happy, happy birthday lille!



Hey [livejournal.com profile] celerywench, I hear it's your birthday -

And I already gave you your gifts (BUY SOME HIPSTER GLASSES) but you deserve a love post too. So. Brace yourself.

Dear Lille,

It's still hilarious and weird to me that we've known each other since we were six, then forgot about each others' existence for approximately 15 years, and then found each other again through Louise and kpop. So we can't be bitter about kpop too much, right? It gave us Zhou Mi and a Korean-drama-appropriate finding of each other. (dramatic music)

I've been saying for years now probably that you're like a little sister to me, but then I think - well, you're more a friend than a sibling. But then I'm like, oh, is this what people mean when they say their sisters are like their best friends and someone they can talk to about anything? Is this what it might be like to have a sibling who's not 9 years apart in age?? I have no idea. But! We might as well be siblings for all our family/parental/mother issues... For all that we share and can talk about despite being, in many ways, so very different.

I will always think this is an accurate summary of our relationship:



We've seen the best and worst of each other, we are ridiculous and hilarious and judgy and terrible. We despair at the world and ourselves, we hate people, we struggle with our respective issues, we flail and explode with the dreaded feels (then moan about those damned feels), we laugh, we drink, we talk, we speculate, we dream.

It's hard to imagine my life without you in it - or even remember when that was a time (during those years where we forogt about each other, haha). I was looking back at one of my journal entries from 2007 when we'd just "started to get to know each other". A little surreal.

I'm super glad I'm in DC now and super glad we're in each others' lives. We will always be there to judge each other, mock each other, support each other...judge and mock other people, flail over hockey and other things, and all the best and worst and terriblazing things we do.

You're awesome and incredible and you should believe it more often. Thanks for being you and continue being you for all the years to come. :D Happy birthday!

Love love love,
Mei



So now have some things that I hope will make you happy:

































































I love you, Lille. Happy birthday! ♥

Oh no I'm starting to feel the Ebs feels. NOOOOOOOOOOOOO.

Who is that beautiful boy directly underneath the t-shirt pic?

ahahaha that would be Brayden Holtby, rising superstar Caps goalie who was beastly for the Caps in the playoffs. ARE YOU SURE YOU DON'T WANT TO LOVE THE CAPS?

[identity profile] altri-uccelli.livejournal.com 2012-08-29 04:53 pm (UTC)(link)
WHY IS HE THE ONE PLAYER WITH A FACE MASK, I ASK YOU. Yeah, that name is familiar to me and I remember him being talked about during playoffs. I'm determined to go to Hawks/Caps on Jan 5 but that's not going to help me love the Caps. I think they play my second-tier favorite teams (Panthers, Canes) too much for me to get fond (plus the Flyers, of course).

Are you happy about the Semin move? And second question, have you heard what happens with our Philly/Hawks tickets if there's no game?
I can't believe there's such sucky NCAA hockey in our region. >:(
Also, are you on Twitter?

[identity profile] meiface.livejournal.com 2012-08-29 05:13 pm (UTC)(link)
I am pretty happy about the Semin move, I think. I'd be happier if we had a full season for the new Canes lines to get comfortable under Muller and maybe do some offensive damage. I'm also hoping with more big-name forwards like the Staals and Semin, there will be less pressure/attention on Skinner and he can develop his game without being targeted, which leads to...tantrums and stupid penalties. Let him make his goal-scoring chances! Hopefully be able to rack up points like he did his rookie year.

I called the ticket sales people when I bought the tickets actually, haha. They said if there's no game, we get refunded. If the game is rescheduled, our tickets are valid for the rescheduled game. Considering the nigh-inevitable lockout, we're probably looking at a refund. Bah. Since I already took off work, I might just go up to Philly to wander/eat cheesesteaks/complain about the lack of hockey.

I'm on Twitter as wonderchul. :D
