The Juha Ikonen on defensemen.

ayyyy!!

Blake Campbell had an incredible rookie season, albeit in a backup goalie role. In 21 starts he had a save percentage of 0.930 and eight shutouts. His 19-1-1 record no doubt helped the Vikings to a Victory Cup, and now as their full-time starter, Campbell has Stockholm atop the standings after 45 games. He isn't the start of the team, but his 0.919 save percentage is second best in the league. It would be tough for him to catch Wingate (0.933) in that regard, but Campbell tops the charts in goals against average and shutouts. His numbers aren't quite on par with his rookie season, but playing a more prominent role and playing against tougher teams, the Vikings couldn't ask for much more from the sophomore. He recently pitched a 31-save shutout of the Quebec City Meute, the highest scoring team. It was his second shutout of the Meute in five games against the team. The Vikings future looks bright, and while they do have some question marks on their roster, Campbell is not one of them. As long as he is here, with the rest of their core pieces, the Vikings will be a competitive team.

tbh I don't even feel afraid to ask. I'm not even really nervous at this point.

This is my most listened to song of the week, so maybe that's where this attitude is coming from. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UhRXn2NRiWI

tbh normally when I'm in situations where I'm interested in a girl, I'll be all happy and shit like I am now, but I'll also be thinking "man it's gonna suck if she says no." For some reason now I'm not feeling that way. I'm not thinking about that at all, though I acknowledge that it is certainly a possibility. Idk why but I just feel good. I'm probably being recklessly optimistic, or maybe I've come to accept that life will move on regardless of her answer. Even if she says yes though it's not like a huge deal. I think that's when I'll start to get nervous about it though. And I definitely agree that rejection is better than regret about not asking. If you don't ask because you think she'll say no, then at worst all that asking will do is just confirm your suspicions (well, and the whole "I don't want to ruin our friendship" excuse, but that's bs).

DINNER TOO? Can I take a loan out of the VHL donation account???

You guys are the best I'm also going to hang out with some close irl friends tomorrow and I'm sure I'll talk about it with them as well.

You guys are a wonderful help, and I mean it.

what's happening in S50

good point. time to retire.

also lol I remember back in the past during paragraph 1 when I talked to nagger about this girl.

So here's the situation I'm in. I have this friend from High School. We didn't really start to hang out until maybe halfway through senior year. She had a boyfriend at the time but eventually she didn't and I was into her, but never made a move because 1) betaproblems and 2) we were gonna be leaving for college eventually anyway. We stayed in touch a bit and occasionally hung out during breaks. Last weekend I had my five-year high school reunion. It was the first time in about a year that I had seen her. We talked and joked and it was good. I'm going to be seeing her on Monday to play some tennis, and when I do, I'm planning to ask her to a Twins game. tbh this is the point where I should stop thinking, but I'm not going to. I can't help but try to over analyze this before it even happens, and that's a major flaw. I've never asked her out on a date, which is my intent here. Whether or not she'll pick up on that, I don't know, but I'm assuming she will. But since we've been friends for a while, I don't know for sure. I'll try to figure that out based on her reaction. I know it's possible that she'll ask about my intent and I'll tell her. But it's if she doesn't that is where I am stuck. Do I bring it up right there? Or do I wait until the day of and bring it up after (if I felt good about how it went)? Obviously situations will differ based on the people and the exact nature of the relationship between them, and since you guys don't know these things, you may be unable to help. I don't really know what I'm looking for from you, maybe just a general idea of what you think I should probably do, or maybe just words of encouragement. idk, but just talking about it makes me feel better about it.

Lend me your words of advice/encouragement, internetmen and internetwomen.
