Things My Mother Says That Completely Throw Me:

[clo_again]

Me: Haha, Maria Sharapova is in Djokovic's box.
Mother: Who?
Me: You know. Blond. Sparkly. Won Wimbledon a while back.
Mother: Oh, the lesbian.
Me: ...
Me: ...
Me: What?
Mother: Isn't she the lesbian?
Me: In which universe have you been watching tennis?!

This is where someone points out to me that Sharapova came out last week and my mother knows more about tennis than me (hahaha. ...No, really. Don't ruin my life like that). I was mainly laughing at Sharapova being in Djokovic's box because we'll get to write an article next April Fools titled "RODDICK/DJOKOVIC FIGHT DUEL FOR SHARAPOVA'S HAND". In y'know, marriage or the girlfriendy sense, not the we-would-like-to-keep-your-hand-in-a-jar-yes-Captain-Jack-I-am-looking-at-you sense.


Hello the web. Am not dead; it's just been the two days out of the month where I'm allowed to indulge my female right to just sleep, eat and bitch. Have decided chocolate is better than painkillers. Think I might enlist rainy_roz as resident scientist of our group of twenty-somethings to do the necessary research and market chocolate painkillers with me. Billions of pounds in waiting right there.

Also, my mother finally agreed to let me buy rats. Score! Only I can't find a suitable cage. Unscore. All my dole lazy asshole money this week is going on an external hard drive anyway. The search for a rat cage of no-more-than-75cm-in-length will continue.

In conclusion: go read kindoftrouble's latest Andy/Roger fic. Because it's very, very pretty and you should. There is not enough tennis fic this good out there.

Bed. Tomorrow, sign on, buy phone credit (why I've pretty much not replied to texts for weeks), sit in the library to write while waiting for lift home, LJ comments. And then maybe Run, Fatboy, Run depending on what the Hollywellians are doing. So. Around to play catch-up sometime tomorrow.

I want my Roger icons back. Have none. Am bad tennis fan. Woe.

He is tennis' Darth Vader! They even played the Imperial March again when he won and I couldn't stop laughing.

My mum thinks tennis is bizarre, mainly because I keep explaining our silly conspiracy theories about Mirka only being Roger's pretend girlfriend and him having made a pact with the devil to be so good. I don't think she really knows whether to take me seriously or not. ^_^

HAHAHAHALMAO. We have to do that for April Fools Day. I would die.

There is lots of tennis fic that awesome out there. Most of it yours. :P

We really do. My first reaction when I saw her was "HAH HAH ANDY/MARIA PEOPLE." ^_^ And the other April Fools worked so well (I just went back to check out the reactions and that entire day was hilarious) we should really do something else.

*curls up in embarrassment* But it's really not; there's loads of stuff out there better than me. You're better than me for a start and some of my old stuff is terrible. I'd be better if I actually did rewrites or got betas.

*giggles* Andy/Maria is so over. Andy/Djokovic is the new hot tennis couple. That April Fools was just so totally awesome. And it was so well written and I have to say, well put together. ;) His site eis much harder to copy now though.

You are better than me. If you asked most tennis slashers who was the best writer, they would say you. Plus, you write epics like Halcyon which is awesome. Some of my old stuff is terrible too but that's how everyone starts. :P

No, no, it was just my mother have an attack of the crazies. As far as I know, Sharapova's apparently got a thing for Novak Djokovic. :)

(*blushes* Thank you. :) )
