First sorry about all the spamming. I've just been writing a lot and want to get it posted before I lose my nerve :)

Why this weekend was both an epic win and an epic fail:

Fail:
1. Got up at 4:30 to watch Liverpool lose to the worst team in the league.
2. So shocked and depressed I couldn't fall back asleep afterwards.
3. Liverpool is now 8th in the EPL.
4. My abs hurt.

Win:
1. My friend's birthday.
2. Watched She's the Man and it's horrible soccer inaccuracies make me laugh. Oh and I never noticed there are Lamps, Dogbreath, and Robben posters on Duke's side of the room. Hah. Stupid Chavs.
3. SAW AVATAR. This movie is one of the best movies made. I thought all the hype would lead to disappointment upon seeing the movie. Nope, it's better than that. I also thought it would be one of those movies only good for technical effects. Nope. The entire experience is amazing. The plot, characters, setting, everything is fantastic. I was completely engrossed in the plot and cried on two separate occasions. The movie just overwhelms your senses and you can't help but love it. I recommend everybody spend the extra money and see it at least once in 3D. Defo worth the $10 I paid. I don't know how you can watch it on a small screen. My mission is now to see it in 3D IMAX.
4. Worked out both Saturday and Sunday for the first time in two weeks since I've been crazy busy.
5. Written 5 fics and have 2 more floating in my brain. This football100 thing has really brought my muse back!

"socrates scores, got a beautiful cross from archimedes. the germans are disputing it. hegel is arguing that the reality is merely an a priori adjunct of non-naturalistic ethics, kant via the categorical imperative is holding that ontologically it exists only in the imagination, and marx is claiming it was offside."

notes: i'm posting this because estuve likes it HAHAHA. so it's dedicated to you, xabiboobooboobear! okay so here's the thing. i've never written anything like this before! it's like. pretty dense. and philosophical. yeah. so like. i'm worried a bunch of philosophy majors are gonna read this and be like, "what the bloody fuck," so i apologise in advance. but really, it's just supposed to be fluff. really dense, relatively serious fluff. HAHAHA. this is majorly influenced from my current philosophy class and helped by the encyclopedia of philosophy.

( such love transcends. )

Not gonna talk about the stupid match.

But when I saw Xabi I wanted to cry. Maybe I did cry. I don't know. I love him but I wanted him to go away. He left, he has no right to come back and make us hurt. It's too depressing. Too much. I need a clean break.

Will be posting a post-match fic later.

Stop it Xabi, just go back to Madrid. You left us behind. At least leave us alone now.
