I hate it when I do this.
It has been MONTHS since I decided to write in here.
This is because I am now almost entirely here in my LiveJournal.

I might still pop back in, but I don't promise it.

♥ Mary.

So, it was 1 AM this morning and what was I doing?
I was playing Oregon Trail.
And it's not just normal Oregon Trail.
It was Red Sox themed.




Jed Lowrie - Trail Leader
Others:
Jacoby Ellsbury
Jonathan Papelbon
Josh Beckett
Justin Masterson



So I tried to ford the river. It flooded and not only did I loose almost EVERYTHING, Josh also drowned.
*tear*



I TOLD HIM not to play with that snake.....



Did I snicker?
Yes, yes I did.



Jed CEARLY has NO IDEA where we're going.
AKA he can't find Oregon.
AKA he can't find his own home.



Poor baby.



Once again, did I snicker?
Yes, yes I did.

Then, Firefox decides to CRASH on me and I don't get to finish.
Bah.
But Jed was the only one who didn't get sick.
He just got us lost for 4 days.

And I bet he was smiling as he was trying to find his way back.
:D

This made my day.

Since I fail at HTML, I shall have to provide you all with a link to the site in which this video resides.
http://soxanddawgs.com/?p=3985#more-3985

So watch the video as I list the 4 best things about it:
1. Jed's reaction to being struck out (Does he EVER stop smiling??)
2. Papi's Jed impersination.
3. What Beckett does in his spare time, aparently.
4. The sunflower seed flicking
5. THAT CAMERA.

That camera is on them the whole game.
We the people deserve to be let loose on this footage.

No Rain! No Rain!.... aw damn.

So rain delays always mess me up.
I tried my hardest to make it to the end of the game, but I lost it when Lugo came up in the... oh man I don't even remember which inning it was, but it was the end.
Them my mom started furiously shaking me and going "PAP'S UP PAP'S UP!" so I managed to wake up for that, but I was drifting.
I'll edit this post with anything amusing I may find later about last night's game.

A Burger for Clay Clay.

Rain delay.
So I ran to Grillicious, an amazing restaurant down the street.
I certainly hope that Clay Clay is going to appreciate this Texas Burger I'm consuming in his honour....
It's super delicious... but super messy.
:D

I Had A Dream...

And it involved Jed Lowrie.


I don't know why, but I had to go to a banquet of some sort. I needed a date, so of course I asked my buddy Jed Lowrie if he wanted to go with me and be my friend/date thing.
So we went, and he sat to my right. And he was all adorable in hit suit and tie thinger.
And I kept trying to make him laugh/giggle so I could see his MASSIVE smile. *
And he kept laughing, and it kept making me very happy.
So this banquet turned into something different, and I was suddenly sitting with Sean Casey on my left, Pap across from me and Dustin to his left.
Pap and Dustin began to argue, and I tried to break it up but they kept going.
Jed was being all nice and trying to tell me to forget about it, but just as I was going to try again anyway, Pap picked up some of his food from his plate and threw it at Dustin.
He then retaliated and threw something at Pap.
I stood up and tried to get in between them, to stop them, but if I remember correctly, I got a piece of chicken in the face.
That's all I remember, but the main plot was getting Jed to giggle.

New Banner/Poor Tek

2 Orders of Business:

A new banner: we has one.
I got bored last night and made us a spiffy new banner.
Tell me what you think, if you feel so inclined.

Part Two:
Tek, honey, deary, love of the catching aspect of my life....GET SOME MORE SLEEP.
You should NOT, I repeat for emphasis, NOT be playing yet.
Don't try to hide your wheezing at the plate.
Those puffed out cheeks, induced by a big whoosh of air, do not mean "I'm blowing dust from in front of my face."
It means "I still kinda have bronchitis and should really be sleeping this off, not trying to crack a ball onto the green monster."
[More behind the jump]



That is not the appearence of a healthy man.
He still looks kinda pale/ashen/whatever you wanna call it.
Take this interview exert as exibit B:
""When Johnny left it with Tim and he asked me to come aboard, it's hard to turn down an old buddy like him, " Jason said is a still-hoarse voice during an interview with NESN's Hazel Mae on the course today."

He's still hoarse.
And he was golfing.
In the rain.
Tek, honey-kins, make some soup, or get Timlin to make it for you, and go lay down on the couch. Take a nap. Do a crossword puzzle. Watch some Fraiser.
GET.
BETTER.

Why we love Pap, example #43

When I figure out how to make that an embeded player, I will.
But as usual, Katie interrupts my little spring cleaning in here with quite possibly the best piece of Papelbon GOLD I have ever seen.

A Fair Warning....

I'm going to be poking around in here for a little while tonight, fixing formating, backgrounds, etc.
So, if you come by and its all general messy chaos, that's why.
We will be back and functioning by morning =)

Sox Endorsements

After Pap's recent Dunkin' ad, there are just so many other companies dying to get their hands on some Sox endorsements....

Simple Pleasures

There are certain things in the Red Sox that Katie and I just find, well, amazing.
I like to refer to these things as our "Simple Pleasures."
Behind the cut, you shall find this list, with a few pictures to illustrate my point.


1. Pap's Commercials
Dunkin Donuts, Modell's, 125 Auto... Pap seems to be the one to pick when it comes to having a Red Sox endorse your product. I have decided that the winner in this contest of the best Pap Performance has to go to his new Dunkin' ad.However, I can't find it on YouTube, so here's his absolutely STELLAR performance in his 125 Auto ad:



2. Tek's thighs.
Now, I know that this made be an odd thing for someone to find awesome. Those people have obviously never seen Tek's thighs (See also Number7):



3. Dice-K's pitching wiggle
Honestly, watch Dice-K's pitch very closely next time. His lower half does this little wiggle before he pitches. It's not HIGHLY noticeable, but if you're looking you'll see it.

4. Dustin's most recent stubble.
He is clearly trying to look older. Awww, that's precious. He wants to be like one of the big boys.
(I couldn't find a picture of this, but if he doesn't shave for tomorrow's game, I'm sure I can get one =D )

5. Jacoby's one-sleeve
Last season Jacoby's one-sleeve was a major mystery. Did he have a strange birthmark? Embarrassing tattoo? Was he shooting up heroin in between games? Apparently not. It's just an arm-warmer. Something about the fact that he just doesn't want to wear an extra shirt is quite, umm, interesting ;-).



6. Lowell's eyebrows
Ok, this is a common source of affection. Everyone loves Lowell's eyebrows because they are clearly magical.


7. Jon Lester's Sweet Ass
We are not fangirls. Really. We don't simply like players because they're good looking/popular/super famous. We like everyone. But honestly, honestly you can not ignore Jon Lester's mighty fine ass. That is all. (ED. NOTE: This is mostly Katie. I can't help but agree, but this one is mostly Katie =D )



8. Johnny Pesky
Whenever I see him I smile. He's amazing. He is essentially my favorite person in the world. When he smiles, I smile. He cries? I cry. It is that simple. And when David Ortiz envelopes him and that ridiculous bear hug, Manny Ramirez kisses his cheek, or resident King of Niceness Tim Wakefield walks him across the field like his own grandfather it just makes my heart smile. I firmly believe that Johnny Pesky brings out the awesome in the world. (ED NOTE: This one is all Katie again. Not that I don't heart Pesky, but this is all Katie =P )



9. The speech patterns of the Sox.
Jacoby says ummm, ya know, and generally stumbles. Dustin says umm sometimes more than Jacoby. And Beckett often parallels the mouth of a sailor. Either way, the post game, locker interviews are some of the most golden pieces of Red Sox footage.
Key phrases:
"I don't make those fucking decisions."
"...Execute fucking pitches."
"and, ummm...."
"we just have to, you know, ..."

10. Clay and his frog-resemblance.
But it's a cute froggie. The kind you find in your back yard and want to keep in a jar with little holes in the lid. He also looks like he should be a high school freshman. You know, back when he was stealing laptops. Or at least being the look-out for other people stealing laptops.

Who can it be now?

Who can it be knocking at my door throwing out the first pitch?
All Tom Werner will say is this:
"It will be a great day," said Red Sox chairman Tom Werner. "We have a lot of surprises -- [including a] very exciting surprise about who is throwing out the first pitch so I'm going to tease everybody about it -- but it will be a great experience. We've got a lot of great plans. Opening Days are great, but to combine it with the ring ceremony will be terrific."
"All I can say is," said Werner, "I think everyone will get goosebumps."

All I can say is...WHO IS IT?!?! It's driving me INSANE! I WANNA KNOW!

well I guess I'll just have to wait until tomorrow at 1 o'clock, be there! I know I will with Mary and a few family friends. I'm leaving school an hour and a half early my dismissal note will say: "Katie will need to be dismissed at 12:25 today because the Red Sox are on. That is all."
Ok so not really I'll probably make up a doctor's appointment or something because some people just don't appreciate the Red Sox the way we do here in the House that Awesome Built but whatever.
THE END!

The Day That I Don't Know the Name Of.

So technically it's Opening Day.
But it's in Japan.
Whatevs.

EITHER WAY, I am going to Katie's at SIX IN THE FREAKING MORNING to watch it.

Wearing my Paps shirt =)

And apparently she's making breakfast HAHA.

So, no matter how I look at it, it's gonna be a sa-weet very early morning.

More things to post after the game =)
