TWO GREAT TASTES THAT GO GREAT TOGETHER!

[arthoniel]

So I was having a thoroughly crappy night tonight.

-My roommate had her friends over, so they kind of took over. Again. (Not that I mind that much- they're nice and all- and if it were just that, I wouldn't have a problem... but I can't study when they're here. And this is the second night in a row it's happened.)

-My computer started acting a little... odd today, when I tried to close it and open it up again a little later. Not, like, really strangely, but enough to be annoying.

-THE YANKEE GAME TODAY. Holy fuck shit, it made me want to stab a baby. We had a lead, we were going to be fine, and then our bullpen just couldn't do shit. It was awful- even worse than last night. I actually wanted to kill something.
(By the way, non-Yankee fans? If you want to gloat or whatever, do so on your own journal. I don't want to hear it here. Like, I'm actually really pissed about this. We have the highest paid roster in baseball. This shouldn't happen to us. And I'm pissed about it.)

-The Yankee haters are really starting to get on my nerves. If you root for a team that has a genuine rivalry with the Yankees, that's one thing. Like, if you're a legit Red Sox fan, it would be hard to miss. A Mets fan... the Yankee fans can afford to be gracious since we usually win. Mets fans don't have that luxury, and I get it. But hating the Yankees just because they're the Yankees? That's really starting to fucking piss me off. Hating a team because they win does not make you "edgy". It doesn't mean that you're "different", "unique", or "anti-conformist". It just makes you a douche, and it makes you really fucking annoying. No matter how badly they may have lost tonight or last night, the Yankees don't suck. In fact, unless your team is the Rangers, the Yankees beat your team. So just... stop bitching. Seriously. It's really fucking annoying when you hate a team for no reason whatsoever.

BUT.

I was clearly having a crappy night... but then I saw this, and all of that just went away.

Am I still annoyed at Yankee haters? Oh, yes. Do I still want to stab something after that shoddily played game today? You bet. But do I really care anymore right now due to happy from this? NO, NOT AT ALL. :D

How Maya is so big-sisterly towards Luke.

GOD I WANT THIS SO BADLY LIKE I DON'T EVEN.

...Just felt like you all ought to know that. :D

I was so distracted by it earlier and ran around spazzing. 8D I felt like I was 15 again. XDD

Oh, and I'm happy that PL x PW was able to make you feel better~ ♥ Hope your roommate cuts it out soon! Remember, talk to her if it gets out of hand! C:

Haha, yeah, exactly!! It's just awesome.

And it's alright. It's not out of hand or anything- it was just the one night, and she's more than free to have her friends over. They're her rooms too and all. I just couldn't study that well then... but it's not a major problem. It was just... there.

I don't know if I was more excited about the trailer in high wuality, or at the fact that I actually understood some of what they were saying XD XD XD

(my Japanese is so crappy, I'll take every little victory I can get T__________T)

Also, I'm sorry about your crappy night :(

[arthoniel.livejournal.com]

Y-You did?? Oh man, I'm so envious. Japanese is one of those languages that I would love to know, but... how awful I am at foreign languages combined with how difficult a language Japanese is would make that so much more work than is practical for me. But yes. That's awesome. XD

And it's alright. We all have nights like that- the important thing is that they pass and we move on~

pfffft
I studied it for three and a half years, and I already forgot most of what I knew. It's SO SAD.
At least I've got French to make me feel better about myself...

[arthoniel.livejournal.com]

Oh, man. I'm just so jealous overall of your skill with languages. I've only ever studied two languages in my life- Spanish and Latin- and I couldn't actually get by in either. I might be able to deal for a little bit in Spanish, but I just have problems remembering vocabulary...

BUT ANYWAY. That you could do that is so ridiculously awesome, and I'm jealous. XD

Hating a team because they win also makes you a douche. So does liking a team because they win. Bandwagon jumpers, in general, suck and should go DIAF somewhere.

"In fact, unless your team is the Rangers, the Yankees beat your team."

And, technically, every team in the NL, because the Yankees have little (if any) bearing on them. Even if the Yankees were to win the World Series, that doesn't necessarily mean they're better than the ENTIRE NL. *technicalities go here*

All that said, and coming from a strictly baseball-fan point-of-view (especially because I didn't see the game last night and I have no idea what the final was), I get your disappointment, but just because you bought all the awesome players doesn't mean anything. Sometimes it really is about something else, and sometimes fate just doesn't go your way. *shrug*

Fff, I believe you. I should have a baseball icon too... huh. Why DON'T I have a baseball icon?? :/

[arthoniel.livejournal.com]

Yep, pretty much. I just... there were a ton of people on Facebook, most of whom grew up in the Bronx and just got sick of the Yankee fans (which is understandable), who were bitching out the Yankees and avidly rooting for the Rangers and talking about how awesome the Rangers' players are and how they're gonna beat New York so easily and everything and... you know, if you had asked most of them where the Rangers are from two months ago? They wouldn't have been able to tell you. I joke around about it, but in seriousness, if you don't like the Yankees, I'm cool with that. But when they're really, seriously, cheering for, say, Hamilton, just because he got a home run against the Yankees and for no other reason? That annoys the fuck out of me. Bandwagon jumpers really do need to just go die in a hole somewhere. DX

...I meant you in the general sense up there. Not, like, you. Just so you (specific) know. XD

...This is true. The Yankees don't have much of a bearing on the NL. If they were to go on to win the World Series, they kinda beat the entire NL, because they beat the team that beat the rest of the NL, but... I take your point, and I stand corrected~

And we went over this on Facebook, but... I'm just frustrated that my team is putting so much money into their players, and they didn't do as well as I'd hoped. But I also still acknowledge that it was a hotheaded comment at a point of anger, with several things building up on each other.
