Maybe that's why, with 3:08 left Saturday [Patriots at Broncos], the sellout crowd started chanting, "Let's go Steelers ... Let's go Steelers ..."
Denver's fans understand what's ahead of them. And so do the Broncos.
"Of course you pull for Pittsburgh," said Denver defensive end Ebenezer Ekuban. "Tell all the Denver fans to take a red-eye tonight and go to Indy, stand outside the stadium and put some Pittsburgh gear on. Be traitors at least for one day. We need Pittsburgh to come here."
Totally printed out a Steelers logo and pasted it on my shirt while I was watching the game. Just because Ekuban's my favorite. (Simply because I love his name.)
AFC championships in Denver for the first time. FuckingA. I think it's funny that New England's chances for being the first team to win 3 Super Bowls in a row was thwarted by the last team with that chance.
I don't know anything about the Panthers, I always just assumed that Seattle was going to the Super Bowl. Denver's the favorite over the Steelers, though. Which makes me happy.
I really wish Denver would play the Rams again. Or anyone, just here. I've never been to a football game and I want my first time to be my favorite team, not some local crappy high school game.
You know what else is funny, that I just found out? Both the AFC and NFC championships are going to be played by a team with a (13-5) record at a team with a (14-3) record.
More Random Denver/Football Facts I Heard From Those Guys Who Do The Announcing On The Games.
-Denver was the first team to beat Brady (Patriots) in the playoffs.
-6 teams have tried to beat the Patriots twice in one year since 2001. All failed. Then along came Denver... Lucky #7.
-In the last 25 years, no teams have had fewer head coaches than Pittsburgh and Denver.
My dad gave me a cold. Grr. I had a fever, but I took 2500mg of vitamin C and it (and all my symptoms) went away. But now, two days later, they're back. I'm sneezing like a... something that sneezes a lot.
I'm not trying out for orchestra. I was sorta on the fence, but I convinced myself while explaining it to Stephanie.
I'm so tired of the whole political mess going on. Everyone is backstabbing and horrible and I'm being dragged into it. Not to mention that it is the single hardest class I'm in, emotionally and socially because there are perhaps 3 people that talk to me regularly. Since I came in from Chamber (the bad orchestra) this year (and was the only one to do so), everyone has been together for at least a year without me, and I'm just ignored.
And the teacher (not the good one) really pisses me off. Example: I talked to the drama teacher (who directs the plays) about having the people in the pit expand the piano score for the musical into parts for at least a few orchestrians (don't think that's a word, but it should be). The drama teacher suggests it to the Orchestra teacher, Mrs. Rola. Rola jumps at the chance to not put up a signup sheet for those interested in the pit like she is supposed to do, but picks the suckups and her strolling kids to do it. And didn't even mention it to anyone else until after they had a lot of the music done, so she could say something about how they've already started and it wouldn't work to jump in late.
People are talking about everyone else behind their backs, and I'm doing it too, to a girl who was a friend last year (I don't really consider her a friend anymore, but we still talk) and I feel horrible.
I also feel horrible for quitting. Because I will stop playing the viola. Not at first, but slowly, until it's gathering dust in the corner. And I did love doing it. I just can't do it in that setting anymore. There's no point going back to Chamber, because though the atmosphere was better, the music was unchallenging and I have other classes I need to take. And, to a lesser degree, because as much as I hate to admit it, you never really get over your first big crush. And mine, way back in 7th grade, was on my first orchestra teacher, whom I still see occasionally, but only through orchestra. Now that I'm not doing it next year, I don't think I'm ever going to see her again.

Just looked at what I changed my LJ background to and lo and behold, you can't read it. Anything on it. For some reason, the way I had it worked out so that one entire picture showed on the left and right of my text box didn't work today, so I just unfixed it and told it to show across the entire page. Now you can't read the text. And the pictures change in color so much I don't know if any color will work. I'll probably have to b&w it all and just go from there. Urgh, more work.
