In other "Things that are awesome" news, spastic_visions is hosting a sports friending meme HERE. So, if you like sports and want more friends that like sports, head on over there post-haste!

( Also, in regards to last night's Ducks/Islanders game... )

WE WON!!!!!!Though it was pretty touch and go at the end; I was really nervous for our chances. I'm just glad we played like Baylor and not like Georgetown and Vandy. My bracket is a little worse for wear after last night; in addition to the Ohio upset-seriously, what the heck, Georgetown?-four of my other picks-UTEP, Texas, UNLV, and Marquette-are ( Read more... )

The first one is blue_hobbit who is one of the sweetest individuals you will ever meet. She always has a kind word to say and sends the most adorable cards. Anyways, on occasion, she also posts cute animal pictures. I hope you have an incredible day, and ( Read more... )

I may have created a monster. I was watching the highlights from last night's game when my roommate asks me I'm doing. I told her what I'm watching, and next thing you know, she wants to know more about hockey! Well, right now it's mostly just me showing her checking players out and rating them according to their looks, but she is impressed by the ( Read more... )

( WARNING: LOTS OF IMAGES AHEAD (also some are kind of big) )

DISCLAIMER FOR THE CANADIANS ON MY FLIST: I love Canada. It has given me many things that I hold dear, such as maple syrup, Mounties, Tim Horton's(which I've never actually had but understand it's quite delicious), and Nathan Fillion-for whom I will be eternally grateful. However, that being said, for the duration of this game? All bets are off ( Read more... )

Sometimes the Olympics provides us with things we didn't know we needed. For example, Ovechkin putting the smack down on Jagr, this piece on the ice dancing costumes, a team of Norwegians with awesome names and even more awesome back stories(See: Mads Hansen and why he wears that full face mask), and this:

Apparently the costumes are made from ( Read more... )
