This past Monday's Kyle XY

A WARNING IF YOU STILL HAVEN'T SEEN IT, DON'T READ THIS. IT GIVES AWAY THE VERY END.

Monday, March 16th, 2009.

Today, I finally got to watch Monday's Kyle XY. The last, very last, Kyle XY. Let me begin with, I HATE THAT THE SHOW ENDED!!!!! WHYYY?!?!?! I LOVED THAT SHOW SO MUCH!!! WHY DID THEY HAVE TO CANCEL IT? MY LIFE IS NOW OVER!!!!

That was seriously the cutest show ever! Well, it was extremely cute when Kyle and Amanda dated. Kyle is the cutest thing ever!

Ughhhhhhhh, I seriously hate ABCFamily for canceling it. What am I supposed to watch now at 9 on Monday nights?

Oh yeah, I hated the last episode. HOW CAN YOU END IT WITH CASSIDY TELLING KYLE THAT HE WAS HIS BROTHER?!?!?! HOW CAN YOU LEAVE IT AT THAT?!?!?!?! THAT'S NOT A GOOD ENDING!!! AND AMANDA WANTED TO GET BACK WITH KYLE!!!

That's all I wanted to say. I so frustrated with that channel!

I will have so more blogs tomorrow night. One about my first NHL game. I have tons of pictures from the game. And about my high school's boy basketball game that took place friday.

Happy St. Urho Day!

It's a Finnish holiday (well more Finnish-American) and since I'm part Finnish, I wanted to tell you about it.

Saint Urho Welcomes You!



St. Urho is said to have chased the grasshoppers out of Finland, thus saving the grape crop.


The legend of St. Urho originated in Northern Minnesota in the 1950s. However, there are differing opinions as to whether it began with the fables created by Sulo Havumaki of Bemidji, or the tongue-in-cheek tales told by Richard Mattson of Virginia. Either way, the legend has grown among North Americans of Finnish descent to the point where St. Urho is known and celebrated across the United States and Canada, and even in Finland.

St. Urho's Day is celebrated on March 16th, the day prior to the better known feast of some minor saint from Ireland, who was alleged to have driven the snakes from that island.

The legend of St. Urho says chased the grasshoppers out of ancient Finland, thus saving the grape crop and the jobs of Finnish vineyard workers. He did this by uttering the phrase: "Heinäsirkka, heinäsirkka, mene täältä hiiteen" (roughly translated: "Grasshopper, grasshopper, go to Hell!"). His feast is celebrated by wearing the colors Royal Purple and Nile Green. St. Urho is nearly always represented with grapes and grasshoppers as part of the picture.

We hope you enjoy our effort to honor this mythical Finnish-American hero. Please feel free to share your St. Urho experiences and celebrations by clicking on the phrase below and sending a note to the webmaster.

I know you girls don't watch hockey. But I just love this commerical.

Sick and Tired

Boy, am I tired of waiting for the right guy to come around. Right now it seems like he's never, ever gonna get here. I know, I'm only eighteen. I'm young. I haven't waited that long, but damn, is this boy ever gonna get here?

I started liking this guy. When I first started talking to him, he seemed wicked chill. And I love when guys are chill. At first we started talking online. It was great. Then he met me in person. And I think that's where it went wrong. He took one look at me and said "nope, I deffinately do not want to be friends with her." I haven't talked to him for a few weeks now. And he probably won't talk to me again.

So tonight I was thinking, forget him. I don't need him. I've been doing a damn good job just having me in my life. I mean, I can't leave myself. Now I have to walk around seeing him and thinking to myself "damn, I was so close. I was so close to at least having a new friend." But then why in the hell would a good looking guy want to be friends with me? And even think about dating me. God, I have been so dumb to think that a guy would ever be into me.

I'm just gonna be one of those old ladies with 23 cats.

At least for now, I'm gonna really start trying to take a friend's advice that she gave to me a few months ago, but I never took it. I'm gonna stop wanting to come around. When he's ready, he'll get here.

Kids of Survival

(Dylan, Vin, Gary, Frank)
I was supposed to be going to a concert tomorrow night but unfortunately it got cancelled due to a shady promoter. I was going to see this new band (they're not new band, but new to me). A few weeks ago I got a message on myspace from their drummer Dylan asking me to check out his band. It seriously was the cutest message I have ever gotten from a band! He's so down to earth and wicked chill. And when I finished reading his message, I HAD TO CHECK OUT HIS BAND! I love when people in bands want to talk to their fans. And he does! He's true to his word. He does try to answer every comment they get! I hate when I send a band like a Hello, how are you ... and I don't get anything back. I know, I know some of them are busy, but when you respond to most of your fans and not others, thats just rude. But anyway, you should check out Dylan's band Kids of Survival!!! I hope that one day I get to see his band live and meet the rest of the band! Because I bet they are as rad as he is! Just go to my myspace page and Kids of Survival is currently my #8 friend on my top.

Go Away!

Ughh... I'm sick. Yet again. I was sick last month and now I'm sick again. I really, really hate being sick. Of course that's what I get for chasing hockey players around the city.

Yup, I got sick last thursday after I went out wednesday night to go to JW Hills to meet Boston Bruin Chuck Kobasew and Manchester Monarchs Kevin Westgarth and Richard Clune. Of course I was supposed to meet Monarch Brian Boyle, but he had to be a good Catholic boy and went to church. I don't blame him though. He and his family is very religious and it was Ash Wednesday. But I'm just sad because I feel like I have some Brian Boyle curse against me. Every single time I'm supposed to meet that boy, he has some other place to be. Most every time its him being shipped off to LA to play for the Los Angeles Kings but this time it was church. I wouldn't be like this if it was any other player, but I still have to yell at him for something he did to me last season (December 17th, 2007) and I still haven't been able to yell at him since then.

So I kinda want this school week to be over with so I can go home and start my spring break. I wanna go home and sleep for like 12 hours because I don't think this cold will go away until I get that much sleep. That's how it was with the last cold. And I don't think I'm gonna get enough sleep here.

COLD PLEASE GO AWAY! My cold not cold weather. I want the cold weather to stay so hockey season will stay. I know, I should be saying cold weather go away so I won't get sick again, but you don't understand how much I love hockey!!! I don't know what I'm gonna do May-October when there isn't hockey. I mean I love baseball but you don't understand what its gonna be like being stuck in Manchester, living right down the road from the Verizon Wireless Arena and not being able to go to hockey games!!! IT'S GONNA SUCK LIKE MAJORLY!!!!! I've never been stuck in Manchester all summer long, so I might complain a lot summer, I might not. Baseball might be that amazing.

Okay, that's it. I'm done talking. Oh yeah, I almost forgot. HAPPY BIRTHDAY MOM!

WHY DONT WE DO THIS?

I wish my team did something this amazing!!!!!!!!!!


Record crowd helps Chops go "pink in the rink"

02/28/2009 7:10 AM



A crowd of 10,475 fans, the most ever to see an AHL game in Des Moines, packed Wells Fargo Arena on Friday night for the Iowa Chops' second annual Pink in the Rink Night.

Proceeds from the event will benefit the Breast Cancer Care Coordinator program at John Stoddard Cancer Center.

Everything that can be pink was pink in the arena. Besides playing on pink ice, the Iowa Chops players wore special jerseys, which became available for purchase via live auction immediately following the game. There was also a special pink lighting ceremony during the game to celebrate the lives of thousands of cancer survivors, as well as the lives of those lost to cancer. Even the arena went pink, with pink lights outside to reflect the excitement and energy of the night.

Chops fans were invited to show their support for cancer research and this event in several ways. During home games leading up to Friday, fans were invited to make donations of spare change in jars designated to each Chops rookie. Matt Caruana, Adrian Veideman and Matt Beleskey dyed their hair pink for the game, and contributions made to the winning jar will be matched by the Chops veteran players.

Fans were also able to purchase a Pink in the Rink T-shirt to wear for the evening, and proceeds from T-shirt sales as well as crowd participation games, such as Pitch-a-Pig, will be part of the overall donation.

Last year’s inaugural Pink in the Rink event generated over $25,000 for the Stoddard Care Coordinator program.
