Happy Halloween!

I didn't have time to be original this year, here are some pictures of my costume from last year, tho.

My first overnight away game trip proved to be a success.
Hannah gave me the nickname of "ghetto fabulous" due to my bizarre getup... I pulled the shell of my pants to hang lower, tucked in one side of my jersey into my waistband, had two different colored skate laces and two different gloves. I probably looked more like a fool, but it's all in good fun. Plus I was intimidating ;)
Private jokes of the weekend:
~Someone referring to the newer, younger Rachel on the team as "little Rachel" and me referring to myself with "what, as opposed to the big, fat orca Rachel?" *joking*
~Sporatic time-killing trip to Naughty but Nice, 3503 E County Rd S, Beloit, WI (hey, I wasn't the one driving :))
~9 of Hearts (eww)
~Man, you lack depth perception!

38: shots on goal for Whitewater, game one
5: shots on goal for Illini, game one.
4-2: win for Whitewater, but hey, look at our goalie's save percentage! Of the 5 shots we had on Whitewater, 2 of them went in... and both from the same move I pull every time:
I get the breakaway, skate up and pretend to shoot forehand pull in the puck and use my backhand. She fell for the move 3 times, but I can't complain since a goal is a goal.

Game 2 we tied 2-2, I think we had even less shots on net (4?) yet 2 went in. I completely played out of position as a defenseman, but had a few breakaways (unfortunately a bit of a puck hog) and scored again. At one point I skated into the offensive zone and the D got me at a bad angle so I skated around more looking for a pass and ended up zigzagging and losing the puck (d'oh!)
I was happy with the way everyone on my team played. I figure this Whitewater team was much nicer than the team last year, but they were still really cheap with their sticks. I was completely flattered to find out that in the stands the Whitewater fans were yelling "Don't let number 8 get the puck! Watch number 8! Someone get on number 8!". I may not have gotten a hat trick, but I did get 3 unassisted goals playing defense in 24 hours :)

I got home in time to check out some halloween parties. I love looking at costumes. I thought the best ones I saw were the Clark Kent with the Superman shirt sticking out beneath his dress shirt and the Luigi from Super Mario Bros.
Cheesy pickup line of the night: (two guys dressed in ref shirts standing together):
"Hey, come in here, how'd you two like to be double teamed?"
NASTY! Oh, but I'm sure if they ask enough girls (like say 50) in one night, one of them will be lame enough to take them up on an offer.

I have to edit this dang entry, it's too long.

18: number of "I agree with Mark" t-shirts spotted by Dervon today.
1: number of "I don't agree with Mark" t-shirts spotted today

At dinner I was joking about how "I don't agree with Mark" t-shirts should be made, and just as I said it, I saw a guy wearing one, hehe. Great timing :)

Although a bit on the humid side, today was a great day. I even fed birds without getting my finger bitten (flashback to childhood trauma story).

I should be studying for my test tomorrow that I haven't studied for yet...

Mmmm... gummi bears are great.

Relative to the earlier comment, I received this link from Siobvan which is definitely "wrong on so many levels".

1:13 AM
private joke of the day:
"I need to make change for a 10" (don't ask)

Siobvan-squeak-laughing-inducing observation of the night:
Apprently "pop star" Jessica Simpson confesses, "I love to fart." on some Mtv thingy. What's up with that? Who loves to fart? What's next? "Man, I just love taking a shit." or "Don't you just love getting the runs!"? Kinda bothering, eh?

Listen to my buddy Danny's interview on british radio here :) (you'll need real player to play it)

I hate feeling bad about stuff.

The weather's been really nice for being falltime.

up, up, down, down, left, right, left, right, b, a, start (or select, start if you want two players).

That's the Konami code for those of you who forgot it.

I remember back when I was 9 years old and I wanted to work for Capcom or Konami. That's what partially made me decide to major in stupid computer science. Ugh. I shouldn't have decided so soon.

Don't you hate when you wait outside for 7 minutes with a hockey bag on your shoulder the whole time (since the pavement is muddy) and the bus whizzes by you so you have to walk 20 minutes home alone at night carrying your hockey equipment? I was not very chipper about the whole ordeal.

some stranger than fiction stuff of the night:

~ purchasing Willy Wonka brand "Oompas"... yummy candy goodness.

~ roommate doing an impression of Cartman doing an impression of Britney Spears

~ referring to drunk/possibly high rambunctious hockey fans:
Dervon: "Rachel... that guy smells funny."
five minutes later...
Dervon: "Rachel... that guy smells 'special'."

~ guy showing my roommate a trick with money and the ref yelling at us on the balcony from the ice saying "you know that's not legal" (she was ready to jump on the ice and kick his ass)

~ sporatic singalongs of "let it be"

~ getting a browned lime chucked at my head (it missed, phew!)

~ kitten licking "itself" (ack! cover eyes!)

~ car turning the wrong way on a one way street

~ girl wearing skirt that was waaaaaaaaaay too short (I would appreciate it if you would cover your ass, please.)

~ funny smelling bus driver

Ok, so I guess you had to be there for most of the stuff for it to be amusing, but oh well.

Trips to Walgreens never cease to be eventful.

Purchased at my Walgreens run: tissues, paper towels, blow pops, hugeass bag of twix, measuring cup and 16 oz shaker for "dressings, chocolate milk and powdered drink mixes" (aka "cocktails").

Random girl asks another random girl if she's over 18 so she can have cigarettes bought for her.

List dropped by sorority girl had condoms listed first followed by safety pins. What the...?

There is proof that people still SUCK. Yelled at me from a red coupe full of guys: "Is your p*ssy slanted?" I am still hoping that I just misheard that.

5:11 PM
Milk-spouting-out-of-nose inducing comment of the day:
Dervon (holding apple): "I just feel like chucking this apple at someone."
It wasn't even funny, but remind me not to drink milk when someone's speaking nonetheless.

A misunderstanding rivaling a "Three's Company" episode:

me: "I want to get a girdle, I'm sick of my pads conveniently shifting every time I fall on the ice."

sebastian: "That's really sick, I really didn't need to know that."

me (just realizing what I said): "Oh dear, I am talking about HOCKEY PANTS, not that..."

Speaking of which, I got to work net crew for the hockey game for the first time that night. That really really kicked ass since I actually got to watch the whole game :) Props to Julie (did I spell that right?)

Seen chalked on the quad today:

"Everyone loves Bush"
"I LIKE BUSH"

Oh, those wacky Republicans!

Ok, there is something seriously wrong with Urbana if it's 6:51 PM and on network tv they have a television ad for some www.iam18.com site. Eww!
