GO Canucks GO

Lots of people would say that I’ve never been much of a hockey fan, surprise surprise, i know. But i’ve always been well aware that going to any kind of professional sports event would be fun to the max. I love sport environments. Looooooove it. I love cheering, i love heckling, i love sitting on the edge of my seat. I actually enjoy getting a sore throat from yelling so much, it makes me feel accomplished and loyal. And, I love competition.

Tonight, I went to my first NHL game with dozen or so other people. Canucks @ Flames, sweeeet. The Flames have cheap tickets for $22, waaaaay cheaper than any seat in Vancouver. Not to mention it’s hard to get any tickets in Vancouver, period. I had a lot of fun cheering on the Canucks in Calgary. The anti aspect of it all appeals to me. I even bought a Canucks jersey just for this game (17 bucks on eBay, very nice). It was especially fun being a Canucks fan in our particular section cos it seemed like it was half Vancouver fans and half Calgary fans. And it being a decisive game so close to the playoffs made things more intense and competitive.

I had such a good time even though we lost. Losing a 2-0 lead and getting killed on the winning goal because of a bad line change was so upsetting, not to mention embarrassing. Sunk down into my seat. Sad times. But at least we’re still in contention, all is not lost!

People might be thinking i’m starting to jump on the bandwagon… well, it’s not that i haven’t been on it already. It’s just that hockey isn’t my #1 sport. But i’ll always be proud of Vancouver. Plus, it’s much more fun to get into hockey as a Canucks fan in Calgary. And a big props goes to hockey for the normalcy of getting into a fight 5 seconds into the game. First period, :05, FIGHT. Gotta love that!

and March is here.

I’d prefer not to have random bullet point posts but it’s probably the easiest way to catch up when i don’t blog for a month. So, to backtrack a part of the last 4 weeks or so..

I went to Scotland (Campus for Christ’s Spring Break missions). i should write more about it but i don’t think that’s going to happen at the moment. i sent off update emails and finished my newsletter but haven’t written much on the laissez-faire side of things to post here. if you want my newsletter just let me know.

Edinburgh

I finally went boarding. Alberta’s got the mountain-deal down pat. Kudos.

Baptisms! Paulman and Karina, congrats!

Throwback to those beloved SNES days.. Mindy O. came down to Calgary and brought my fave Nintendo product. Good times beating the Street Fighter II game again. =D

My sisters’ 17th birthdays! Weren’t you both only 5 just a few years ago?? Remember those Pocahontas PJ shorts way back when? hahahaa, your fave! Some summer pics, something to look foward to.

Haha, i’m a creeper!

I’m whipping through quite a bit of period pieces/ historical adaptations lately. some being.. Kirsten Dunst in Marie Antoinette = horrible. Cate Blanchett in Elizabeth: The Golden Age = enjoyed it a lot. I’m also reading The Other Boleyn Girl right now. I’ve had hesitations that it might be too racy. So far, not terribly bad. But then again i’m only 1/7 of the way through its 730 pages.

And lastly, i’ve been able to have time to do some “inner-thinking” as i’d like to put it. it wasn’t all that fun, but still good. probably borderline necessary. yeah, pretty much.
