I’ve decided to finally start a blog, surely to abandon it after the third post.
I plan to ramble incoherently about the Dallas Stars, NHL hockey, and anything even remotely related to those things. I am notoriously lazy and easily intimidated by the prospect of having to come up with anything creative. So I wouldn’t expect anything too great.
I will also try not to be quite so self-defeating, but I wouldn’t hold my breath on that one, either.
I’ve been lurking in some really great blogs for a couple of years now. Covered In Oil and Battle of California got me going in the hockey blogosphere. They never even knew I was there. But then Earl Sleek from BoC linked me to Interchangeable Parts and I was off. I’ve been spamming poor Schnookie and Pookie with comments ever since.
I regularly read what seems like hundreds of great blogs. I’ll be adding them to my blogroll a little at a time. (See above where I talk about my laziness.)
So, I thought it would be fun to try it myself. I can vent my frustrations with the lack of hockey talk in my neck of the woods and save my friends and family from having to listen to it.


Wowza! It’s about time the Stars got a good voice in the blogosphere! And if I do say so myself, this is one snazzy-looking blog!! (But don’t worry — I’ll keep my enthusiasm tempered. :P)
Ooooh, finally! A summer’s worth of constant nagging pays off in a fabulous new Stars blog! I can’t wait to see where you go with it! I absolutely love how the banner looks, by the way. Thanks to your commenting on IPB, I have to admit I don’t find the Stars as disgusting anymore! :)
Heeey! Did you deliberately make it so that my : and ) would turn into a smiley? Sneaky… Well, try this:
X^0 :*:*:*:
Yeah. Didn’t think so!
Dang it! I thought I had that turned off!
I changed my theme a hundred times, so it must have gotten reset.
Um…how do I turn that off?
You are awesome! Doing anything Friday night?
Yes! I’m going to the Stars’ Home Opener with my lovely sister!
Wake up and blog.
I said don’t get used to it!
Hey, I thought your lovely sister lived in Oklahoma!
Different lovely sister! I have two lovely sisters!
PATTY! How did I miss this?! My brain must be fuzzy from all this hockey! Hoooooooray!! I’m so glad you have a blog!
I haven’t told anybody yet, so you did a good job finding it, Katebits. :D
I’ll admit it in a couple of days. Probably right before I start neglecting it completely.
Welcome to the hockey blogosphere Patty! Despite my dislike for the Stars and Modano’s chipmunk face, I’m still super excited to read about them through your blog :D
Thanks, Sherry! If it helps, I doubt you’ll find anything here of substance. :D
I have no idea how this slipped right past me. For a freaking week. I’m retarded.
Great job starting up a blog Patty! I’m very excited to come here and gloat every time the Sharks whoop on the Stars.(Okay, so it almost never happens, but I’ll be here regardless!)
I feel horrible it took me so long to find this! Yay Patty! It looks great. I like the Stars as long as they’re not playing my boys. Have fun.
I just found your blog, thanks to the DMN blog. Wow, if anyone who knows me reads your blog, they’re gonna think you’re me! I’m right with you on most things. Good luck, and keep it going.
