A sad, but strangely happy dream...
I've been pretty fed up with people at school. Sometimes, they're so noisy and annoying that I can't even concentrate on my work. Last week, I kept thinking about my old friends from Carman-Ainsworth, and I wished they were there with me. No matter how idiotic some kids acted, they could cheer me up.
In my dream, I was sitting in my math class with a bunch of jerks who kept yelling stupid things at the top of their lungs. I was so upset by them, I took the worksheet I was doing, and crumped it up. I looked at my watch and realized the class was almost over. I willed myself not to cry, but I couldn't help it, and silent tears ran down my face.
I tried my best to block the idiots at my table out, but then I heard the morons at the table behind me. They were tormenting some kid because he never said anything to them. I thought, "Well, duh" because no one in their right mind would talk to these cretins. When I turned around, I saw who they were tormenting... it was my old friend from Carman-Ainsworth, Brendon! The two guys in my school I hate the most were pushing Brendon and smacking him, so I got up and punched them both in the face. *Me*! I never punch *anybody*!
As soon as I got the butt-holes away from Brendon, I saw everybody watching me. I gave them all a lecture about how much better Brendon was than all of them. I said he was going to be somebody simply because he *didn't* hang out with people like them. I told them what a great person Brendon was, and how sweet and helpful he was to everyone. I told them I hated them all, and then I stormed out of the classroom.
When I got outside, I noticed it was lunch time, but I called my mom to come, pick me up from school anyway. As my mom pulled up in the school's parking lot, I saw Brendon walking up to me. He told me thank you for telling those guys where to stick it, and then he hugged me. The hug was really comforting to me, I guess I really miss Brendon I lot more than I thought. I started crying again, and when I pulled away, I saw that Brendon was crying too. Then he told me he loved me, and my mom honked.
As I got into my mom's car and waved goodbye to him, I realized I loved him, too. Then I woke up. I felt really serene, and happy, but I felt sad too. As I got out of bed and looked in the mirror, I saw that I really was crying.

Riding in Cars With Parental Units
Grandma and Grandpa Z. came over last night, and they told us there was going to be a pumpkin patch set up at their church tomorrow. Dad and I were going to go to that today, but I'd already promised Sarah I'd go to the pumpkin patch with her this year, and Zach said she'd be hurt by my going with dad, so I didn't.
Well, we didn't get to pig out on donuts and cider while petting filthy animals at the petting zoo/pumpkin patch, but oh well. Instead, Dad and I headed over to Great Lakes Crossing in Pontiac. There, we went to the theatre to see Riding in Cars With Boys. It wasn't the best movie I ever saw, but it did teach some pretty dang good, although obvious, life lessons:
1. Don't have sex out of wed-lock, especially not with a guy who drinks like a sailor.
2. Try to refrain from locking your kids out of the house so you can stay inside and do drugs, you moron.
3. Go to the bathroom before you see Riding in Cars With Boys because it's really long, and you'll have to go by the time it's over, guarenteed.
Welp... that's all I have to say about that. See ya!

HORRIBLE NEWS!
Yesterday, Zach drove Mom and I to the Hurricanes' game in Saginaw. It was an awesome game; we won! I did everyhting from helping Mom and Laurie (a hockey mom) sell tickets to hanging out with Zach in the music box to sitting with the benched hockey players. After the third period, Zach and I walked across the ice, and I slipped. I was this close to falling! Tim video taped, too! It was awesome.
After making sure the players all had rides home, I went to dinner with Mom, Mike, Kurt and Dupes to Old Country Buffet (uck!). Well, it sucked to have to eat there in the first place, but as I was eating my salad, I was informed that I CAN'T DATE THE HOCKEY PLAYERS! Apparently, the first rule Kurt made as coach of the Hurricanes was, "No dating the owner's, coaches, or other players' immediate family."
HOOOOLY *CRAP*! The awful news sunk into my brain like the nasty corn that was slowly sinking into my mashed potatoes. And I wasn't the only one who was upset. Michelle Shaw, Mike Shaw's sister, was terrified. Just that day, we had been discussing which player we were going to go for. I'm into Reese, Carl and her brother, Mike, while she's into Cory and Reese. Now neither one of us can date *any* of the players! GRRRR!
GAAAAAH! The hockey players are like, the only nice guys in this town, and they're all so hot (except for two of them)! I mean... geez! Man, this is just horrible punishment for something we didn't even do! Somehow, we've got to work our way around this rule!!!!
I'm going to either plot revenge on Kurt or figure out a way to date the hockey players now. See ya!
--Holly Rachael :-/
After making sure the players all had rides home, I went to dinner with Mom, Mike, Kurt and Dupes to Old Country Buffet (uck!). Well, it sucked to have to eat there in the first place, but as I was eating my salad, I was informed that I CAN'T DATE THE HOCKEY PLAYERS! Apparently, the first rule Kurt made as coach of the Hurricanes was, "No dating the owner's, coaches, or other players' immediate family."

Happy Hollyween!
I took this little dealie from Devilish Devitalizer.
Section 1 - Obligatory Questions:
Name: Holly Rachael Zintel.
Age: 17
Location: Sometimes Flint, sometimes Bay City, MI.
Section 2 - This is my costume. Give me the damn candy!
What was your first Halloween costume? I was a Carebear!
What was your costume last year? Andrea from Daria. It wasn't one of my better ones.
What will your costume be this year? My grandpa Shoup!
Has there ever been a reoccurring theme with your costumes? For the past three years, I've been a character from Daria. Before that, I just tried to pick the goofiest costume I could.
Through the years, what have your costumes been? A Carebear, a clown, Smurfette, Peter Pan, Ariel the Little Mermaid, a butterfly, Paula Abdul, a ballerina dinosaur, a silly-looking witch, Todd from One Life to Live, a yin-yang... thing, an Egyptian chick, Daria Morgendorffer, a vampire version of Jane from Daria, my Grandma Z. and Andrea from Daria.
What was your favorite costume? Grandma Z. I looked just like her, plus people tell me I can immitate her voice perfect. It rocked; that was so much fun! Todd from OLTL was cool, too.
What is your dream costume? I'd like to be Rosie O'Donnel, but I can't find the right materials.
Which do you prefer, store bought or home made costumes? Homemade. I've never had a store-bought costume in my life because I think they're uncreative.
Masks or make up? Make-up!
Have you ever dyed, cut or did anything else to your hair for a costume? My mom dyed my hair red when I was Ariel in kindergarten, and my dad dyed it black when I was Jane the vampire, but the dye got on my neck, and wouldn't wash off for weeks!
What is the longest time you ever spent working on a costume? I think it was when I was Todd from OLTL.
The shortest? The Egyptian one didn't take too long, because I just wore one of my dance recital costumes, and painted eye-makeup on.
What was the most expensive costume you wore? Grandma Z., I think.
The least expensive? Probably Smurfette.
Section 3 - Trick or Treat, smell my feet, gimme something good to eat.
What kind of bag or pail did you collect candy in? A pillowcase.
Did you ever get so much candy it spilled over the top? I don't believe so. I usually got too tired to stay out very long.
Broke the bag/pail? I don't think so.
Did you just Trick or Treat up your street or your street and everyone else's? Usually my street, but for the past few years, it's been my aunt Barb's neighborhood, and once, my grandma Shoup's.
Candy that you hated to get? That really hot kind.
Do you think Trick or Treating should only be done at night? Yes, but safely and responsibly.
What is the perfect weather for Trick or Treating? Nice and warm so you don't have to put a coat or hat on and mess up your costume or makeup.
Section 4 - It's alive! ALIVE!!!
What is your favorite monster? The Cookie Monster.
Why do you like this monster so much? He bears cookies. What's not to like?
If you had the chance to be this monster for one day, what would you do? Eat a lot of cookies.
If you could be anywhere in the world on Halloween, where would you want to be? Chillin' with the hockey players after the game... which is what I'll probably be doing.
What is your favorite Halloweenish song? "Nature Trail to Hell" by "Weird Al" Yankovic.
What is your favorite horror movie? Ernest Scared Stupid.
What is your favorite horror novel? Wanda the Witch.
Have you ever been to a theme parks Halloween celebration (i.e. HallowScream, Halloween Horror Nights, ect.)? No. That'd probably be cool, though.
If so, what was it like? N/A.
Did you have fun? N/A.
Is Freddy really dead? The guy in my third hour? No, I just talked to him yesterday.
What about Bela Lugosi? I... figure as much. (I have no idea who that is.)
Have you ever been to a real haunted house? I hope not.
Did anything spooky happen? Um... yeah.
Is 13 an unlucky number to you? Not particularly.

Serendipity was a cartoon when I was little...
...but now it appears to be a live action movie. Hmm. Well, my dad took me to see it today (after I'd done my dusting, of course), and, as I expected, it absolutely rocked. The screenwriter must be a genius. That stuff is hard to beat. It was really, *really* good! I think I've based my life on the concept of serendipity all my life, or most of it anyway. John Cusak and Kate Bekinsale are such gorgeous people, they looked great together!
Sarah and Zach are a really disfunctional couple. I went out with them earlier, before we took Sarah to work, and they fight... *ALL... THE TIME*! It's incredible. They sounds like an old married couple! I don't think they'd know what to do if they didn't have something to fight about.
I went out to dinner at Mario's with Dad and Zach just now, and had some pizza. It's sort of difficult to explain how we got into it, but Zach and I had a little argument. Toward the end of it, Zach said, "Holly's just a wuss," and my dad was like, "Don't call her that." I asked Zach, "Why would you say that?" and Zach was like, "Because you are." Dad said, "Let's not get into this," and Zach's like, "Dad knows what I'm talking about." Dad wouldn't let him tell me what he meant by that, but I'm kind of hurt by it.
I think I'll be better once I get to the hockey game tomorrow. Tim will be filming the game, *plus* I'll get to see Reese, Crouse and Carl! Woo hoo!
Well... see ya!

If I wasn't a celebrity, would you be so into me?
You know, it's weird. Although I've been staying in a hotel all the while I've been in Bay City, I feel like I'm famous. At the Hurricanes' games, I sit up in the press box. Frequently, I've been eating lunch at the Civic Arena with local big-shots. It feels surreal. It's cool to say, "I'm with the hockey players" and have people shake my hand and actually seem glad to know me. And when girls run after the hockey players, asking for their autographs and/or phone numbers, I'm walking with them, discussing an episode of The Simpsons.
It sort of bothers me when girls glare at me when I hand Jeff Crouse his Pepsi, but what am I gonna do? Lately, I don't even smile at them because, as long as I'm going to be living with Billy Killbreath, they're going to look at me like I'm 'N Sync's hairdresser.
Other than the girls who think I suck, this life with the hockey players rocks. I mean, I'm sharing fries with the guy on the cover of the sports page! It's pretty fun and different for someone who spends her summers online, reading Daria fan fiction, you know? A girl even stopped me in my government class this morning, and said, "Hey, I'm writing an article for the Bay City Times, and I need to ask you a few questions about the Hurricanes."
I think Jeff Crouse is the funniest guy on the team, but he has girls flocking around him *ALL THE TIME*! They don't even leave the guy alone when he goes to the bathroom! Chicks are doing to same thing to Moose Smallman, Matt Wilkens and most of the other players! These guys are loving the attention because, before they were celebrities, some of them never even had a date. The attention the guys are getting reminds me of that song by 'N Sync. "If I wasn't a celebrity... would you be so nice to me?"
Welp... I'm going to go now. Dude, my diary's rockin'! My brother, Zach redid it for Halloween for me! Doesn't he kick arse? Thanks, Z-Bear! Later!

Ewwwwwwww!
Yesterday, when Mom picked me up from school (half an hour late), she told me we'd be staying in Bay City at the hotel with the hockey players that night and the next. We would be taking Crouse and Shepherd's room, since they were moving in with the families who'll be taking care of them while they're in America.
Well... Mom and I got the room key from Crouse, so we went back to the room and... AAAAH! The room was *TRASHED*! There were beer bottles (hopefully, they're Shepherd's...), chicken bones, sunflower seeds, toenails, chips, donuts, girls' phone numbers, clothes, and everything else you can think of, all over the floor and in the beds! Gross!
I was afraid to touch anything, but Mom couldn't stand the mess, so she started cleaning their junk up. I couldn't believe it when she was done cleaning. The room looked like an entirely different place! We ordered some more sheets, and as much as I wanted to sleep in Crouse's bed, I didn't know which one had been his, and I definitely *didn't* want to sleep in Shepherd's bed.
Guess what Kurt did?! He told the entire hockey team that I like Crouse! ARGH! Last night, when we were at the rink, the guys got hungry, so we took their orders, ran to Subway, and got back with their $50 subs. I gave Crouse his sub and Pepsi, and said, "Okay, Crouse, trade-off. Here's your pop, I'll take your room key." So Kurt, Wilkens, Dupes and Shannon all went, "Oh-ho-*HO*! Holly wants Crouse's room key!" Those dorks.
So I was a little embarrassed, and pretty mad at Kurt. Well, I'm gonna pack up my stuff 'cause I'm going out to lunch at Taco Bell in a minute. Later.
--Holly Rachael :-D
BRITTANY: Jane, your picture's full of bloody people! That's not a still life!
JANE: Sure it is. The blood's the reason they're so still.

Hockey, hockey and more hockey!!!!
Saturday was the first game of the season for the Tri-City Hurricane's and I was really nervous for them. Mom and I stood outside for about an hour and a half before the game, to collect money from people who were parking. One guy got really mad and yelled at me! He was like, "I can't *believe* you f*cking as*holes, making us pay for parking! I'm just gonna leave! It's not worth it!" and then he sped off. But dude! They were only charging $2 to park! That guy was so cheap! And it wasn't even my fault he had to pay for parking. That scared the crap outta me!
The game *rocked*! They played the Detroit Lightening, and we kicked their arses! I went up in the press box to watch the game. My favorite player, Jeff Crouse, did *soooo* good! At face off, he had the puck, and skated like heck to the goal until he scored! He so totally rocked! And Billy, my step-brother, played good too. But Crouse... whew. When he scored that goal, I was like, "CROUSE! CROUSE! WOOOOOOOO! CROUSE RUUUUULES!" Everybody looked up at the press box like, "Dude. Will somebody shoot that chick with a tranquilizer?"
I was really, really proud of all of my guys, though. Then, on Sunday afternoon, they played again, and they lost, but they did play really awesome. The other team didn't slaughter them, either.
The Hurricanes made the front page of the Bay City Times, too! Kurt's picture is on here, and he's all smiling, with his missing teeth and everything. It's really funny. I'm soooo proud!
CROUSE ROCKS!

*Falls out of chair laughing at theme*
Heheh, the theme says, "Did you ever have to break something to your parents that you were afraid to tell them? How did you prepare for it, and how did it turn out?"
The real question here should be, "Have you ever *not* been afraid to tell a parent something?" Just about every week of my entire life, there has been something I felt the need to hide from my dad. I'm not going to drone on about hiding numerous report cards from my dad, though. I'm going to write about a time when I was like... 10 years old.
Quite a few years back, I was addicted to One Life to Live, and liked the other ABC soaps as well. I didn't want to leave the house, or even the room, when my soaps were on. So for Christmas, my parents got me a mini-TV. They said I could take it anywhere I wanted, and I could watch my soaps on it! I took it *everywhere*, and I was so thrilled to have that handy little TV, on which I could watch Sean Moynahan on One Life to Live!
Well, one day, I got into those marker-board type markers. I discovered that I could write on mirrors with the marker, and easily wipe it right off. I got a little too marker-happy, thinking I could write on *anything* and wipe the marker off. So I wrote "I love Sean Moynahan!" all over my mini-TV screen... and found it WOULDN'T WIPE OFF! I freaked out. What was I going to tell my parents?! I was *sure* the TV had to have been very expensive. And what a stupid thing to write! I looked like... well, I looked like the obsessive freak I was.
I finally worked up the nerve to whisper what I'd done to my mom. She told me the TV had only been like, $30, and she thought what I'd written was cute, and as soon as she got done laughing about it, she told my dad. He wasn't as amused, but he wasn't mad, either. I couldn't believe it. I had stressed for about five hours over nearly nothing. Geez.
And the moral here is... um... don't write on TV screens with marker. It doesn't come off. Later!

For hating sports, I sure go to a lot of games...
Dude, I had to go to Carman-Ainsworth's homecoming game tonight because I promised Sarah I would. But it was really cold and rainy. I had layers upon layers of sweaters and coats on, and I *still* got cold! I had to leave at half-time, then we went back and got Sarah, her sister and... some other girl that I don't know. They're nuts for *wanting* to stay in the cold for that long!
Whoa... I just downloaded the new Backstreet Boys song, and dang. It's sooooooo good. I can't seem to get enough of it. I keep playing it over and over again. That's so sweet-- "Every time I breathe, I take you in and my heart beats again." Oh, *man*. Whew! That's some good stuff right there. And Brian's little solo... things... are... soooo... gooood... ooooh...
Okay, okay, I'll be alright. I gotta go before I get carried away talking about the video for Lance and Joey's new movie, On the Line. Wow! Rockin'. See ya!

I had a really sucky day
Actually, yesterday was one of those rare, really bad days. Bad doesn't even describe it. Yesterday absolutely sucked.
Mike is always late picking me up from school. I think he's been on time a total of... once. Yesterday was a record for him, though. He was an hour and a half late picking me up from school! I couldn't believe it, the *janitor* left before I did!
And we don't have a house in Bay City yet, so my family (except for Mike) was in Flint. I tried to call my mom on the pay phone, but it wouldn't call numbers that far out of the area code. So I sat there for about half an hour, ready to cry when I realized my dad had given me a phone card to call him with!
After calling my mom and telling her about my dilemma, I sat on an outdoor bench. Finally, a blue Blazer (all my family members have Buick LeSabres) pulled up at my school, and out steps Mike and a hockey player, Matt Barth. I was so mad. Get this, Matt Barth apologized for picking me up late, but Mike didn't! He was like, "Holly, I was on the phone with a very important person! Even if I had remembered to pick you up, I couldn't have done it." UUUUUGH!
When we got to the hockey arena, I realized I FORGOT MY INTERVIEW QUESTIONS!!!!!! Crap! So, I explained that to Mike, and he got all bent out of shape. He started freaking out about it!
After we left the hockey arena, I told Mike I was starving. So he goes, "Okay, I'll get you something after we make a couple of stops." He said he was going to run into this printing place where they were supposed to put logos and names on his hockey jerseys. This little "stop" lasted two hours, and he didn't leave the keys with me... oh, plus he left the window down. After about an hour, it started raining. Freezing cold rain was coming in the window, hitting my face and arms. Mike didn't apologize about that either.
When he got back in the car, I said, "Are we going back to Flint now?" and he looked at me like I was nuts and said, "I've got a lot of important stuff to do before the day is over!" I was *SO* hungry by now, so he stopped by Burger King, and I got a large fry. Then went to the hockey arena again, and for some stupid reason, I said I'd wait in the car while he "ran in" again, so I could eat my fries. Good Lord, he didn't come out of that hockey arena until I'd *digested* my fries.
*FINALLY*... we went back to Flint. I turned on the radio to try and chill a little... but then Mike goes, "How are we going to know if something important is going on in the news?! We're not 'cause you've got it on the rock station!" and then he flipped it to some sports news station.
Uuuuuuuuuuuugh. I was so ready to cry when I got home. Hopefully, I'll never have a day *that* bad again. Ick. Later.
