Hockey players into the Twilight series? That would be a yes. You're joking right? No I am not.

Just ask Corey Elkins of the Manchester Monarchs. I love that they're having the players write small blogs on the website. Corey gave New Moon 4 out of 5 pucks. I wish he could of written more. Don't worry, I'll find out who those five "nameless" guys are. But I don't know if I will share it with the world. If I can find out, I might just keep it to myself. But I will say I sure as hell wish I had been there when he and the "nameless" guys saw New Moon.

Corey Elkins' Five-Puck Review

By Corey Elkins

Hello Monarchs fans. Here is my first attempt at developing my movie analysis skills. Who knows, maybe I will end up having a career after hockey! Ebert and Elkins...No?? The movie for this first edition is the second chapter of the Twilight Saga, New Moon, and I gave it a rating of four pucks out of five.

Now some might say that this is a “chick flick,” or at least not a typical movie for a hockey player to be interested in. However, I will have you know that five teammates of mine, who shall remain nameless, snuck into the very same theatre I was in without seeing me. Let's just say that I heard one guy crutching up the stairs, and a whole lot of noise whenever Jacob (Taylor Lautner) entered the screen with his shirt off.

I would advise anyone who enjoyed the movie to read the books. A lot of the story is what goes on inside Bella’s head. This is a major aspect of the book, which the movie is unable to capture. In the book, the story develops at a slower pace, which allows for so many more details and emotions to develop among the characters, particularly Bella and Jacob. Being a fan of the books, I have to say that the movie did not quite do justice to the story. Jeff Zatkoff is a fellow fan of Twilight, and he is in agreement with this.

An additional critique would be regarding the acting skills of the wolves. At times, they were a bit cheesy and it felt like they were reading from a teleprompter. However, as long as Jacob kept his shirt off, I think the five nameless guys behind me were just fine with his performance.

The setting for the story is on the Olympic Peninsula in Forks, Washington, and La Push, a Native American Reservation on the coast. Although the movie is filmed in British Columbia, I thought they really did a good job capturing the scenery.

The big question is, at this point in the story, whose side are you on? George "Bud" Holloway III, Prince of Wapella, gave his opinion at the end of his blog last week, siding with Edward the Vampire. Bud and I agree to disagree. I am team Jacob...at least for now.

Ugh I'm sick of boy problems

I really want to ask God why he made guys so damn hot. I mean seriously, I hate being tortured. I might have found a really great guy but there's no way in hell he'd date me. I'm not the kind of girl he wants. I know I'm great and whatnot but I hate that I'm not what he wants. I know I should move on, there's other fish in the ocean but I just absolutely hate that personality-wise I'm probably what he wants but not looks. I know a guy shouldn't choose a girl over looks, but he's in that category of guys who choose that beautiful girl. Okay, so I don't know him that well but from everything I see, its what I want.

If I can start my master plan now I can get him within a year. Hopefully. If I actually start it after Thanksgiving that is. Because I can't stand not having him.

Wow, I havent blog yet in November?!

Hahaha, nope I haven't. So this is my first post nine days into the month. I think I'm serverly addicted to tumblr. It's really gonna turn into a big problem somewhere down the road. I think I'm addicted to raising my tumblarity up constantly.

I think I should either go to the Downtown Fiction concert or the Monarchs game on Wednesday. I should get out an about and let tumblr be.

Other than my addiction to tumblr, I haven't really been up to much. Pretty much just tumblr & street teamed all weekend. Pretty boring I know. But it was a lazy weekend for me. I probably wont get another one for a while.

I go home most weekends now. Been helping the family organize things at my Grams since we're going to be selling it hopefully within the next year.

I need another concert! I'm dying since my last one on October 23rd when I saw the ever-so-handsome Jesse Ruben. So good to see him again! If I don't see the TDF on Wed. I won't see one until the 27th & 28th when I see Boys Like Girls, the Maine, A Rocket to the Moon, Cobra Starship & Versa Emerge on the 27th. And Push Play, Phil Bensen & Emily Osment on the 28th. Can NOT wait for that weekend!

Just one month & eight days left until I leave this horrid school!

I didn't think I'd get this upset

I really didn't think I would get this upset over this. Any vacation I was planning is not happening. Of course, I blame part of it on Bud Holloway because he's got me listening to Eric Church's Carolina (sad country song). I just wanted a vacation so bad! I just wanted to go somewhere were I can disconnected myself from the world and just have fun with never-yet-to-face-have-met friends. I just wanted a vacation with no worries, drama or bullshit. I haven't had one since summer 2008 and with all the stress that has been going on here at Hesser, I just wanted to get away from it all. I guess that was too much to ask. Well my mother got her wish, she doesn't have to worry about me missing classes or spending that kind of money on me. I hope she knows that I am now gonna to demand a camera for Christmas. I've been wanting a "good" one for years but you know the elders, don't explore possibilities, just go with what's cheap and is crap. I'm picking out the one I want! I already have one in mind. And it's a hell of a lot cheaper than the one I was asking for around my birthday. 700 dollars cheaper! Now knowing that my Dallas or Orlando vacation isn't happening, that just drives me to making my trip to Cali this coming summer WILL HAPPEN! Even if I have to walk there! I will get there!

I'm not worth it

I'm not worth your friendship. For some reason I never do anything right anymore. I am constantly being attacked. And they get their friends to attack me too. Seriously, this isn't high school. I can't take it anymore. I can't make anyone happy anymore, I guess I just piss them off. I'm just loosing friendships left and right.

True Life: I will have seriously problems with alarms in the future

Sorry Madi, but I need to steal your "True Life" for this post. I seriously think I'm going to have like post-traumatic stress alarm disorder. PTSAD. I figured that out last Monday night, after our 4th alarm in 2 weeks last Monday morning. Monday night as I was trying to fall asleep, I was starting to freak out that there was going to be another alarm early Tuesday morning. I remember during the summer, my mom, sister and I were at Friendly's and their alarm in the kitchen was going off. I could hear it and I started freaking out. It's like the exact alarm with have here. I think I'm going to have some seriously problem in the future when I hear an alarm or something close to it. I'm already freaking out now. Well not at the moment but last week and such. You get my point.

It's Fall People

I am getting so sick of hearing people complain it's cold. It's like IT'S CALLED FALL IT'S GONNA GET COLD! What in the world are you going to do when WINTER comes?? Wait, you mean to tell me you've grown up in New England since you were born and YOU'RE STILL NOT USED TO THE COLD??? If you hate the cold, move SOUTH! This is New England, WE GET SNOW! I'm gonna start telling people that you can start complaining it's cold when you've stood outside the Verizon Wireless Arena for about an hour in about 15º to 20º with snow on the ground waiting to get a Mr. Potato Head. That was in I think December. I'm doing the same thing this coming February for the Kevin Westgarth Bobblefists. I WANT MY BOBBLEFISTS! So I have to stand outside in the freezing cold. Do that and then you can complain about the cold!
