make patrick kane play left wing FOR AMERICA

Still watching the Olympics, still enjoying the hell out of BBC coverage, and still pretty much delighted at seeing awesome athletes be awesome, no matter the nationality or sport. Although Gabby Douglas is made of magic and seeing Zou Kai win gold on floor this morning made my heart clutchy with happiness. :D (At no point did I rewatch 2008 gymnastics just because I needed to see China win things and also Nastia Liukin. Nope. But JFC 2008 was made of amazing.)

A fun game to play with the Olympics called "Olympics or gay porn?"

Here's to Murray beating Federer for gold. Go Team GB! I have faith he can do it. :D

In non-Olympics news, I keep meaning to make a Teen Wolf rec list, but I figure most of you in the fandom have already read them. I may do so at a later date anyway?

For all you DCU fans, here is an adorable comic about the DCU heroes as elementary school kids: Little League. It's ongoing and kind of painfully adorable. Ignores, of course, a lot of canon timelines and whatnot.

For any remaining SasuNaru fans out there, here is an adorable futurefic I read the other day where Sasuke and Naruto have their own genin teams and accidentally date: Baby Animals, Weddings, And Other Things Not Normally Associated With Uchiha Sasuke. It's super cute. I miss my manga fandoms.

It's August! That's killing me a little bit inside. But August means almost September, which means pre-season (please please please happen, Hawks @ Flyers) and then October, which means, finally, hockey season again.

This past week was rough but I get to eat Indian food today. \o/ And wonder if SJM will ever come back. Mimi, I miss you and your stupid boys doing stupid things. I also miss having an excuse to use and improve my Chinese.

This post is all over the place and yet still painfully pointless. My life is pretty boring. Do I win a medal in this?

Yay this entry is full of things relevant to you. :D Sometimes I wonder if anyone is still out there in LJ-land, lol.

I WISH I COULD GO BACK TO SINGAPORE BAWWW. ;___; I miss so much.

:D! I AM ALWAYS HERE. and I wonder that a lot, too! but then I have to comfort myself with the thought that it's just that ... other people ... actually ... have ... lives. /fail. okay so maybe that's not that much of a comfort, haha.


FUDDDDDDDDDDDD. we are apparently (idk anymore) very welcoming of white collar foreign workers! so I am sure if you tried you could get a job here!

There is life on the internet! There is more than one kind of life, anyway. And sometimes that RL bit makes me tired and just want to indulge in internet tiemz.

Singapoooore. We'll see. Future plans, WHAT ARE THOSE. /bad at life

LOLOLOLOL I had to reblog that magnificent Olympics-or-gay-porn thing.

I get so bored every time I look at the hockey blogs (Nash, Doan, Coyotes, ugh just kill me now) that I have missed any speculation about the CBA and its progress. I do know that they can start the regular season without a new one in place, and I just hope that holds true for the preseason (I don't see why it wouldn't). Still, the longer it goes on without ticket sales, the more worried I'm going to get. :(((

(When I was in Philly I broke down and got a Giroux shirt. I don't know WHAT i'm going to wear to Hawks v Flyers. Something not red or orange, I suppose).

[identity profile] meiface.livejournal.com 2012-08-06 12:15 am (UTC)(link)
IT'S SO GREAT. And swimmers/divers have very nice bodies, you gotta admit. ;)

Ugh, yeah, all the hockey blogs and news these days is just painfully boring. The last exciting thing was Semin's signing by the Canes - now dead again until something happens with Doan, I guess, or maybe Bobby Ryan.

I approve of the Giroux shirt! My bias says obviously that is what you should wear, but I know your heart lies with the Hawks too so ahaha. I will be loud and proud in orange. I will cry when the Flyers play the Canes, but I will be in red. I have hierarchies, barely, and they will probably involve tears either way.

Tickets are out for Hawks @ Flyers!

Eeeeeee! Do you have any opinions or knowledge about where is best to sit?

[identity profile] altri-uccelli.livejournal.com 2012-08-06 08:43 pm (UTC)(link)
Never mind, I bought them: section 103, row 7. Kind of a splurge for me (and seriously, fuck the service charge) but I'm so excited to be pretty close to the ice.

I don't know if this will work as a link, but here's my ice view from the Flyers' website:

http://www.seats3d.com/nhl/philadelphia_flyers/#/p_103_2/

Yay!!!!!!!

[identity profile] meiface.livejournal.com 2012-08-06 09:33 pm (UTC)(link)
We were thisclose to buying tix in Section 103! But we decided to go for 112 on the opposite side instead, row 15. I was totally googling "best place to sit at a hockey game" ahaha and all the results said behind the goal is good for action in that end but misses stuff on the other end, and best vantage point to see the game is center ice about 10 rows up or on the second tier. Whatever. First game, we'll get closer to the players and then we'll know for the future, right? :D

If you're not opposed, we should totally meet up at some point!

[identity profile] altri-uccelli.livejournal.com 2012-08-06 09:58 pm (UTC)(link)
It'd totally be fun to meet up! :D

Just read a Derek/Stiles fic that I really liked, btw: Trickster Makes This World (http://archiveofourown.org/works/479272?page=1#comments) by [livejournal.com profile] wldnst. I read it because she's on my flist, but can't really cope with diving into the fandom without guidance so I would make good use of your reclist should you post it. :)

[identity profile] meiface.livejournal.com 2012-08-06 10:56 pm (UTC)(link)
Ooh thank you for the rec! That's brand new and looks super shiny. :D

Yes, let's stay in contact about meeting up then. Ahh I can't believe it's August and then Sept soon!

[identity profile] theafterimages.livejournal.com 2012-08-05 04:53 pm (UTC)(link)
I would enjoy seeing your Teen Wolf recs post! That's one fandom where I read based on what other people recommend rather than exploring it myself (which is how I am with most fandoms, actually. Hockey RPF is one of the few exceptions.)

[identity profile] meiface.livejournal.com 2012-08-06 12:17 am (UTC)(link)
Danny!! :D

Thanks for letting me know! I'll put up that rec list soonish then. There is so much fic since this fandom exploded, man, and that only makes me greedy for more fic to my tastes, haha. There is a lot of good stuff out there already though!

[identity profile] ranwae.livejournal.com 2012-08-05 06:24 pm (UTC)(link)
Zhou Mi's drama comes out this month if that interests you XD I basically love the cast of his drama b/c they all adore ZM <333

IDK if SJM will come out ever but ZM keeps mentioning comeback things but I think thats just him being optimistic :^D

I'm just happy we'll get to see ZMimi again soon ♥

[identity profile] meiface.livejournal.com 2012-08-06 12:18 am (UTC)(link)
Ooooh, yes definitely interested, because I love Calvin & Victoria too! The plot of the drama is pretty ridiculous but I'll probably watch anyway just for the cast. ♥ Hopefully that will improve my Mandarin until SJM comes back. (If they come back...)

Mimimimimimiiii.

[identity profile] ranwae.livejournal.com 2012-08-06 01:10 am (UTC)(link)
have you listened to the radio interview (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6pSQ9jAGKV8) of the guys in WLWI? (oheyy don't look at the subs so it can help youwith your mandarin \o/ ) ugh i super love this cast <333

sobs if you don't end up shipping ChaoMi... it is real XD

[identity profile] meiface.livejournal.com 2012-08-06 02:06 am (UTC)(link)
hahaha I think I have been incepted into shipping ChaoMi due to all my former Qmi-shipping friends flailing all over it. Thanks for the radio interview link, i will listen to that at some point to build myself up for the drama. \o/

/JUMPS ALL OVER CUTE SASUNARU

(And hey, if you are missing manga fandoms, JUST SAYIN'... (http://mangafox.me/manga/kuroko_no_basuke/) I have to revoke all the nice things I've been saying about the anime, though, it BETRAYED ME.)

Yay, glad you finally got to eat Indian food! What did you get?

[identity profile] meiface.livejournal.com 2012-08-06 12:20 am (UTC)(link)
I KNOW I KNOW. I also have to catch up on One Piece and my BL series too. I miss manga but every time I mean to get caught up on it or start on something new, inevitably Teen Wolf or hockey news distracts me. /o\ IDK what happened to my life, Sapphy.

Oh noo, you'll have to tell me what they did sometime this week.

I got chicken krahi and samosas and it was super delicious. Have you been to Red Toque Cafe before? Tiny little place in DC but really good food.

2008 was a great year. This year was pretty fun too, minus the excessive Phelps coverage (I mean, props to him but I don't need to or want to see him every 20 minutes omg). I tuned into the BBC Coverage the other day and it is everything better than NBC. I get to see teams other than Team USA?! OMFG. WHAT. PREPOSTEROUS??

I loved the gymnastics this year! I was so angry when I missed the "broadcast" :c The Russian team breaking down had me much too upset. Also Ruta Meilutyte is a bundle of cute. What in the world was I doing at 16 years old.

It's always gay porn. (http://darkblue.tumblr.com/post/28373607333/the-score-bars-are-leaving-so-much-to-the)

I've been meaning to watch Teen Wolf since it's all over tumblr. But lazy. And Olympics. :c

[identity profile] meiface.livejournal.com 2012-08-06 02:20 am (UTC)(link)
I was so busy preparing to start law school summer of 2008 that I don't think I paid as close attention to the Olympics as I did this year; my memories are mostly of the opening & closing ceremonies and, of course, China taking gold in men and women's gymnastics. It's been fun getting to see way more events this year and especially the delightful BBC commentary. :D

The Russian team was so goooooooooooooood. Just not good enough for gold and it was heartbreaking to see how upset they were. ;__; That said, still thrilled for Gabby Douglas on all-around!

ahahaha omg MORE GAY PORN ALWAYS. Oh Olympics telecasters and their awesome life choices.

TW is silly but actually surprisingly fun and plotty and great. Maybe a rec list will get you into fic and into canon? That's what happened to me, anyway...

[identity profile] danii06.livejournal.com 2012-08-06 01:57 am (UTC)(link)
Ohmygod, Little League! I discovered that a few weeks ago and it never fails to warm my heart with cute. I especially enjoyed the bit about Darkseid as a gym teacher.

LOLing forever at the Olympics or Gay Porn. Lean nubile bodies and strategically placed teletexts for the fucking win. And YAY for Murray! Payback for Wimbledon, finally.

I don't follow Naruto, though I'm peripherally aware of the fandom and the general plot but since I'm on always in the mood for cute, I shall go forth and indulge. Thanks for reccing it!

[identity profile] meiface.livejournal.com 2012-08-06 02:22 am (UTC)(link)
IT IS SO CUTE. I need more, immediately! :D

Batman's "Robin" slayed me a little.

Linked in above comment but another round of "Olympics or gay porn?" () SO GREAT.

The fic is pretty lighthearted and adorable but also has a semblance of plot, so I hope it is a pick-me-up for you. ♥

[identity profile] askmehow.livejournal.com 2012-08-06 06:25 am (UTC)(link)
Wooooo, Murray!!

Re: the Teen Wolf rec list, please do put one together; I've only just started reading fics in that fandom, and recs would really help. :)

[identity profile] meiface.livejournal.com 2012-08-06 09:35 pm (UTC)(link)
So happy for him to get that Olympic gold by beating Federer. :D

Yes, the rec list is in the works! May go up tonight or tomorrow. Excited for tonight's ep ahhhhh. Every fic is written with the expectation of getting Jossed these days, haha.
