Just a few bits and snips:

*Lovely, lovely Lauren made me icons of Tommy Bowe. This makes me very happy. What doesn't make me happy is going squee! over rugby players yet knowing fuck-all about rugby. Going to have to try and learn then, aren't I?

*Also, celebrating Ireland rugby team's grand slam win made made even more confused as to my identity (yes, this is carrying over, sorry). I STILL don't know where I'm from. Ireland in this case may mean the whole place - some of those lads are from Ulster, the place, not the team - but, still. Likewise with an Ireland shirt, say. Am I likely to get the everlasting shit kicked out of me for wearing one? I DON'T KNOW.

*I hate that Northern Ireland still has these problems. Where can you and where can you not wear a shirt? What a bullshit problem to have.

*ANYWAY

*HOCKEY. SHAAAARKS. \o/ Still winning, though apparently making a meal of it. Though as tersa put it, better they're having difficulty than it being too easy, like last year. ~shudders~ But we don't want to think about thaaaat...

*NHL PLAYOFFS START A WEEK TODAY AAAAAIEEEEEE!!! Best time of the year. There will be a big long post about this in the near future, but for now, first of all: oh my god hurry up Sunday, so that all these standings can be finalised, we know who's in or out, we know who's playing who, and there are no more goddamn what-ifs...

*I have purchased an Edinburgh Capitals jersey. This would seal my transfer from being a Giants fan to being a Caps fan. As the Caps aren't managed by a pillock, don't lie, don't break the rules, don't piss off EVERYONE ELSE IN THE LEAGUE EVER, and are a genuinely likeable bunch, even if they don't win things. It's not about the winning, It was never about winning for me - but lie and cheat and lord it over others, and I will refuse to be a fan. I won't see the Caps often, but I'll be a lot happier cheering an honest team from afar than cheering the ones on my doorstep while knowing they couldn't give a flying fuck about, oh you know, ACTUAL SPORTSMANSHIP.

*It has been raining for five days. It is not showing any signs of stopping. This is getting on my wick.

*On that note, I used to think I was a negative person. Then I came back to work and realised that, in comparison, I have a positively sunny disposition! Good lord…

*I am off for a week after today, because of Easter and phased return to work programme and such. I shall use this time to watch even more comedy than before. And hockey too! <3

*I ADORE Howling Bells. New album = lovely lovely lovely lovely lovely.
