but if I cut you, Nando, you still bleed Liverpool red

[meitachi]

I had a great weekend from wandering the sunny streets of DC to screaming at hockey in a bar (much to the amusement of various guys who apparently find it bemusing that girls are into hockey, okay then) and knocking back Fireflies (sweet tea vodka & lemonade ♥) to watching the absolute terriblamazing clusterfuck that was Game 3 of the Pens-Flyers series. But I'm going to take a little break from hockey to talk about how I accidentally rediscovered all my feelings about football.

I mean, first, there were all those pics of Xabi Alonso in a suit looking ungodly hot.

And then Saturday night at the bar, alongside all the great hockey, they were also replaying the Liverpool-Everton match and STEVIE G ON MY TV. ♥♥♥ I still hate you Suárez but YAY LIVERPOOL. Get some.

And then I remembered how this video from a week ago made my day:

(source)

I LOVE YOU CRISPY, I DO. I LOVE YOU AND YOUR RIDICULOUS TALENT AND YOUR UNHEALTHY AMOUNTS OF HAIR GEL. AND I REALLY LOVE YOUR THIGHS OF THUNDER.

Kaká appreciates them too. :D :D :D

Related, here is a 30K CrisKa AU rec where Cris is a half-demon and Kaká is a priest.


REAL MADRID V. BARCELONA THIS SATURDAAAAAAY.

The only response to all these feelings, of course, was to go reread all of conspiire's football/World Cup superlatives askfdkls ugh she is the funniest. Hair possession: a fact you ignore at your own peril. Trufax.

Speaking of hair, Nando is blond again. NANDO IS BLOND AGAIN WHY DID YOU LEAVE US YOU TERRIBLE PERSON? ;_______;

And, okay, because I can never not have hockey thoughts, here is a fun and shallow thought: CAN SOMEONE PLEASE WRITE KANER TEACHING JEFF HOW TO UNDERSTAND A DIRTY JOKE? (Or forochel should finish and post the Kaner/Jeff she's chatficced at me...) I just need Jeff to be introduced to debauchery through Kaner debauching him any means necessary, for the good of Jeff's future career in the NHL. I would write this myself but it would require the invention of too many "that's what she said" jokes and those are hard.

Yeah. You see what I did there.

[forochel.livejournal.com]

I think this was BEFORE Torres became a father, so ... yeah, baby had cause for concern. xD

[suxing.livejournal.com]

loooool, this. i was like WHAT DID YOU DO NANDO THAT WOULD CAUSE A BABY TO HAVE SUCH AN ANXIOUS （　ﾟ Дﾟ） FACE, JUST. WHAT. :|

[diora1.livejournal.com]

I was sucked into watching soccer/football that is not world cups by Meretricula's fic - I was scrolling through the genderswap tag on AO3, thought it sounded interesting, and now I keep watching Messi everything. Not nearly as obsessively as I do hockey and the blackhawks, but El Clasico might kill me. And I'm not a diehard Madridista or Cule - god knows how either group handles it all.

[meiface.livejournal.com]

WHY MESSIIIII? :(

El Clásico is always a beautiful shitshow. ♥ Hala Madrid!

[diora1.livejournal.com]

It was a Messi fic that sucked me in, with genderflipped Fabregas. And I wanted to know more about the delightful midgets of the fic.

Now I just want people to stop comparing Messi, CRon and whoever because they are both fabulously talented and I just want to enjoy that without various media insisting that to like one of them means I have to despise the other or some such nonsense. stupid media.

[meiface.livejournal.com]

Oh yeah, sports will always do that though - play up A Big Rivalry or comparison or some such. Basically, pro sports writers do RPF too!

I barely read football fic but :D :D :D the CrisKa one was super good.

[herwhereabouts.livejournal.com]

OH GOD NANDO. The lulz is back. I've missed it so.

I am going to be clutching my face and watching the Real vs Barca game. MY FACE.

[meiface.livejournal.com]

THE BLOND IS BACK. Does that mean he's going to start scoring again? Because I really do not need him to do that for Chelsea. :(

I MIGHT BE WATCHING HOCKEY DURING THAT GAME. I FEEL TERRIBLE. But they air hockey here and not football and I'm away from my computer/streams that day. /o\ The shaaaame.

[herwhereabouts.livejournal.com]

Ugh, the sad thing is, I can totally imagine him thinking that going blond might bring back his skills. IT DOESN'T WORK THAT WAY NANDO. Poor thing.

Hockey is totally acceptable! I'm getting football channels because it comes in my sports package, thank god. So, yes. I'll be cheering for Messi to fail and cry a million tears.

[meiface.livejournal.com]

I fully support cheering for Messi to fail (or fall) and cry a million tears.

I cheer for Sidney Crosby to do the same, but I actually like Sidbot. I DON'T KNOW, MAYBE I'M JUST A BAD PERSON.

[herwhereabouts.livejournal.com]

YOU ARE NOT A BAD PERSON. I sometimes want to pet Sid on the head and give him cookies, but other times it's all about crying a million tears. It's his fault, basically.

[intomorning.livejournal.com]

Madrid, you can do it against Barça!

Ngl, I'm looking forward to watching some football again w/ Euro 2012.

[meiface.livejournal.com]

Yes! No World Cup for another 2 years but EURO 12! :D Spain! Germany!

And the Olympics are this year too, wow. It's kind of hard to believe.

But first - playoff hockey. /o\ Taking over my life.

[transitorial.livejournal.com]

I have little to add to this conversation other than eeeee Barca and Real Madrid both won last weekend and now we've got a versus match this weekend and eeeeeeeee~

[meiface.livejournal.com]

THAT IS VERY VERY RELEVANT COMMENT I APPROOOOOOVE. ♥

I'm wondering if I can stream it somehow or find a bar showing it... It's also another Big Hockey Day so askldfjdlk. Sports! Such a commitment!

[celerywench.livejournal.com]

THERE IS TOO MUCH FOOTY AND NOT ENOUGH HOCKEY ON THIS POST. DISLIKE.

[meiface.livejournal.com]

Ugh PERFECT STAAL. I get stuck on the first picture a lot and forget to scroll down which, tbh, is just fine with me.

WHAT IS THAT TERRIBLE LAST PICTURE.

But awwwwww lesser Staals make me happy in my heart place. ♥

[suxing.livejournal.com]

oh god el clasico this weekend meiiiiiii meiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii i am going to be up at arse o'clock in the morning clutching my real madrid jersey and crying hysterically like so Q___Q and having the mother of mental breakdowns, but whatever it will be great--

[meiface.livejournal.com]

OH GOD IT'S AT 2PM ET SO 2 IN THE MORNING FOR YOU. DON'T HURT YOURSELF. Idk where I'll be but if I can I will try to watch it. /o\

HALA MADRID!

[meritjubet.livejournal.com]

I like the idea of Jeff being corrupted :D

[meiface.livejournal.com]

AS DO I.

I am making suspicious faces at you for recognizing these names, haha. But I suppose Mishy and I have been plastering it all over your flist...

[meritjubet.livejournal.com]

I have actually read fic! lolzers including Eric/Jeff which is fun. But this semester is busy at the moment so little time for fangirling. It is very sad.

[meiface.livejournal.com]

busy busy busy, I definitely understand. Fic-reading/lurking is the way to go. So much less exhausting, haha. Good luck! ♥ Though I'm always here if you, uh, want recs. Or fangirling. :D

[meritjubet.livejournal.com]

indeed. well after today things get slightly easier. for a week at most probably :P I just have to finish off a research draft for my honours so no big :P and I will probably be looking all coy at you soon asking for recs... soon.

[meiface.livejournal.com]

I, like Mishy, am a bit of a sucker for the coyness. SO THAT WILL BE FINE.

YOU CAN DOOOO IIIT. \o/

[meritjubet.livejournal.com]

lol I def know Mishy is. I have past chats filled with recs from all sorts of fandoms. She is lovely like that.

Yess. well one can hope anyway.
