Anyone who truly knows me knows how big of a fan I am - some might say I am obsessed. Some might say I have an addiction. I say I don't give a fuck I LOVE MY TEAM!!
I called off the following Monday to go to the parade. I got my ass up at 5:30am (I usually don't go to bed til 2) I was in Station Square by 7:30am. I was still a little ways away from the stage, but I was right against the railing so I got some really good pictures. Here's just a few (out of the 500 I took).
The Ruff Stuff.... this next part is just me venting - feel fully free to skip.

I think I am going to try and get a few hours sleep in this chair, though with all the beeping I doubt I'll be able to.... I'll probably just end up getting lost in Season 1 of True Blood...

LET'S GO PENS
LET'S GO PENS
LET'S GO PENS
On another note -- if you live in the Pittsburgh area, this is an event you need to go to.
Going to the Pens game tonight. It's going to be hell getting in Pittsburgh I imagine b/c of the memorial in Pittsburgh for the three officers lost in the line of duty. I watch a little bit of it on TV and it's amazing how many cops from different locations show up. Pittsburgh, Toronto, Fresno - freaking every where. I think they were expecting some 20,000 cops. Thats just amazing. RIP.
On a happier note :: PENS ARE IN THE PLAYOFFS!! WOOO!!! Can't wait to see who we face! Two games left kids, today and saturday. Well, I am going to get ready for the game. Gotta leave early!!
Ah well.
- New -
...Pens are on a winning streak.
...Purchased my Motley Crue / Godsmack tickets today
...New Sykora and Letang jerseys
I totally wrecked my car in like December... flipped it. It was totalled so I had to get a new car. My selection .... Mazda 3. It's quick. I like that.
I need to go to ikea soon...
Apparently I will be in Canada wed and thurs with Shotgun. Sweet. Always wanted to go to there - Especially for the Hockey Hall of Fame... hmm... maybe, just maybe I can squeeze it in?!
and lonley.
I was really excited for Sunday because I wanted my BFF's to meet my Scott. He was finally going to actually show up and meet them. It didn't happen.
I haven't talked to him in a few days now and I feel bad. I'm going to see Twilight when it opens Thursday night. I'm just hoping hoping hoping they did not destroy it.
Friday morning I am headed out to Pens practice at South Pointe - then Light Up Night in Pittsburgh. I am really really looking forward to that. And then Saturday PENS GAME.
Pittsburgh is my Emerald City.
I just finished reading Wicked / Son of a Witch. -amazing- Then I was able to watch Wicked The Musical online via Google (my new best search friend). oh man. I am in love. I want to see it live now even more.
Don't wish, don't Start
Wishing only wounds the heart
So if you care to find me
Look to the Western sky!
As someone told me lately
Everyone deserves the chance to fly
And if I'm flying solo
At least I'm flying free
Pick it up and read it - or go see it. The musical and the book are so very different but both so very amazing.
Thats all for tonight kids...
One more thing. While looking through a bunch of youtube vids - word is they are making a movie out of the musical... if so. oh man i can't wait!
Nothing really to blog about I guess. I'm drowning myself in hockey as much as possible because I can and because it's one of the only things that make me truley happy and excited. Went to some hockey games recently.. Home opener vs. NJ (loss
) and the Tor game where Sid got 100g -200a -300pt and Malkin got 200pt That was a really good game. 
Went on vacations with my BFF's. We went to Corolla, North Carolina. Beautiful -- If you live any where near there, consider yourselves lucky. The hooters waitress was complaning because there was nothing to do there. HELLO BEACH! Just imagine living in a place like that -- but no Beach. Hello East Liverpool, Ohio. Well I guess at least our Wal-Mart is open 24/7 -- and our resturants don't close at like 6. But still... it's just amazing there. I went there last year with Kenny, Shotgun's B/F. We're all going again next year. The horrid ass drive is so worth it.
Work blows as always.
I got a raise and the union took over. I'm not sure how I feel about the union yet -- I know I don't like our new time off schedule Makes it hard for me to get time off for all the hockey games I have tickets for. But I do like this new exchange time thing where I can leave work an hr early then make it up later on in that week. Not bad. My only thing is I don't even plan on staying past 745 which means I have to get my ass up early. Early + me / work= one pissed off customer care rep.
Shotgun amd I are supposed to shoot tomorrow for some clothing companies. I'm trying to get better at this photography thing. I'd really love to do it full time but I just don't have the money to buy ALL the equipment. I'm getting pieces little by little. Lights are on my agenda next. But we do alright for what we have. I have my pictures submitted to JPGMAG. A really nice site and magazine for photograpy. I'm not near as good as some of thsoe guys on the site but I guess I do ok. I sent off for some information on a scholol for photography through the mail -- I don't know that I trust it though. Seems fishy. I asked a local photographer for her advise becase I love her photography, but she never email me back.
I am sick. And I hate it. I am not throwing up or anything just coughing like a cat with a freakin hairball. Of course I worked today and it was busy so I had to talk all day now my throat is freaking killing me. I think Shotgun might have to learn hand signals for our shoot tomorrow. I think we are doing it at my house. Not really sure yet. Guess we'll fnd out tomorrow.
*cough cough cough* ugh Fuck this cold. Pens are beating the Rangers right now. It better stay that way. Just sayin'
HAPPY SHOTGUN ... yea.
EDIT:: Pictures added. 
I'm pretty excited. I took Shotgun with me to her first live game. We left super early trying to beat traffic and avoid the never ending rt. 60 road construction. Breezed right through it all and ended up in Pittsburgh like real early. We went to the top of a parking garage to take some pics of Pittsburgh and then ended up walking all over town looking for a open place to go to the bathroom -- we ended up at DoubleTree -- which is way more swanky then I thought [ tree- no. double tree? Hell ya. Dang I had my heart set on quadruple tree... we were almost there <mitch hedberg> ]
But it was all a ton of fun - stuff usually is with that girl. lol. We got to see alot of good players. A couple of our key players were playing - Crosby, Malkin, Stall, Sykora and Fleury.
A little sad we didn't get to see Kris Letang { } But we did get to see Janne Pesonen. I'm excited about his future with the Pens. I think he is going to be a good addition to out team, as well as Fedotenko and Satan. Satan looks like he is going to be playing on the first line with Crosby. Hopefully that line will be able to produce big numbers this year.
I picked up a Kris Letang jersey online tonight Yay. I'll be up to 5 jersey's.
I HAVE AN ADDICTION!!!! ah welll...
on a side note:: has anyone seen the stride commerical where the guy is crossing the street talking on his cell phone and a ram comes out of nowhere and rams into him making him spit the gum out. oh man. i laugh eveytime i see it.
OBX in 2 weeks. 
We had a nasty wind storm blow through town lastnight. I have power - which is more then I can say for most people around me. But I don't have cable - so I watch movies or read. And what do I watch / read? Love stories. Damn it where is my netflix when I need it!? I have a ton of vampire movies just waiting to watch.. Has anyone seen The Fall? From the visual director of the cell? Looked good - lets just hope it is. For the mean time I'll watch Stardust - and I'll leave you with a quote from the movie --
Romance like this doesn't exist any longer .......
just a side note :::::: HOCKEY STARTS SOON:::::: I could not be more excited. The one thing that has never ever let me down. I'm always proud of my boys - no matter the outcome.
I'm serious. This guy I was talking to was being super sweet and acting like he was really into me. So then all of a sudden one day he just drops off the face of the earth and stops talking to me. Mind you he is 3000 miles away from me so hmm, maybe he's just busy. Oh no, he's not just busy.. he has a girlfriend now.
I felt like it was too good to be true and that I was being played and/or used. But you know what, it felt good to feel like someone cared about me for just a few days. It felt good to know that someone who knew me and knew what i looked like, was looking past all that to get to know me. why?
Dear Boys,
You are dumb. You are lame. And you've hurt this girls feelings for the last time.
Regretfully yours,
me.
Doug left. I miss him. He's one of my best.
I fought with him alot. I miss that. I kind of want to call him up and fight with him right now.
He's sleeping. As I should be.
The absolute only thing in this world that even comes close to putting a simle on my face anymore is PITTSBURGH PENGUINS hockey.
So I think I deserve to go to a damn good game tomorrow and they need to all out beat the shit out of Cote. I don't know why I despise him, I just do. I'll be spending all day in Pittsburgh tomorrow too. A day to myself.. maybe I'll do some apt. hunting. A change of living arrangements could do me good.
Yea, I could live there and be happy.
LETS GO PENS! LETS GO PENS! LETS GO PENS!
