Hi, welcome to my journal *waves*
I don't post all that much; to be honest, I'm still warming up to the idea of opening up myself on the internet.
All of my fics are posted open for all to see; so you don't have to be friended to read what I write.
Only some of the stuff I post which relates to real life is friends-only.
I probably won't friend back everyone who friends me... I'm sorry, please don't take it personally... but if we've not chatted, I'm just not comfortable opening up my personal posts to you. Thanks for understanding.

Busy, but good.
Re-shuffling priorities: work, work, work, husband, watching footie, getting my butt outside and enjoying the gorgeous weather... then comes internet / LJ.
So no near end in sight for this on-going more-or-less hiatus.
BUT: I was on LJ today, and feel like all the cool kids are on there way somewhere, and I'm about to miss the bus... what's up with Dreamwidth? Looks like a lot of people are going over there --- is it instead of LJ? In addition to LJ? If I don't move soon, will I come back here in a couple of weeks and hear nothing but the echo of my typing in an empty room????
Thanks for the scoop!

But for a football fan, what an night. Thanks, Barca, for showing us some of the most beautiful football I've ever seen. Perfect passes, super crosses, absolute precision, complete dominance. Henri, Eto'o and Messi... wow. No other words come to mind.
And Camp Nou - I would have preferred to win here (or at least played well here...) but what a stadium, what an atmosphere.
Maybe I'll write more later if I can bring myself to.

So, I checked out some pics from this week's big shin-dig in Paris.
Here's a preview:

bouncySo... we got Sporting Lissabon.
At first glance, this looks waaaaay better than someone like Chelsea. Ooops, wait! I almost forgot Bayern's habit of failing to take "lesser" opponents seriously.
So should we be scared??
I plan to stay optomistic. After all - I just managed to buy tickets for the home-game / return leg game in Munich!!!

OK - here's a wierd one.
Does Coke Zero exist in the USA - or is it only over here in Europe?
If it's in the USA, is there a lot of hype around it? Did it have a huge market launch?
(need to know for a study I'm working on... and things like this are really hard to find out by googling!)
Thanks for your help!!! XD

For any of you out there who haven't already forgotten this fic... I've not forgotten it, either!
Here's the next chapter - and don't worry, Chapter 13 (the one after this one) is almost finished, too.
Hope you enjoy!

Am starting to feel a little guilty about that. Plus, I have a growing picture collection that I'd like to make some icons out of.
But here's my problem - when I take a pretty good hi-res picture and crop it, then import it directly as a .jpg into my icon list, it comes out like this one: blurry and just not very good.
I'd be hugely grateful if anyone had any tips on how to make nice icons out of pictures (even just getting a good image would be a start for me, I'm not looking to make animations or add text or get fancy!)
Thanks! *MWAH*

So why is this what I see when I look out my living room window?????? A sea of Turkish flags... red jerseys... and screams of Turkiye! Turkiye!
*sigh*
I'm not gonna get any sleep tonight.
(But Altintop... wow, a great game!!!)

This look:
Oh yeah. I love it. Right on. Bring it on. Makes me wanna see more.
But this look?:
What's up with the little-boy-playing cowboy thing?
*sigh*
Just when you were making a real fashion statement, Gianluigi, it all derailed.

Because I am totally hopeless when it comes to icons --- any one have any hints / links for me where I can get good National Team icons? I'm especially looking for the German national team (DUH!), Lahm being my absolute favourite. But I'd also like to be able to support some other teams, too... especially Spain, Czech Republic, Croatia and (cringes) France.
Thanks in advance for any links you can steer me towards!!!
*hugs you all*

So now I'm on my way to the airport (gee, I haven't been on a plane in almost 48 hours...) to fly to BERLIN! A good friend got us DFB Pokal tickets - look for us on TV; we are in the upper tribune, but pretty much directly behind where Angela Merkel will be sitting - and I'll bet they'll show her on TV!
Wish you were all at the game with me... I'm sure our fan section would scream and squee louder than the rest of the stadium combined!!
I'll be offline until Sunday night... will picspam on Monday.
