Confessions of a Frisky Fish
Sunday, 23 May 2004
WHAT A DAY!
Well, it did rain. And because of the rain, we couldn't stay till the end of the second game, but we did see the first one and it was great! (aside from the scary guy who was trying to pick us up. We're sitting there, staring at the boys on our team...Michigan's got some hot baseball players, let me tell you!...and this guy sits down next to Karen and starts talking to her and he would not leave us alone!

Here's a little hint...Do not try to pick me up while I'm watching sports. did it work for the boys in Canada when I was watching the Pistons game at the Casino? NO! Did it work for the boy at Tiki Bob's when the Wings were on? No. Did it work for creepy Jesse when we were at the Treehouse and golf highlights were on? NO! (although, it could have worked for others in the hotel room when we watched sportscenter...) But in general, you will not get my attention, you will only make me mad! Yes, I'm a girl but that doesn't mean I don't want to know what's going on! And PLEASE don't try to talk sports with me if you don't know what the hell you are talking about!! It's so annoying to have people think I'm an idiot and don't know anything because I'm a girl when really, you're the idiot because you don't know what the hell you're talking about (especially about hockey or football...) Ok, enough of that.

Anyway, We're trying so hard to get him to go away, and finally he leaves. Oh it was bad! But we survived that escapade. The game ended and Michigan won, 5-1. We left between the games to get some food (Mr. Greeks) and then I stopped in the old store to say hi. Oh how I miss it right now! Then we went back to the game (scared we missed it but it was only the second inning) But we get back and we go into the stands, only to see the scary stalker guy so Karen is like "we have to go. NOW!" so we leave the stands and stand by the fence for a while...(bad position. VERY bad place to be standing) but then we decide, you know what? We just won't talk to him. So we go back to the stands, hoping he's not looking at us and sit to watch the rest of the game. That's when we notice fan club #2 and fan club #3. One on the left side and one on the right. Now, we could be totally wrong. They could have been looking at something else and not us, but I'm pretty sure it was us. There was nothing else around us to look at. Anyway, we had to some fun with that, although at times we didn't know where to look. Then, to make me happy (not really but a girl can dream) they put in a LEFT-HANDED PITCHER! I was so excited. And he did great too. I think all left handed pitchers are great. Not all of them are really hot, but they're all great. But, despite having to leave early because bad weather was threatening and I had to listen to mum for a change, we definitely enjoyed the game. And I'm so glad we went. Only regrets? Not talking to fan clubs. But that couldn't be helped because due to threatening weather and an hour drive, we couldn't stay. It wasn't safe.

Driving home in the rain was an adventure. Especially when the lightning practically hit the car. that was really scary. But we survived and Karen is the BEST for coming with me because I never would have gone alone. And it was so much fun, definitely worth it. But it was the last one till next year, so that's pretty sad. But you know I'll be there next year. I've become a serious fan. (who knew? I'm hooked!)

Some memorable quotes:

"See? His hands would fit perfectly with mine!" ~Karen commenting on her boyfriend

"I'm very observant. I noticed the things on his arms."~Karen, again commenting on her boyfriend because she recognized his hands from the dugout.

"You can sit here" ~fan club #1 when we were trying to find a place out of the rain. (we would have just gotten wet but we were both in white shirts...)

"Where's his girlfriend?"
"Karen, I think that's his mom."
"But where's his girlfriend?"
"Maybe she isn't supportive of his baseball talent."
"Ooo, I'll be supportive!"
~discussing her boyfriend in between at-bats.

"They're not staring at me. they're not staring at you! They're staring at your boobs!"
"But you can't see them unless I lean forward! Maybe they're staring at your boobs. You're the one in the special cleavage bra."
"No, you can't see them unless you look down. I like to look down at my cleavage. It makes me proud."
~discussing why the two fan clubs (#2, #3) kept staring at us.

"Ooo, that one is married! Oh wait, that's the manager, nevermind."~Karen checking out the hands peeking over the dugout.

"Foul ball. Go run and get it kids! Wow, if I miraculously had kids, that would be a great way to get rid of them."~ Me watching some kids chase after a foul ball while we were trying to be unseen by the scary stalker guy.

"My arm is numb."~ Karen after I was squeezing her arm really hard because Clayton Richard came back...with hockey boys in tow. But no, not the ones we wanted to see.

"What's that thing they have on the bat?"
"I don't know. Maybe it's so they know where to hit the ball."
~trying to figure out why the boys practicing before batting had the rubber thing on their bats. Thanks to Walter's profound baseball knowledge, we know what it is and why it's there.

"Ok, so I know there's two foul balls that equal strikes. But I don't think you can strike out on foul balls. But can you just keep going?"
"I think there's like a seven foul ball limit."
~trying to figure out baseball without the help of a baseball player. Again, thanks to Walter, we know the answer.

"That would be a cool slip and slide. Look at all the water!"
~The boys were taking the tarp off the field after the heavy downpour.

"Don't be stupid! Just because you want to go to a stupid baseball game. You're too far away from home with this bad weather."
~My mum yelling at me as we're driving to the game.

"Maybe that's the reason why he hasn't called."~ Me and Karen watching two boys be buddy buddy, yet again.

"What would they do if you said, Excuse me, could you sign my thong?"~ Me commenting after a mob of kids ran to the dugout to get autographs.

"Are they pouring beer onto their grill?"
"That's why they call it beer-battered."
~Walking down State Street and watching two frat boys grill on their porch.

that's all for now! I think this day lived up to all it's built up excitement. Oh, except we couldn't find Mike's number and Tim's number so we couldn't call them. That was kind of a bummer, but we're still working on that.

Oh No
Am I being punished for something? I swear, I had his number when I packed from school! It was with my pictures of Winston and Klaus! It was taped to the wall, complete with the words "DO NOT CALL EVER" underneath. I know I took it down and put it with the pictures, but where did I put the pictures? I looked everywhere! (even the fridge!) and I can't find the number or the pictures anywhere! It's not with my Zetterberg articles (the ones that Nicholas wrote) or my picture of Badds or my photos from our girls' nights. So where is it?
How can I lose a hot guy's number?!? This is HORRIBLE! Especially because we may need it to get in touch with the other hot guy who we want to come to the game with us tomorrow! Please tell me someone doesn't hate me and everything will work out because I'm flipping out!

And I can't check the phone bills because #1) we called him the beginning of April, and #2) mum said she threw them all away. And the website doesn't have numbers on it so I really don't see a way that I can get his number unless I miraculously find it!

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

**Not that I like him or anything. Remember, I'm not supposed to call him. I can't give him the satisfaction of thinking I'm just another one of his "victims" because I am so obviously not. Try as he might (and he's given out some pretty good lines, I have to say) he hasn't gotten anywhere with me. But still. I kept his number in case of emergencies, like this one! I'm so awful, how could I lose it? Because if Karen doesn't have the number anywhere, we can't call him and then he can't come to the game with us and he can't meet Karen and I know he'll just love her because she's great and he's such a sweet guy (except for his drunken pick up lines...Oh, and that one time but we're not going to go into that...) So you can see why this is so important. Again, it's not because I like him or anything. Because I don't. Really, I swear. Remember?

What Can I Say?
We went to work! Let's hope we don't make a fool of ourselves against Indiana. In fact, let's show Rick Carlisle we didn't need him anyway! We got a Tar Heel leading the way and (he's not Roy Williams :) as much as I love Roy, I even know the sayings are true) And with Larry Brown dressing like Mr. Amaker, we can't do poorly, can we? HAha, we'll see...

But sadly, there's always the problem you run into everytime a Detroit team does good. I scroll down my buddy list and everyone is watching the game because they are such Die Hard Pistons fans! (tell me, do any of you even know who Rick Carlisle is? Or was? My point exactly.) It's so sad because you people could have cared less about them during the season. When we were going to work, you people thought that meant actually going to a job or something. So please, bare with me if I'm not all enthusiastic about the Pistons doing well. I'm excited, I love them; they're my team (remember, Brendan is my favorite player. But the Pistons are the team I watch on tv...) But I'm sick of these people, oh especially the girls! Who think they are all about NBA when they're only watching it because the boys are. Because honestly, I bet if you ask them who Ron Artest is, they'll look at you with a blank expression. UGH!

Ok, enough of that. I was wrong! Hockey is NOT over. Joe Pearce was drafted to Tampa Bay in 2002 and look! They're fighting to play the flames in the Stanley Cup Finals! They lost in overtime tonight to the Flyers so game 7 will be in Tampa. Hopefully, they can pull it off because I hate Calgary and I like Joe Pearce!

Good news...Badds is 13th at the colonial! True, it's only day one, but I'm excited! He's not last!

Tigers lost today, they aren't above .500 anymore. (two wins away from that, sadly) Roberston pitches tomorrow against Seattle. Should be interesting (as I love my lefties!)

Baseball game on Sunday with Karen! VERY excited for so many reasons. This is my first college baseball game. Hopefully we'll win. And hopefully...Well, I won't press my luck on that one. Karen will just have to get gutsy or it's just the two of us.

Football news...still too far away for me to be talking about it. Oh, but come August, I'll be in heaven. Or insane. Haven't figured out which! Which reminds me...My parents are soo insensitive! SO I come home from a really long day of work, and what do they have on the TV? The Recruit. And who is on the screen as we speak? That's right. Bridget Moynahan. How mean is that? And then they couldn't figure out why I was mad at them!

Ok, that's all for now! and if you can actually follow my rambling, good for you!

Exciting news?
Well, we're planning Karen's birthday celebration so if you're interested in attending, I'll keep you posted about what's going on. But let me just say...it's gonna be hot. (as our adventures always are)

In other news...the boy from Friday night actually called me today! I didn't think he was actually going to, since no one who I give my number to ever actually calls. I was really surprised! But he said he wants to do something possibly this weekend, so we shall see. But not on sunday because that is baseball day.

Fun Times...
Last night was a blast (as going out with the girlies always is!) I even got to catch the end of the Pistons game, who I am sad to say, did NOT go to work. (ok, to be fair, they did because it went into triple overtime, but they did not work HARD enough to win in the end. Which I think is a bad sign for Detroit because now, if we can't win at home and we can't win in NJ, we're done. It's over. But that's my opinion, of course.)

Baseball had an amazing victory! And the game didn't get rained out! (though the team did get rained on...Alex is still hurt which is sad, but he'll get better so I'm not worried. Tonight is the "battle of the lefties" as they said on UPN and I'm sad because I can't go to watch it live and I'll be at work, so you know we'll have pool or something stupid like that on the tvs instead of the Tigers. And even then, the sound won't be on because that would be too convienant. (Sometimes I miss Ann Arbor...)

Anyway, I would just like to say...Dave--you shouldn't be such an Ass, especially when we bring so much business to your place! (not saying that We as in us are business 'cause everything is free for us, but we bring OTHER people in who buy lots of things and you know how guys are always dying to buy us things...) And Scott, the old one, has to make up his mind! You're like 24 years old and you don't know what you want! And as for the other Scott, well, what the hell is wrong with you?!? Perhaps he's let the blond go to his head a little? Who knows. But maybe he'll get his act together!

Sports Update!
This one is BIG!!

Ok, so I went to my FIRST baseball game of the season and it was great! It was supposed to rain but it waited until the game was over (to make me happy. It has to be why) Mike Maroth, one of my lefties, pitched almost the whole game (still don't understand why they took him out for the 9th inning and replaced him with a RIGHT-HANDED pitcher!) Sadly, Alex Sanchez got hurt so he had to go out and was replaced by Bobert. But the Tigers WON!! and it was great, just great. So now I'm excited to go to my next game (hopefully with Eddie so I can watch him cry when we beat the Marlins in June!)

Sunday May 23, I will be going to the last home game for Michigan baseball (against Penn State) Hopefully Karen can come too (and karen's "friend" so hopefully she'll call. She'll just love him, I know it ;)) So if you'd like to join us, the game is at 1:00 in Ann Arbor...Let me know!!

Basketball has been scary lately. We were off to a great start but then we couldn't seal the deal in NJ, so we're back at the Palace and hopefully we can win so we'll be up 3-2 in the series! Come on boys, GO TO WORK!

NHL draft time is approaching and I looked at the prospects and I'm happy to say that I know all the Michigan boys on it and the better part, I like them all!! (yeah, that one's not on there, thankfully!) So it should be exciting. Maybe someone will go to Detroit? (I doubt it, but it could be fun) But sadly, Chris isn't in the draft, which is sad but sometimes you can't have everything. (Don't worry about Joe Pearce. He's already going to play for Tampa Bay.)

And the MOST important part: GOLF! THe Buick Open will be here in July! And I've decided that $200 is a lot of money to chance meeting Badds. So I'm taking Ryan's advice and going to the Pro Am on Wednesday so hopefully I'll get to meet him! (Badds, not Ryan.) If I decide to go to the other rounds, I'll have to figure that out, but it's not a problem. So, if you'd care to go to a golf tournament, let me know. But I have to warn you...I'll be extremely cute and extremely infatuated with an Australian so if you're going to impress me, STAY HOME

And only spending $20 on the tournament means....I CAN GET MY ZETTERBERG JERSEY! (And because hockey didn't make it to the Frozen Four, I didn't have to choose what was more important. Sometimes I'm so lucky!)

Ok, that's all for now. More later.

Today is a Black Day...
Frisky Fish died today. I know he couldn't live forever, but I figured he'd live long enough for me to not need him anymore. But that didn't happen. Did I let him down? Or maybe he just had enough? I don't know, but the aquarium seems empty without him. (and Cookie, Candi, Bunni, the two fish, Pussy Galore, and George W. miss him a lot.)

Get Out Your Coconuts...
Oh yes, I'm on a quest. A major quest. Think epic like the search for the Holy Grail. Except, I'm not looking for an object. I'm on a quest to be hot. Like beach bunny hot. It's going to be very trying, I know. But hopefully by August I will succeed in my goal.
If you thought I had "nice stems" before, ooo you're going to be so impressed! And my stomach is going to put MJ to shame. I just hope my quest won't end up like King Arthur's where he didn't really find what he was looking for. (but then again, I'm not in England and I don't know any french persons so I should be ok.)

That's all I have for now. Just advise...you can say how much I don't need this all you want, but I'm still going to do it. It's not so much what you think as it is what I think.

Just A Thought....
Maybe some of you are wondering why I've gone on boyfriend hiatus. Well, part of it is due to the fact that I'm extraordinarily picky. IT's not so much that I have high standards as it is, I know what I want. And, I don't think I should bother with something if I know, from the start, it's not what I want and it won't make me happy. Because why would you want to invest all that time and energy into a relationship that you just know is going to end anyway? (A little pessimistic, I know. But it's true. I mean, wouldn't you want to have like 3 really good boyfriends rather than 27 ex-es?) Anyway, that's not why I'm writing this. I thought I'd offer some advice for those of you who have this strong desire to get with me and be my boyfriend.
First, don't try over the summer. I know it sounds kind of strange because I have all this free time and no classes to worry about and the warm weather means I can wear cute clothes, but stop before you even start. You'll run into the same problem I have every summer. Too many people try, so them I end up dating like 4 people at the same time (not as much as Este, I know. But I'm just not as good as him.) No, that's not a bad thing at all. But when I have 4 options, I can't choose just one. Because inevitably, I wonder if I'm missing out on something from someone else by choosing just one person. And if, for some reason, I do pick just one, it's never really just that person. I'm always looking around. And wouldn't you know it, whenever it seems like you have someone, all the good ones start showing interest and how can you pass that up? Exactly. And then there's the problem (well, it's not my problem, more of yours) with the girls. If you've seen us, you realize, and I don't mean this in a conceited way, but we're hot. People like to look at us. They love to stare. As it happens, we can shut up an entire room and make them all turn their heads to where we're standing. We're just that good. True, most of the people who approach us I wouldn't be interested in anyway, but one day that could change. So with all the time I spend with SSK over the summer (especially this summer) you may want to back off.
Now, don't get discouraged. There's still hope. If you are so desperate, try me when I'm at school. BELIEVE ME, you'll probably have more success. I mean, first and foremost...have you seen Ann Arbor people? My point exactly. I have gone about three months without hearing a single compliment or nice thing. It's enough to drive a girl crazy! There are tons of times when I'm up there that all you have to do is call me beautiful and you can get pretty much whatever you want. It's really that simple. All it takes is a little attention. (and sincerity, of course. I've learned to tell what a genuine compliment and a fake one sound like) Another reason for school? I have my own place. No parents, no curfew, no roommates. Hmmm...

So that's a little advice but I'm going to leave you with a little more philosophy. Maybe it will help things. #1, you can't be jealous. Sounds simple enough but you have to realize that I'm a girl, one considered hot in some respects, who loves sports. I have a lot (and I mean mostly) guy friends. If you can't handle that or you don't like that fact that I'm out with a bunch of guys then you may have to find yourself a different girl.
#2, whatever you do, I get to do. It sounds kind of strange, but I really don't care what you do. But remember, if I let you do it, then I should be able to too. So if you want to get drunk with your friends and hook up with random chicks, then I should be able to get drunk with my girls and have fun with the random guys we meet. It's only fair. (I figure, if you're worthy enough I won't have to put that into action.)

GREAT DAY!
Karen is finally home! I'm so excited! Troy has definitely been boring without her.

Now for the serious stuff...
I went flower shopping with mum and dad today and I made them buy me strawberry plants. But that's not important. What is important is the NEW flower display we are going to have outside our house. So I guess I have to explain the exisiting part or you won't understand the new part.
(no, the chris perry-john navarre topiaries were vetoed. I'm pressing for the tom brady-bethel johnson one myself)
Last year, mum bought Marilyn Monroe roses. This year, we found JFK ones, so she bought them and is going to plant them together. But even more exciting are the ones I found.
They had Cesar Chavez roses! (but that's a little too liberal so mum vetoed.) And we found Princess Diana and Queen Elizabeth roses and we're going to get them so Winston feels at home. (and maybe he won't be so sassy for Mum)

But the best part is, I found Barbara Bush and the Reagans rose bushes so we are going to plant them outside and put little elephants around them and that is going to be the REPUBLICAN section of the yard. Complete with our W04 sign! I love it!
