The Fan’s Attic: Champions League LiveBlog Liverpool - Barcelona 2nd Half
October 16th, 2008 by adminArray i was told last night that i am the kind of girl i always wanted to be but thought i was unable to be: unknowingly beautiful, smart, witty, sweet, and can sing well.96. my music interests range between mindless self indulgence [a techno-screamo-rock band that i can't really explain, but that makes really great angry music. i once played tag in the rain at night in my underwear with two girl friends. however, my bff is a gay guy, who came out to his parents on accident, when they found the note he had written me almost a year before that telling me he was, because he wasn't sure if he would be able to say it.81. my best friend in highschool had the same name as me. i taught the best friend with the same name how to kiss on the a band bus trip.78. however, one of my other best friends, a 92 pound punk girl with black and red hair and a dress she had to climb into, and ears gaged to a size 0 got it with her boyfriend, who also had red and black hair, and dresses like a vagabond. and im glad. i mean, not that i wouldnt want to have my moms features, its just that, what with daddy living so far away, its nice to have his hair and eyes with me all the time, you know?73. im very awkard when i first meet someone.67. not because im gay, but because my friends are.63. im finally okay with that. im starting to think there arent 100 [un]interesting facts about me.58. im a packrat56. im obsessed with food, books, and magic.55. im too poor to be a wiccan.54. but im not sure about anything, and nothing seems to click with me. im not very opinionated.52. im in college on a full ride scholarship.51. the first time my dad actually said he was proud of me was in the senior pages in our year book. im shy. im terrible at off-the-cuff speaking, and new people make me nervous. im better since i got to college, and once i know you fairly well, ill tell you anything, but until then, im pretty sure i come off as a real wierdo at first. i hung it on my door, and i have actually had one of my friends ask one of my other friends if i am a lesbian. now granted, sometimes i do that, but its MY COFFEE POT, so im allowed to. last night, i was over in a friends dorm, watching movies and looking at pictures, when her boyfriend called me. ill let him in, im on the way back she said. i went back to my friends room, and when i went back to my room, plus two girls, one of the girls looked at me, and said i think your roommate and her boyfriend made up and we could here them Doing It. senior year, i made money selling duck tape purses, wallets, and checkbooks. when the last one died, my mom thought i was being overdramatic, and didn’t believe he was dying. i think we’re friends though. i mean, i made him a big lacy valentine, and he liked it. i thought of it the other night while i was falling asleep, but by morning i had forgotten it.9. i don’t think pap smears are as bad as they are made out to be.

I wasn’t optimistic heading into this game, but I thought the Eagles had a chance after closing the lead to 4 at halftime. Anyway…stuff I scribbled into my old Greek 101 notebook from school:15:44 in the 1st half:I got home a little late and as I turn on the tube to the game, the dreaded Mike Patrick is yammering away. Deron Washington!10:00BC is in the game despite cold shooting, down 18-16.8:30BC desperately needs a bucket…7:15…still could use a bucket any time now…5:45…this game is officially slipping away.5:36Marquez Haynes! Meanwhile, Al gets Oates back in the game to close out the half. This is one of those games where BC just doesn’t look like they belong on an ACC court. But hey, our guys get to go back to Boston after the game while the Tech players live in Blacksburg. Not much more I can take.9:50Washington throws down his biggest dunk in the game sending Patrick into a tizzy. Patrick follows that up with an utterly tasteless metaphor, comparing Washington to a ‘big storm’ as he flies down the lane.ESPN cuts to its 3rd shot of a Miami Heat player walking through the tunnel to their locker room. The Network is desperate to have this BC game over.

This will definitely help his confidence, maybe even make him a threat in the EPL.45:00 - It looks like Bellamy will be getting credit for the goal.47:00 - Gerrard with a free kick on goal. THe squaad seems to be just going through the paces right now.55:00 - Barca subs Motta on for Iniesta.57:00 - As mentioned in the comments earlier, Carragher is an absolute beast for Liverpool. But, Barbaro skies it over without any danger.64:00 - Messi has been proclaimed as the next Mardona but I have a feeling he might become the next Kerry Wood given his proclivity to injury.68:00 - That was a stupid mistake by Valdez picking up the back pass. This will be an all-out assault on Liverpool’s defense.86:00 - Dangerous series of free kick and corner but Liverpool comes out unscathed.87:00 - Deco nearly levels it with a free kick off the far post.
