how rad is hockey? men on ice skates beating the hell out of each other with sticks - why am i just now discovering this sport? my sports pr class went to a kings game tonight and so i got to watch my first live hockey match from the press box. any game in which a viable means of defense is throwing your body onto the ice and using it as a barricade between the puck and the goal wins an instant place in my cold, cold heart.

sadly, the kings lost, but i did get to hear my instructor make a fat joke about my arch-nemesis in the class ("squeeze in! there's room for at least two more on this elevator - not you, ethan!"), so the night was harldy a loss. also, the walk home from the staples center to my friend's house provoked this conversation:

me: see that building down there? the one with the pointed windows? that's my favorite building in this whole city. i like to pretend that wendy darling lives there.
cindy and josh: who?
me (stopping dead in my tracks, jaw dropped): what?!?
cindy: seriously, who is that?
me: you ever heard of a little tale called peter fucking pan?!?!

also, is it really sick that girls my age are so into weddings, or is it just a natural thing we do? in the past three days i've heard the phrases "white gold and princess cut" and "burgundy is a gorgeous color for a winter wedding" fall from my lips with unsettling ease. aw, who am i kidding. i don't really care if it's weird or not. it's important stuff.

i haven't had any good blogs in a while and i think it's because i've lost my daily planner. you know, the keeper of my ENTIRE LIFE. i've completely stopped doing homework because i don't know when anything's due, and i don't use the phone since i have no numbers to call. so, if anyone finds a white planner with a picture of london on the front, please return it to me for the reward of one million dollars.

let it be known that mike, lindy and my (and now the rest of the robot house) second annual halloween party was a rousing success. the costumes were plentiful (of course that fucker dustin won the costume tiara again. how can you compete with a costume that is electrically wired? he was the best robot ever. although i have to say the costume that provoked the most emphatic "shut up!" from me when i saw it was my friend ben's michael eisner [he wore an angels cap and a mickey mouse shirt.] i think i just enjoy anything poking fun at that lecherous bastard), as was the bean dip (our friend kyla dove on it upon entering the house and didn't move until it was gone fifteen minutes later). but i feel like this quote from my senior r.a. and friend joe lajos really sums it up:

shannon, i just want to say again what a great party that was! this is how you can tell, too: i went upstairs to use the bathroom and there was a line, and i was waiting and waiting and waiting, and i'm thinking man, someone's taking a huge shit, and i'm waiting and waiting, and out comes this guy and this girl, and i was like, fuck yeah!

we own this holiday.

for more info check out lindy's roundup, brian's or the robot house website for photos.

p.s. charlotte - your belly was cute and you are rad because you know who sydney bristow is. don't go back to england. ever.
p.p.s. whoever stole the costume contest tiara from on top of the coffee maker, and thus dustin's rightful place on the throne - run. for when i find you i will make you pay.

happy halloween.
