As many, if not all of you, of you know, I'm a diehard hockey fan. I've acquired four Columbus Blue Jackets sweaters (jerseys, for those who have no idea what I'm going on about) over the years, two paid for completely with my own money, one had the name put on the back with my own money and one was a gift pretty much for not dropping out of high school last summer.

The names I've had on the jerseys in order are Rick Nash (61, Captain), Nikolai Zherdev (13), Pascal Leclaire (31, ungodly goaltender), and Gilbert Brule (17).

In two days, TWO F-CKING DAYS, two of the players were traded. Goodbye, Gilbert, good luck in Edmonton. Goodbye, Z, good luck in New York City. But in the Land of Columbus, POOF, Kelsey is now out $600 and two of her favorite player are gone. Three, actually, but I didn't get a jersey for the third guy...

So obviously the mood thing isn't working because I'M NOT FEELING NEUTRAL WHATSOEVER.

I'm hanging on to the Zherdev because it's our original third jersey and that combined with the player name (Z's ungodly talented) means that that one might be worth something someday... But the Brule, which is the newest model jersey, is most likely worthless since he's pretty much considered a bust at this point.

I have a few options here: 1. Wear the sweaters only when they're in town. 2. Save the Zherdev since if we ever get good that'll be worth something some day and have the name and number on the Brule removed and get O'Connor 29 on the back. 3. Save the Z, and donate the Brule to Goodwill or something and ask for a new Nash in the blue, with the captain's C for Christmas and nothing else.

The name switch would gonna cost me big bucks, but still. I wanna get some use outta that jersey...

And I still have the rookie-year Nash sweater (which I can pretty much guarantee you will be worth something someday) and the Pazzy sweater as well as my school O'Connor 29 sweater, so I'm not sure I want to.

What do you guys suggest I do?

On a happier note, two of the three things I had my dad order came in. He still screwed it up, though, and he didn't order the Chad from Bleach plushie... TT_TT I did get my Kisuke Urahara plushie and my Urahara symbol wristband, though, so that's good.

I have quite the Bleach plushie collection starting now. I also have a Renji Abarai plushie upstairs somewhere.
