Jun. 5th, 2008 09:20 pmThis is me, sitting in my living room, freezing, feeling...odd, and not wanting to go pick up the pink room, because then I'll have to remember that Andrew was here last night, and now he's gone. :(
(Sidebar: if you aren't going to want to hear about how crazy I am about Andrew, you'd do well to stop reading this journal for the foreseeable future. He makes me so happy, and I'm going to talk about it.)
Anyways, in lieu of doing something useful, I'm going to babble!

Oct. 30th, 2007 05:53 pmHere's a query: what, exactly, is a savage garden?
In other news, I had a free taco today, courtesy of Taco Bell, the Boston Red Sox, and Jacoby Ellsbury.
I'm not a huge taco fan, but as Jenn said, it's better cause it's free. And it was.
Actually, I was surprised there weren't more people there. It's the only Taco Bell around here.. Maybe we were early? They were moving pretty fast too. That may have been it. People didn't have time to accumulate.
I feel bad for all those of you in Rutland who could not experience the joy of free taco day. But I'm glad that I was up here for it, cause we have a Taco Bell.
In conclusion: YAY TACOS!

Good game everyone. I'm really glad it went to seven. Made it more exciting.
There were some nerve-wracking points tonight... Oh God, there were some classic Red Sox plays... Like the not catching of the ball in left. And the not-turning of that one double play.
But then you have Pedroia's home run, Youk's one off the Coke bottles, Crisp's running catch for the win... Also classic Red Sox. I heart my boys.
Dustin is my homeboy. And Jacoby is Emily's.
Gah. It's 12:30, I have Orgo in the morning, and I really need to go to bed. But WOOT! On to the World Series!

Oct. 19th, 2007 08:52 amDon't count us out just yet...
Cause now it's back to Fenway, and there's nothing like screaming fans to help your hitters... hit.
Honestly, I'd like to see it go to seven games cause it's just more exciting that way. Even if we don't win game seven, at least we forced seven games.

Oct. 15th, 2007 08:38 pmSo, the announcer/commentator guy on the Red Sox vs. Indians game said "In the second inning, the Red Sox had the bases loaded and no outs and they didn't score," as though this was a surprise.
Honey, that's standard Red Sox procedure.
They're currently losing 4-0. Which is also classic Red Sox. Though Pedroia did just make a beautiful leaping throw.

Thank you, Jorge Posada.
Of course, the irony of this situation is that, come Friday, I'll be hoping that the Indians lose. But that's then and this is now and I'm happy for them at the moment, and even if they do beat the Red Sox, they're still not the Yankees.
Also, if they go on and the Red Sox don't, at least Trot will have made it to the World Series.

10 Things About Baseball's Post-season
Oct. 7th, 2007 07:13 pm1. The Red Sox swept the Angels, and now I'm watching the Yankees/Indians game to see who they're going to play next. Yay Red Sox! Though I do feel bad for the Angels getting beat three games in a row. It really must suck to make it all the way to the post-season, only to be eliminated right away.
2. Here's a phrase I never thought I'd hear: "The Red Sox's pitching was utterly dominant." If you've been a Red Sox fan for as long as I have, you'll understand why.
3. Why is Dane Cook doing the ads for the post-season? Is he a big baseball fan?
4. The Yankees make me laugh. Jeter threw ridiculously far from first base last inning, causing Giambi to leap ungracefully and fall on his ass. And Roger just almost knocked his own hat off.
5. Oddly enough though, I like Derek Jeter. He seems like a nice guy. He went on SNL and made fun of himself, and wore a dress. I don't however like A-Rod, or Traitor Damen.
6. The announcers also said that Steinbrener has said that if the Yankees don't win this series, Torre's not coming back next season. OH SNAP.
7. The Indians just made their second double play in as many innings. I kind of heart them right now.
8. Is it just me, or are all the Indians really young? All their players are like, younger than 30.
9. Except Trot. My Trot plays for Cleveland now, and the announcers called him "the most experienced hitter versus Roger Clemens." (Cause the Red Sox play the Yankess A LOT.) He then proceeded to hit a homerun off Roger. Heh.
10. I bet Trot hopes the Indians win, so he can go play in Boston. I bet he misses his teammates. I bet he's looking forward to going out drinking with Manny and Ortiz and the rest again. I would be. They seem like fun guys.

May. 28th, 2006 11:15 pmSo my family and I went to the Red Sox/Devil Rays game today for Vermont Day and because it was my parents' anniversary.
Now, anyone who either watched the game or is a Red Sox fan will understand what I am about to say.
They won, but just barely. They tried very hard to lose. To TAMPA BAY of all people. Tampa Bay SUCKS.
Wakefield pitched. Eight perfect, scoreless innings. Going into the 9th inning, it's 5-0 Red Sox. The new pitcher, S-something, gets two outs. The ENTIRE CROWD is on its feet, cheering and clapping for the last out and first Red Sox shut out.
And he walks the batter.
That's not so bad, man on first, we can deal with that.
Then he walks the next batter. And the next one. And the next one. Now he's walked home a run.
At this point, Terry Francona finally gets his head out of his ass and puts in a new pitcher, Tavores or something like that. He technically strikes a guy out, but Mirabelli drops the third strike and the guy gets to first and it's now 2-5 Red Sox and the bases are loaded it's not looking good.
And T-whatever, walks home another run.
The crowd starts to get ugly now. It's the ninth inning, it's boiling hot, we're all on our feet, we don't know who these pitchers are, we were winning by a lot and now, not so much, we only need one more out, and Francona keeps this asshole in.
The crowd gets even uglier, and starts chanting "We want Paplebon." (I sat down at this point, because I couldn't bear to watch anymore.)
The Tampa Bay batter finally hit a pitch, and even though he got on and another run scored, the Red Sox somehow managed to make an out and win 5-4.
Let's recap: Ninth inning, Tampa Bay has no runs and 2 outs. Red Sox lead 5-0. End of the game, Red Sox win 5-4. What's wrong with this picture?
Ah, but they wouldn't be the Red Sox if they DIDN'T play like that. Idiots.
Trot did well though. Even got the first Red Sox hit of the game. YAY TROT!
Final thought: There's nothing like watching a baseball game live. It's just way more engaging than when it's on tv. The energy, the cheering, the food, the wave, the sweat, the sound a bat makes when it hits a ball, the way the crowd oohs and ahhhs, the wafting smell of hot dogs and peanuts... It's something everyone should experience.

May. 22nd, 2006 08:02 pmMy first real day of work was today.
I filed.
It was kind of nice actually. I like organizing things, and I like feeling accomplished. All I really wanted was my headphones, so I could be listening to something while I alphabetized invoices.
Anywho, nothing major is planned between now and Sunday, when I'm going to the Red Sox game, just hanging out with some people...
Yeah, ok, my life is dull.
In other news IT'S STILL FUCKING RAINING! ENOUGH ALREADY!

Comment, critique, compliment, tell me: did the point come through clearly? I'll probably have handed it in by the time I get any comments, but I'll appreciate it just the same.

Oct. 17th, 2005 05:39 pmLast night I opened my door and there was David Ortiz.
Ok, so it wasn't really him, but it was a girl carrying a life-size cardboard cut-out of him, so that's close enough right?
Maggie ran in here today (apparantly she is having issues with some guy named Dustin) grabbed Cinzia and went "Question: Who is the sketchiest person on the planet? Answer?" and Cinzia goes "Dustin."
My first and immideate thought was "she has obviously not met Phil."
In order to make Great Russians more interesting, the class has begun using double entendres because our teacher doesn't quite grasp all the beautiful subtleties of the English language. I swear they must be doing it on purpose, because no one can keep a straight face when they do.
Examples:
They tease him because he's not straight.
He cuts lots of grass. In fact the whole chapter is about grass.
Ahhh.
Going to see Much Ado About Nothing at 7. YAY FOR SHAKESPEARE!

Megan's Sunday, in Three Easy Steps:
Oct. 9th, 2005 11:59 pm1. Watched Fever Pitch with Mom and Dad today. Loved it. There's nothing like Jimmy Fallon, the Red Sox, and a good love story to make a girl happy.
"He became one of the most pathetic creatures on Earth; a Red Sox fan."
If you can't admit and appreciate that, then you haven't been a Sox fan for very long. That's all I have to say. (That and THE YANKEES ARE GOING DOWN. GO ANGELS!)
2. Went to see Wallace and Grommit, Curse of the Were-Rabbit also with Mom and Dad. Thought of Hannahmylove while ordering tickets, and Ryan Rainville every time cheese was mentioned. (He used to look at my in Physics at least once a week and go "We'll go where there's cheese Grommit!")
Were some very very very suggestive bits in it for a G-rated movie. The part where Lady Whatsername describes the silken flesh of her prized carrot, ending with, "Just imagine how it would taste!" for example. Yeah.
I should not be allowed to see children's movies. But really, I don't think I'm making that into more than it was meant to be. A little smutty humor for the parents, I think. (As was the scene where she was holding two melons in front of her chest and saying that Victor didn't have any interest in her produce.)
3. Kidnapped/rescued Emalee and had roast pork dinner and ice cream. Mmmmmm.
Yeah. It was a nice relaxing family bonding Sunday.
P.S. I want a bunny.

Sep. 30th, 2005 11:56 pmI don't know quite what I expected from the Red Sox/Yankees rivalry dance, but I didn't get it.
(That's Megan code for the dance sucked.)
Dancing: When does it stop being fun and start being gang rape? (You never though you'd have to ask that question, did you? Me neither.)
Two guys brought Kelsey back a few minutes ago. Totally trashed. Great.
But the Red Sox won, so they're now tied for first place. Yay!
I left the dance when it occured to me that I could be here, reading fanfiction, instead of there, wishing I was here, reading fanfiction.
Bring on the puppy love!

Can ya tell I'm happy?

Oct. 12th, 2004 08:11 pmMy dress for senior prom has come, and it is BEAUTIFUL! It is nothing like the dress I had last year, which was like Cinderella's, and it's short and dark blue, and wispy and just HOT! And it makes me look sexy, and it's even better than anything because I KNOW FOR A FACT that Phil would love to see me it it (or, more accurately, out of it) AND HE CAN'T! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA-fickety-HA! Am I enjoying this too much? I don't think so.
Also, have just seen an add for the Red Sox-Yankees game, that was all Star Warsish and made Don Zimmer into the Emperor, saying "Can't we all just get along?" This has made my night.
GO RED SOX!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Have just returned from a lovely trip to Boston to see the Red Sox game. They beat Tampa Bay 8-4. Go Red Sox!!! Anyways, I am now full of funny sayings that Red Sox fans put on their T-shirts. Some I remember...
Yankees Suck
Jeter Swallows
A-hole
Gay-rod
Yankee Hater
I support two teams; the Red Sox, and whoever beats the Yankees
Posada is a little bitch (I don't understand this one)
And two that had pictures of Johnny Damon and his long hair and beard. One said WWJD? The Passion of Johnny, and the other said Johnny is my homeboy. I laughed quite a bit.
Also this guy was selling food in the street and he was yelling "What do you need? We got it! Whatever you need!" and this guy walking by goes "I need a trip to Tahiti!"
I love Red Sox fans.
Finally, today we drove all over Massachusetts and New Hampshire looking for a Bob's store cause Mom wanted to go to one. We finally found one at like 4 o'clock, and we'd been looking since 11. So then we went to the Weathervane for dinner, and our waiter's name was... Bob! I looked at him and just lost it. I don't think he liked me very much.
