oooooooh st. johns week.... longest journal entry ever
wow i seriously need to update!
ok wednesday night was the 1st of two st. johns vs. bingo games... i did the 50/50 thing and it was really weird, i couldnt put my finger on it but i was so uncomfortable. i think maybe it was because i was drunk @ like 3 and then i decided to work? anda said we should buy tickets for the game on friday instead of doing 50/50 so i finally caved in and we bought tixs. we snuck out of the room in the 2nd period and one of our usher friends put us in a seat (oh the many hook-ups we have)
anyway this new usher friend was nice but he started being creepy by saying "well natalie... if me and you got married we could do this and blah blah blah..." dude you are 50 years old, i cant handle that.. its disgusting. we had some pretty good seats section 126 or something.... but anda left to catch her GO train and i was by myself. so lonely. :(
after the game I had to find Danielle and I could see her but she couldnt see me and my directions a la cell phone are extremely suspect, to say the least. we made our way over to the autograph signing just to see who it was cuz she wanted whites autograph. well it turned out to be perrott, wellwood, moro and colaiacovo. they signed this cute little team photo thing i asked colaiacovo if he could just sign one of the cards i brought instead and he did so now im happy... rookie cards lose value when they are signed but im never going to sell it so i dont really care. before i left i was like "cya tmw!" and he just gave me this "wtf are u talking about" look because they had the day off... and then i was like "easter seals!!!" so it all made sense and then we left there.
i told danielle about the gate 2 thing, due to my flashbacks of world cup of hockey stalking. she had hopes of meeting ian white again, and i didnt really care who came out because i like everyone... so we were just shooting the shit and then i noticed someone behind danielle and i go to her really calmly "danielle... turn around" and she was so scared because she thought someone was going to stab her, but it turned out ian white was just standing there behind her doing absolutely nothing. she was so excited so we asked him if we could take his picture... i took the pic and it was so cute. she talked to him for a little while about how she stuck up for him when the ppl next to her called him short and said he isnt a good defenseman... *side note* never EVER tell danielle that ian white is a bad defenseman.
trust me.
thursday: i dont remember going to that school place... we told coonsy that philosophy was not an option due to charity work and he didnt care because... well he just doesnt care about a lot of things. lol
once we got there we saw andrew and he was really happy to see us too. anda & i go to work at the sickest game ever. the thing times you and u just shoot out all the targets. after much practice and assistance from some old guy, i am such a pro. this cute acc guy kept on coming over to visit us and when anda left he even helped me out a bit when it got busy. he bought me hot chocolate and that makes me happy too.
ok i dont know if this is true... but andrew got to skate on the ice with matt stajan... and he told me that he told him that zoriana and i wanted to date matt (he even told him we were the girls from rennie park... ahhhh so embarrassing) but apparently he blushed and im going to kill andrew because i dont want hockey players thinking im creepy.
and even though this was so sweet, it was even more embarrassing when andrew got carlo to sign a poster that said "To Natalie, with all my love, Carlo Colaiacovo" i was happy with that... but then he FRIGGIN BRINGS CARLO OVER TO ME!!! I had like 8 million kids shooting pucks at my head and im trying not to be rude to everyone, but andrew was like "this is natalie, your #1 fan" and we just made small talk... i hope he didnt recognize me from the thousands of other times i have bothered him.
it was a great night... and if i improve my skating... maybe i can play hockey at york or ryerson next year? (hahahaha yeah right, in my dreams)
so.... last night.... oh man this journal is getting long. i cant handle all of this typing.
we met taras at around 4 and we went over the european vs. canadian thing again.... why must they always gang up on me? i will always win that argument though because canada. always. wins.
we did the 50/50 thing out of guilt for the first hour or so but we're so stupid because we never once used our tickets. andie told us to not bother even going up to our real seats. she is so my favourite out of all of those ppl. we were at the platinum level and i asked this lady if we could take pictures at the glass and shes like "well, we'd prefer it if you just took them from the seats" well... we interpreted that as "steal someone elses seat and stay there the rest of the night" lol why do we always have such good luck with this stuff?? so yeah... 3rd row... next to the st. johns bench... during the warm up all the players look at the stands all dazed and confused... its cute. but oh man oh man what a fucking game. mcdonald and mcgratton started exchanging "pleasantries" during the warm up and you just knew it was a sign of things to come. there we so many good chances, so much hard hits, awesome goals (fucking sweet goal by colaiacovo to open up the scoring) and then the HUGE BRAWL!!! ive been to a lot of nhl games and honestly i have never seen the crowd as hyped up as they were friday night. wow i cant even describe how much fun i had. seriously the ahl is the best cure for what ails you. cheap ticket prices, even more quality hockey... thats what its all about.
yeah... pictures... to further extend the length of this journal entry lol.
so here we are... lol zoriana took that pic.. awesome seats eh?
what started as this.......
lead to this......
and this:
hahahahahahaha
so yeah theres more pictures but this journal is getting ridiculously long and ive had a tiring day at wal mart... lol i hate wal mart. thats all i really did today was work and i went to church for the first time in forever. i feel so guilty for going to church only near christmas time.... i still dont understand why there is saturday church, im not complaining because i would have to get up early on sunday to go as a little kid and i didnt like that too much lol
ok i need to stop this journal writing madness.
as the french would say.... "c'est le but!!" (hahaha its the goal?)
