I was bored at home the other day and playing around on the intrawebs. I somehow stumbled across Cake Wrecks. As I was browsing through the older entries I found one that had a picture of what was supposed to be a cake for a hockey fan.
The author wasn't familiar with the sport and asked her husband to explain it to her. This is what she heard:
"See, apparently they play this sport on ice - but they have to make sure the ice is really thick, or else their cleats will scuff it all up. The players wear lots of padding and helmets, and carry little butterfly nets on sticks with which to hit the ball around. The object of the game is to score a triple Hail Mary - which is just another name for a running slam dunk - and consists of knocking three other players down while simultaneously dunking the ball through one of the red rings. Players known as running backs try to kick the ball, but the other team's catchers use their heads and butterfly nets to deflect the ball away from their side's field goal. Any running backs who are able to push the other team's running backs out of the big circle in the middle get what's called a free throw, in which they're allowed to chuck the ball at the head of their least favorite player. If they miss, their team only scores a half-down, but if the ball hits the other player, they score a hole-in-one."
I just about pissed myself laughing after reading that. I don't think I've ever heard a more accurate definition of what most non sports enthusiasts hear when trying to understand a sport they don't care for or watch on a regular basis.

Fast Times at Liquid Joe's Part II
For those of you that are new to my blog I've only been in SLC for a little over 2 years. For most of that time I was a home body. I was addicted to EverCrack, so no partying. If I did go out it was to a friends house and not a club. So I've only been out a couple of times and only to Area 51.
I left it up to him to suggest where we were going and he said Liquid Joe's they had 80's music. Sweet, I grew up in the 80's listening to top 40 pop in LA with Rick Dees in the morning. The Spazmatics were playing and they were awesome. So many great songs that I remember listening to growing up. I danced and drank yummy Uinta Hefeweizen. I had a blast. Best time I've had in years.
I hadn't eaten in like 8 hours by the time we got to the bar. So the beer went straight to my head. Normally I can handle more than 2 before I start feeling nauseous but not last night. Had to switch to water. I also didn't want to be drunk later.
It was inevitable that we would end up in bed together. He even asked me point blank if I wanted to have sex with him. Which I thought was really cute. If you knew who he was and what he looked like the answer for everyone that finds males attractive would most definitely be yes.
So I was a little looser than usual. I had a first. I came in public. We were waiting in line at the bar for another drink for him and water for me and he managed to get his hand to my special place. Now normally I would have stopped anyone that tried to do that. I'm not a public kind of girl. However I had grown the previous three days and didn't really care what anyone else thought of me. Plus I wasn't about to stop him from making me feel good. That hardest part though was not screaming in the bar. I had to bite him to keep that from happening.
Not long after that we left. We couldn't wait anymore. The previous four days of tension with the flirty messages was just too much build up for us to wait. We get back to his place and the clothes just fly off. No nervous build up on the couch with another drink or anything like that. Just clothes making a mess.
I'm not going to give you all of the details. Needless to say he obviously made quite an impression. No body has ever received a two part post before. Not even my ex, and he had pictures attached to his post.
The only bad part is that we had to cut it short. His son became ill and he had to take him to the ER which I'm totally okay with. Back to that loving father thing I mentioned Sunday. Good thing is he's only got strep and should be feeling better soon with his medication.

Fast Times at Liquid Joes Part I
Remember that post a few days back about me joining MySpace. Well I did. While I was there I figured I might as well use it as it's intended. To promote this blog and make new friends.
So I met this guy, but wait that's not the right way to start. We need to back up a little bit. Earlier this week I received a message from a wonderful man. He apparently found me while playing on Myspace. Here's an excerpt from his first message to me.
First of all, I think you're profile picture is amazing! Very mysterious, beautiful, and sexy all in one shot.
How am I going to ignore a message like that? So I respond like a typical bad receiver, more on the receiver part later, with thank you but... He responded back with this.
Something about that picture...makes me want to kiss you.
Well shit. Now how is a girl supposed to resist that? You tell me. So I send him a link to a larger version of the picture with the promise of another one that's a little more risque and he comes back with.
Yep, same effect. I still want to kiss her. Great mouth...
So know that I know that he likes kissing, one point in the go for it column, I have to meet him. We had been talking about other things in these messages as well. Like what kind of music we like, what topics we like to discuss, what we like to consume while having these discussions. Just general get to know you stuff. He knows quite a bit more about me than I do him at this point, because I am so candid here and most of his blog entries are about his children. Which I think is awesome. He loves his kids and really cares about them and their future one more point in the go for it column.
We decide that we have to meet. Bad thing is I have a three day seminar Thursday, Friday and Saturday. So I'm not available until Saturday night at seven. Of course the night I want to get out on time, or even early like the other two nights, we run long. S'ok though because he got called into work and wasn't available until later anyway.
We spent the next three days texting each other. On my breaks at the seminar, or just when I got bored, because just like any training company that has multiple courses they push the other courses while you're there. Like the last 45 minutes of each session was telling us how awesome these other courses are and we should go sign up now because it's only going to be this cheap this weekend. blah blah blah. Sense of urgency and all that.
Come back Tuesday for the rest.
