[public] sometimes i have a strong urge to shoot my mother but i never follow through
i. trixieblue tagged me so here are 6 random facts about me:
1. I have recently begun falling asleep to The Lion King soundtrack, just because. (And I can't stop thinking of my dear Poldi whenever I hear "I Just Can't Wait to Be King" because that is so his song.)
2. I frequently wear pants in the summer because I am extremely sensitive about air conditioning. This summer I am okay in shorts but I wear pants because I spend so much time on my knees at work.
3. I have been getting irritating hives on random parts of my body since March of 2005 and we have no frakkin' idea why. There is no identifiable pattern to them at all, and I am not happy about their recent increase in appearance.
4. I have recently been engaged in a serious mental debate of wondering whether I want Torsten Frings to cut his hair, or to keep it long. I just cannot make up my mind about it.
5. I actually like my job. I work with a bunch of idiots and I'll never make more than minimum wage, but I do like my job.
6. I have deathfic issues. Serious ones. I can't tell you how many characters I have considered killing in recent fic ideas. It's a lot (and it includes Charles Gunn, Miranda Bailey, Aaron Pierce, the entire cast of Firefly, and Nick Andopolis). As I said, issues.
I tag: 39tries, eirian, lostonbroadway, serenelystrange, vaguelyclear, and wonderkid, or anyone else that wants to do it. But only if you want to do it.
ii. Tomorrow night ESPN2 is showing a game between Columbus Crew and Everton FC at 7. I know almost no one on each of the teams but I still want to watch because it's not only football, but football featuring an English team, and that is very awesome.
iii. The German players are all very pretty. Like, scary pretty.
iv. I recently saw Green Street Hooligans (football is awesome but violence is icky; omg the slash) and Y Tu Mama Tambien (Gael and Diego are both delightfully pretty and wonderful, despite being much younger than most actors that I enjoy).
v. Let's say that someone is going to be going on a plane for the first time in eight years and they are positively terrified out of their minds. What songs would you recommend they listen to to focus on other things?
vi. I went through my football tapes today to figure out just which WC matches I have. I've got just about all of Germany-Italy, Germany-Argentina, Germany-Portugal, England-Sweden, France-Italy, and USA-Italy. Woe is me that i have more Italy matches than England or USA ones. Also, I was sure that I had the Ukraine-Switzerland penalty kicks as well as the post-game weeping from Spain-France in which there is a momentary shot of Xabi Alonso's arm as he is trading shirts, but apparently I taped over them at some point. And I spent a rather large amount of time repeating "I love Stevie" to my Winnie the Pooh stuffed animal.
vii. It has been 16 days since the final game of the World Cup and I miss my games dearly. I might not survive four more years, particularly not if I don't get to see any of the Euro 2008 games in the meantime.
viii. Tomorrow is Wednesday, which is unbelievably awesome because I love Wednesdays. I have absolutely nothing to do on Wednesdays. 'Tis my favorite day of the week.
ix. There was going to be something else but my memory has failed me again (no surprise there) so I will end now.
