and they say crouchy can't score. ha.

[astonish]

oh football, how i love you. i get out of my always boring government class and do a mad dash to the library, and what do i find? a beautiful scoreline waiting for me, that's what. first of all, riise and momo both on the starting team? joy! i had been reading all the articles about momo getting ready to play this morning but i don't think i really

i've only just noticed this post. :P i did a complete all-nighter last night to finish my history project and then slept for five hours when i got home. :P

[astonish]

it's alright, i've been sick so i probably wouldn't have been able to respond until now anyway! :*

momo is mohammad sissoko, he plays midfield. if you saw a tall black guy wearing glasses in the middle of the pitch, that's momo. why i was so happy to see him play is that he got kicked in the head during a champions league game last month and had to have surgery on his eye. they said he'd have up to 80% vision loss in the eye and that he'd never play football again, but well, guess they were wrong. here's a good article about himit was 7-0 in the end, actually! cisse got one right at all the end, so all of our strikers scored (except for robbie, since he wasn't played). but it was truly brilliant. i knew you'd love liverpool if you just saw them play at their best

[astonish]

ps. let me lay out all the nicknames i know, so maybe you won't get confused. momo is sissoko, like i mentioned. morientes is mori, more often than not. riise is sometimes called johnny rockets. if you ever hear anything like bean pole or something referring to height, it's crouch obviously, though i just like to call him crouchy. carra is jamie carragher. pepe is reina, didi is hamann, and if you ever hear anyone refer to god, that's robbie fowler, because of his history with liverpool. flo-po was florent sinama-pongolle, but we loaned him out to ... newcastle, maybe? so you probably won't see that one mentioned much anymore. rafa or rafa bean refers to rafael benitez, the liverpool manager, who you can usually spot on the sidelines gesturing wildly. oh, and captain fantastic! that's stevie. :)

i don't like when i like two different teams. i'm one of those people who tends to favor just one team in competition. but now... *sighs

[astonish]

i know what you mean. it's a bit conflicting to like two teams/players/etc.

and i get what you mean about liverpool and manchester united too. liverpool is by far my favorite team, they just gel like no one else, and i think i like players i might never like because of it. and i like man u because of singular players too, ruud and cris and, oh gosh, pique (who i'm sure you've never seen - he's young and pretty much only plays for the reserves, except for a few games where he's used as a sub). ideally, i'd love for liverpool to bump man u down to #3, but i'm trying to stay realistic. i think united are the only ones that stand a chance at catching chelsea and i just do not want chelsea to win. i don't care who beats them as long as someone does!

you need to read of_doom's xabi/stevie! i think she's written two and they are both beautiful. and idees_fixes just wrote a fabulous x/s fic: conviction. but hey, maybe they're just not your pairing. they don't work for everyone

i need to make more liverpool icons tonight as well as supernatural ones. do you watch that show? i just saw an rerun episode tonight. i can't believe i never watched it before! albeit i was terrified in the beginning of the episode and had to turn off the volume. so good and so slashy - well, incest slashy but i'm going to hell already so might as well go good. :P

i dunno. :P i still haven't actually watched a match with xabi in it yet, i think. they might work for me. but i already have an abiding love for ruud/cris and sheva/kaka (so otp it hurts).

i love thursdays just for that reason. however, the matches start before i get home from school. :( that sucks. but still sheva and kaka. so pretty. dida is awesome. :D i have to make some icons of him as well. (do you know any good sites with just footie pics, by any chance?)

i would love to go to school in rome though. i just love it there. however, i don't know if i'd ever do it. or go to oxford or cambridge. especially since it costs so much to live in europe and i don't know if

[astonish]

i need to finish keywording mine! :) and yes, i most definitely do. i've actually been tempted to write supernatural slash before, but i'm not sure i've got the characters done. i've always liked rps because you almost create the boys you're writing about yourself.

they start before i get home too. but i generally tape them for later. this site is where i get most of my pics, they're the exact same pictures as gettyimages but without tags of any kind. i don't know how to go back in pictures on that site however

[mina_pak]

that's one of the reasons i like rps as well. although, i remember when i thought it was weird. :P

thanks for that site. :) i've always hated getty watermarks. they ruin half my icon ideas.

australia seems awesome and so does new zealand. i don't know, i've just always wanted to go to new zealand. :P i think it started with the piano although i guess it's odd for me to want to go there after that movie, i guess. i just love how close everything is in europe though. you can just take a train and be in another country in a few hours. it's brilliant. and italy. *sighs

[astonish]

rps is what i started out in - well, not slash, but i worked my way to it pretty quickly - so it was never really weird for me. but i can see how it might be

[mina_pak]

ah. lucky. :P i've never even been in the southern hemisphere. i don't think i've even seen the pacific ocean before even though i was in la for a day

[astonish]

i was trying to do a reverse of that, change a ruud/cris fic to sheva/kaka, but it didn't work. is it okay if you pick another song? i'm just having trouble with this one. i could pick out an easier one for you too, a song or something. if you want. :)

[mina_pak]

i'm sorry about not getting back to you earlier. i took a seven hour nap. :P and i like my prompt. at least, i think it's going to work out fine. :D

yeah. i kind of figured you would after i sent the blasted thing. it's just not a song that can really be applied to sheva/kaka. anyways, i've found another one and i'm figuring that it's going to be angsty fic but most of my songs are. or at least, most of the them that i feel can apply to sheva/kaka.

travis
the fear

all i wanted was the chance to say

[astonish]

this second song works really, really well! i've got half of a little ficlet done for you, it's turning out to be rather porny, oops. :/ and i'm trying to keep the angst at a minimum, but yeah, it's there.

[mina_pak]

yay. :D i'm happy it's working for you. my fic for you is going a bit slower because i have to do a bit of research for it. :P the muses demand it. porny is good. :) and i was expecting angst with this song so it's all good.

[mina_pak]

i should never talk about my fics before they're done. i think i'm going to switch the sheva/kaka and ruud/cris fics again because this storyline line takes too much information that i don't know.

[astonish]

hey, take your time. clearly i can't talk since i haven't finished mine either. i keep getting caught up. i don't know what it is, but i'm going to keep on with this idea. hopefully i'll have it done by tonight, but if not, definitely tomorrow. :***
