...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.

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!
