go chingy! go stevie!

[astonish]

i'm so fucking pleased. all these people on big soccer are saying horrible, horrible things about brian but honestly, i couldn't care less. i was honestly 100% sure ching would get the shaft, all i've been hearing for the past week is taylor twellman this, taylor twellman that. but dear god, i think that only made seeing chingy's name on the list

carmen was BRILLIANT. the people at the wortham center upgraded our seats for free so we got to sit in the box sections. and the music was just amazing. the singing was gorgeous. it was all beautiful. i wish you could've been there.

hawaiian superman! hee. :) i love that nickname. i'm really happy for him.

aw. i want to be able to pick out voices! and i didn't get to watch the aston villa match. (i really need dvr so badly.) we need to meet up and watch these matches together so you can point out things to me.:)

final in two days? well, good luck. and god. i just realized my ap us history exam is in three days. :P this'll be interesting. and did you ever see the stevie and xabi interview where stevie slipped and almost fell? it was cute.

and i have to ask: did you like the opera music that i sent you?

[astonish]

i haven't, but i'm going to today. it's just i downloaded them on my desktop and then we moved that the morning after before i could get winamp to look and it's only just finally all hooked up. yes, i've been having some computer troubles. so i'm going to try and send them to my laptop this afternoon!

wow, that's awesome. i'm really glad you had a good time. :) i love going and seeing live shows downtown, i haven't seen a play in so long it should be a crime. i bet i'll probably like opera, i mean i love musicals which are just a kind of ... cheesier version of that, right? ha.

i am overjoyed for him. i just couldn't convince myself that i didn't want him to go, i couldn't. isn't it every footballer's dream to go to the world cup? i just wanted him to get the chance because who knows where he'll be when it rolls around again. it's okay if we'll miss him for a few matches (though i do hope he'll be home for the july 4 match, i was excited for that one). plus, just think about it, i bet having a world cup player on our team will do

twellman looks like a smurf and he scares me

[astonish]

i don't really have any feelings towards twellman, i just love ching more than life itself so of course i was going to root for him. i don't know if it was the best choice for our team or not, but i trust bruce arena to know what he's doing. he seems competent enough.

Back when Stevie was petulant and Rafa didin't like him, he'd tell Xabi all the instructions and Xabi would be the one to tell everyone what to do. Rafa likes him now though, so he tells Stevie stuff now (I may have made them sound like catty teenage girls but you get the point.).

If someone starts yelling like an enraged moose, it's Carra. :D

[astonish]

everything about this comment made me die a little inside. well stevie used to be a catty teenage girl, didn't he? i love to hear you and the other long-time liverpool fans talk about the team. you just know all sorts of little things i don't. :*

THAT IS EXACTLY WHAT HE SOUNDS LIKE. i was watching the game and they showed carra up close, and then there was just this alarming scream and carra's mouth was moving, and yeah. i know i'd hustle a bit faster if he was screaming out my name like that.

I don't know if you've added her, but uberwald is the Queen of Stevie-isms. :D She hardly updates now, but its quite fun to read her thoughts on Stevie of G. :D

Of the top of my head, here are some tidbits that I have heared/remember (some may be the figment of overactive imagination):

1. During one of Stevie's clueless moments (I know there's a lot), in that time he lost form after the WC and we lost to Basle in the group stages of the CL, GH said that Stevie was getting distracted by off the field stuff and maybe believing some of his own hype. What does Le Boss do? Force Stevie to move into the penthouse next to his for awhile to monitor him.
2. Back when they were in the Academy, Stevie and Mikey were the same size and Carra didn't like him cos he was bigger and so much cooler. He was mates with Robbie, Macca et all. Have you heared of the Carra and Strippers story

[astonish]

OH MY GOD, I LOVE YOU. i seriously need to bookmark this or something. i am beyond dead.

and, um, wot? carra and strippers?

i really wish i'd gotten to see the steviedannymikeycarra era. it sounds so good and oh gosh, tiny!stevie. i love it. i would, however, be very frightened if carra screamed at me. that is not a sound i ever want directed at me. no way.
