i have been a fan of italy for 6 years (yes, 6 years. since sec 3 to be exact. i was there for euro 2000, world cup 2002, euro 2004 - am here for world cup 2006. including the matches in between. friendlies. qualifiers. sometimes olympics but it's never the same team being played on national level. i'm ready for euro 2008. planning to catch them live in world cup 2010).
i've been justifying my reason for being a supporter since day one. you can't really blame me for being very defensive when talking about them. i ain't no ant. i remained when they lost. i will rejoice when they win this coming monday morning. hah. in all honesty, whatever the outcome of the finals, i am still their fan. yes, i do ogle at the italian boys. tell me WHO DON'T?! liars. even if you're a freaking [insert other teams] fan, you'll still footballer(s)-watching. if you don't; you're either a guy/blind/don't dig italian dudes.
WHY is it a crime to drool at hot italian guys and be a supporter of italy?! WHY? i've been through this soo many countless times IT'S NOT EVEN FUNNY DAMMIT! especially with italy being in the finals. now it's, "aiya. you support italy cause they in the finals right?"
I WAS THERE WHEN ITALY FREAKIN LOST TO SOUTH KOREA!!! i am still behind them. will always will. even if the whole team is made up of fugly italian guys,
I'M STILL A FAN!i hate it that half of everyone is rooting for italy. it just makes me smaller than i already am.
p/s i may seem overdramatic here but i truly treat this seriously. it's lame but so what. forza azzurri.
man, i digress too much. what i really i wanted to say was, i've never been
this proud.
this
recipe for italy's success:
wearing
my italy flag earrings
patrizio 'the italian' buanne on constant replay
my 'note' to the team, in italian
mum's blessing
FABIO GROSSO - i think he's their lucky charm
reasons why i enjoy wimbledon: (and yes, i try my best to look out for updates)
unseeded players fighting the odds
oh ya, the random wildcards
watching my faves get kicked on their asses - it wasn't funny at first but now, i'm so used to it
the commentary
green grass and white lines
i was watching sounds of the sixties and the kinks was on.
i'm not a fan or what but it was freaky how i was googling for their pictures and i came to this one and when i look up, the tv was showing the exact same shot! i'm not kidding.
you know what, I LOVE ABSOLUTELY FABULOUS! it's SO my fave show. i've decided. if you ask me to list ONE show as my fave show, it'll be ABSOLUTELY FABULOUS. i adore joanne lumley. i remembered seeing her for the first time and wondered to myself, "my.. what big teeth she have!"
ooh.. you know what make great gifts (for ME)? ABSOLUTELY FABULOUS complete seasons y'all!!! from season 1 to god knows what season they are at right now! wee!!!
rockstar supernova kicks ass. the contestants this year are soo good i can't decide which one i'm going to dig. there's a couple actually. and the girls, WHOA! some of em have voices that rocked harder than the guys. man, all my fave shows are coming back. woot woot. i can't wait for the contender. never knew boxing was in me.
