Earlier we were watching the news and Durham is getting a new ice rink! There is a very real possibility the Wasps are coming back to Durham! As soon as the 2010/11 hockey season! It's been so long since the Wasps left Durham and we've never moved on to support another team, because they weren't ours. 13 years, and I've never stopped believeing that one day my team would come back.

I was at the Riverside rink for every home game from when I was a young teen to when the team disbanded. Rick Brebant, the #9 forward was my first big crush. I have drawers full of autographed programmes and hockey magazines. I have so many memories of the hockey years, how the rink was deadly with its lack of plexi glass or nets around the boards. How there were no seats for a long time and the floor moved in certain places. The lines to get in, the singing, the swish of blades on ice and the fights.

I'll be keeping my fingers crossed for sure, but right now, everything looks positive.

Also, my monitor is fixed. James got a new card last night and fitted it really easily. Though there were issues about actually buying it. He called into PC World on the way home from work and they were going to charge him over £100, which didn't sound right at all. We'd had offers of help so he was coming home to use those when he decided on a whim to call into an independent store. They were technically closed, but opened up for him, gave him a card for way cheaper than £100, and it worked. We're still sharing limited net access, but that's fine as long as I have my own computer.

MCR continue to be awesome. The blogs and twitters have been delighting me, and now it seems Ray has a suicidal phone, too. Then there's





To end, have a gip. I've never had a me icon before, but that's me at last years Camp Sparkle. Hair decorated by Rikes and various other Camp Sparklers, icon made by Turlough :)

There is a very real possibility the Wasps are coming back to Durham!

This makes me so happy for you, sis! Also, you'll have to resurrect your Wasps icon, won't you?

Glad to hear things are looking up a bit on the computer/monitor/netaccess front. Definitely not ideal yet but still a bit better.

I've just read Ray's post and those guys, those guys! Their blogging is just the best thing, really.

And I approve of that picsolospam!

This icon? *g*

Man, when we saw we so excited. The show had our old friends, both being interviewed and in old match reports :D

Yeah, it won't be ideal until next Tuesday, not that I'm counting down or anything, but at least I have Silver back. I missed him.

Their blogging is awesome! And I'm sure Mikey is making some dirty joke with his that's not skimmed milk comment. Which, way to go, Mikeyway!

It is a pic of awesome!

Woot! Wasps! *keeps fingers crossed*

and hurray for fixed computers, and MCRs blogposts are making me smile so hard :D

[turps33.livejournal.com]

I want them to come back so badly! Of course, we'll have to start saving for saving tickets now, but I don't care!

Today has been a good day :D

[sperrywink]

Aww, you're so cute about your hockey.

Desolation Row! Mikey in handcuffs! Yay!

[turps33.livejournal.com]

My Wasps!

I may have pushed my hockey AU up the list because of this.

Mikey in handcuffs. Yes! You always get the important points of a post!

I was totally fascinated with hockey when I was a teen too! Only on the national level and I only watched it on tv at home, but Sweden was really good in the 70s so there was a lot of hockey on tv. I remember the very distinctive sounds of a match, the swish of the skates and sharp sound of the sticks and puck and the dull thuds when someone came up hard against the barrier. Good luck with getting your Wasps back!!

Yay!! for having a functional computer again!!!

*swallows tounge* Where did you get that picture?!!! Are there any more???

[turps33.livejournal.com]

Hockey is amazing, though it spoiled me for other games as they always seem so slow. The Wasps were the team back when I watched and sometimes the rink was so packed I'm surprised they weren't shut down. I was glad when the got nets though, because man, do pucks hurt when they hit.

Silver is back, yes!

No more that I can find. I found it google searching for pics and it seems to be a promo pic because it was posted at a lot of different sites talking about the single. I hope there are more though, because so hot omg!

[turloughishere.livejournal.com]

There has to be more pics like that, there just has to be!!! Or at least a seriously hires version of that one!!!

[rikes]

Glad to hear you have a working monitor again!

YAY CAMP SPARKLE!!!!

[turps33.livejournal.com]

As is Camp Sparkle!

[crowgirl13.livejournal.com]

My entire flist will be over come with hockey!
[which is fine by me, as I do like hockey.]

That pic! Holy fuck!!!!!!!
UGH.
*is ded*

[turps33.livejournal.com]

I love hockey so much. Just the thought my team could be coming back fills me with glee.

I know! The pic is giving me bad thoughts, like if Bob's hands are free he's so going to take advantage of the situation.

[frausorge]

Yay working monitor!

Also, that is a very... atmospheric picture.

[turps33.livejournal.com]

I want to cling to my monitor and not let it go, even if it is ugly and old. At least it works.

That picture prompts so many stories in my head.
