I was driving around New Hampshire this weekend and came across West Canaan. I didn't actually stop there, but the town seemed pretty cool. Then I saw their sports team. The Lilac Lassies.
What does that mean?! That doesn't sound mean at all! I thought team names were supposed to be tough! Or at least have some sort of animal that can attack in SOME way.
WELL! Lilac Lassie is a pattern for a fairy. I guess there are different types of fairies. And they all have different designs. Lilac Lassie is one of them.
Fairies are pretty awesome, but they are usually sweet and don't attack people.
Unless you're a Lilac Lassie from West Canaan! Those fairies know how to BRING IT!
I wouldn't mess with them. They actually picked my car up while I was driving through West Canaan. And not with magic, either. They only used their crazy muscles to do it. It was awesome!
So next time you have to play against a team of fairies, watch out! They'll probably take you down AND make fun of you. They are RUTHLESS.
They also carry large bludgeoning tools. So...yeah...they'll knock you out.
I'm off to find a fairy.
Enjoy Everything.

new hampshire
I went for a short trip to New Hampshire this past weekend. I'm not one to go on vacation a lot because it usually costs money. That makes it hard to do anything. Luckily, I found a great internet special that got me two nights at the hotel for only $40. Nice, right? Well, I didn't go alone, and that's kinda why it was so cheap.
The trip was to Waterville Valley. It's a very small ski town in New Hampshire that I used to go to as a small child. My family liked to ski. I even liked to ski when I was younger. Now I wouldn't ski if you paid me in gummy bears. Unless it was a mountain of gummy bears equal to or greater than the mountain that you wanted me to ski on.
I haven't been there in many years and wanted to check it out again. Things are never the same as you remember them. For example, the pond was empty. Yeah. It is now a big hole. I think they are going to fill it up again, but they're doing some work on it.
Also, the pizza place didn't have the same arcade games that they used to. I wasn't expecting it, but I was hoping. I loved the pizza place because it was one of the last places ON EARTH that had the original Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles arcade game. They definitely had it during the mid '90s, but I guess they decided to update the arcade a little bit. It's possible the game blew up from being so awesome and they couldn't replace the parts anymore because it was so old. That happens a lot.
I also slipped while I was hiking and got scrapes on both of my forearms. It was cool because it looked like I had racing stripes. I felt like The Flash...except I couldn't run very fast and my arms hurt. I guess having racing stripes doesn't make you run faster, it just makes you look cooler.
The leaves were also cool because they were very colorful. I think it has to do with the explosion of a crayon factory in the area. It got into the soil and made pretty trees. I liked it. I wish crayons would blow up everywhere.
Overall, it was a pretty sweet trip. Partly because they had some great candy there, but mostly because it is a really cool place to go. You should check it out. I think you'll like it.
Hopefully I'll get up there again when there isn't a hurricane. And maybe the pond will have water in it. And maybe, just maybe, the Ninja Turtles arcade game will be back at the pizza place after getting fixed.
I'm off to clock my running speed.
Enjoy!
