Football, RL, and saving baby birds
Jul. 10th, 2010 12:38 pmOkay, so first: I am still fucked off with Uruguay. They CHEATED, they fucking CHEATED, and they got away with it! More than that, because of it they went to the semi-final instead of Ghana. My dad specialises in Ghanaian history and taught there for years, I’ve been there, we have lots of Ghanaian friends. I really wanted them to be the ones to make history: to be the first African team to make the World Cup semi-finals.
Which may well still happen. (Or it might be Nigeria, my father’s birthplace.) But this would’ve been such a perfect year for it. The South African World Cup, instead, was another tournament without Africans reaching the semi-finals. :( When I’m rich and famous I’m going to sponsor Ghana, because they are an awesome team with no funds. (Also my dad will be happy. He’s ever so pleased at the shock Spain win, it’s really funny. He’s on the phone right now to a German colleague basically going ner-ner-ner-ner. And of course Andre is going SOD OFF, 4-1!)
( Cut for saving baby birds and RL )
Other things are making me happy; the drabble meme is one of them, even if I am having lolarious fail at the whole ‘drabble’ concept. Also, rereading my amazing Crucio ficlet by![[profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
drippingcherry. Seriously, you guys, check it out; it is the hottest thing ever. It’s an AU drabble where Barty Jr survived, and it’s in his super-twisted voice. He knows Draco’s got a crush on him, and he’s full of this combined pity and contempt for Draco’s innocence and his ignorance of real evil. He’s gonna FUCK DRACO UP and it’s really hot.
PLUS SHE IS WRITING A SORTA SEQUEL AND I SHALL BETA AND *SQUEE*.
