crushes

Crushes can be so frustrating at times, it's like "do you like me, do you hate me, do you even know I exist?". The guy I like is cute, nice, funny, and intelligent; all the guys I have ever liked are smart guys, that's what I find attractive (I know this sounds superficial, but he's also gotta be somewhat good looking, but that's not a problem because all the smart guys in my school are pretty cute). I've sorta liked a few guys that were funny and not that smart at all, but those weren't serious crushes, more like random flirting. The guys that I have had serious crushes on were all really smart though, the guy I used to like liked me too, some people thought we were going out, but he never had the guts to ask me out and now he's moved away and I'm over it. The guy before that was this sweet shy guy, but he moved away in like grade 7. I liked this guy before him that nearly every other girl in my grade liked, but I soon realized that he may be smart, but he is still a total idiot. The guy I like right now is in my Math and English class, and is a friend of a friend of mine, I'm not sure when I started liking him but the point is I do; and I am stuck just wondering if he likes me. Sometimes he acts all cute with me, and I think he likes me, but other times it's like he doesn't see me. Knowing my luck, he probably doesn't like me, and that really sucks. I probably have the crappiest luck in the world fyi, but that's a whole other post, that I'll probably eventually put up here as soon as it either hits rock bottom or gets a hell of a lot better. But right now its about at the "sorta sux, but could be worse" level and that's just boring to read: It's not a super sad story that you would think is the plot to a movie, and its not inspiring either, it just sux. Allrighty, I'm going to stop going on about my crappy life and get back on topic. So anyways, there are several opportunities where I might have a chance at him; there's the band trip in april (btw, we're not an American Pie type of band ie. sex freaks), and then there's the 30 hour famine sleep over at the school in May. There'll be far less people at the famine than at the band trip (10-15 people compared to 100), but none of the people I actually hang out with are at the famine, so I might be a bit less comfortable. At least at the band trip I got my best friend there to help me.

Customer Appreciation Day

I don't know whether it was just at my DQ, or all DQ, or all businesses, but it was customer appreciation day, and we had half off all double cheeseburgers and peanut buster parfaits. I NEVER want to see another parfait again! I made so many of those I started putting peanuts in everything. And I certainly didn't appreciate the customers that, for one reason or another, thought it was a good idea to smear cookie dough and cheese all over the inside of the playplace.
Although I did appreciate the nice customer that tipped me :) . All's well that ends well I guess, everyone working till close like me got a free blizard so it's all good.

Hockey Commercials

The top three in my mind
----------------------------------------
#3

I don't know what it is about this commercial, it has intensity, ferocity, and hockey...and for some reason I love it. Maybe that's just because I'm a hockey nut, but I think that it is well made. Too bad there's no Oilers (at least not that I saw).

"Give them nothing, but take from them EVERYTHING!"
(...wish the Oilers would adopt that mentality, instead of the complete opposite.)
------------------------------------
#2



This one is hillarious. "OVECHKIN!" hahaha.

------------------------------------
...and the #1 hockey commercial...



"I got a toonie" lol that is so funny

Oilers Autographs

1:00-2:30 Sunday March 4th
West Edmonton Mall

Time I got there at: 10:30am. I knew that the Smith/Roli line would be longest so I camped out there. It was HUGE, but I was like, 20th. That line moved so fast, and the two were there earlier than everyone else, so some of the other lines hadn't even moved yet.
Autos I got: Smith, Roloson, Greene, Lupul, Stortini, Sykora. I also got pictures up close with them while they were signing my hat. They smiled for the camera and everything, it was great!
Location of autos: My pink Oilers hat. The guy at the 46/71 line was all like "there's no more autograph cards" (he was lying btw) and I almost laughed at the look on his face when i told him I had my hat to sign.
Best part: Stortini and Sykora staying past 2:30. That was so nice of them!
Worst part: the people running it. Jerk cut me off at the Pisani/Markkanen line. And the girls at the counter always told my sister not to take pictures until she was behind the rope.

That about sums it up
