Confessions of a Frisky Fish

What a Wonderful Surprise!
So, i woke up this morning expecting to have another blah day. But I didn't!
First, John sends me an IM. Apparently, he's touring Europe right now with the Glee Club. They're in Dublin now and then they are off to England! (Soo jealous.) Wasn't expecting to hear from him and very excited that he was nice enough to say hi!

Then, Justin sends me a message saying we are going to the Tigers game next week! So I'm very excited for that. Hopefully a lefty will be pitching!

Then I talked to Colin on the phone and as charity to himself, he's allowing himself to take me out. (because of the conversation I told him about that you only feel obligated to take out ugly people. So you should NEVER feel obligated to take me out. I don't need charity, I'm not ugly, and I only go out with people who WANT me to go out with them.) So that's exciting.

Ryan said he'd try to go to one of Michigan's last home games with me in a few weeks, so I hope he can!

The last thing, BADDS! The golf channel had a whole hour of him on tv and I was in heaven! I wanted to tell Matt but he wasn't around, but then he came online (only my sound wasn't up loud enough so I didn't hear the "How You Doin" when he sent me a message) so I missed telling him the good news.

But all in all, an exciting day!

Sports Update
Well, let's break it down by sport:

FOOTBALL (top priority, as always): Apparently Michigan is ranked #5. Bit of a shocker really. But hey, we won't be #5 by the end of the season. (I'm hoping for a #1 and a trip to the Orange Bowl personally)

No news on the Pats front. Will keep you updated though!

BASEBALL (strange how this is now #2? I just don't understand...): Ok, so the Tigers have been on a four game losing streak. It's not looking good! We're not 13-15! And BOTH my lefties lost their big games. It's very distressing. But you have to realize that you can't win them all and for the Tigers, I think what's they've accomplished so far has been amazing. So, we have a day off today and then we play (#1!!) Texas Rangers. A little worried about that one, have to be honest. But I'm still a fan!

In other baseball news...a little disappointed about the weekend split with MSU and then the loss to Eastern. But it's not like I was there, so I guess I can't complain. But I swear, I'll go to a game this year! I have to, I promised! Right now, we're 4th in the Big Ten, which isn't too bad. At least, I don't think it is.

HOCKEY:What can I say about hockey? Pitiful! We lost to CALGARY!! But, I'm not going to get upset. Oh no. (probably because my patience was lost back when March with a loss to BC--Joe Pearce--) But I didn't expect this from the wings. But as I keep telling you, I'm used to heartbreak. I am a Michigan hockey fan, after all. But there is some good news in all of this. First, Justin's team choked too. So I don't feel so alone (that's right, San Jose finally crushed the Avs. Like I knew they would.) But even more important, Zetterberg has signed for another year with Detroit. Which means I don't have to move to Sweden to watch him play! (assuming, there is a next year of course)


GOLF: Badds has had about a month off and I have to be honest, he hasn't been doing as well as I'd like. Right now at he's -1 and about 45th (in actuality a lot further down, but that's what it says on PGA.com) Hopefully he'll be able to come back and play like he used to (pre-Masters)

BASKETBALL: It's Time to Go To Work! So we beat NJ in game 1 of Round 2 in the NBA playoffs and game 2 is Friday at 7:00. I'm hoping we'll follow the motto and go to work! We need a successful detroit team! And you know the Pistons are the ones to do it!

That's all I have for sports at the moment. I'm sure I've forgotten something. (not nascar though. because that's not a sport. In fact, don't even get me started on that.) Keep watching and I'll keep you posted!

Of Course....you know what's coming
Let me take these moments to talk about something very important. The Bachelor.
So if you watched tonight's episode, you would know that Trish is no longer a contestant. What you see for the next episode is that she basically stalks Jesse and propositions him. (Too bad he doesn't play hockey. She's asking for some victimization ;)) After I saw that, I had only one thought. She must be getting paid. I mean, what normal woman would act like ON TV. For millions of viewers to watch? I mean, she's on network television. It's not like it's cable. It's on a channel everyone gets. And the fact that Jesse is (or should I say was) a QB for the Giants means that not only do you get the normal bachelor fans who know who Trish is, but you also get the sports people. Because you know that probably all the NFL players are watching and laughing, ESPN and FSN have segments on him, and sports radio won't shut up about him. So basically you have a wider audience than if it was just any old guy. So, if you are really so desperate for a husband, why the hell would you act like a scary psycho for all to see? Because who would want to marry her after watching her? I would hope no one. But then again, you never know. I mean, sure she's no SAC but she is definiately a whore who doesn't mind being victimized. (hey, maybe some hockey players are looking to hook up... Ok, sorry. I won't be mean anymore.) So anyway, that's what I think. I think she's being paid by the network to get ratings. My mum says that could be it. But she wouldn't doubt it if Trish wasn't because she seems like she would be that stupid to do something like that.

Another thing I just cannot understand is how stupid some people are! Like Jessica's mother. She basically asked Jesse if he could choose which team he wanted to be on. Ok, to be fair, in a way you kind of can (think T.O.) but that's why there's an NFL draft!! Because if you could pick any team you wanted to play for, everyone would want to be on a winning team (such as the Patriots) And I mean, come on. You don't have to know anything about sports to know that. I really hope she was just being stupid for the moment.

And of course you know I'm still upset about the Rose Bowl being wasted on one of those whores. You know, some people just do NOT deserve to have those privileges....being on the 50 yd. line at the Rose Bowl, meeting Drew Brees..., it's really not fair. But oh well, nothing I can do about it.

And on a small side note, but a really funny one: could you imagine if I had to bring a bachelor home with me? Oh god, I'd feel sooo sorry for him! My mum, who talks worse than a trucker--I swear!! My dad, who says the first time a guy ever came to pick me up, he was cleaning his shot gun (which I still don't think is true), my brother who is as antisocial as they come, and of course Winston Churchill and Klaus. Right there he's got to measure up with political alliances. (you know if he likes Klaus better, he's got to go. Communism will not be tolerated. Not even LAN communism.) Oh well, just a thought. If you've ever been to my house, you know what I mean. (AND DON'T YOU DARE SAY MY FAMILY IS COOL. BECAUSE THAT IS SOO WRONG.)

What to say...
Wow, there are a lot of things I could talk about today. But I think I'm going to forego the really sad stuff (and the complaining) and talk about something REALLY important.

Karen, you need to come home soon! You've been gone for way too long and I'm starting to wish I was back at school! Me and Shannon miss you like crazy! So you need to hurry back to us before I forget how to have fun!! (Remember, that happened in the fall of 2003. I don't want to repeat)

So that's my message. Short and sweet. Karen, COME HOME!!

Were you scared?
I know, I've been in Ann Arbor this weekend and that's enough to scare anyone! But I'll have you know that although I've gone to school there for two years now, I have not (hopefully) retained any Ann Arborishness to me. (God I hope not! I don't want to be an ugly, boring, scary girl! Oh, and fat. Definitely don't want to be fat.) But anyway, that's not what I was talking about.

You haven't been updated in two days and I know you're getting worried! But honestly, there was nothing to talk about. I woke up, drove to Ann Arbor, worked for like 7-8 hours, then drove home and did nothing. Sounds fun, huh?

But it is official. I'll be back at the mall this summer. (I'd rather be at the Ann Arbor store. The people are a lot more fun and it's soo easy.) But I need the money. Especially if I have to buy presents, fund trips to Canada, perhaps a week in Miami (fingers crossed) as well as my car and all the fun things planned for this summer.) So I'll be there and this time, unlike Christmas, I refuse to get involved with the 90210 drama. As Justin said, I'll be the outcast but I don't care. I'll do whatever I have to do save my sanity!!

Um, that's all I have for today. I was going to give you some press conference notes, but I figured I'd wait until I have more information to share. (which means research. Not too sure if I'm up for that.)

Oh, and you know how I said by August there will be a complete change? We may have to change that to September. (Is it possible that the more you try to be good, the reverse happens? I'm getting a little scared.)

What Have I Gotten Myself Into?
So, I just drove a total of 1.5 hours to do 8 hours of work. Ugh. I mean, I love everyone there so it was no big deal but really. $21 for a tank of gas (and you people actually want John Kerry to be our president? Heaven help us if he is!!) And then countless hours of my cheerleading/Barbie fake smile (because I had to be the greeter) with more hours of folding (the sorostitutes should really leave the kid sizes alone. YOU ARE TOO FAT TO WEAR THEM!) And I'm tired. This whole trying to be thin thing is really tiring. But anyway, it's my own fault for telling Robyn I could work. So I'll be back again tomorrow and I have to miss the baseball game on sunday. But Meg and her boy are going, so they can fill me in on exciting things.

But that's about it. And honestly, I REALLY don't want to go back to the mall store but what can I do? I need money. (Although, Mum and Dad said I could direct or produce porn. I just can't star in it. So maybe....JUST KIDDING!)

Karen Got Me Thinking...
We were in the car yesterday, eating the dancing (Grateful Dead ;)) gummy bears and she started asking me questions.
K: What's your favorite gummy bear?
S: I like them all. But I like the green ones. And the yellow ones.
K: I like the white ones.
K: What's your favorite lifesaver?
S: Green.
K: I knew that.
K: What's your favorite kind of jell-o?
S: Hmm...I like watermelon. And lime. And Strawberry.
K: I like lime with marshmallows. My grandma makes it.
K: Haha, I feel like I'm on a date.

And so I thought it would be funny to put up a survey on here. Answer the questions 'cause I want to know!

~What is your favorite gummy bear?
~What is your favorite lifesaver?
~What is your favorite kind of jell-o?
~What is your favorite kind of Kool-Aid?

And because this is the funniest pick-up line ever, Do you like Pineapple? (if you can tell me what movie this is from, I get you something really good)

wow
so nice to be home...And OFFICIALLY done with UM for another year.

Oh yeah, my finals were easy. And like I told you, my history test talked about Civil Rights and the Cold War. Who's a genius? Well, I don't like to brag...

Now I'm ready for a wild n' crazy summer with my two favorite girls!! (Haha, and of course, you boys too. But not just one in particular because I'm still single!!)

So if you're in town, or you want to be, give me a call and we'll go out!

Places I Want To Go Before Junior Year:
~Miami (probably won't happen, but we'll see)
~at least ONE Tiger's game
~GreekTown!!
~HockeyTown Cafe
~Kool-Aid Kingdom (a given)
~The Zoo
~The DIA
~CANADA...!!!
~Cedar Point
~UM vs. Western Baseball game May 19 (Dan, for that afternoon, you're mine ;))

That's all I have right now. I'm sure there's more and feel free to be creative and offer suggestions. But I'm warning you, if you offer me a suggestion you're most likely responsible for taking me there. It's the rules.

Saving a Friend
This is important. This stands for Frisky Fish everywhere. It is not only a life we are trying to save, but an institution. A set of principles, a way of life. This one little fish is symbolic of our entire group. And I'm scared that he is also symbolic of our (especially my) future.

What will happen if Frisky dies? Will it mean the death of Frisky Fish everywhere? He's sick right now. Has been for a while but now we just realized he needs to get better.

Isn't that weird though? That when the real Frisky Fish gets sick and needs to be healed, the metaphorical one does too? Only when you see the signs of sickness do you realize how bad the problem has gotten. And the strangest thing is, it took the girls to help.

For Frisky, it took Cookie, Candy, and Bunni to realize that something was wrong with Frisky. Just as it took SSK to make me realize that there was a problem.

Luckily, I have great friends who can help. But I've given Frisky some medicine and I hope it works. I don't quite know how to give the metaphorical Frisky medicine. She needs it though.

But I'm trying! So, please be kind to a diseased fish who is only trying to get better. Because the last thing you want to do is mess with her head and cause her to die.

You Have Some 'Xplaining To Do...
Now, I could just sit here and go off about why boys suck and blah blah blah, but I'm not going to do that. Because we already know the answer to that. What we don't know is the WHY do they do those things that make them absolutely horrible, and heartless and so unforgivable. So when we figure that out, we will safely put away the junk food and the ice cream and live stress free lives.

No, I'm not going to blame all of you guys (and you are all at fault. You really are) for being jerks. For mistreating your girlfriends, for ditching beautiful girls on Saturday nights when she drops her plans to be with you simply because you asked, or for feeding lies that you may think are comforting but turn out to be disasterous.

Instead, today's entry is dedicated to the two people in this world who have been there always. Who know how it feels to have their hearts ripped out and stomped on, who knows how it feels to be underappreciated. That's right, my girls. Because without them, I'd be a horrible, sad, boring, ugly Michigan girl...just like the others that go to there.

Why are they so great? I can call them anytime, day or night, and talk for HOURS about whatever is going on. They listen and more importantly, they understand. They offer advice and they know just what to say to make me feel better.

And what's more, when we go out, it's always a blast. Don't believe me? Read the past entries. Then remember January's trip to Canada, February's night at Hard Rock, March's Canada trip for Shannon's birthday, and April's weekends at UM. And then add last night's trip to Ram's Horn and drive around (where we stalked a couple of hottie police officers) You can't get better than them.

We've realized that we don't need guys in our lives to give us meaning. In fact, have you seen us? Yes, we're beautiful, smart, talented girls who can survive just fine on our own. So in reality, it has come down to this: YOU need us. And because of this, perhaps you should rethink your actions and get your acts together because we refuse to fall for your lines, your underappreciation, and your crap anymore. You have to prove yourselves worthy of us: of our attention, of our time, and of our affection. Pull that off, and you'll be the luckiest guy on the planet.
