Mmmmm, I am liking 3 Doors Down you know. I love my illegal student network. :)
Roger tore me into tiny pieces with his not-speech this morning. I was curled so tight on the chair, hugging my knees because I had to hug something, that -- when I finally had to get up and walk away from the TV before he started me crying -- it was actually difficult to move. How could the people standing on that court resist the urge to hug him? I was practically hugging the *TV*. My commentators must have hearts of stone because they could still calmly comment on it but apparently he had the Italian commentators in tears. Oh Roger. Never be anyone other than you.
Baghdatis's done it. I saw his goofy grin when he was giving his speech and he was cracking jokes and just so *likeable* and I can't hate him. Not even a little bit, not even for beating Andy. My Cypriot flatmate came to see me earlier, having watched the Cypriot news, and said the Cyprus government are going to give him something like £150,000 because he had no support as a junior and the place where he trained in France only loaned him the money for his tuition on the condition he paid it back when -- if -- he became a good enough player. It's unbelievably sweet how Cyprus seems to have turned out en-masse to support him and I hope we see more of him. Not that there's much doubt about that; he played so *well* in those first couple of sets.
And, in my most shocking news of today, I learned just how easy it is to spill a cup of coffee when a former-and-soon-to-be-again-flatmate you thought was on the other side of the world rings the doorbell and says "Surprise!" when you open the door. (Very easy. Thankfully our carpet seems some miraculous shade of blue that doesn't show coffee stains.) I may have to wreak some Grate and Terrible Revenge on
wolves8 for *knowing* and not *telling* me but mainly I'm with the squee right now and revenge can wait till later. Best. Moment. Ever. And she's here for two weeks! And she was in the bloody country when I was talking to her on MSN a week ago and really, there has to be revenge for this some time. Once the squee wears off.
Which may take a while. Hee. Awesomeness.
Oh wow do I need food. Bagels really don't go all that far.
edit: Also? Today has been the bizarrest mix of squee mixed with repeatedly hitting my head on my desk. Crikey. I couldn't have gone more up and down if I'd been a sodding yo-yo. Like now.
*headdesk*
edit: On reflection, I think I need to add a *sigh* to that.
edit: And an "I'm going away again now". Just when you think it's safeto go back in the water to go back to LJ... IT ISN'T. *hums the Jaws theme tune* ;)
Can we not just agree not to talk about this anymore? Please? I like LJ. I've had such a good day, what should've been the best day of the year. Can we please just agree that we all disagree -- for example I don't like Nalbandian, other people do, this is a fact and I've accepted it. So what? All I have to do is not read posts and fic about him and it's okay, instant happiness -- and let the waters settle? Please?
I'm going away for food and to at least *start* my creative writing for tomorrow. Will it be safe to come back to LJ after that? Hell, if the repression way isn't going to work, fine everyone have a rant. Get it out, scream at each other, throw some vases -- at me too, if I've pissed anyone off today -- just do SOMETHING so we can wake up to a shiny new day tomorrow and be over it.
My fingers are twitching to type "HIT ME WITH THOSE VASES, YO." And they did. I don't believe it.
