So I just spent another 20 minutes or so whinging to Deb that I can't watch the Werder Bremen vs Chelsea match tonight and it's Torsten's birthday, dammit.  And she was actually pretty sympathetic considering she totally doesn't get this obsession  :)  Then M came in and said I could have an early present and left a large Thorntons toffee cake on the desk ..... which made Deb & I pretty happy  :)  And did I mention that 'Radek' left an apple tart on my desk yesterday?  *g*  He said the cake fairy had been ... I don't think he got why I was suddenly spluttering coffee everywhere.  Anyway, I can't eat all this cake so help yourselves  ;)

Plus today I'm quite cross about something but am having trouble not feeling guilty about being cross.  Did I mention that guilt is my default position?  Along with paranoia?  And an over-active imagination  :) 

Oh, and I've changed my default icon for the day.  Because I can't watch the match tonight.  And no, I'm not over it yet :(

*returns to sitting in a corner with her cake*

Nah. Life's too short to feel guilty. If you're cross you're cross. Own it. Revel in it. Then go eat more cake. *hee*

Thank you :) I'm trying to feel less guilty about everything, and i think I have a pretty good reason to be a little cross right now.

*offers you some cake*

Don't they like...uh...repeat sports games? Can't you just put a huge poster somewhere that says "Tell me the score, and you'll die" somewhere?

Hope whatever made you guilty/cross/paranoid stops. *prods you* And don't sit in the corner, but enjoy your cake.

*hugs*

Yeah, Mark has offered to get someone to tape it for me, but it's not the same as seeing it live :( I want to see Torsten running around on his birthday ;)

Instead, I will have to either sit at the computer or in front of teletext constantly refreshing the page to try and keep up with the score.

As for the guilty thing, I just hate being cross with people and usually end up blaming myself for whatever they did in the first place! But I'm taking the fine advice of you and [livejournal.com profile] larian and distracting myself with this cake :)

*hugs*

Isn't there a live feed available over the net? *shrugs* I donno. Sorry dude. Not a sports buff.

Guilt should be bitch slapped and hidden in a box somewhere far away. But since we can't do that, yes, enjoy the cake and try to forget whatever's bothering you. Or you could listen to some cool music and sing aloud. :) I do that. Makes me feel good.

*big huggles*

You make me chuckle. LOL
What [livejournal.com profile] larian said.

As usual, I'm running late getting ready for work, but your post was more important to respond to.

I think I'm going to scoot out of work early this afternoon to go grocery shopping for tomorrow. :) I really don't have to prepare any food for tomorrow but I feel so guilty showing up with no food in hand. We're guests at two different meals, one lunch, one dinner. Three additional mouths to feed. I should bring something.

Hopefully you can find the game being streamed somewhere, but since it doesn't have the global magnitude of the World Cup....

Ok. I.have.to.get.my.arse.moving.

{{{{hugs you}}}} as I have a piece of the Thorntons with a cup of very hot tea. But not while standing in the shower. :)

You make me chuckle. LOL

Glad to help :)

I feel I may be whinging about this for days ~ I've certainly worn Deb out today with my moaning!

Going out for two meals in one day, eh? Enjoy yourself ;)

The Thorntons cake didn't last very long, but don't worry, I didn't eat it all myself! In fact, I only got one piece! :P

*hugs*
