Hockey AU Group-Write

@ just.add.ice @ serendipity; @ little sparrow.

Awesome update, Meg! I really wanna just Blue Skadoo into this story... I might be the only one who gets that reference seeing as I'm much older

But, yes - thank you for bringing it up, Haley. I think we should all come together at some point and discuss ideas we have. Even things that we won't necessarily be writing - i.e. what we'd like for our characters in each other's chapters. Does that make sense?

@ semisweet.

Blue Skadoo...oh my fucking god I love you

@ just.add.ice
I'm just happy you got the reference! I thought that might've been a little before your guys' time since I was a little old for that show and I've got at least 5 years on you guys.

@ semisweet.

My 5th or 6th birthday party was Blue's Clue's themed

@ just.add.ice
Haha nice. I watched that show well past an appropriate age because I had younger cousins around.

@semisweet.

I do that now with the kids in my mom's daycare.

@ just.add.ice
Sometimes I'll get my niece for a week if she's off school for break and I watch so much Spongebob that week that I just wanna murder the square yellow bastard by the end haha

@ semisweet.

Every episode I secretly wish the Map would lead Dora the Explorer off a cliff...thank god they've moved on from wanting to watch that.

@ just.add.ice
Hahaha. My niece was thankfully never into Dora. She's a little spitfire though. Such a little ham and she never stops talking. She inherited that from my brother. Gift of gab. She comes out with the funniest things sometimes. I was watching her one day and she talks so much I just needed a break so I said go watch an episode of Spongebob and then we'll do something else. Like, I just need a half hour. That half hour goes by and she comes in and says, deadpan, totally serious, "it's time for me to bother you again!" I had to laugh. It was too funny.

@ semisweet.

I can't wait until my nephew is a bit bigger, he's going to be a ham.

@ just.add.ice
Enjoy him! They grow up so fast! My brother says he doesn't want any more kids and my younger brother isn't old enough to have kids yet. But when he does, oh man are they going to be spoiled by me.

@ semisweet.

Oh yeah, I spoil my little guy rotten. Well as much as you can spoil a ten month old. Mostly clothes and toys, one really awesome mini hockey stick.

@ just.add.ice
Haha aw. I would love to take my niece to see one direction but those tickets are so expensive.

@ semisweet.

I bet! I took my guy to a Canes game He was six months old at the time, but he totally dug it. He's my hockey buddy. The first time I held him at the hospital, I was sitting in a rocking chair watching Bruins / Hawks game four.

@ just.add.ice
Aw! Unfortunately, my brother is her sports influence. So Eagles and Flyers. But when my younger brother has kids they will be be fans of my teams haha.

@ semisweet.

Yeah, he's got Canucks gear and a Preds jersey because my brother plays for a beer league team that uses Preds jerseys, but my dad and I are determined to turn him into a fan of a talented team, like Chicago or Pitt or even Boston, Flyers if my dad had any say, but he won't. Aunty Hockey will be in charge of the brain washing. Started the other night when he was over

@ just.add.ice
Hahaha. Good lord if I ever bought her any Pens gear. My brother tolerates my love for the Hawks but he will not budge at all when it comes to the Pens. He takes the Flyers/Pens rivalry very seriously.

@ semisweet.

It's going to be like that with my brother, but I'm just going to get the nephew on my side.

@semisweet. @serendipity; @little sparrow.

I think it might be better if we were able to instant message each other for our planning session. We all seem to just miss each other on here.

I set up a group chat on HipChat.

@semisweet. @serendipity; @little sparrow.

Helps if I give you the link to the actual chat. I thought that link was the right one, clearly not.
