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. (:
