lobelia321I am a penalty wreck after England/Portugal. My throat hurts with shouting. I am trying to recuperate because in 25 minutes the whole thing starts all over again with Brazil/France.
By tonight, I will know whether I will get my dream semi-final: Portugal/Brazil.
Missives from the land of Men Who Love Men:
In t'sports shop with t'8-year old:
8: "Mama, I really want a Kaká shirt."
Me: "Oh, look, Portugal shirts, Cristiano Ronaldo shirts. Omg, they are 38 pounds." *is seriously tempted*
Foreign male passers-by, pronouncing it with beautifully crisp vowels and trilled 'r's: "Cristiano Ronaldo."
Two minutes later, more men passing by: "Cristiano Ronaldo."
The mere sight of the number 17 shirt induces men, it seems, to sigh out aloud the name of my pretty sweetie.
This never happened with Orlando Bloom.
In front of t'TV, during penalties:
T'h: "Oh yes! Here comes Ronaldo! He will put the penalty in! He is the best-looking footballer in the world!"
Me: *thinks: 'intriguing'*
The logic seemed to be: He will put the penalty in because he is the "best-looking footballer in the world". T'h is normally quite reserved vis-à-vis mens' looks.
It has to be added that he also liked movie!Legolas. There is a theme here, I just know it.
P.S. *hugs![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
