Addyliners / Comments

Ahhh - thank you so much for the comment on Together We'll Fly, Addy! I honestly should have done my research a bit before typing up that chapter *face palm*.. I tweaked it a bit and changed the setting from Whistler to Vancouver - and the bar from Merlins to a pub named Doolin's. Thanks again! It'll make things easier for me not constantly be writing ~the players took a 2 hour cab to the arena and back~ hahah :DD

PS - I am so envious of you! I live in Toronto and Young street was pretty nuts when Sid scored the goal, but nothing compares to being in actual city of Vancouver that day, or for those two weeks. :)

Aw Iggy has a kid? Hmm, didn’t know that, but I guess it’s not much of a surprise. Now that I think of it, if the Staals don’t want me, perhaps there’s a plan B here…Penner seems to have found his offensive groove in LA. Thus far anyway. Perhaps it’s the warm air. What Euro Mafia? You mean Omark and Paajarvi pimping around Edmonton with their meatball subs? They’ve got a pretty Canadian team there, don’t they? Lappy could be such a good player if he’d just cut the chirping by half. However, I think there is a place in the league for instigators. Cough, cough, PK. Every team needs that guy to annoy the hell out of the opposition.

Haha, I love The Fratellis! But I understand your pain, no worries. This year I’m rooting for you guys all the way; I’m not a fan of repeat champions. It ain’t the pre-expansion era anymore. Schenn is a warrior and definitely one of my favourite players in Toronto. Komi’s too much of a pussy to block shots/make the big hits and Phaneuf has long lost his mojo since the days of the DOUBLE DION. I’m never going to let that one go. What is this 2012 Leafs thing you speak of? And how come I don’t know about it? Seeing our recent play I think we’re pretty much done for this season. I think it’s stupid to play Reimer every game, no matter how fantastic he is. He hasn’t been great these past few games and I think the kid just needs to take a hike. Let Giggy play! He isn’t crippled.

Sharpy! Seabs! Keith! Even after their post-Cup garage sale their roster’s still stacked. To be honest, I’ve never really liked Patrick Kane. Dunno why, he’s a sick player and all, but by far the best thing about him was his mullet. And now that’s gone. I call him Fuzzy Peach; the kid can’t grow facial hair if his life depended on it. And Sharpy is pretty sexy. In his Thunder-Bay-boyish way. A little shallow tangent by me. Koivu was awesome with Montreal. I know I’m not supposed to like the Habs, hence the rivalry, but I can’t help cheering for my boy, Price. And Patches! Oh-my-effing-Chara. I’d never took him for a dirty player, but it’s not like he didn’t see that glass there. And no suspension? It’s like he got away with murder. It’s official: Gary Bettman is an ignorant dumbshit who doesn’t know fuck about hockey. I nominate Pierre McGuire to take his place.

I feel like I’m always zoning out, no matter wherever I am; I find my mind wanders a lot…don’t ask where…I’m not too much of a gossip bird, but I hear things through the grapevine. I’m not always talkative and people mistake that for my being shy, but as I like to say,” I’m not anti-social, I just don’t like you.” March Break is almost here! Hit me with a slice of freedom, please!

Electronic checkers? That’s so technologically advanced. To me there’s nothing better than a little old school cheapskate-ness.

Me too! Iggy does have a super contagious smile and his “sm’izing” would make Tyra Banks jealous. Honestly I didn’t know Penner was worth that much. Still, it’s nice to see players that I like go off to better organizations that are still making playoffs. I’ll miss you Kaberle! I feel bad for Magnus Paajaarvi though; I wonder if Teubert’s going to bump him out from his spot in the three musketeers. Maybe they can do rotations? I think Lappy could be a good fit for Vancouver. Y’all could use someone like him. If he can stay clean, that is.

Would that “certain team” be Blackhawks in the conference semis? Does it still hurt? It’s about time history is changed, though. No offence taken, but for the first time in a while there seems to be life in the city, pertaining to the Leafs. I think Schenner said it best; usually this time of year we’re already thinking forwards to the next season (next year’s going to be the year!) or conspiring plans to play spoiler for the teams that are in a playoff showdown, so this is a nice change of pace, no matter the outcome. Even if by miracle of chance we somehow sneak into the playoffs like by winning a shootout a la Philly, I doubt it’ll amount to anything. Leafs are barely hanging on to playoff hopes and saying that we need a few bounces to go our way is an understatement. Like, if the opponent’s team bus bounces off an overpass we could probably pick up a point.

Don’t worry; after last night’s game I’m all aboard the Chicago hate-train. Sometimes Toews can be so incredibly aggravating. One minute he’s taking care of Carolina for us, the next he’s putting pucks behind Reimer. Not sure if I should feel like giving him a high-five or a stake in the eye. I understand why you’d hate the Hawks, but why the Flyers? Sure, their fans are obnoxious, but I have to say, their roster is stacked. I didn’t really like them until after watching Cabbie’s Journey to the Cup. They may be the Broadstreet Bullies on the ice, but in reality they’re just a bunch of regular kids. And Hartnell is a Dakota Fanning fan. Wouldn’t have thought that, eh?

I don’t know if we’ll ever meet in person, but you seem like a pretty cool person. Sometimes it’s nice just venting to a (sort of) stranger about the most random things. I was going to suggest stop, drop, and roll, but whichever works for you. And if you need help taking care of certain people, I got your back. Hint, hint.

Really? I would think that a major city like Vancouver would’ve been colonized by the mouse. Most TTC drivers are alright, but some are pretty awful. You know, the texting and impatient-while-I-count-my-change ones. They don’t check our tickets or tokens on buses; we just drop it into a box, which is why it’s so easy to rip them off. We don’t have any security guards here. The only thing guarding subway stations is a large flock of pesky pigeons.

I think that they finally got it right in 2010 because while there was that key veteran prescence, most of the offense was powered by young exciting players. Except for Iggy. I swear he doesn’t age. Last year when they engraved the Cup they spelled Versteeg “Vertseeg”. I guess they noticed the mistake and just punched the right letters over it, which is why his name now POPs. I was going to skip the afternoon because mornings are always slow, but in the end I just trudged on to math class. It was a pretty inactive day, I have to say. I guess the asking prices were probably too high and with so many teams in a close knit playoff race, you don’t want to really want to shake up the lineup too much. The most interesting trade to me was the Penner one. I can’t believe they got so much out of LA for him. Edmonton may be shit now, but I can’t wait to see what happens once their young core of players grow and improve. Now that they have Teubert (Eberle+Teubert=awesome) and 2 first picks in the upcoming draft, I’d say they’re well on their way to rebuilding a fine team. I curious to see how Lapierre would fit in. I used to like him, but lately not so much. And thank God Toronto got something for John Mitchell. I mean a 7th round pick has more potential than him.

Seriously, don’t even talk. If Canucks fans are worried, imagine what’s going on in Leafsland. To be honest I doubt we’ll get in the playoffs, but it’s nice to be unrealistically optimistic. You guys have like 10 points on 3rd place; I wouldn’t worry much if I were you.

Do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-doooo! I love Chelsea Dagger. Promise you won’t kill me if I tell you I’m a Hawks fan and was rooting for them last year? *Hides under a rock*
I’m always saying stupid stuff like that and my friends make fun of me for it all the time. I hate drama and I don’t like to get caught up in it. That’s why I’m so out of the loop and when my peers gossip about whatever I’m always lost. I hope your grad goes well. And if not then, you know the drill….

Haha, that sounds like my math teacher. I wasn’t lying when I said I’m très petite, but dude, she barely comes up to my ears. There’s no way that woman is anywhere near the realm of 5 ft & over. Not that I’m hating on the short; they’re my own people after all, but as a teacher, isn’t there something degrading about having to crane your neck all the way back in order to just make out the southern hemisphere of a student’s face? I’d say all supremacy is lost.

You guys don’t have Chuck E. Cheese?? Man, it was like my second home growing up as a snot-faced child in the suburbs. So many memories there. But yeah, the tokens are relatively the same size/colour and drivers don’t even look, so you could probably get away with dropping anything round and small. It depends on the driver, but from what I’ve observed, no one really takes their shitty job too seriously. Not hating on drivers either, but they have got to stop threatening to strike every other day. It makes commuters go nuts. Oh, and I always use expired transfers. Sometimes you find gifts among the cigarettes and chunks of roadkill that litter our unkempt streets and when that happens you’ve just got to wave that golden ticket with pride and sprint like a gazelle, hurdling over barbed wire and small dogs like a champ, towards the 38 pulling up around the corner. Victory.

I kinda like the new mitts. You know I just discovered the other day that if you put them together, side by side, it makes a COMPLETE maple leaf. How amazing is that? You know what they say, two halves make a whole…’06 was disgrace beyond belief. I can’t believe Gretzky passed up Crosby for Todd Bertuzzi. I know you’re not crazy about him, but 87 is the atomic number for gold. Just sayin’.

If Dan and Jay, break up, Leafs will probably win the Stanley Cup. And we all know that’s not gonna happen for A WHILE. Speaking of the Cup, I went to the HHOF recently and the Versteeg name mistake? Totally noticeable. Just a little something I found amusing. WHAT DANCE? HOW DID I MISS THAT? Guess who’s calling in sick come Monday…In full honestly, you guys are so far ahead that you can lose the rest of the season and probably still make the playoffs. I agree, man; Canada needs a championship team and Rogers Arena needs some embellishment. Plus, it looks like Chicago is in the thick, so maybe you won’t have to worry about that hearing that Chelsea Dagger this year.

My life is pretty drama-free. Kinda boring, some would say, but I’m content with it. Drama is not my expertise. What’s going on with you? Things rocky in the mountains? Sorry for being a dork, but I had to. Like you once wrote: Ignorance is bliss. :)

Math this semester is killiiiing me. You know when you said “wait till math-life depends on triangles”? IT IS HERE AND IT IS FRIGHTENING. I was sick pretty much all last week and I just did the make up test yesterday. It wasn’t a pretty sight. I swear whoever discovered all these math equations and shit should be stoned with protactors. My English teacher is a self-proclaimed nerd. Just the sheer joy on her face when we’re discussing comma splices or transitional phrases is priceless. I hate most subs that fill in for teachers long term. They’re all pushovers or insane.

I will NEVER lose my tokens. Maybe pennies or wet wipes, but my tokens I guard with my life. Metropasses last a month I believe. I’ve never bought one; don’t see the point. I’ve never sneaked on, but that’s because I still feel guilty for all those times I substituted Chuck E. Cheese tokens or how I used kids tickets up until last year. What can I say, the pros of being short and flat chested are endless.

I will get into the fam one way or another. I think all cookie cutter whitebread families should get an Asian adoptee. It can be like remuneration for internment, head taxes, and proxy wars all those years ago. PLEASE TAKE ME. And once I’m in, you can bet your ass I’ll intoduce you. You know I think the best athem would’ve simply been a long drawn-out symphony of tooting vuvuzelas. I think the mittens were sold out in Toronto weeks before the actual event. I remember going to Zellers and begging, but no avail…I have the new ones, but they’re just not the same. I can’t believe it’s been a year since the games. I think it was then that I started to really get into hockey. It was the best Olympics ever. Well, the best since our “triumph in Torino” in ’06. At least we beat Italy.
Dan and Jay should be together forever. They’re like Ron Mclean and Don Cherry, PB and J, Ross and Rachel, Batman and Robin, Na and Cl, and so on…The point is they make a fricking great television duo. Oh it was 110 mph not km/h. I’m just so used to metric figures. We’re only 6 points back now I believe. Unfortunately I just checked out our March schedule and it is BRUTAL. I’d say there’s an 81% chance that we won’t make the playoffs, but if the players say they believe then I’ll give them the benefit of the doubt and cheer them on like I’ve been doing all my life. And what about these blockbuster trades leading up to the deadline? It’s like all the GMs are trying to get ahead of the pack and have all their player shopping done in advance to avoid the deadline bloodbath. I have a feeling Tradecentre’s going to be pretty tame this year with tumbleweeds rolling awkwardly across the background. We can always talk about head shots! There has been a lot of injuries, eh? Orpik is the latest victim I believe. Shame. At least Vancouver’s beginning to recover. I hope you guys go far this year.

thank you sooooo much for all your comments on my story! and also thank you for offering to translate french for me! I will definitely take you up on that later!

He is.

Yeah, but I think I just update at the wrong times lol. Usually when I update, it's late at night. No one is on to see it on the story page.

His name is actually where I got her name, haha.
That man is sex. Especially in The Tudors.

Thanks for the comment :]
Seems like you're the only one who likes the story xD.

Truer words have never been spoken. :P

Ugh, I know right? The Pens/Isles game last night looked somehwhat familiar to the Boston/Montreal game Wednesday, minus a goalie fight. :P

Montreal has been posted in Countless Miles! :)

Thanks for commenting on She Is Love, even though you didn't have to :].

Thanks for commenting on Liquid Lust, to keep you updated four people have commented so far, so you need one more person to comment and VIOLA! I will update. :)

your layout is so cute! :3

Oh I forgot: http://dakinkintheice.blogspot.com/
I swear you and my bro will be the only ones reading this. :P

Sorry, second semester just started and it’s getting surprisingly stressful already. Now I have to dig out ye old scribbled notes and try to make sense of the slopes, pythagorean, and everything else I FAILED AT. Yikes, and we’re still on review. I really like my English teacher this semester actually. For the first time since elementary school it’s not an a) overly hormonal pregnant lady, b) delusional media student, or c) frustrated writer with issues. Nice to have my favourite subject back. Skinner is cute, but in a little kid kind of way. If I ever meet him in person you’ll have to restrain me from petting his pretty Bieber locks.

I don’t want necessarily want to drive a car either, but even though I live in the city, it’s closer to the suburbs and a real pain in the ass trying to get around on foot, expecially in winter. Like, in the summer I don’t mind walking long distances to save my bus tokens, but lately I haven’t been feeling like leaving the house at all. Mother nature hates me. TTC tokens are 2.75, generally and a metropass is over a hundred. I guess it’s not SO bad, but when you’re a non-driver like me, it adds up.

I seriously want to be a Staal; I can be the Asian adopted sister or something. That’s why they’re awesome! I’m telling you the World Cup wouldn’t have been the same without vuvuzelas. Authentic South African culture. I’m gonna get my hands on one of those bad boys one way or other. I missed out on Olympic mittens, but no way am I letting this slip by me. 2010 was a great year in sports, eh? I feel nolstalgic.

Guess who’s back? Dan and Jay together again. My mornings are once again complete. Lol he was away so long you would’ve thought he had the baby. Did you see the KHL skills comp hardest shot? 110 km/h no joke. Chara’s got catching up to do. Hey, good news: Leafs are within 7 points of the playoffs! Unfortunately that’s also the bad news. If only we got that extra point tonight, if only. I felt like Beauchemin’s missing presence was very noticeable. Not a good thing. Lupul was fine and Kessel got a point again. Nothing impressive compared to the Habs-Bruins game last night. What game? It was like something out of UFC and the Price-Thomas spoof of the DiPietro-Johnson saga was pretty funny. Oh Carey Price, always has to be the funny guy. First the pose-off, now this, what am I going to do with him?

Haha, I'm glad someone got my humor :P i thought it was pretty funny when I wrote it :P Peyton/Mike backstory will come...eventually. ;)

Haha, sorry. Well here’s the last bit of my exceedingly long rant:
The Ovie thing was hilarious, I bet he posted the pic on his blog. Kessel’s popularity just raised tenfold in Russia. Skinner! With his little man suit, he almost looked 15, almost. But then he smiled and the years rewinded.
Can’t wait for skills comp! Chara’s slapshot’s gonna windburn everyone in the lower bowl. And singe off a couple eyebrows, too. As my dear friend Pierre would say, there’s velocity and then there’s Zdeno Chara velocity. Please, an aging Gretzky could take down any player any day. One look at him and his opponents will be blinded by the records and hardware.

Anyways, I cannot wait to get my license. I hate having to take the TTC everywhere; bad service, ridiculously overpriced, and Dundas station is a shithole, no lie. How’s public transit in BC and how often do you take it, if at all? I like Apples to Apples, but you have to have a lot of people for it to be fun. And of course, CA$H N’ GUN$! Styrofoam gun=optimal fun in a box. If you haven’t played it, imma fedex that shit to you. Because I care. Dragon’s Den is great, but I only watch it when I can. Some of the products are absolute crap though. I was watching a snippet of 1G5G during the day, where it’s censored. I never stay up to watch TV, lol. Not worth the effort to me.

Marc and Marc are long lost twins, I called it. Although, I think Kennedy is the slightly older one. It’s the shape of their face, I think. Kinda freaky. I was seriously planning on buying a pair of those, because I have a feeling guys will just flock to me like moths to a flame in them. But then I realized that would make somebody a little jealous, so..no. Biggest regret of my life. I will track a pair down, just watch me. And I still need to get a vuvuzela. When I was at the Top Prospects game a dude in the section next to me had one and I’ll admit I was pretty jealous. They must sell them somewhere…Haha, I’ve always had a special place in my heart reserved for my ginger loving.

Grrr, Marty St. Louis. I wonder if the players heard it too. The thing with Duthie is that he’s just so lame, yet loveable. Kinda like your dad, in a way. Isn’t O’Toole still on maternity, I mean paternity, leave? Feels like I haven’t seen him in a while. Duthie and him are hilarious together. Best thing in the morning. Dayum, I skipped the pre-draft show and all the breaks. Two orgasms, that’s like A DOUBLE MCGUIRE!!!! I’ll never forget Tokarski’s save. I would’ve liked to see him host the draft, creep out the players with a little vintage Pierre (Byfuglien…Dustin Byfuglien….hehehe). As always, I liked the skills comp. Watching Thomas and Ward go at it was amazing and with that little tumble he presented his entry for highlight of the weekend, at least for me. Letang’s backward skating is just askdjfnkljk. I died a little on the inside, watching him. I’ll never be able to do that, not in this life. The breakaway challenge was underwhelming. Perry’s lacrosse thing was mildly impressive, but Fleury stole the show. My favourite was the relay and team Lidstrom was so good! I gotta say I’m sold on Tazer again. Only minor error was I think Duchene on the puck handling. Great time, nonetheless. As I predicted, Chara wins hardest shot, again. For a second I thought Weber was going the dethrone the Goliath, but nice try. I have more to say, but I’m just gonna stop right here because I don’t wanna get cut off again, lol. I made a blog, Da Kink in the Ice. Haven’t posted anything, but I will eventually…Oh yeah, we had a snow day today. Awesome! But considering all the warning and last minute emergency run to the grocery store last night, I was a bit disappointed this morning. The snow wasn’t even that bad. Still a lot to shovel, but whether it warranted a snow day, the verdict’s still out. I’m just happy we got one anyways.

I think we’ll get the results mid next week, but I’m gonna seriously use these couple days to catch up on sleep. I’m starting to look like a zombie. Not cute. I guess that’s one of the cons to the semester system. Last year 2nd semester I had no close friends in any of my classes, except for gym. I guess it forces you to socialize and make friends, but I did miss my buddies. Math hurts my brain so much. I don’t even know how I got through it last year, I swear I learned nothing in that class; all that pythagorean shtuff my brain cannot register. I tried to switch out of art for business, but lady in student services won’t let me; the class is full or something. Oh well. Procrastination is a beautiful thing. Some of my smartass friends give me disapproving looks while I put together projects during DEAR (yup, we still have that everyday), but in my defence some of my best works have been done at 7 am, right before breakfast. You ignore the coffee stain.

Did you hear Matt Duchene make Survivor and Bachelor references back to back? Boy needs to watch better shows, come on. I’m bad at gaming, but I’m pretty lucky. When we play Mario Kart I honestly just press random buttons and I usually win my matches. I’m gonna make a fine driver one day. I like some board games, but I hate Monopoly. That game just goes on and on. That’s how you know we live in a capitalist country, even childhood entertainment has to do with money and real estate. I always get crappy hands at cards, but I work with it. I don’t PVR, but I do watch online. I love Big Bang Theory. And Dragon’s Den, weirdly enough. Ha! 1G5G on MTV? It’s a very interesting show. I was watching it once and my mom was with me and she was like why’s there so much bleeping, I can’t tell what they’re saying. That is the point, mommy.

Hey, if hopscotch was an Olympic sport, it would seriously up my odds of being a gold medalist. Curling is like one of my favourite sports to watch, as nerdy as it seems. HAAARD. Marc Kennedy always reminds me of Marc Staal for some reason. And it’s not just the name. Those guys aside though, curling is not a sport I watch for the eye-candy. Cuz, um Koe and Martin….just..no. The Norweigan curling pants were kinda hot, though. I’d jump any guy wearing those. Lol I watched 24/7 only because it was recommended for me on youtube. Not a bad show. Omg the Winter Classic was so underwhelming. The ice sucked and it was all rainy. No need for zamboni man. Oh Bettman, there’s a reason hockey belongs up north. I’m a huge X-game fan (Toutant=♥). Shaun White really impressed me at the Olympics. And have I told you I’m kinda big on gingers?

Now onto the All Star draft. I was kinda underwhelmed to be honest. I think that the two captains were too classy for it to be really entertaining. I would’ve liked to see Lidstrom break up team Carolina, I mean Staal, or take Marc, just to see what would happen. Good on him for splitting the Sedins though. I hated how the mics picked everything up, like team Lidstrom especially, would just give away their picks like Byfuglien, Sharp, and Weber. Am I the only one who noticed that? And Jame Duthie, really? If you’re going for melodramatic and sarcastic there are better guys in the field, say Jay Onrait or Gerry Dee or even Cabbie (Marilyn sucks, go beg for your job back at theScore please). And if you’re really ballsy you could go with McGuire, who is thoroughly entertainly and borderline creepy, we’ve established. Take notes Shanahan. I think it’s a good idea, though. Better than east v. west for sure. I liked seeing Toews squirm a bit, I liked how Kaner paused before he said Sharp, just to toy with him, kinda like Eric with Lundqvist. Did you see Letang tripping on the stairs? Kessel can drive that new Honda (official car of underachievers) back home to Boston for all I care. Hey he should also do a charitable thing and donate that 20 grand to Komi’s future bail bond. Honestly that didn’t surprise me. He was probably last in every mock draft leading up to the day. Poor guy. The Ovie thing was hilarious, I bet he posted it on his blog. Kessel’s popularity just raised tenfold in Russia. Skinner! With his little man suit, he almost looked 15, almost. But then he smiled and the years rewinded.

Can’t wait for skills comp! Chara’s slapshot’s gonna windburn everyone in the lower bowl. And singe off a couple eyebrows. As my dear friend Pierre would say, there’s velocity and then there’s Zdeno Chara velocity. Please, an aging Gretzky could take down any player any day. One look at him and his opponents will be blinded by the records and hardware.

Why are you so wonderful? Thank you so much for that comment! It means so much to me that you liked it. I'm glad it appealed to you in an emotional way instead of only in an entertainment sort of way. I love fluff and love and romance, but I really wanted to get out of that and write something a little deeper, where the villain, much like you said, isn't a person, it's just...life. I was unsure how people would like this story, a) because it's a flyer's story (and everyone seems to hate the flyers) and b) it's not that typical love story.

Anyways, I'm glad you liked it, and your comment meant a lot to me :)
