I haven't had Internet for the past three days because I was at the Islamic Society for North America conference in Chicago. In three days I went to one full lecture and two half lectures. Very little of my life was dedicated to the ISNA conference.
However, very much of my life was dedicated to the following, despite not having Internet:
sugarlungs: that soccer ball is still pingponging in my head
snuzzie: idk if my heart can take it
snuzzie: I legit feel like I am burning my heart out
snuzzie: I get SO EXCITED& INVESTED

sugarlungs: WASTED.
I don't think I have been this addicted/obsessed/in love with a fandom since Harry Potter. And most of you knew me through my Bleach phase. I have fallen so fast and so hard. I haven't stopped thinking about football in a week.
I've been constantly wikiing players, teams, leagues. I looked for Brazilian NT & Real Madrid iPhone covers. I can't tear myself away from the FYWorldCup or FYKaka tumblrs. I keep reading articles, I'm following at least three different Twitters that are tweeting in Spanish/Portuguese. I don't speak either.
I've been reading World Cup fic, writing World Cup fic, researching clubs, planning to attend a club game in Europe with
sugarlungs. I read read people slash fic for the first time the other day and I couldn't get over how much I loved it. If I've gone a few hours without checking
ontd_football it's been too long.
I've fallen so hard for this fandom, for this game, for these men it's sick. I feel completely drunk on them all the time and I can't stop. What is going ooooooooooooooon.
I am just SO SO excited for club season I'm going to watch all of the Real Madrid games bc aaaaaaaaa Kaka. ♥
SERIOUSLY THOUGH I mean even if you don't watch the games/understand, these men are amazing. Kaka is a part of
a campaign to stop men from buying prostitutes, Forlan dedicates every goal to his paralyzed sister, I mean I can't even.
Clearly I could go on and on and on, but I doubt any of you want to read me gushing about how I'm so in love with everything about these men and this sport, how I can't even remember the last time I was this addicted/obsessed with anything.
So instead I think I will express everything I'm feeling through pictures. Caution, they might be too hot to handle.
[Some of] The Men;

This is my life right now and I don't know what to do about it. I'm so so glad club season exists aaaaaaaaaa and that
sugarlungs is there to scream with me bc I can tell already the world is judging.
In other news I got an A+ in my summer course, I'm meeting with one of my old best friends who moved away after 8th grade tomorrow, my plane to Michigan is on Thursday, and I haven't been this happy in a long time. ♥
But all good things come to an end. Good things like this entry.
And so, my dear friends, as I depart to go have a nervous breakdown over Uruguay v Nederlands, I leave you with these two parting thoughts.
