My mother's boyfriend says it's perfectly fine to say 'no-hitter' before the end of the game, as long as you're not talking to the pitcher in question. I say you don't say it until after the 9th ends, like you don't say 'shutout' before the end of the third period. It's just a rule! Everyone knows that. Super Good Twin Daisuke threw a great game, and a one hitter isn't anything to sneeze at, but I would have loved to see Jason have caught five. I blame Fox.
I changed my desktop. I really love
this map. And I have the background as burnt orange. Because I can.
Tell me where you think
this sign was posted. I have my guesses, but I'd love to hear yours.
What should we call you?: Lily.
In personal ad terms, you are: Sports fanatic, hockey and baseball. (Other than that, I'm flexible about who I date, but they have to be into sports. I've found that it's just my one limit.)
You live with: My mother.
Your daily life is mostly full of: teenagers. I teach high school. After that, sports. Sometimes during that. Often times, during that.
If you could tell us some dark secrets from your past...: you'd probably be disappointed, because they're not all that dark.
You use your LJ for: sports. And twitter. About sports.
You lie about your schedule so you'll be able to: skate. Though I don't lie, but I've turned down middle school subbing to skate. And I'd do it again.
You're proud of your nerdy knowledge of: Star Trek. My sports knowledge isn't 'nerdy', says Jim Rome.
You want more nerdy knowledge of: Star Wars. I'm not that great on the expanded universe.
Your dream job would be: published million dollar selling author. Official scorer for a MLB or NHL team.
You really love: hockey and baseball. Love in a way I cannot actually put into words.
People are impressed when you: go on and on about sports. I've surprised the hell out of a lot of people that way. A lot.

These days you're reading: A popular history of Texas.
And the next three songs on your iPod/media player of choice/CD are: "Addicted to Love" Robert Palmer. "Prop 8: The Musical" Various Artists. "Salt Shaker" Lil John and the East Side Boys.

Your perfect day off includes: as many sporting events as I can watch or attend. And mushroom pizza.
