Hello, majority of my friends list, I greet you and potentially scare you away with this post and the possible preponderance of football-related entries in the future. But wait. Before you go, I introduce you to Stephen Finnan and Daniel Agger (collectively known as

aksfsahglbvnlno ♥ you're amazing. And please! Badfic? If you'd classify this gem as badfic, I'd be obligated to shove all my stuff at the very top of that pile ♥ that meme was a mistake. i cry. and i'll admit that i enjoyed every minute of answering it. You win, because a) you wrote Agger/Finnan b) you wrote AU (something I've tried and failed to do countless times) c) you did it all so beautifully.

...I can go on and on about what I write, and I can write about your art, and you can draw what I write, and it can be endless. It can be like the nebulae of stars on your cheek, or the ink that penetrates the layers of skin you have that makes it so infinite. And, I. I can punctuate.

= soul-clinching, snkagnap;ngpoa love that has attached to my heart like a grappling hook, a cancer I wouldn't mind coexisting with. Just. ♥

Agger/Finnan, because of Liverpool. The Dan/Finns relationship is familiar to me (but still has its unexplored territories). I think i wanted to understand them more as a pairing, why it exists in fandom.

Isn't it odd? Non-AU is tricky for me, like writing with candle wax. And, i've never felt as anxious or awkward as this (first fic is like, the reckoning.)

But your comment! (I will remember it as the first.) ♥, and more. :)

(no classes again tomorrow, all levels, so yay for us.)

I'm all for the Fagger: reading it, loving it, bowing down to whoever manages to pin them down exactly right-- I'm fine with all that. It's writing it that I am incapable of and I regret that. And you don't have anything to worry or be anxious about! Not when you write this beautifully ♥ :D But I sort of feel the same way, every time I post something. There's this awkwardness and self-consciousness that I can't escape (maybe it's the lifelong catholicism that's been beating into my head, idk)

T__T I'm mourning the absence of the education that I paid an exorbitant amount of money for. Really DDDD: I was looking forward to school (given the context of the looming exam date, I'm starting, albeit very minimally, to panic) But at the moment? My father has called a family-wide mah jong tournament... lolzz family is weird.

I've made several attempts writing S/X, but still, everything ends like i've burnt something in the oven. I feel like i owe something to my otp, so i'm still struggling.

My attendance in high school was almost perfect, but in college i think i'm not learning anything the least bit substantial (unfortunately, they're more strict w/absences). Okay, i sound like an ungrateful brat, but seriously, it's more than the idea of academic slavery and the like. (Though it counts.) Is vague, but yeah.

Weird, but i learned mahjong at a friend's birthday party. WHUT. :))

(maybe self-consciousness is good + i personally think you can write anything! haha.)

Um um I don't really know them, but OMG STEF YOU WRITE SO BEAUTIFULLY!!!! I was reading it while alternately looking like :O and *______*!!!!!

Abi = Stef's fangirl

[verbigerette]

ABI!!! Aw, i can't believe you read this (or at least one word of it. And i am glad ♥♥♥. I was thinking, gah, there is no way my flist would tolerate this, you can delete me now.)

I wanted to share the love (football. yes, i know, i was never a sports person).

I miss fangirling you in person, Abi! :>

[operatingroom]

:D :D :D :D :D :D

This was so prettyyyy. And them too - they're really pretty. I loved reading this. I hope you write more. :3

unabridgedsalon is a community for original fiction, if you were interested. I really like your style. :)

[verbigerette]

i'll look into that community. looks like a fairly interesting place :)

I read this entry too late >___> why oh why?! But still...!

He remembers the girl with the hair made of black henna and thinks; I threw away all that I’ve written. How would I dispose of them if I’ve had tattooed on her name and her velvet face? How would I have her erased?

*GASP* *Feels extremely giddy*

I LOVE <3 SO MUCH~!But no matter; I'm very distracted your writing which is WAH *gags* BEAUTIFUL~ PLEASE WRITE MORE~! I'm looking forward to more *pokes madly* And yes, this somehow "pokes" me to watch Football (hmm, tama lang since it's back as you said).

House visits again so we can watch those overdue movies. How was Paris Je T'aime? :D Oh, go Stef~! I'm in awe sobra *__*

“Been writing since I was born.”

“I’ve been drawing since I was born.”

“Well, writing is a form of art.”

“And drawing is a form of writing. Putting pen on paper. Or skin, for that matter. Making a mark.”

“So it works both ways, huh?”

“Yeah.”

<3

lots of love. i shall visit you one day :P

[verbigerette]

aw, you can't be too late for this, riza. yes go watch footie. seriously, the sport itself is, gahsdakja;ktha;mr;aabsahfa. love. love. and more. and i find it sad that there are others who just watch it for the pretty and the slashing. :(

paris je t'aime was tres spectaculeur, magnifique, etc! leulz. i want to watch it again. and again. i wish for a dvd copy.

you could visit me some time, or, better yet, we go to the bookstore-slash-heaven (monday, if you will?) and we could have a cup of coffee over stalker-y discussions of a multiply account containing pictures of wids.

i have a question for you to answer when we meet:
"does von aschenbach desire tadzio or is he fascinated by what he represents: perfect beauty?"

OH THE ANTICIPATION. 5 FLOORS OF PURE GOODNESS.

[hoppipolla]

JAKSDjklsjd is about all I'm capable of. Fell asleep, woke up, and read this fic. You are wonderful.

I really have nothing to describe how wonderful this is. The differences yet the similarities.

Oh my OTP.

[verbigerette]

thank you so much!♥
