handed person.

4. Car stick-shifts are on the right side of the driver. Less frequently used controls, such as headlight switches, are on the left side.

5. Scissors, kitchen knifes, bowling balls, computer mouses, golf clubs, can openers, baseball mitts, hockey sticks, guitars, bows (archery), desks, and more!

6. Left handed people are more prone to allergies, insomnia, migraines, dyslexia, schizophrenia, alcoholism, dying younger, and other stuff.

But there are some "ha, in your face right-handed peoples" kind-of things, too.

1. Studies suggest that left-handed people are often unusually creative, inventive, and athletic.

2. Lefties seem to have more of an edge in many sports. In tennis, and other games played with a racket, they have an advantage over right-handers because their opponents are accustomed to the spin, angle of return, and weakness of right-handed players. In baseball, left-handed batters stand on the right side of home plate, several steps closer to first base than a right handed batter.

3. Left handed people tend to be more likely to be on the extreme ends of the intelligence scale then right handed people. Meaning we're either really dumb or have an incredible IQ.

4. People who are left handed tend to think of many things simultaneously and start many activities.

5. The associated right brain hemisphere that is said to be more active in left-handed people, has been found in some circumstances to be associated with genius and is correlated with artistic and visual skill.

6. Lefties have excelled at both ends of the scale - the very good and the very bad. They seem to make exceptional leaders, inventors, artists, musicians and murderers!

Famous left-handed people?
Well, there's Prince William, Phil Esposito, Bobby Orr, Jimi Hendrix, Bob Dylan, Kurt Cobain, Paul McCartney, Wolfgang Amedeus Mozart, Ringo Starr, Ludwig Van Beethoven, Napoleon Bonaparte, Julius Caesar, Emperor Charlemagne, Winston Churchill, Joan of Arc, Helen Keller, Henry Ford, Albert Einstein, Marie Curie, Leonardo Da Vinci, Lewis Carroll, H.G. Wells, Hans Christian Anderson, and more.

So what have we learned? Right-handed people discriminate against amazing lefties by making products that are difficult for us to use then charging us tons more for left-handed products and not even offering these products in places like schools. Also, left-handed people are clearly more creative and are good leaders, artist, musicians, and more, but still are more likely to have some unfortunate health problems and ultimately die younger.

Summary? Be nice to lefties!

So,

So, you know how Pommerdoodles has a blog thing? Welll, I submitted a few questions. You'll know if they're mine if he answers them. Haha.

In other news, Madagascar is winning the game, Spacey's in the box or somethin' and the world is endingggg. Well, maybe not the last one, but close enough.

Well, I've given up on winning this game. But I'm sure Millsy will be just fine. He'll go bake with Danny and then have a big tea party along with Staffy, Clarkie, Doodles, and their good friend Sir. Pigeon Pigeington. Goose would be invited, but he's not fond of tea. It burns his feathers. And as much as he'd like some crumb cake, he's watching his goose-ish figure. Oh and it's way past his bed time! Of course, they'll need to ask Limey to make them some tea, bless. And of course, Limey won't trust them with anything but paper plates and plastic cups. He barely trusts them with an easy bake oven and is currently cross at Vanek for buying dangerous toys for the little ones and not keeping an eye on them. He might have an endless paycheck, but that doesn't mean he should put the team in danger! And if you don't understand Limey's thoughts, then you obviously don't know how Goose or Hecht really got injured....

Pommerdoodles, what did I tell you about chewing your sticks? Sigh.

Aww, little baby Paetsch helps score. I think he'll be getting a gold star tonight!

TOMMY VANEK TIES THE GAME! It's like a flashback to the old days where I was an unexperienced fan and every game was won in the last two seconds. Haha. Tommy has been temporarily forgiven by Limey. I'm sure Limey's even considering buying him some chocolate to show him how properly sorry he is. It's just so easy to blame him for things, but then he looks at you with sad Tommy eyes and you go "aww, what the heck (if you swear he'll be cross with you), I forgive you."

They mentioned Tally and Toni in the same few seconds; are they a pairing tonight? Gasp. BFFZ reunited and it feels so gooooooddddddd.

ROYZIEZIEZIEIZIEZIEZIEZIE SCORESSSSSSSS. I love you Der-bear. And I'm positive you'll be getting a gold star too! Maybe you'll even get an invite to the tea party if you're not too busy denying the fact that you want to go to it and are quite jealous of Drewsie and Clark-bar fitting in with the older kids.

A little bit of everything.

1. There's a game tonight! Yep, the Sabres are in Madagascar tonight.

2. RJ is being featured in some show thing that I've come to the conclusion I must watch. It's on at 7:30.

3. I was reading the Update on Prospects thing and made a few discoveries.

- Nathan Gerbe might not be in the NHL this year, but he's got something over a lot of the guys in the league; he's actually hit puberty!

He's got more facial hair than Briere and Crosby combined.

And that little tag on his helmet; very stylish. I'm sure even Millsy is jealous of that.

-They have a picture for Lucky Seventeen, only he's wearing number four. Which doesn't make sense seeing as he's obviously seventeen. xp

4. Cap'n Ribbet is now injured along with like half of our team. On the good side, it wasn't a lame injury like thumb or finger. On the bad side, his curfew will be moved down to 8:30. And he probably won't be allowed to go out and play. On the other good side, I'm sure he's received plenty of new teddy bears. Or maybe frogs....

5. Pommerdoodles clearly appreciates Clarkie and Sekera-Sekera.

6. I don't think I've ever shared the Sekera-Sekera song, have I? Haha.

Vanekisms.

Now that Vanek has a kid and a wife, he's suddenly turned into a wholesome father. And with that, I'm sure he has spread the 'joy' with his teammates through a lot of ways that annoy the hell out of them (or as I call it, Vanekisms). What are the things he says? Well, I'm the kind of person that can guess exactly what he'd say. Maybe it's because we share a neighborhood.

"Don't forget to wash behind your ears, Royzie."
"Tommy, I know how to shower...."
"I know, but everyone forgets to wash behind their ears...."

"You know, most children learn to speak by age one or two; have you ever thought about seeing a professional?"
".... -swears in Russian-"

"What do you say?"
"Tom, just give me my god damned jersey."
-singsong- "Not until you say the magic word, Petey."

"You know, veggies are an important part of your diet. Just because you think all you should be eating is bread crumbs-"
"HONK, HONK."
"Don't you take that tone of voice with me, mister! That's a time out for you!"

"Tom, I know that you're getting into this whole father thing, but was it really necessary to force Clarkie and Drewsie to draw pictures to hang around the locker room?"
"You know, children respond well to encouragement. You should have seen how happy they were when I hung their pictures."

"Teppo, did you ask if you could take the puck from that guy?"
"Vanek, we're playing hockey! You don't ask to take the puck from someone!"

"Tom, I think you're going a little too far-"
"I don't like that tone of voice. Just because you're captain doesn't mean you can misbehave! That's two minutes in the naughty chair."
"What?! I-"
"TWO MINUTES!"
"But-"
"Now, mister or I'll make it four!"
-sighs and sits in small chair-
"Now think about what you've done."

"Now Ryan, do you know who that is?"
"Uh, Tommy, that's Goose."
"VERY GOOD! You figured it out alllll by yourself. Now, can you tell me what color this is? Take your time, little guy."
"...."

"Spacey, you played so well tonight, you get a gold star!"
"Van, we're grown men. We don't want-"
"Oooh, oooh, can I have one Tommy? Pleaseeee? I even said the magic word!"
"Very good, Pommerdoodles. You get two gold stars!"
"Yayyy!"

"You know Timmy, they say that going to bed early helps you heal faster..."
"So?"
"Well, I decided to move your curfew from 9:00 to 8:30."
"What? But Goose gets to stay up until 9:30 and he's healing too!"
"Yeah, but you never seem to heal properly. That extra hour of sleep will do you good."
"This is so NOT fair."
"Aww, come on. Turn that frown upside down, mister!"

"You know, young minds are very impressionable. So, I've decided that no one is allowed to say any naughty words in the locker room any more."
"What? Vanek, you do know we're not babies."
"Don't give me attitude, mister. I heard Pommers say some awful things the other day. He needs his cute innocence, that and a cool name is all he has!"
"Well, you have a point...."

"Danny, I'm very disappointed in you."
"Oh come on, Vanek, I didn't do anything!"
"Don't lie to me, young man, I saw you take the new toy truck I gave to Sekera!"
"I didn't-"
-glares menacingly-
"Okay, but it's not fair! I wanted a red truck but all I got was an easy bake oven!"
"Don't be greedy, Danny. Now go apologize to Sekera and maybe he'll let you play with him."

"You know, I always say that you have to discipline kids properly. You could really learn from that, Lindy."
"Get back to the game, Vanek."

"Stop right there, young man! You completely high sticked innocent little Toni over there! You go apologize to him and then two minutes in time out!"
"Excuse me, but I think giving out penalties is my job." (ref)

Kaleta, stop right there."
"What is it now, Vanek?"
"Did you really think I wouldn't notice?"
"I didn't do anything!"
"I told you that you weren't allowed to have any sweets for the rest of the week. Now what's that Take 5 doing in your hand?"
"Uh... I'm taking it for a walk?"

"Koda, I heard from Nathan that you wouldn't share your toys..."
"I can't believe him; he's such a tattletale!"
"You have to be nicer to the younger players, Koda. Back in my day...."

Vanek: "Stop that right now, misters!"
Random fighting guy: "Um, excuse me?"
Vanek: "Fighting is not the answer! Now Kaleta, let go of him right now or you can't watch TV for a week."
Random fighting guy: "What's going on?!"
Kaleta: "I'm sorry, Vanek. But it wasn't my fault, he said that my mom-"
Vanek: "That's enough, Patrick. Now, go take a time out in the naughty chair and think about what you've done."
Random fighting guy: "Seriously, what is this?"

drewwwwwwww.

drewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww.

"He had Fernandez out to lunch." Very smart, Drewsie. I bet he ordered goalie dude a big mac, too, just to slow him down some more. Where as Drewsie probably had a nice healthy apple. Or maybe an orange. Perhaps even a fruit salad. I bet that choice of healthful fruit will win him the pigeon. Now that's a real honor; I bet it will even go on his resume.

vanekkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk.
The wholesome father wins the game in the shootout. Vanek is like the wholesome father of the team now. I bet he says things like "back in my day..." and "you know, you shouldn't stay up so late..." and "don't forget to eat your veggies..." despite the fact that a good deal of his team mates are older and have kids of their own who are practically Vanek's age.

This message is pigeon approved.

Wow, the Sabres might actually be as weird as we imagine them to be. All I need to see is Maxy doing the macarena (Maxarena haha), a game of Glogg pong, and a few 'Gretzky for prezky' shirts and I'm sold.

But pretty much, if you haven't read the Sabres web, they have a stuffed pigeon. And they award it to the dude who played the best. Yeah, I know. And Spacey is Head Pigeon himself, what an honor.

“We’re a bunch of 25 goofballs that just love to play hockey.” Well said, Peters, well said.

Also, I forgot a couple things in my Sabres/Canuckies post:

1. At the game, these girls had one of the most amazing signs ever. "Put Lalime in the coconut." Genius.

2. The kiss cam thing was quite funny as it fell on this dude who was about to drink some beer and then he was still going to but hesitated and decided to first kiss his girlfriend/wife/whatever she is to him.

3. It was absolutely adorable when Koda tackled Van-Van in goal celebration. But Vanek looked like he was in pain when he got up. In my words "ooh, that had to hurt."

You know what?

I came to the decision that I should be the DJ at some party. Mainly because I have amazing taste in music and we'd be jamming out to Cobra Starship, McFly, Faber Drive, and other sweet bands/songs. How amazing would that be? I know, right? I'd even take requests. And play classic old stupid stuff. Like old school Backstreet Boys, Spice Girls, and N'Sync. Haha.

Also, random, I'd like to say that I don't like Katy Perry. Why? Just because. And Hot and Cold is a somewhat annoying song, but the music video is quite clever.

a-maz-za-za-zing.

I loveeeee going to games.
I loveeeeeeeeee going to games the Sabres win.
Tonight was awesome! So I thought I'd share some of my thoughts/experiences.

First off, those Canucks are disrespectful. They were /all/ fidgeting during the anthems. At least most of the Sabres weren't. And then, those sucky canuckies skated off before the American anthem ended! How dare they! Now, the Sabres, they all stood respectfully. Millsy even turned to look at each flag. But it was kinda weird how the Canucks were like all in a row and the Sabres were split up; two sabres, BIG GAP, three sabres. Is there a rift in our team? Gasp.

Secondly, some random dude high-fived me after the game. It was cool. xD Anddd, some dude was shouting "It must suck to be a Canuck." That dude's my hero. Oh and we were sitting in the 200s. Nice seats. Beside the sitting around beer vender thing.

Thirdly, the whole playlist thing is so much better at games. Especially since you have no idea what they picked and what is just being played. So for like every song I was like "I bet Royzie chose it." That included See You Again (the song of the devil) and Please Don't Stop the Music. And my brother said Royzie and Pominville are kinda gay because of the music they like. xp

The funniest thing to happen all night was probably when my brother asked me for a sip of my pop....
B: "Can I have a sip?"
A: -stares- ".... no."
B: "What? Come on."
A: ".... Fine. But you can't use the straw."
B: "What? No." -takes drink and sips- "I can't believe you."
-a few seconds later-
B: "I still can't believe you."
-Kaleta gets called for 'diving'-
A: "I can't believe that! Kaleta does not dive! Ughhh."
B: "You know, I still can't believe you.... I bet you'd let Patrick Kaleta have a sip."
A: "Yeah, I'd even let him use the straw."
B: "What?! I can't believe you!"
A: "MacArthur too."
B: "I just... I can't believe you! I'm your brother!"
.... And that was it, more or less.

It was a lot of fun; hearing stories from Billy, talking to him for once, watching the Sabres, arguing over little things. Yup. Which reminds me; I've got a list for you.

Ten things I don't like about my brother:
1. He thinks Ribbet is like, a God.
2. He hates Campbell.
3. He's in love with Booo-ry.
4. He's anti-Lydman.
5. He called me a communist because I don't like the Yankees.
6. He's trying to get me to like football.
7. He called me a communist because I don't like football.
8. He thinks my name should be Susan.
9. He doesn't hate Crosby and doesn't have proper respect for Kaner.
10. He hated Thibault and didn't believe me when I said he had like 40 shutouts.

There's so much more, but I can't think of it all at the moment. Yay Sabres for winning! We're 4-0. Game tomorrow. LET'S GO BUFFALO! (:

i'm EXCITEDDD.

Tomorrow is my birthday and Julie's probably past annoyed with my excited ranting, so I thought, "hey, why not use my blog to excitedly rant?" And so I shall.

1. My family has a tradition that the birthday girl/boy gets to choose dinner (except for last year when my parents were like, "guess what, you get pizza."). And this year my choice is spaghetti. Yum.

2. I'm getting one of those delicious Carvel ice cream cakes.

3. I'm going to the SABRES GAME with my brother! And this time I won't be too awed by seeing them live or trying to be respectful whilst sitting in a box to cheer loudly and generally make lots of noise that will eventually make my brother look at me questioningly.

4. I'm pretty sure my mom bought me loads of clothes that I don't particularly need, but will generously accept anyways. You know, don't want to make her feel like I don't appreciate her buying me gifts. It would have absolutely nothing to do with the fact that they will most likely be very cute shirts and possibly a furry hoodie of some-sort from PacSun (if I'm lucky).

5. My dad, not wanting to get me the wrong gift, has let me choose the gift I receive from him. First he offered me a cellphone with texting and all, but I decided that I could wait until Christmas for that. So it comes down to new earphones for my iPod or radio:ACTIVE, McFly's newest CD. I'm pretty sure I'll get him to order radio:ACTIVE for me and purchase my own earphones using the gift card to Target my grandparents gave me since it would be much more difficult for me to buy radio:ACTIVE myself.

6. Whilst on the subway, on the way to the game, my brother will probably tell me more stories about how he skipped school and went to Darien Lake. And on the way back, we'll walk and just miss the subway at all the stops until the very last one where we wait forever while he retells the story about how him, my older sister, and their friends once missed the subway and had to call a taxi or something of that sort.

7. Just maybe I'll get to wear the "C'est mon anniversaire!" button tomorrow.

8. My little sister made me a card. She made it with my knowledge, but every time I'd walk by she'd just about jump on top of it and yell "NO, YOU CAN'T SEE IT!" Bless.

9. My birthday happened to fall on a Friday. Which happens to be the best day for birthdays. (Looking on the sad side of things, this means my actually birthday won't fall on a school day ever again in high school. Semi-sigh.)

10. There's only 1 hour and 54 minutes until midnight!

It just was.

Tonight was a rather good night.

First and foremost, the Sabres won. Winning is always a pleasant thing- as long as it's the Sabres that won.

Second, Vanek scored TWO goals. That means he's scored 5 in 3 games, an average of 1.a-lot-of-sixes. Maybe it's a good thing to be one of my supported Sabres; they seem to be doing well (except for Maxy who's getting closer to doing well).

Third, we made the Rangers lose. Now they're 5-1.

Fourth, we ruined the Rangers perfect penalty kill whilst maintaining ours. Skillz.

Fifth, our power play and penalty kill is not completely frightening as it was in the pre-season.

Sixth, my "sucking in the pre-season means we'll do well in the regular season" is slowly becoming less ludicrous, but by saying this I'm obviously jinxing it.

Seventh, I'll be at Friday's game, and while the Sabres did win the game I went to last year, I can't guarantee anything.

Eighth, apparently I'm a Sabre now. I dunno, ask my dad about that one.

Ninth, I've come to the conclusion that my dad's presence is unlucky and shall banish him from watching games; therefore the Sabres will have no reason to lose and shall win all 82 games, setting a new record and generally becoming heroes.

Tenth, Lindy Ruff got his 400th win as coach and Vanek got his 200th point in the NHL or something of that sort.

Eleventh, I finished reading Equal Rites. It's quite good and I recommend it- though you may want to read The Color of Magic and The Light Fantastic first, since it's sort-of a series. If you read Equal Rites, you'd understand it, but it makes more sense having read the first two books. After all, Terry Pratchett isn't like Stephenie Meyers who restates everything in her books.

Nvnc id vides, nvnc ne vides.

Limey-Lime-Lime, you're my hero.

Well, obviously I didn't do game notes. Duh. But I feel like commenting on a few things.

1. VANEK.
Hahahahahaha.
That was directed towards all the Vanek haters. Vanek has three goals in two games, which averages to 1.5 goals a game. In your faces. Vanek is neither slag-faced or whorish. He is a good wholesome father who likes scoring odd goals and making a weird face.

2. Limey-Lime-Lime.
Um, hello. AMAZING GOALIE ALERT. Miller better watch out. Between the "hey, I'm a sweet-awesome goalie," and "my mask has Marvin Martian on it," welllll, you just better watch out, Ry.

3. Islander Arena.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, it's called like We Love Veterans Memorial Ice Rink Arena or something remotely similar, but Islander Arena just sounds better. First off, what's up with the really slippery ice that makes the puck go ZOOM? Second, it's disgraceful that there were large chunks of seats open. Where art thou fans? Third, what's with this whole making Miller sit in a chair in the orchestra room, by himself, all alone, and I don't know why, all by his lonesome? Cruel and unusual, much?

4. Comrie.
Wow, I didn't know I hated him so much. I really liked RJ's comment though. "It's really a good thing Tallinder turned down fighting him [Comrie]; he'd [Comrie] need a step stool to reach him." Well, it was something like that. Haha, short dude.

5. All hail Cap'n Ribbet. Well, not really.
Um, yeah. Fighting, when not standing up for a team mate, is disgraceful when you're captain. In other news, I was ranting to my dad about how I dislike the New Guy Captain thing and I happened to mention how the players voted for him and my dad suggested that perhaps no one wanted to be captain so they were like, "hey, you know what would be funny? We could vote New Guy as Captain!" "Honk, honk honk!!!" "-does cartwheels-" "Ha, what they said!"

6. MacArthur.
Okay, so he's wickedly awesome. And I have an autographed puck of his; be jealous.


THAT'S ALL, FOLKS.

Glogg Pong

Scene: after a long game, Mr. Ruff is holding a press conference....

Hank: Guys, I don't know if this is going to work...

Spacey: -in a funny accent- Oh come on, Tally. What are they going to do? Bench us next game? We're defense; we're immune to benching.

Hank: Okay, okay. But if we get caught-

Spacey: Just blame it on Max like last time.

Hank sighs and proceeds to sneak into the conference, making a huge distraction.

Spacey: You're up, Maxy.

Max: -nods due to lack of English skillz-

Max sneaks into Lindy's back pocket and grabs the get-into-anything key without anyone noticing; the perks of being a super Russian spy. The guys go on to sneak into the Bandit's locker room where Toni the Tiger and Millsy are already waiting with the glogg.

Millsy: -sigh- Can we hurry up with this? I'm missing my soaps to referee your game!

Toni: Okay, okay. I've got the glogg here, you guys set up the cups, okay?

Spacey: Ja, ja. Set up the cups, Max.

Max: -shakes head, blinks twice, claps hands together-

Spacey: WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOU FORGOT TO BUY CUPS?!

Max: -stares intently before hopping on one foot and holding up three fingers-

Spacey: Well, I know you were watching House last night, but that doesn't mean you can just forget to buy cups.

Toni: -sighs- So what are we going to do now?

Hank: Well, we can't let all this glogg go to waste, just toss it over here and-

Toni: No way you glogg-aholic. Last time we let you hold the glogg, it was gone before we could blink. And then you went and blamed it on Sabretooth....

Millsy: -muttering- Stupid defensemen....

Max: -snaps fingers, blinks three times, does the macarena-

Toni: Won't the lacrosse balls roll over?

Max: -sighs and does handstand-

Toni: Ooooh, well why didn't you say we'd use Marty's old tape?

The five spend the next few minutes cutting lacrosse balls in half and taping them to the table so that the open part is facing up. Toni proceeds to pour the glogg into the "cups," making sure Hank isn't nearby.

Millsy: Okay, so the teams will be-

Toni: Oooh, ooh! I get Hank!!

Millsy: -sigh- Toni, you always pair up with him. Tonight's teams are Max and Hank versus you and Spacey.

Toni: -pouts- Fine.

Several minutes later.

Spacey: Haha, Toni. You lose again!

Hank: We're on fire tonight, Spacey. -highfives-

Goose: -suddenly bursts in- Honk honk honk honk-honk?

Millsy: Goose, what are you doing here, dude? -smiles nervously-

Goose: Honk, honk honk honk honk-honk?!

Spacey: Well, we were going to invite you, but then... um...

Goose: .... honk?

Millsy: -glares are Spacey- Of course we like you, Goosey! It's just, you tend to honk loudly when you're drunk and we can't get caught by Lindy again.... Why don't you go home and practice your viola? I'll call you tomorrow and we can gossip about Crosby's crocs. Okay?

Goose: Honk, honk HONK!!!

Millsy: I know, yellow is totally not his color! But we'll talk about that tomorrow.

Goose: Honk. -smiles and flies away-

Hank: -sighs- That was close; I thought he was going to start pecking us again.

Awww.

So I'm reading the Sabres Section of today's Buffalo News and I was expecting a bunch of "hey, the Sabres are going to suck. I LOVE THE EVIL MIDGET. DIEEE SABRES, DIEEEE," kind of stuff. But instead I found some heartwarming stories. And by heartwarming stories, I mean stories that only Sabres fans would be interested in and normal people would go "wait, you find that heartwarming? Weirdo."

So, I look on the cover and it makes me happy. And not like that stupid song. "The few. The proud. The core." Being reminded that we have a core group locked up is a nice thing.

Then comes the article with the big "I'm mysterious" Miller picture that talks about how he gave up the chance to play for teams like Detroit to stay here in little old Buffalo with all his BFFz. Awww. He likes us, he really likes us!

Next there's perhaps my favorite article. Core Strength. The cute little team huddle is a nice shot, but Lydman's kinda in there guys; he's not in the core.... Anyways, the article talks about how they all matured together. And how Pommerdoodles needed Petey's help to pay bills and buy a cell phone because he was a lost little 19-year-old Canadian boy, Canadian boy. Then it goes on to mention how Miller and Goose are bffz and they lived together and they went traveling through Europe together. And then Super New Guy gets like one line about how he thinks he's gonna like it here. Yeah, that's what they all say.

The last article I'm talking about is the Vanek one. All I have to say is that I find it cute that he refers to mini-Vanek as "the little guy." And he took the little guy to Austria with him. By the way, Austria is not equal to Australia. One is in Europe and the other has kangaroos.

tomato SOUP.

All that Soupy talk in my last post made me wonder what my favorite non-Sabre is up to these days. So I checked the Blackhawks' site and what did I find?

No more hair/jersey clashing!

Red is really Soupy's color. Much better than strange blue and orange. This Blackhawks thing might just be good for him. I mean, he gets to be BFFz with Kaner and not clash awfully.

Wait... what?

So apparently Rivet was named Captain. And it's not like I dislike him in the slightest (only I totally do), but what the hell?! I mean really, he's been with the team for how long? Three minutes? And he's all like "Hey, I'll take number 52 just because it's soooo close to 51 that it makes Anna upset to see it." Yep, he's totally doing it to upset me. Just so I go "OMG SOUPY!!!!!1111!! Oh wait... that's 52." What can I say, I love Soup. ):

"Initially, Rivet was not keen on the idea of coming to the Sabres."
Initially, Anna was not keen on the idea of Rivet coming to the Sabres. Oh wait, she still isn't.

But really, I thought that it would go to like the lovable Pommerdoodles... or Yo-Yo. But noooo, Super New Guy (and that's super as in 'very' not super as in 'amazingly cool'). Blah. Apparently it was a team vote, though. So that means he must have bribed them all. Pommerdoodles with doggy biscuits, Goose with bread crumbs, Spacey with driving lessons (though you're welcome to hit my parents' cars, I'm all for getting your autograph) and so on.

In other news, saying Super New Guy made me think of the old New Guy (aka Steve Bernier). Which reminded me, I never got to gloat about me being right. When Soupy was traded for him (tear), I was all "wow, we totally got ripped off. We probably won't even keep Bernier and now we don't have any d. STUPID, STUPID, STUPID." And people were all convinced we would keep him. And then we didn't. So HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.

In other, other news, Webby was sent down. Boo. So who's our d now?

Well, that's it. (:

Woah.

I know you're wonder what's with the pictures and who that guy is. But it's not one guy; there's two different guys. Gasp! The first one is Matthew Ellis and the second is good old Nolan Pratt. And that was the point. Pratt and Ellis are like twins. And according to wikipedia, they both weigh 207 lbs. It's a sign; they really were twins lost at birth!

STUFF

Okay, so I've got some stuff to say.

First, ewww, the game. So I didn't actually watch it, but was informed about some stupid "Hey, your goal counted but we're not gonna count it. YAY," thing. It makes me think of the playoffs a while ago. It was against like the Rangers or Islanders, and I'm watching it at my grandparent's house with my uncle. So the Sabres score and we're all like YAYYYY. And then the refs are like FAIL, NO GOAL. And we're like, wow, that was obviously a goal. The stupid people in Toronto that decide goals are stupid and prejudice against the Sabres. I honestly thought for a while that they'd like flip a coin to decide goals. Or go "Hey, which team do you guys like better? The Rangers? Okay, no goal." Seriously, dude.


Second, I was like majorly sad when the guys got sent down on the 3rd. Seriously, I like hit something. And then I was all "oww, that hurt." But incase you're lame and don't know who was sent down, it included: Tim Kennedy, Mathieu Darche, Nathan Gerbe, Mark Mancari, Dylan Hunter, Marek Zagrapan (awww), Chris Butler, and Mike Funk. Booo.

Third, I watched Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure and it was idiotically funny. Hahaha. I suggest watching it if you haven't.

Lastly, I possibly want to go as the Sabres/hockey players for Halloween, so talk to me if you're interested. I think my cousins might be in on it already. We would go in my neighborhood and possibly see some Sabres; last year we saw Teppo & kids!

Pre-Season Game Numero CLASH IN COLUMBUS

I'm not really entirely in a game note mood, but I'll give it a try. They might suck even more than usual tonight. xp

1. Anyways, Limey's in goal! This is bound to be a good game.
2. So, I hear that the next (and final) pre-season game is gonna be on MSG! Hooray.
3. Columbus score. What's up with the Sabres lately? As said by Neale, this 'giving up the first goal' is becoming a bad habit.
4. I feel the need to mention my goal to see Wayne Gretzky as president of the USA. After all, he was really born in the US and Canada just bribed them with maple syrup and mooses to erase all documents proving that, then promptly moved his family to Canada and pretended that he was born there (they bribed the family too). That was all when he was still really little, so he wouldn't know. It's all because Canada saw the future and knew he would be amazing and the USA just didn't understand. Just goes to show you, don't get bribed by Canadians.
5. Columbus had too many men on and the ref didn't care? Or do I not understand correctly?
6. Dude, the Bluejacket's hive has a cannon in it. And they fire it off before games. And it scared RJ "out of his shorts." Hahahaha.
7. Fight, fight, fight!
8. Oh wait, it's Peters. Suckishhhh.
9. Wow, if Peters just gets five minutes now, it'll be his forty-second. Penalty minutes, that is. Guess he won't be winning the "Most Gentlemanly Player" award and I really thought he would; he was in the running for about... five minutes.
10. I just thought I should inform you I'm going to die since I forgot my Euro binder and there's a test tomorrow. And I missed whatever happened in the past... I dunno how long.
11. UGHH. That memory loss commercial.
12. Hecht scored! With assists going to Pommerdoodles and Pie YAY.
13. Umm, I kinda lost like 7 things I wrote... oops?
14. So pretty much, the second period stuff was like "hey dudes, let's actually play well for once- just to mix things up." And then the Sabs scored twice, thanks to Van-Van and Koda. Then there was a big fight that I couldn't see. And I was doing math homework, so it was hard to pay attention. Especially since I had no idea what the hell I was doing and still need help since my parents don't know how to do this stuff either. One's a proof, by the way. That shows you how much you'll need proofs later on in life.
15. I wish I could've seen the fight. Limey was in on it. See, Limey rocks; Ry-Ry wouldn't of fought.
16. Just took a look at Willful Caboose; hilarious. I recommend reading Thumb Drama. HONK HONK (that means 'violas rock' in goose).
17. Did Tempo just score? Gasp. Two of the Waterford players have scored tonight!
18. Wow, the Sabres are leading 4-1? Cherry to my pie.
19. I think the Sabs are doing well to try and cheer me up; my day turned crappy. First the whole "I hate you all" thing from Aquilina then "I forgot my Euro stuff" then "I can't do these freaking math problems."
20. Why do hockey players all-minus a few- have weird names? What's wrong with like... Jordan Smith? I hear that guys with that name are outrageously hot. But really, they're all weirdly named.
21. GERBE SCOREDDDDDD! Marry me, Gerbs? (:
22. We're up 5-1, that's nearly dance worthy. I need a Gerbey song. Hmmm. Ipoding.
23. For some reason, Kelsey by Metro Station is in the running for Gerbey's song. Ha.
24. So the songs that are in the running are: Pictures To Burn- Taylor Swift, Kelsey- Metro Station, Nine in the Afternoon- Panic at the Disco, Only the Strong Survive- McFly, You'll Make It- Faber Drive or 24 Story Love Affair- Faber Drive. What do you think?
25. Ew, the Bees scored.
26. I've decided that the Sabres official song is now Our Time Now- Plain White T's. We'll see how long that lasts. Still need help with Gerbey's song.
27. "Meeting of the minds." BEST. TERM. EVER. Gotta love RJ.
28. You know what I just noticed? There's two Nathans on the team. It seems like everyone has a name twin on the team. Well, minus the weird European players with names like Teppo or Jochen.
29. One minute left. Dun dun dunnnnn.
30. I don't wanna jinx anything, but I'm pretty sure we're gonna win. Unless they score three goals in this less-than-a-minute.
31. GERBE FIGHTING! Divorce me and marry me again?
32. Game over, we win. YAY, YAY.

BEST OF THE NIGHT:
3. Pominville. He's just good.
2. Koda. Hello, he's a big lovable bear.
1. Gerbe. Well, I married him, I'm a little biased.

BOOO:
3. Peters. Blah.
2. Commodore. His name bugs me.
1. Nash. He is just annoying.

Pre-Season Game Numero UGHH.

1. Sooo, it's another game against the Wilds. Greatttt.
2. I still have a love/hate thing going on with Niklas Bäckström, by the way. I mean, just look at his name, how can you not love him? But he plays for an evilll team.
3. Okay, if we lose this game, it's not because of me making fun of the anthem-singer-person. This dude rocks. But I am missing the Canadian anthem, aren't you?
4. "Clash in Columbus" nice ring to it, eh? Go RJ and your alliteration.
5. Hooray, Harding's in goal instead of Bäckström. That is good, right?
6. Wow, it's like Neale was answering me or something. He was just talking about how Harding's the back up. Thanks to Neale and his somewhat-useless rambling.
7. Okay, does anyone else think of Madagascar when they say "The Wilds?" No, it's just me? I guess you don't start singing "I like to move it, move it," either....
8. "That and 10 cents gets you nothing in the league." Ha. I like that saying.
9. In the past 2 minutes, I've realized that a lot of my favorite players are playing. And the Sabres got a power play. Which doesn't really give me hope since our power play kinda sorta sucks.
10. See, the whole giving it up to the other team and giving them a two-on-one chance is sorta why I think of power play sucks.
11. Nice try, Sekera-Sekera.
12. I changed my mind, having this Harding dude in goal doesn't seem like such a great thing.
13. Goal for Madagascar Wilds. I don't have high hopes for this game, by the way.
14. Wow, they announce the goal scorers freaking fast. At HSBC it takes agessss.
15. Okay, is anyone else a little annoyed by the constant memory loss commercial? I wish I could lose the memory of that commercial.
16. Yay Cake Maker for almost scoring. He's sweet like that.
17. Penalty to us. Blah.
18. Madagascar is 3/27 on the power play, which I now know thanks to Neale. But that doesn't make me feel any better because sometimes the Sabres seem to like taking naps during the game.
19. See, they scored. We suck.
20. You may be starting to think I hate the Sabres, but it's not that. I just am honest in admit when we're not doing well. So don't think I hate them.
21. Sabres on the power play again.
22. Okay, we really, REALLY, REALLY, REALLY suck right now. In other words, we're down 3-0 and the last goal was shorthanded. Can you understand why I'm afraid of power plays both way? This is like the fourth shorthand we've given and it's not even regular season yet.
23. Is it me or does RJ say Mancari wrong?
24. So wait, the Sabres took Matt Ellis to sorta make up for Goosey being out? Well, what are we gonna do with him when the Goose is honking again?
25. Well, if I hadn't said it enough, we sucked up the first period.
26. I missed like six minutes of the second period. Oops.
27. Am I imagining things or is some guy's name Puma?
28. And do all the names sound like French verbs to me just because I didn't study yet? Either that or there's really a Pouvoir on the team.
29. Pie scored. YAY. =) By the way, I've been pretty much ignoring the game.
30. Haha, it was the 20th shot for the Sabres. Ironic.
31. Penalty to Madagascar? Ehh.
32. I like how there was 25 notes for the first period, then six for the second. Haha.
33. I'm oddly cheerful for some reason, but quite tired anyways. Who has Sophomore Stories? I want to write in it sometime soon.
34. Harding is a tool. Go jump in a lake. A cold one. With sharks in it.
35. Wait, Van-Van's second penalty? Lemme give you some advice, dude. Play better or everyone will blame you again. That's the price of being payed a lot.
36. Hmm. Thinking about it, maybe Van's just not doing well because little mini-Vanek is keeping him up all night with his crying.
37. And there goes Lydman. What do we blame that on?
38. ANOTHER PENALTY?! This is prejudice or something. It's just not cool, dude. Like it would make mini-Vanek cry, that's how uncool it is.
39. So, is mini-Vanek illegitimate or not? His parents are married, but they weren't when he was born....
40. Fighting or something? Wasn't paying attention.
41. Okay, this time it really was fighting of some sort. Wish I could see it.
42. I'm totally lost with all the penalties, but there's some more and we've got some. Whatevs.
43. You know what, as long as mini-Vanek's cute, his legitimacy doesn't matter (though I think he's not). Do you think the fact his name is Blake means he's destined to be hot?
44. Aww, stupid Harding. Pie YAY could've scored again.
45. BOOOO. That dude should've gotten a penalty. He hit our precious Pie-Pie.
46. You know, once you don't really care about winning or losing, the game is so much more enjoyable.
47. Hearing all these weird last names (or imagining I am) made me think of Harryeeta Sandwich. Yeah, I'm not naming /anything/ that, Jules Vern.
48. So pretty much Madagascar is composed of Helen Burns, Harding, Nolan (not Pratt), Backstrom, Schoola, Puma, Shepard, Pouvoir, and more French-sounding stuff, yeah? Interesting.
49. BOOO, don't you hurt our Spacey.
50. So the Sabs have taken 30 shots and gotten one in? Someone go pull Harding out of the lake, take him up to a bridge and push him off. It will be much more satisfying watching him go SPLASH into the lake.
51. Koda gets a penalty? Did you not get the memo, ref? He's a big LOVABLE bear. Even RJ & Neale don't see the penalty.
52. No goal. In your faces. That comment's gonna come back to haunt me, yeah?
53. And a penalty to Madagascar? That's the cherry to my pie.
54. Wide of the net? Haha. But we still lose, so whatevs.
55. Cherry, cherry, cherry PIE.
56. Key lime PIE.
57. SEKERA-SEKERA SCORESSSSS.
58. Don't matter, we lose. But it's time to sing the Sekera song. (:
59. PIE, PIE, PIE. Cherry, key lime, apple, chocolate, blueberry, boston cream, pumpkin, lemon.
60. Why isn't there orange pie? I like oranges.

TOP THREE FAVORITE PLAYERS OF THE NIGHT:

3. Zaggie. He was doing really well.
2. Cake Maker. He's such a hardworking good player dude.
1. A tie between Pie-Pie and Sekera-Sekera. Both goal scorers of the game. Both determined sweetly amazing dudes.

BOOOOO:
3. Nolan. I kept going "OMG PRATT." Then "waitttt, not him."
2. Harding. He's a dork.
1. The Blue Jackets. Get out the bug spray, they're tomorrow's match up.


THE ENDDDD.

Delay of music.

Have you ever heard a song and loved it, so you go around and mention it to people and they're like "umm, no. Never heard it." So you deal with it. Then a few weeks-months later, everyone knows that song and they all 'love' it. And then you're like "I TOLD YOU ABOUT IT FOREVER AGO. IT'S AN OLD SONG!" Yeah, well, that annoys me. Case closed. xp

I just happened to think about it because lately the radio is obsessed with Picture To Burn by Taylor Swift, which even I knew of last year. Andddd everyone's been obsessed with Check Yes Juliet by We The Kings, which I also knew of forever ago. I heard them both on the radio within a span of 10 minutes. What's up with this? Is it because songs are being re-released or everyone's just really slow?

Even if it is because they're being re-released, I guess most people just are music failures and don't know many songs except what they play on the radio- which is probably 80% crap, if you're listening to Kiss anyways. z101 is slightly cooler because they play Hedley. And 99.9 is good to hear a mix of recent and older songs, plus there's good bands that only Canadian stations tend to play like Faber Drive and State of Shock.

Well, that's enough of me ranting about music. Go Sabres! I think I'll be doing game notes tonight, maybe I'll even post them as the game goes so you can read them while it's happening if you have nothing better to do. Gasp.

Oh and one last thing, I may be putting up a list of Sabre nicknames (or maybe hockey player nicknames in general) due to a suggestion to do so, and just because it'd be easier for me, not having to explain nicknames. S'all for now.

Why's ya bummed out Danny? Err, not Danny.

Because of my speeding offenses. But it's only a car, innit?

So anyways, I'm bummed out 'cause of some of the Sabres being send down. It's pretty depressing, eh?
Say farewell to:

Tyler Bouck- no idea who he is, but apparently he's pending waivers. Cool name dude, hope you stick around.

Jimmy Bonneau- same as the above dude.

Colton Fretter- Colton Fretter is an amazing name. Even better than the above mention, and he's not on waivers.

Marc-Andre Gragnani- LUCKY SEVENTEEN. He's my hero. I'll miss him.

Derek Whitmore- Dunno who that is.

Felix Schutz- Aww. He was a German dude, yeah?

Colin Murphy- Yeah, whatever.

Mike Card- Card is sweet. He's the Mike with good hair, yeah?

Mike Kostka- who?

Adam Dennis- who cares?

Tyler Meyers- aww, that dude's cool.

andddd Jhonas Enroth- I'm sad about saying good bye to Frosty the Goalieman. ):

Oh and Philip Gogulla was sent to Germany or whatever. I'm sure Hecht is mourning over the loss of his BFF.

So pretty much, all these guys are going to Portland (except Google is heading to Germany), so we won't see them unless the real Sabres are hurt. Which is actually really likely.

Whilst we're saying all the bad news, Paul Gaustad injured his thumb last game and won't be playing for a few weeks. I know, it seems a bit lame. Do geese even have thumbs? Maybe he broke a feather.

How about some good news?
Cake Maker was featured in an article in today's newspaper and has a shot at being a real Sabre!
Zaggie hasn't been sent down yet!
Coca Cola is a sponsor of the Sabres or something!
There's like a ton of Tylers and Mikes that are Sabres!
Felix really is German and is probably BFFZ with Hecht and Google too!
Anna




learned




that spacing





things out



makes it look


like you have





more.
And... uh... my birthday's soon.

Well, that's all.

Just Because

I just wanted to rant a little about how annoying school is.

1. Homework.
Okay, so it's supposed to help you learn stuff and all that junk they tell you. That's great and all, but do we really need 501 questions a night plus 5 novels to read plus 18 and 3/4 projects to complete on a nightly basis? I didn't think so.

2. Detention.
It's a joke these days. You came to class late= detention. You didn't do the homework= detention. You didn't complete the homework= detention. You disrespected the teacher/a classmate/any living thing/a pencil= detention. You breathed too loudly= detention.

3. Teachers.
Before you think I'm anti-teachers, I'm not. I'm just anti-teachers that go "oh, I know what it's like to have been in school and have tons of homework. I know you have other classes to worry about," and then give you massive amounts of work anyway. Either they want you to suffer as much as they did, or they really don't have a clue what they're talking about. Hypocrites.

4. Grades.
The whole grading system is annoying. Especially in English. It's not fair to be graded on your creative abilities, now is it? That's not something you can memorize. Yet, we are all the time. What's the point anyway?

5. Tests/quizzes.
I get the point of tests and quizzes. Really, I do. But is it necessary to have so many tests and quizzes that you don't even remember when you have them? Honestly, I think once teachers start giving more than one test or quiz a week, they're going overboard. Unless, there's a systematic order with it. Like Euro is cool. We have a unit test, then a quiz on the next unit the next day. Perfect sense.

6. Help.
There are some teachers that are willing to help you and all that, whether you were absent and need work that you missed or you don't understand something. And then there are those teachers who give you an evil glare and tell you to go sit down and either wait until the end of class or a free period/go look in some folder you were supposed to know about but didn't/ask someone else. Come on, teachers are supposed to be nice and helpful, right? I understand they get frustrated too, but no need to be mean.

Got any more? Feel free to comment/send me them. x3

Pre-Season Game Numero EHHH.

And that's not "I'm a Canadian" ehhhh. That's "I'm annoyed/tired/unhappy/depressed/bored/ehhhh" ehhh.

But anyways, shoot outs are gross. So nerve wracking and anti-cool. Anti-Anna, really. I swear. But the point is, I don't like shoot outs, so they should go die. (:

In other news, Limey is a sweet dude. And I'm upset with Backstrom because I like him, but I want to hate him. It's annoying. Like when Kaner plays in Buffalo, you want him to do well, but lose. It's like, "I like you, but I have to boo you because you're an anti-Sabre."

Have you noticed that I like saying anti? Anti-Cullens, anti-cool, anti-Anna, anti-Sabre. I rule.

So far, the shootout is 1-1. Dramatic.
Uh-oh, this is the possible game winner for the Wilds. Gasp.
It wasn't. Dun-dun-dunnn.
Kennedy? I have his autograph!
But he failed too. ):
Wilds scored, uck, they win.
We suck.
Boo; and not in the "I'm a cool ghost" way.
What kind of team name is Wilds, anyway? xp
Shoot outs are gross.

Pre-Season Game Numero YESSSS.

'Kay, so I know I'm not doing game notes. But, THE SABRES JUST TIED UP THE GAME WITH 5 SECONDS REMAINING. That's pretty sweet and note deserving, now isn't it? So pretty much, they're going to overtime and I'm semi-worried. I've already justified them losing, though. I mean, last year the Sabres won like all of the pre-season games and were amazing in them, and then sucked most of the regular season. So maybe if they suck during the pre-season, they'll get it out of their systems and be amazing during the regular season.... Hey, I'm not expecting them to win the Stanley Cup this year or anything, I just want them to do well.

KODA SCORES AND WINS THIS IN OOOOOVERTIME. (:
Don't you love Koda? Ever since I watched Brother Bear with Tess, I think of him as a big lovable bear.

Anyways, that's it for me. Yay Sabres. Yay Koda. Boo me for being for not thinking they could pull through and not listening to most of the game.

Twilight- because I'm that cool.

So as you may or may not know, I'm like obsessed with Twilight series. It comes right after McFly and the Sabres, which are currently tied (that may change since hockey season's starting!). Anyways, I wrote a little story about what should have happened, totally making fun of the book. Being the kind and generous person I am, I thought I'd share it- haha. Enjoy, and remember I really did like the book overall!

Edward was all sparkly and stuff and was totally distracting Bella with the rainbow-sparklyness and super marble-statue handsomeness. And then James came and ate her, which caused Edward to explode. The whole world cheered and James was declared a hero. So Jacob threw a huge party and everyone was invited except Mike because he's an idiot. And then Quil totally imprinted on a baby, like omg. So he was shunned by everyone and kicked out of the party. He promptly got ran over by a bus and then Paul ate the bus. Which made Jared mad because he wanted some too. But Alice told him another bus was coming, only Jared got hit by it. Which made Kim cry and then Jasper accidentally ate her 'cause he was hungry. Then Alice totally dumped him so he ran away and was never seen again. And Jazzy-Jazz-Jazz is such an important person, that without him the world imploded. The end.

And I've got some bonus material for you, making fun of specific scenes. Breaking Dawn warning.

"Don't go Bella."
"But I hate walking in on you and my new step daddy making out. He's like five years older than me- it's gross!"
"Oh, well, okay then. Tell Charlie hi, even though he really should hate me for breaking his heart and divorcing him!"
"Okay, love you mom."

"You nicknamed my daughter after the Loch Ness Monster?"
"Well, at least it's better than Renesmee. I mean really, did you think you were being creative? Next time, let your leech name the kid, Bells."

The reason why so many guys like Bella....
"Hey, Mike,"
"Yeah Tyler?"
"Eric and I heard from Jessica that the new Bella girl won't go out with /any/ guy."
"Oh really?"
"Yeah, Mike. Tyler's telling the truth."
"So you don't think she'd even go out with me?"
"No way, Mike. If she'd go out with anyone, it'd be me."
"In your dreams, Eric."
"How about a bet then? Whichever of us gets Bella to go out on a real date- just the two of them and she has to know it's a date- wins $50 from each of the two losers."
"You're on, Mike."
"Yeah, but add to the rules that she has to willingly kiss you."
"Okay, you're on, Eric."
"Deal."

Post-Breaking Dawn...
"OH MY GOD, MOM. I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU KISSED JACOB!"
"Who told you about that, Nessie?!"
"Wait, you really did? I was just joking...."
"Oh..."
"OH MY GOD, HOW COULD YOU KISS MY IMPRINT? THAT'S DISGUSTING! I'M KISSING A GUY MY MOM KISSED!"
And that was the end of Jacob and Nessie....

"So, if Ness and Jake have a kid, what would it be? One-fourth vampire, one-forth wolf, and one-half human? Wow, I'm glad I imprinted on a human."
"Yeah, a three-year-old."
"HEY, SHE'LL BE FOUR IN AUGUST!"

Pre-Season Game Numero LAME.

Okay, so I didn't do game notes, nor did I plan on it. I was too busy selling pies to the Sabres wives, ha. Anyways, so I listened to the game and they dropped the puck in the last however many seconds, when the Sabres weren't ready? What the hell is that? Just because this is some big ceremony for the Habs doesn't mean you can cheat. Loser refs, I bet they're Canadian.

Pre-Season Game Numero Uno. YAY.

Sabres vs. the Make-Beliefs. -9/22

1. HOORAY, THE SEASON IS FINALLY STARTING- SORT-OF!
2. Wow. Penalty to the guy with the impossible long name. What was that, five seconds in? Ha.
3. Staffy rocks with his immediate start.
4. ZAGGIE SCORES! And Sir. Cake Maker* got the assist, I think.
5. 'Nother penalty to the Leafies. In your faces.
6. Ouch, penalty to us. Blah, whatever.
7. I love how there's not really anything for Neale to say 'cause the season hasn't really started. It's completely "last year, blah, blah, blah...." Ha.
8. Miller robbed a guy, apparently. Apparently it's okay to steal, as long as you're a goalie.
9. I don't like this having to listen to the radio. I miss seeing the game.
10. Haha, no goal dude. Millsy pwns you.
11. "Miller's a little slow to get up. I don't know if he got hit in the midsection..." Um, no comment....
12. Shang? Isn't that like the dude from Mulan? Guess he plays hockey when he's not fighting Huns.
13. Perry's. Mmmmm.
14. "As we get older, it's normal to forget things." Why did I find this hilarious? Just because the girl sounds happy about memory loss?
15. Dude, they didn't take the commercial brake? And they scored? I bet it was during the memory loss commercial. Stupid Canadians.
16. SHAKE, SHAKE, SHAKE, SHAKE, I SHAKE IT. Somehow the background music doesn't fit with two somewhat old guys talking about hitting a moose.
17. Finger? Since when is that a name?
18. 'Dinky' penalty to Koda. And a cheesy joke from Neale. "I think he hit Finger in the finger."
19. Okay, so why would I want to buy the DVD of the Winter Classic? We lost. xp
20. Ooh, a fight? A lame little thing, but still.
21. Oops. Missed a bit of the game. Nothing major happening, right?
22. Someone swam to make the save? What, did the ice melt?
23. Go Sir. Cake Maker, being in the right places even if you don't get a goal.
24. I really wanna see how our defense is doing. So far, we haven't been in our own end much. That's good.
25. Every time I hear something about Sekera, I start singing 'Sekera-Sekera'.
26. Goal, ouch. Our D looks pretty weak. Then again, they're all (except Tally and Spacey) like under the age of 15, right?
27. Oooooh. A fight! GO KALETA!
28. Peters is thrown out? Ha.
29. Neale is pretty funny sometimes. "Well, we know he wasn't going over to ask Lindy how his summer was."
30. I think the refs are really stressed or something; they're overreacting a bit. Upset about their summer vaca being over?
31. End of period one, Leafies leading. Yuck.
32. "A tree falls in a forest, what kind of tree is it?" Wow, that commercial made me laugh like crazy for some reason.
33. Replay of the fight? What's the point if we can't see it? xp 34. Wow, Mairsy's voice is a lot deeper than I'd thought it was.
35. Julie is annoying. And I intentionally made sure I used this number. xp 36. It makes me laugh when RJ says "youngster."
37. Ouch. Goal. We suck.
38. Do you think this is karma for me saying the dude singing the anthems was bad? xp
39. Penalty to Leafies? Huzzah. 40. Ouch. Didn't make the goal. 41. I'm having trouble focusing on the game. Yawn.
42. 'Nother Power Play to us. Good... I hope.
43. Enroth is getting in goal. Yay.
44. Okay, why does RJ keep saying "Mancari" wrong? Or does everyone else say it wrong?
45. I've come to the conclusion that the game is over. We're down by three. But I don't blame Frosty*, I bet he wasn't expecting the shot.
46. How come Rob Ray advertises so much stuff?
47. Aww, good try Sekera-Sekera.
48. I think I'm having Pommerdoodle withdrawal. I miss him. But having Zaggie, Sir. Cake Maker, and other cool 'rookies' is sweet to the max.
49. I'm the biggest Zaggie fan in the world. -totally just remembered that from last year-
50. Wow, I just missed a lot. I was listening, but not paying attention.
51. Second period over. 4-1, Leafs. Definitely karma for being mean to the singer dude.
52. Yay. Sabres goal. Google*** scored, set up by Sir. Cake Maker and Zaggie. (:
53. "At least he tried to bleed." Ha, I always found the bleeding rule of high sticking is a bit stupid.
54. Sekera-Sekera got thrown in the box. Ew. That's mean since apparently the dude stepped on his stick.
55. Uck, another goal. Poor Frosty, he's melting.
56. Some stuff happened. Yeah, I wasn't paying attention....
57. Apparently Sabretooth is already in that Montreal-ish place that the Sabres are playing in tomorrow. Just thought you'd be dying to know his whereabouts.
58. Zaggie lost his stick and was yelling at someone or something? I think my radio's too quiet; I'm having trouble hearing over the clacking keyboard noise.
59. Yay, Mancari scored. =) I swear, I think I saw him at my church one time....
60. Zaggie got an assist off that goal, he's on fire dudeeee. Oh and Spacey got an assist too.
61. Now the Leafs got a penalty, I think?
62. Stupid Leafs goal. Poor Frosty.
63. Hecht scores. Yay. Go Germans.
64. So now the score is 6-4, in favor of the Leafies. Hmmm. What's the chance of the Sabres miraculously pulling through?
65. Not much.
66. Wide open net goal. Doesn't really affect me, I knew the game was over for us.
67. Well, we lost. But I'm really happy about Zaggie playing so well. Sir. Cake Maker too.

* Sir. Cake Maker is Clarke MacArthur; the nickname derives from Sara calling him Sir. MacArthur and Tessa thinking my signed MacArthur puck said Cake Maker.
** Frosty is our new back-up, back-up goalie, Jhonas Enroth. Enroth=Froth=Frothy=Frosty. That's how my mind works, anyways. Ha.
*** Googley is Philip Gogulla. I heart his name. And he's a German, so him and Hecht must be BFFZ.

What I found cleaning out my backpack

Besides the junk, old post-it notes, a box of stale wheat thins, my planner, bio book, and food wrappers, I found a certain list I wrote.

Evil plans for team WEY:
1. Anchors (only to Mario + Luigi)
2. Stealing pears (sort-of lame, though)
3. "tuning" the violin (or should I say viola?)
4. Something with water balloons or tomatoes.
5. Messing up Mr. Frenchie Imposter's hair- a lot.
6. KICKING THEIR BUTTS AT GLOBALS!!!
7. Leaving Scott with them.
8. Saying random weird stuff to them ("I see dead people").
9. Doing that ghost thing ("If anyone's there, knock twice.")
10. Say we hear knocking and claim their room is haunted.
11. Make a long + complicated story up about the ghost.
12. Leave a walkie talkie and proceed to "haunt" room.
13. Three words; in my pants. (aka play that) ((corrupt them))
14. Pretend we don't speak English when they know we do.
15. Speak with a strange accent and claim all people from Buffalo do.
16. Insult them kindly! ("I hate when people wear yellow- oh but it looks nice on you!")
17. Oreos and toothpaste?
18. Cookies + cream cheese- creep them out.
19. Throw bananas at them- it worked for Harry.
20. Get David Wagner to stalk them.
21. Show them a pic of Madame.
22. Tell them Scott is really from Mars, but they don't have to worry because he doesn't eat brains as much as he used to.
23. Show off our amazing Clarence Orchestra pencils. Jealous much?
24. Talk non-stop hockey.
25. Pretend to love a sport called Lafootkey and convince them it's real.
26. Pretend you have an imaginary pet and talk to it all the time (Blinky).
27. Sing. Loud. Badly.
28. Wear all your clothes backwards and claim it's a fashion statement.
29. Have someone get them sick.
30. Spit excessively. (hockey player style!)
31. Disagree with everything they say- especially when they're right!
32. Tell the same, boring, stories over and over.
33. Laugh obnoxiously, even when thinks aren't funny.
34. We have the Sabres- in their faces!
35. Hats + freezers = fun.
36. "Accidentally" spill things on them.
37. Talk in a secret code/language.
38. When they ask questions, answer it "Morrey style" ("Oh, you know.")

When Summer Fades To Fall

Ah, summer. It's a wonderful thing to be off from school; too bad it has to end. With September quickly approaching, it's just about time to say goodbye to this beloved time of year. So I thought, why not share my summer in list form? Lists are my thing, dude.

1. Florida is hotter than people say it is.

2. I don't tolerate warm weather well.

3. Lizards are cooler than you'd think.

4. Komodo Dragons are so not worth the walking to see in Animal Kingdom. They're just really big lizards sitting there doing nothing. The tigers were worth it, though.

5. Disney is huge. Walking sucks.

6. Cheap hotels are cheap. You'd think being 15 minutes from Disney they'd give you the Disney channel. Losers.

7. When you grow up in a family where they let the kids run around doing whatever and no adult pays attention, it's cool until you're the teenager who is, for some strange reason, supposed to now watch and take care of said little kids. Then it totally sucks.

8. Not many people could survive attending a Persons' family party, let alone being part of the Persons family. It's an art that takes years of practice.

9. It's really strange when your relatives come up to you and start talking, then after they walk away you're wondering who they were.

10. Aunt Toni is unforgettable. We still cringe away when we see her, remembering when she used to kiss our cheeks. Ughhhh.

11. Seeing your grandfather drunk is really weird. Hearing your mom and uncle discussing it the next day, even weirder.

12. Airplanes are ear-killers, but worth it when you're pretty much completely certain Adam Mair was on your flight.

13. Food from the airport is awful. It doesn't matter if you're only getting a bagel with cream cheese and orange juice; still awful.

14. Parents don't understand that it's absolutely necessary to not only get something from Disney, but buy just about everything cool from Ron Jon's Surf shop. That includes a new skateboard (or four), a surfboard (who cares if I won't use it?), some shell necklaces, guys hoodies (come on, they were Quicksilver), amazing Hurley shirts, and just about everything else in the store.

15. You should be careful picking up shells; they might still have a crab inside.

16. It's completely unnecessary to have a hot tub in Florida.

17. Cockroaches are disgusting.

18. When parents make lame excuses, they expect you to go along with them and not point out the flaws.

19. When you point out the flaws in their lame excuse, they'll start saying something about how when you're older you can go do/get/see whatever it is.

20. If you plan on pretending to throw darts at characters from a book, wait for the series to be finished or you might regret it later.

21. Euro homework doesn't magically disappear, no matter how much you want it too.

22. Got Plague?

23. Midnight book parties are more fun when you actually participate in stuff instead of standing outside the building for an hour.

24. It sucks to read a book where the main character has your name and their life sucks. Especially when said character's adorable son named Tom dies.

25. Cullen Jones is just about the most freaking awesome name ever.

26. Thomas Cedward Jasper Wolfe is probably the most freaking awesome name ever, but it'd be cooler to have three kids and name them Thomas, Cedward, and Jasper.

27. It's not sad when you've listened to songs long enough to know all the lyrics, which band member sings them, and the instrumental bits. You just have a good memory.

28. Being a vegetarian or vegan is a good goal but really hard to complete when your dinner is "shut up and eat it."

29. Winnie the Pooh is messed up. Some characters have names (Eeyore, Winnie) and some are just called what animal they are (Rabbit, Owl).

30. When Disney has character peoples walking around the parks, they don't keep proper scale of character size. Not to mention Pluto shouldn't be standing on two legs.

31. Koreans are really good at archery.

32. You can learn important skills on TV. I'm practically qualified to fix screwed up dogs and kids now.

33. 99.99999% of the time when dogs or kids are screwed up, it's the parent/owner's fault.

34. It's easy to say you'll go running all summer, it's harder to keep it up.

35. Gilmore Girls is just about the most amazing show ever.

36. Oy with the poodles already is not only incredibly catchy, but really fun to say.

37. Kids these days have no imagination and are pretty much being set up to be idiots, spoiled brats, and, well, other bad stuff.

38. Those stupid reading pens that read for you don't help kids to learn. They're awful and should die. And the commercials are so... infuriating. It's like "hey, would you rather look at this book about your favorite TV shows and movies or this one about some boring subject?" NOT FAIR STUPID PEOPLE. There's so many good books out there kids could actually read and learn from.

39. People should read more for fun. Maybe they'd be smarter.

40. Laughing when you learned McFly turned the Jonas Brothers down when they asked McFly to write them a song is totally acceptable. As well as being relieved they did turn them down.

41. Miley Cyrus and/or Hannah Montana is not a good role model. She acts like a brat in her TV show, her songs are rubbish, and since when is having multiple personalities a good thing?

42. The guy on Cash Cab is quite similar to Shaw. It's nice to know he has a fallback if attempting to teach high school students to play instruments doesn't work out.

43. Adults generally do not understand that you need at least a week of doing nothing in the summer. It's called "relaxing."

44. Nor do parents understand sleeping in is perfectly acceptable.

45. TV shows are utter crap these days. What happened to things like Boy Meets World? Funny, teaching morals, all that good stuff. Nooo, now they just have shows with spoiled bratty girls as the main characters.

46. Sarcasm isn't just a skill; it's an art. Practically a language.

47. If you talk about something enough, you might get other people to like it. Or hate you.

48. Downloading music in a not-so-legal way is completely acceptable when that music has been released for free and the only reason you couldn't get it is because it was given away free in another country. It's totally not fair, too.

49. Teenagers generally have no taste in music and just go with what's mainstream.

50. It's sad when you can apply Murdered in the Mosh to way too many people you know. And ironic since they don't even know what I'm talking about.

51. There's a difference between knowing mainstream songs and liking them.

52. Artists who don't write their own songs are kinda pathetic.

53. Artists who don't play their own instruments, a little more pathetic.

54. Once you know the hidden meaning behind "cheese twists" you'll never be able to hear that phrase without laughing.

55. When people ask you why you like Jasper, you have to remember you can't punch them in the face and instead have to say something witty like "Why don't you like Jasper?"

56. Quil and Claire are absolutely adorable, if you think about it.

57. Bella is an awful character. Edward is just as awful. Perfection is so overrated.

58. F.P. is obviously pronounced differently by Canadians.

59. Going up the down escalator is extremely good exercise.

60. Having older siblings can ruin everything; you're expected to be the good one that doesn't dye your hair, get a tattoo, have piercings, or just plain misbehave in any way parents could find misbehaving.

61. Being obsessively green seems fun but slightly scary.

62. People should be put in jail if they don't recycle.

63. It sucks when wheat thins get stale. They're all not crunchy.

64. Ranting is really, really easy.

65. Seeing old pictures of yourself is almost cringe-worthy.

66. Seeing an old picture of yourself wearing a Spice Girls shirt is cringe-worthy.

67. Accidentally slapping someone when you're on a rollercoaster is hilarious.

68. Wearing a vintage dress is annoying. It gets really itchy and painful after a few hours.

69. You'd never guess who the real Harry Potter is.

70. "Fat giggles" is now a term that must be used in regular conversation daily.

71. McFly's new songs are amazing and Tom is reallyyyyyyy fit.

72. Simon Amstell is awesome, as well as hilarious. "Are you doing the press lady?"

73. The Twilight series was horribly written but quite addictive.

74. Jared is a character from Twilight... hahahahaha.

Okay, I'll stop there before I have over 100.

Sabres vs Canadiens Game Notes;; 2/29

1. I know this has absolutely nothing to do with the game, but who really cares? Anyways, poor Soupy's hair clashes with his new jersey. Sigh.

2. Okay, I know you're totally jealous. I think I might-have-probably-did see Henrik Tallinder and kids outside his house today. Two little adorable children and a guy shoveling snow off his driveway. And as my bus went by, he stopped to look at it with his classic Tallinder smirk.

3. They're benching Sir MacArthur?! I might just cry.

4. I don't like Paetsch haircut. Grow it out, dude.

5. Carey Price looks like he's fifteen.... Even Patrick Kane looks older!

6. What's the difference between linesmen and refs? I've never understood.

7. Oh great, the Canadiens are #1 on the powerplay.

8. GO MILLER! He just robbed that dude blind.

9. But they score anyways. Ew.

10. Sabres, are you sleeping? Please wake up.

11. Piña Kaleta pounds that guy! I think Mairsy helped too.

12. Pie is very speedy.

13. Nice giveaway, Lydman. Annoying. But Labatt Pond Hockey commercial revives my spirits.

14. There's Afinogenov! I can tell by his unpredictable skating!

15. What the freak was that? We're the Canadiens feeding you poisoned apples before the game, or something? It feels like an ironic twist to Snow White. Sabres and the seven dwarfs? Snow White and the Seven Sabres? Oh, I got it. Sabretooth and the Seven Sabres.

16. Good Goose. Protecting little Piña Kaleta. I bet he treats Piña Kaleta like one of his little goslings.

17. This commercial annoys me. You're not the “Wizard of Za”, weirdo.

18. We're just getting shut down, aren't we? Lazy slackers.

19. Shoving Royzie? Excuse me? Jerk-faced-loser. I'm sure Kaleta will take care of him. What I wouldn't give to hear the words Piña Kaleta exchanged....

20. First period sucked. The only Sabres I can stand at the moment would be Miller and... um... Sabretooth. Everyone else is either poisoned by the apples the Canadiens somehow gave them before the game or just plain a lazy slacker. Now excuse me while I try to forget those 20 minutes ever happened....

21. OMG KOOLAID MAN! Uh, don't ask.... I miss Sweet Home.

22. Captain talk. Ooooh. TV as captain, Robey? I like that idea.

22b. I get to watch roughly 15 minutes more and then I have to go. I'm actually not that depressed.

24. LaPierre? Can you get any more French? I'm disgusted.

25. Vanek has helmet hair. Haha.

26. Maybe a powerplay is just what we need...

27. Guess so. GO VANEK!

28. Penalty to Goose? Ew.

29. Now I have to go. Ew. I hope we win.
