[public] but whatever
I came on to lj with the intention of responding to comments and skimming through journals but I am so tired that instead I am going to leave a rambly post about a lot of nothing. I'm not even getting into describing our trip (let's just say that I now desperately need a vacation from my family) because that would take far too much time and energy. So I'll say that I was just so exhausted that I started thinking of Michael Ballack's hair and his lack of it that I began to cry softly to myself. Because of his hair. And I thought that I was okay with the new style. Apparently not. And I don't think I took the time to squee over the fact that Shawn Green is now a New York Met. I have loved Shawn for years and I got all excited over just the possibility that he would come to my team. His debut ended up being last Thursday night so I had to miss it and I'm seeing him in blue and orange for the first time now (it's the only reason I didn't trek right up to bed after the dishes were done). I am far too enthused about this trade for my little (well, he's 6'4" but whatever; it's still shorter than my father) Jewish boy. I can only imagine what state I will be in tomorrow and knowing my mother she will be less than sympathetic about continued nothingness from me but I don't really have anything to do anyway so I'll try to come online. No guarantees, of course. And why on earth are my Mets trying so hard to lose to the Astros? We're only 15 games away from clinching our playoff spot which means there will be champagne-drenched baseball players in my future and I can't tell you how happy that makes me. (GASP! I just thought of Shawn covered in champagne! I dearly hope that such a game does not fall on a Jewish holiday.) Yes, this could be about seventeen different paragraphs instead of one but that would make it feel less rambly for some reason. Like anyone is going to read this anyway. (And now Stef will adamantly insist that that's not true and proceed to comment back with quotes on everything just to prove it, for which I love her muchly.) I will now conclude by sharing this pic because it is oh-so-wonderful and of course I mean the one at the top so don't ask which one I love. I love them far too much for my own good.
