We've made it through what most would call Blue October. Although extremely inconsistently, we still made it. The St. Louis Blues currently sit in the 7th position in our league. You learn to love this team through everything although you might be extremely angry at them currently.

This team is one that you have to make the choice to stick with regardless of the fact we still do not have a Stanley Cup to our name.

You are there for the highs and the lowest of the lows. 

The Blues are a really good hockey team, remember that. As good as they are, they have a tendency of being inconsistent. So being there for the highs and lows can often get difficult.

Vladimir Tarasenko is a crucial player. 

The Blues acquired a gift when Vladimir Tarasenko joined their team. This man is a scoring machine and what some would call an angry Russian bear. Look up videos of him fighting on the ice.

When he is out for the count, the whole team dynamic changes. Something almost seems off when he isn't on the ice.

You smack talk a little more than you should sometimes. 

When you're a fan, you are a ride or die fan. In the hockey league there is no time to even be a fair-weather fan. So of course you're going to trash talk the opposition. However, the blues have issues in consistency which can lead to a person putting their foot in their mouth when the trash talking is followed by an abrupt loss.

You either love Jake Allen or you don't. No in between. 

So Jake Allen has been a Blues player for a very long time. During this time, he has seen the ups and downs of this team. However, many of the lows are often blamed on him since he is the goalie. Although he can be a key player when it matters, he often can waiver at other times.

We have 0 Stanley Cups. 

How hard do you think it is to be a fan of a team that is one of the oldest in the NHL and has NO Stanley Cups? Very, Very difficult. We have beaten teams at the start of their season after victory, yet we can't win a cup.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
