I swear the hockey posts will end soon
So, I've been watching the hockey games. And I made a comment to my dad that I'd never make it into the NHL if only because when in skates if I fall, I can't get up without help (seriously, this winter I was skating on the Canal alone and fell, and had to crawl across the ice for about 10-15 minutes until I reached something I could use to help me pull myself up).
This statement led to much mocking, since that is probably near the bottom of reason's why I'm not in the NHL (like how I'm a woman, or how I've never played hockey before in my life (and I'm including street hockey here...).
Anyways I now present
Reasons Why Lindsay Isn't An NHL Player
1. When I fall I can't get up (and I fall a lot, even when not on skates).
2. I can't climb over the "walls" (aka the "boards" as my father mockingly told me) for the shift change.
3. I have a fear of falling, also of being body checked into the "boards".
4. Whenever something happens I have to go "what happened? What's icing? Is that... our penalty?"
5. I can't skate. Well to be fair, I can move, I just can't stop without friction doing all the work for me.
6. Emery might find my fangirling awkward.
7. Fisher wouldn't appreciate me drooling over his prettiness.
So lately when someone has an LJ cut there's been a little + before the words start. At first I was scratching my head, but finally gave into temptation and clicked. Turns out it makes it so that the cut appears on my flist. Is this a new feature? I haven't heard anyone else talk about it, which makes me wonder if this is just a feature of the LJ Add-on I installed for Firefox. But I thought I had been using this add-on before (I recently had to reinstall everything) and it never had the feature before. So I thought I'd ask my flist. Consider yourself asked. *nods*

My mom laughs at me, because I never really watch hockey, but suddenly I'm talking about it all the time like I'm an expert. :P
Oh, and aboot the lj cuts: I've no idea what you're talking about...
I think it must be the firefox thing, because I'm at work now and all the little + marks are gone.

Hehe. :D

LoL. We have lots of so called soccer experts here. There are so many people that don't really watch soccer but always throw in their two pennies worth.

I use Firfox but didn't see any strange marks.

That's totally me. :P

Yeah, but I installed an add on. I use Livejournal Addons so I don't obsessively check my flist every two secons, and also, it tells me when it's peoples birthdays.
I also installed this Livejournal Friends Checker *thinking* it was the other one, and now whenever there's an LJ-cut I see a little +.
*shrugs*

I do that sometimes too. But most of the time I keep my mouth shut. In real life I'm not as chatty as in the internet (though some people might say that this is not true).
I didn't know that there are also LJ addons. I think I'm gonna try them. A birthday reminder would be cool. Though I have a little post-it on my monitor with the upcoming bdays. Yours is the next one. ;)

I'm actually more chatty in RL than on fadnom... kinda.

Yeah it's pretty nice. I mean, it's one thing to get an e-mail, but the first one I linked to is great because you get a little blue flower in the corner when it's someones birthday. I haven't used the second one at all, it asks for your password which immediately made me close it down.
Yours is the next one. ;)
I *know*. I can't believe it. Is it really June already?

It always depends on the people. With good friends, I'm also quite chatty.
Until now, the addon didn't do anything. So I have to wait. But I'm looking forward to the flowers.

I can't believe it either. I always want to skip June.
