This is it!

I've been nervous for like two days straight. I'm going to be nervous until the game is over tonight. I can't even think right now about the game. Think about Ducklings? Blank. Think about Devils? Blank. Think about what the game is going to be like? Blank. Which is, I think, just about the best state of mind to have to watch the game. :D

Either way, it's going to be a long four months until the next season starts. At least this time I know there's reading and writing fic to ease the withdrawal. I know I'm going to be weepy as hell tonight no matter who wins. If the Ducklings win, there will be like, tears for a week, lol. If the Devils win, I'll still be happy for them because I like them. Me, and three other people. ;) But I'd still cry because this is like the first full season of hockey I've followed and I'm dorky and overly sentimental like that.

From last night:

CHIP: This guy was staring at me the entire time I was showering at the gym.
MAE: Guys checking you out again, huh?
CHIP: Yes, this always happens. Maybe I should become gay. (pause) Don't quote me on that.

I have a Worst Case Scenario desktop calendar. Today's entry is:

How to Survive a Trip over a Waterfall

Take a deep breath just before going over the edge.
Go over the falls feet first.
Jump out and away from the edge of the falls just before you go over, and cover your head with your arms.
Start swimming immediately upon hitting the water, even before you surface.
Swim downstream, away from the falls.
It is essential that you avoid being trapped behind the waterfall or on the rocks underneath.

All that really did is convince me that I would never survive going over a waterfall. :)

Gah, there's no way I can go to the gym today. I'm leaving at 5 to go home and watch the game.

There's just something special about hockey. I think it's because the players have so much love for the sport (and each other). :D

He's hilarious, hehe!

If you jumped away from the falls, wouldn't you go head first?

Yeah...clearly I wouldn't survive either :)

I guess take a running jump out?

Yeah, I'll be sure to avoid situations where I have to jump off a waterfall if possible. :P

It'll go to like the fourth OT and then some plumber like Dan Bylsma will chip in the Cup-winner for the Ducks.

And I love Chip. He's a scream!

Re: You watch....

Dude, Dan Bylsma is like the hand of God on that team! :P

He's very amusing. :)

*bites nails* man, i wasn't even thinking about the game yet. now i am. eeek. i'll definitely be weepy no matter what. it's just one of those emotional occasions, no matter what happens i'll cry!

hmm...they make that sound like you're planning to goover the waterfalls, like you have time to think about "take a deep breath". like that would help, anyways. *shudders*

5 hours to go! *gets increasingly freaked out*

I guess the scenario they've envisioned is that you're threatened with imminent death, and hence would choose probable death instead.

If it makes Chip feel better, tell him they were staring past his penis and at his webbed feet.

2003-06-09 11:58 am (UTC)

I'll be sure to let him know when he gets his lazy ass in the office.

How to Survive a Trip over a Waterfall

You know... that could be a kick ass title to a story... and you could like, make every chapter title another step in how to survive...

Hmmmm... :)

2003-06-09 01:18 pm (UTC)

Ahh dude, that sounds cool! I do have an entire calendar year of these things. :)

I write fic notes on the back of the pages and bring them home with me. *giggle*

well last year I watched the Stanley Cup final on a 12 inch tv in my uncle's kitchen while everyone slept, so this year at least I will be comfortable.

I will die if there is sexonice in this game like that game. If there is I nominate Stevie Tomas.

*hopes*

2003-06-09 04:29 pm (UTC)

*shrieks* Sexonice! Petr leaps a lot, so it's likely that he'd be a participant in sexonice. I mean, there's an alarming number of players smaller than him on the team, so it's likely that the leaped-on would be knocked on and then they would roll and ...

Uhh, sorry.
