Stanley Cup Woes

[history_gurl]

So, it seems that the Senators lost last night. And they lost big ... 6-2. What the hell is that? Anyway, they went down, four games to one, and the damn Ducks get to keep Lord Stanley's Cup. This, in and of itself, is a sad, sad thing. But there is worse, people!

You see, in a fit of optimism (I really should have known better, the Sens have choked every year in the playoffs) I made a little wager with cmk418. Now, to be honest, the Leafs are more my team than the Sens. And the Blackhawks are her addiction, not the Ducks. But, well, these teams made it to the finals, and they happen to be within our respective geo-political areas (state for her, province for me), so we callowly switched our allegiances. Yes, we jumped on those Cup-covered bandwagons. I know, shallow of me. But really, did you expect any different? I embrace my shallowness, people!

Anyway, I may have taunted that I would be eating roast Duck by the end of this thing. And she may have suggested that the person who lives closest to the losing team should write a request fic for the person who lives closest to the winning team. And I may have agreed. Oh, when will I ever learn not to wager?

So, hon ... hit me with your request. I may have to sit in a trailer for nine hours on Saturday. That should produce fic, no?

And if anyone else wants a specific fic/pairing/chance to berate me for not finishing the fic I already owe you, this would be the time to speak up.

Hah! That's what you get for rooting for the Senators. Really, once we got to the Stanley Cup with the Sens and the Ducks, what was the point?

Yeah, but, it's, it's HOCKEY! I feel compelled to root for someone. Damn Canadian DNA.

I really didn't expect the Senators to attempt to imitate the Blackhawks like they seemed to do last night. 11 shots on goal. I deal with that 40-something games a year, it seems. I didn't even get to see much of the game since it was on at 5PM here (and they wonder why it won't get good ratings - NO ONE WAS HOME YET!) You know my tastes - either a nice McManus or something with Billy Costigan or if you really want a challenge Ryan O'Reily/Jia Kenmin (hee!)

I wrote a little something for you. I hope it isn't too bad and I hope it brightens the whole situation up a bit.

*sigh* They had to choke sooner or later. I'm just pleasantly shocked it was later. Although, when you come right down to it, that is more painful.

So, I'm going to sit in a job site trailer for eight or ten hours tomorrow. With no internet! I'll be bringing my Departed DVD, and my Firefly DVDs, and Serenity, and a book, and ...

So, I'm thinking it'll be Costigan. :)

And I'm pretending I didn't see that Ryan O'Reily/Jia Kenmin thing. You are twisted, I tell ya, twisted.

::Sigh:: I think a lot of people tend to ignore the chemistry between the two of them. Which is probably why my Magi fic went in the second round this year (because that was Wish #1). And the way it turned out, I'm sorta glad it wasn't chosen. I may just pick up the reins of it myself. (Unless the Blue Jays and the Cardinals meet in the World Series *g*)

Costigan is good. I haven't read any Departed fic in a while. (Mainly because I haven't seen any Departed fic in a while.)

Well, you know that I don't really watch too much hockey... unless the 'Canes make it to the finals, so this Stanley Cup was just something that was airing on NBC to me. However, I am so sorry for your loss.

Anyway, you still owe me some porn... and I want it NOW!!!!! (Damn, when did Veruca Salt take over my mind?)

*whistles innocently* Porn? What porn? *vbg*

I shall endeavour to write smut for you while I sit and fritter away my time aimlessly tomorrow.

And sign in, dammit! Good thing the 'Canes thing gave you away. :)

Well, damn. I don't post here enough to realize that LJ doesn't always remember me when I come back. I shall endeavor to note my log in status next time.
