Was Livejournal hacked or something? How come the main page was an icon for a while? Very weird.
So I did that hockey meme, now it's only right to do a baseball meme:

What is your favorite MLB team?
Diamondbacks. (then the Cards and White Sox of course)

What team do you hate the most?
Dodgers. Cubs. My hatred is pretty even, although with the Cubs it lies completely with their annoying ass fans.

Whose uniforms do you like?
Phillies all the way. Why do you think I got a Phillies jersey?! (I have a thing for pinstripes)
And of course, the best uniforms in baseball:

The Sox all black, with their pinstripe jerseys coming in at a close second.

Who's your overall favorite player?
Stephen fucking Drew. What? How can I answer this any other way?

Second favorite player?
Justin Upton. Loved him since his very first at-bat, and I have stuck by him.

Third favorite player?
Mark Reynolds has won me over, but I feel like I should actually choose somebody good here, like Albert Pujols or something. o.O

What player do you hate the most?
Oh on my own team anybody in the bullpen who fucks up, lately it's been Juan Gutierrez. Casey Blake bothers me a lot, don't ask me why. Nomar Garciappara pisses me off a lot too, for some reason. I'm sure there's a player I actually really hate but I can't think of who it is at the moment... Oh I know! Roger fucking Clemens. UGH HATE HIM.

Who'll play in the World Series?
Hmm... if I had it my way Cardinals/Blue Jays. Rap your head around that one.

Cy Young winners?
Are you serious? I have no freaking clue. In the NL, Dan Haren is totally deserving but I don't think he'll get the number of wins to make him a candidate. I know absolutely zilch about AL pitchers, so I really have no idea.

High or low socks?
High socks, come on. But they have to be worn by the right person. For example, Billy Buckner:

Ohhhh yeah.

Who's your favorite pitcher?
Of all time probably Curt Schilling. Come on, the dude went to my high school! :)
Right now Max Scherzer kinda owns my heart.

♥ ♥ ♥
As long as he's not refusing autographs because he "really has to go" on a day he's not even pitching. >>
Actually will somebody make me an icon out of the above picture? :)

Favorite minor league player?
Um... I really don't know. Can I say Gerardo Parra since he was just recently in the minor leagues?

Best regular-season moment as a fan?
A game I went to when I was younger, when Junior Spivey got a walk-off home run. He was my favorite player at that time, and THAT MADE MY LIFE.

What do you do when there's no baseball?
Think about baseball. Haha but seriously now I have hockey to watch in the winter and still basketball and/or football if I really want.

Bonus!Hiller:

ahahahahaha

Sorry for killing your flist with these super-long posts. :/ But my dad just called me, and since my stepmom is working tonight we get to have some father/daughter bonding time just us. I'm excited! :)

I dreamed I was missing, you were so scared
But no one would listen, 'cause no one else cared
After my dreaming, I woke with this fear
What am I leaving when I'm done here?

So if you're asking me, I want you to know

When my time comes, forget the wrong that I've done
Help me leave behind some reasons to be missed
Don't resent me, and when you're feeling empty
Keep me in your memory, leave out all the rest

Leave out all the rest, don't be afraid
I've taken my beating, I've shared what I made
I'm strong on the surface, not all the way through
I've never been perfect, but neither have you

So if you're asking me, I want you to know

When my time comes, forget the wrong that I've done
Help me leave behind some reasons to be missed
Don't resent me, and when you're feeling empty
Keep me in your memory, leave out all the rest

Forgetting all the hurt inside you've learned to hide so well
Pretending someone else can come and save me from myself
I can't be who you are

I can't be who you are

-Linkin Park



As soon as the website is up and working again I will post a link to the Petition to keep the Coyotes in Phoenix. EVERYBODY PLEASE SIGN IT! :)

That person meme... you know the one... :D

First wicked_kathy gave me OLIVIA WILDE!



1. Do you like this person?
I LOVE HER! <3

2. How do you call this person?
Olivia... or Thirteen

3. Which color do you associate with this person?
Um maybe blue, because she looks really good in blue.

4. Looking at his/her character, what blood type do you think he/she have?
Type O because she's a giver! She gives to all!

5. What do you want to tell this person?
She is an amazing actress and not to listen to all the haters because they're just jealous!

6. What do you want to do with this person: hug, kiss or shake hands?
Hug. :) (you thought I'd say kiss, huh? Naw that would be awkward)

Then mformilly gave me Peter Mueller!



1. Do you like this person?
Hmm... That is a complicated question. I don't dislike him. But I don't love him (like the million+ Coyotes "fans" who seem to only know Peter by name and nothing else about hockey).

2. How do you call this person?
My little stoaner. The pothead. (Ask if you want me to expand on this.) Muells if I'm feeling generous. Sometimes "Peteeeerrrr!!" if I'm feeling extremely generous.

3. Which color do you associate with this person?
Red! Coyotes red!

4. Looking at his/her character, what blood type do you think he/she have?
Probably something stupid and random like B +
Or one that doesn't exist like C -, because he fails!

5. What do you want to tell this person?
Dude, cut your freaking hair!! You look so much hotter with short hair, and then you wouldn't have to slick it back with 8 tons of grease during every game!

6. What do you want to do with this person: hug, kiss or shake hands?
Shake hands, I guess. Maybe hug, very briefly. >>

***Comment asking for a person and you shall receive. =)

Yaaay, fic! About time, I know, I know. And this wasn't even one of the requests I got in the beginning of the year. But I got to go where the muse takes me... ^^

It's March 16th. Do you know what that means? That's right, it's my baby boy (I call him that because of the baby face) Drew's 26th birthday! ♥

In case you missed it, here's a crappy quality video I took of Drew talking about his start in the majors:



Very unfortunately I missed recording him talking about Jesus speaking to him at the tender age of 9. I swear to (his) God though, he said it and I can't make this shit up.

I'll make up for it by showing you this. Stephen in his college days!



Anyways, this is all in honor of his birthday, and for the return of baseball! :D


Where my icon comes from. Always giving thanks to God, of course. *sigh*
Hense the "not sinning since 1983". Stephen sinning? Never.

And with that being said, I hope that Stephen and Laura will have a great time celebrating tonight. ;)
