Fan Fiction: Boyfriends XIX

Think we need a new place. Chemy, if the new ones are still in the making, please re-post that old fashioned picture. You know, the one that MK and PK will stay together forever and forever. I also miss the Cutting Edge starring 6.0 and #9. Someone please fill the BFFF by-laws.

Sorry...I wrote in the old thread... OK...I was saying I wonder what would have happened...if NLK actually asked PK about MK... may be he was prepared... or may be he would have blushed and said "how did you know about us"??? hee hee hee... too funny... ???

did anyone happen to catch the comment mr. button made before MK skated? it was something like how MK picked the song because it touched her...hmmmmm.. it seems to me to touched her for a reason..........*cough*PK*cough*....anyways, i've been trying to search the internet for those pictures from the newspaper, but i can't seem to find them, although i've found a picture of PK when he was younger in hockey gear....

[mano]

the touching part, I meant. Heehee, wondering how touching PK got, okay I won't go there, mano get your mind out of the gutter!!! Here's an article for you all on PK thanks to JZ from PK Forum: (Quite interesting) *** Another article by Steve Bisheff!!!*** Anaheim - He is the Mighty Ducks' $10 million-a-year poster boy, one of the two or three more accomplished players in the NHL and, if a vote were taken today, probably the runaway winner as the most popular athlete in Orange County. And yet, Paul Kariya continues to skate amid a shroud of mystery. While the public adores him, it knows little about him. Although he has spent five spectacular seasons here, he has been as good at deflecting attention as he has been at perfecting shots, consistently wrapping himself in a well-padded cocoon of privacy. Kariya has refused to talk about his personal life, his search for acceptance off the ice, his transition from a chy teen-age Canadian sheltered by a loving family to one of Southern California's more eligible bachelors. All of it always has been off limits. Until now. Maybe because, at age 24, he has become more self-assured and outgoing, or maybe because he simply has realized his stature has grown so much among hockey fans that some sort of self-revelation was inevitable. Whatever the reason, Kariya sat down with a reporter recently and, for the first time, allowed a peek into his world beyond the hockey rink. Paul Kariya Unplugged, you might call it. So for all you Kariya-followers who have watched and wondered since this gifted, little man first came gliding into our view in 1994, here it is: He lives tastefully, but not luxuriously, in a relatively modest Tustin Ranch townhouse and drives a three-year-old "reliable" Lexus. His only apparent extravagance is a personal cook he hired to tend to his meals. Yes ladies, he dates "moderately," and wants to have a family eventually. But he concedes that's "a long way off." He doesn't frequent the local clubs as much as he did his first year or two, although he loves Las Vegas and the opportunity to play blackjack, laugh and let off steam with his teammates. He's a huge movie fan, likes mob films, Robert DeNiro and is something of a "Star Wars" freak, acknowledging that he saw "The Phantom Menace" six times this past summer and that he has watched the first two parts of the series "at least 20 times." And yes, in case you're wondering, he does have a favorite character. It is Yoda. He is an avid reader who prefers bestsellers and particularly mystery novels. One of his regular stops is a neighborhood Barnes & Noble, where he can spend hours browsing among the stacks. His musical tastes range from Eric Clapton to more middle-of-the-road, easy-rock stations. He likes Chicago and Boston and groups from the '70s and '80s. Sport is not his only profession, it is his passion. He is an avid golfer, enjoys watching baseball, football, basketball, boxing, and soccer. And ESPN Classic is one of his favorite TV haunts. The second oldest in a family of five children, he says his parents taught them all to be close, but independent. They stay in touch regularly and his older sister, Michiko, works as his personal financial coordinator. "I'm the first one to admit, it's been a growing process for me here," Kariya said. "I was shy at first. I wanted to keep a low profile. I felt I needed to prove to myself on the ice before I said things off the ice. Now I'm a lot more confident." And comfortable. "It's taken me a while, but yes, I like living in Orange County fulltime now. I think this is the best place to live, whether you're single or married. Obviously, among other things, it offers a great night life for a single guy." Not that Kariya is a night person. On the contrary. "My average day is pretty boring, actually," he said. "I probably spend more time working out than anything. I get up at 6 or 6:30, eat a big breakfast and, lately, spend at least a half hour rehabilitating my ankle. I have a strict stretching routine, then I drive down to my workout area and spend about three hours there. He tries to eat healthy. That's why he hired a cook. "But I don't mind going to McDonald's once in a while," he said. He hangs out mostly with other athletes, many of whom are married and whose wives are constantly trying to fix him up. "You know how it is," he said, smiling, " 'We have this wonderful babysitter we'd love for you to meet.' Yeah right." With his dark good looks and rising celebrity, Kariya probably doesn't have much problem meeting women, although he said it took some time for him to learn how to pick friends away from the ice. "Unless you knew someone before, you weren't sure," he said. "Some are solely interested in you because of who you are." For him, a special date is likely to be treated to "a nice dinner," maybe at somewhere such as the Ritz-Carlton Laguna Niguel, followed by a movie. He enjoys the fact that Orange County, unlike Vancouver or Toronto, he can maintain some semblance of normalcy. "I go to the malls here and not that many people recognize me," he said. "It's much worse back home. Here, it's great. Sometimes, in a restaurant, people say, 'You're so small in person,' or something like that." Interestingly, in his off-the-ice hours, much of Kariyas's time is spent watching and studying people who are masters at their respective crafts. DeNiro on screen. Greg Maddux on the pitching mound. Barry Sanders when he was still on the football field. The Mighty Ducks' all-star also is quick to gush about the front row seat he had at a Clippers game against the Chicago Bulls a couple years ago. "Getting to see Michael Jordan up close like that," Kariya said, "was really special. I was happy to get the chance to see him before he retired." He plays golf, although not as well as he once did. "When I was 14 or 15, I had a single-digit handicap," he said. "Not anymore, though. Not enough time." He's too busy concentration on the present, while maybe glancing a few years down the road, when a couple of family members might join him in the NHL. His brother, Steve, recently signed with the Canucks, and Martin, the baby of the family, has joined Paul's alma mater, the Universtiy of Maine, on a hockey scholarship. Paul Kariya is happy about that. He is happy about most things. He has money, success, friends, family, not to mention a new year-round, warm-weather base that seems to make him feel more at home with each passing day. He thinks of the future now and smiles. He should. Life is definitely good.

Very interesting!

is coming up....his b-day is oct. 16th and he's turning 25! what will MK get him? oh and here's that pic of PK when he was little....hee hee <img src=http://kodie.simplenet.com/samples/pics/kariyabb.jpg>

4 PK's birthday...MK will give him...???...Gee...now what was the title of the song for her new program???

[bearpaw]

Geez - I am away from fan fiction for a couple of days (Watching Kevin Millwood pitch an almost perfect game for the Braves) and so much has happened! NLK007, I love the name too! I think you did a great job as a sleuth keep up the good work! Mano - Great article! It doesn't matter how many times I see that picture of PK posted at the beginning of the thread I just can't seem to tire of it. I am also glad that the last game between the Stars and the Ducks didn't turn into a wrestling or boxing match. As soon as I saw that article on ESPN's web site, I knew you guys would have the inside scoop.

[mano]

PK's article above mentioned the number 6, 3 times. He watched Phantom Menace 6 times, and wakes up around 6 or 6:30. That's three unless I missed one...but then again he could be a satanist, heehee, just kidding. Could he at least mentioned Dave Matthews Band in there or figure skating or something. These guys got to give us something more tangible. Analysing this article is hard enough. MK added something new to her regular routine at the Kiss and Cry area. Normally we see her touch her nose to her ear thing. This time we witness her left eye (for her left wing man, eh?) wink as well as the nose to ear thing accompanied by "Hi everybody I love you". Okay, all for now. BTW, Thanks skatingfan for the well wishes. Don't worry, your teams will come around one of these days. It's been a long time in coming for us Mets fans. Hey, you always have Tiger and he had a great season, methinks. So anybody reporting from tonight's MD's game? Wonder if MK was there.

[mano]

Iniwan mo na kami (You left us already) without a bye your leave? What's up with that?!? Pictures will be nice, eh? I know, I'm due for a story one of these days but I've been contributing with interesting theories and such. We miss you!!! <font face=wingdings color=99ff99 size=4>JJJ</font>

MDs won, 5:3. I didn't see the game, mind you. I'm waiting for our brave spy. Are you sure he said "You don't need to worry" instead of "Michelle doesn't need to worry"? :-) BTW, NLK007, you need to sign a non-competitive agreement before your hiring can be official. We must stick to our "cause". There's no "self-promotion", no throwing yourself at PK, no melting at his feet etc, etc. In other words, you have to take the oath of allegiance to MK. :-) skatingfan, I guess we were not very subtle. LOL. I hope PK hasn't connected the dots. Mano, I was wondering what MK said in the kiss & cry before: "...I love you!". Are you sure it's "everyone out there", not "Paul"? :-) Geez, I know which B & N PK hanged out. I've been there several times recently. Book stores are the places where I usually hang out too. I guess I have to check out that one more frequently. :-) He's opened up? How come the reporter didn't ask with whom he moderately dated? :-)

I am terrribly sorry to inform, no MK sighting. Pretty good game tonight...at least we won. I waited for about 45 minutes for Paul to come out. He was the last one. ( I wonder what he was doing)Paul left alone, no Michiko, no MK, and thankfully no girlllzz. They have a 7:30am flight tomorrow to Jersey, they play them on Wednesday. Some of the team went to a club.( the ones that like to party and have a good time, like Teemu) Bill something, near the Pond. I believe Paul was going to stop by for a minute or two but he wanted to get home and rest up. BTW I found out about the club and flight time through the man who runs back and forth to get the cars for the guys( the valet I guess, they treat as a friend though,always chatting it up.). He's really sweet and I'm sure I can get more info if need be. =)I was going to stop by the club but I am sorry guys I was really tired, I only got 2 hours of sleep last night. =( I think Paul only got a little sleep too) because his game wasnt very good today, he tripped on his own a few times and fumbled the puck around more than usual...I wonder whats on his mind. I think I need to be a little more inconspicuous because tonight as I waited for the guys, Oleg Tverdovsky (hes one of the players) waved up at me...I think he is just used to me (and whoever Im with) waiting there. Hehehe.. he probably thinks I am pathetic. oh well...

When I was walking toward the tunnel a man who works for the pond was walking along side me.We started chatting, he asked how I was blah blah blah...anyways hee asked who I came to see and I said Paul. We talked about him a little bit and then I asked if the "celebrities" or famous athletes parked down with the players. He said sometimes or else they park in preferred parking..where I park! So what kind of car does Michelle drive?? Does anyone have a clue? I asked if he had ever seen Michelle Kwan (because she is my idol and I was hoping to see her here) at the pond for games but he said no but had heard she has come to a few. I wanted to ask more questions but ofcourse we were interupted, can't people just leave me alone when I am on my way to discovery?!!? Now I am off to bed again, see how loyal I am.. I wake up in the middle of the night to do this! I should be aloud at least one melt at Paul's feet...and I believe when Paul said "you don't have to worry"...he was day dreaming that he was talking to Michelle. ( But please I want to keep that special line for me...just this one thing.. =) hehe) I keep hearing his voice in my mind when I sleep. It echoes.. *oh swoooonnn* sorry sorry I am delirious I beg your forgiveness for swooonnning.

[mano]

You pretty much know how to get around the Pond and ask the right questions. James Bond, eat your heart out, LOL!!! I wish I had your guts. I'm pretty much speechless when it comes to meeting my fave athletes. Only managed a salute with Knicks Center Patrick Ewing. Dude I'd be beyond speechless if I ever meet somebody from the Ducks, which will never ever happen. Too bad I don't have tickets to the Devils/Ducks game tomorrow. It's just such a hassle to travel from downtown NYC to Continental Airlines Arena in Jersey. Hmmnn, PK not at his best, eh? Tripping over himself and the like. Must be upset MK wasn't in two of the Duck games and he has to leave for a 5 game trip away from the Pond and MK. Come on Michelle, give the guy a break so that he can actually score one of these days...er, I mean in the game, you know, get the puck past the goalie, yeah that's what I meant.

mano, you bad girl! NLK007, you can keep the memory and daydream (or nightdream for that matter), but no melting at his feet. Sorry, rules are rules. Great job though. It seems you know all the right questions to ask. Got a lot of spying experiences before? You have all the required thick skin and gumption. I like it! Keep it up! I knew MK wouldn't show yesterday. Now keep an eye out on 10/24's game. It's a Sunday afternoon game. MK will be in town. Oh, from what we heard, MK's parents bought her a gold Lexus SUV as a gift for her being accepted by UCLA. So keep an eye out on it. PK stayed up late Sunday night huh? Wondering what kept him up. :-)

Michelle drives a lexus SUV...not the smaller compact RS300 but the massive one (LX400?). Its width is equivalent to the length of a normal car. It's sooo BIG. Well anyway, being the stalker that I am...um yeah. I think that would be fun to see if you could find her and track her back to her car. Hey, it might freak her out...but you probably won't wee her again anyway.

I meant "see".

Next time we'll hear... Luv ya Paul!!! Blow a kiss... hee hee...

NLK007, follow up on that guy from the pond and next time flash fresh $100 bills to his face (Yingshan will cover expenses :-)). That should get him talkin'. We're getting somewhere finally! BTW, are you sure you heard "Michiko" not "Michelle K..." Ask PK if he recommends seeing the movies Message in the Bottle, Red Violin, and Romeo+Juliet. Mano, suddenly PK is revealing his very personal side????? What gives? Hohohoho, cute little PK and his jersey #15 (9 + 6 = 15, hmmm) Karin, welcome to BFFFland. HAR HAR, wonder. I have to dig out those pics from the archive but how about a new one: "... unless a nice girl falls on his...." <img src=http://www.geocities.com0/Tokyo/Flats/3170/pkmag.jpg>

ROTFLOL. Chemy that is sooo cute. What a wonderful combination. I love it.

[mano]

You never disappoint. BTW, Paul still looks like he's having problems with his quads in that picture. He looks pained...but then again that pained expression could be caused by being so close to his beloved yet he can't do anything to quench his desire 'cause the Censors Board is watching closely, sigh. BTW, Paul Kariya finally scored, nope not with MK as we all hoped (just kidding again folks), just at the Mighty Ducks/Devils game on Wednesday 10/13. Unfortunately they lost 3-2, sigh.

=) Hello Everyone...OK first of all Happy Birthday to Paul.. big 25 wow! I'm almost there too! Anyhow my question, can anyone give me an accurate answer as to who Anu or whatever in the pictures at disneyland is? is she a friend off teemu or what?! and why is Paul posing with her? Ok and the second thing I have to say is Paul might like Blonde girls. =( I have a picture in my media guide from arrowhead pond...and theres a picture of teemu dealing at casino night and paul (i think) is in it standing right next to a blonde chick who might be his "date". I think it is paul because you cant make out his face but it sure does look like him, now depending on who this girl Anu is then why are there 2 pics of paul next to blonde girls??
