I shall talk of things, which are sometimes accidently true

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!! YOU GUYS! I WON TICKETS TO AN EXCLUSIVE GIG BY TORI AMOS (and Asteroids Galaxy Tour & Metric) ON MAY 7TH!

... when I'm also going to Lily Allen. Oh dear ;)

ETA: I will actually be able to manage to go to both (cause the Amos gig starts late). HOW COOL IS THAT? I have class the next day at 9. They are going to love me XD

Yesterday was the weirdest Queensday I've ever celebrated. I went with a bunch of friends to Amsterdam, to soak up the sun, dance to awful music and drink a bit too much.

While walking around in Amsterdam we suddenly heard the rumour that there had been an assassination attempt on our queen. Nobody believed it. Cause, you know, our queen. It just seemed insane and silly.

But was actually really true.

We slowly started to hear more details, but it all appeared to be not so serious. So we went on, got to the concert, and danced like idiots. (Come on, the return of 2Unlimited. How hilarious is that? Plus, DJ Tiësto, who is about the only dj I like when I'm in the right mood!)

Anyway. Got home. Turned on the telly, and it suddenly wasn't so funny anymore. Those poor people :(

( But I still have pics. Just to show how Queensday in Amsterdam is. )

So. Is it now the new Thing to start making sounds, pulling faces, smash random things when you play snooker? Because of the apparent "lack of characters in the game (except O'Sullivan)"?

I really wish people would stop saying that. Yes. There are loads of characters in snooker, not only O'Sullivan. Yes, snooker is fun even when O'Sullivan isn't playing (Dude. Did they even watch any of, for example, Stephen Hendry's matches???). The press about snooker annoys THE HELL out of me :/

I believe the words I'm looking for are "fuck you, snooker." So there.

YES! I need to be there! Just yesterday I was thinking how I miss seeing them play live and how amazing the last two times were when they played here ♥♥♥

I love Stephen Hendry. He played gorgeous. I hope he makes it really, really far.

Ryan Day, however, is being a wanker. How can you not allow Bond to win anything (yes, I know... its part of the game blah blah blah). Nigel Bond looks like the saddest person IN THE WORLD (and I keep thinking about jekesta's remark of him being some awesome leader for the youth)

Snooker is strange today. I couldn't watch the afternoon session, but I had my parents all set to watch Higgins vs. Holt, cause it looked like it would be a great match. But Holt apparently did, what he always does aka loose his shit. Poor boy. I'm sure he could be really good, top 16, winning Things, but his head is just totally against him. He should have a chat with Ronnie sometimes.

Hendry vs. Ding however appears to have been amazing. 4-4! I wonder who will win this.

I love Jamie Burnett & Stephen Maguire.

Ronnie is being an idiot. What else is new...

ETA: WTF is Stephen doing with his cue ball?

ETA2: Ronnie is absolutely rubbish. Really, he should be relieved that the worst it can get is 3-5 at this point >:(

ETA3: I must confess that I'm really rather rubbish in the whole left and right thing. I never notice if anyone is left- or right-handed, unless somebody else points it out to me. However, the way Ronnie is currently switching hands while playing is really rather pretty. ♥ 4-4 means that Ronnie is one lucky bastard, though. Against a better man (sorry Allen) it would probably be a lot closer to 1-7/2-6

ETA4: Has Stephen lost the plot? Nevermind. He found it again ;)

Is there something weird with what Stephen Maguire is wearing? I can't pinpoint it, but something appears to be off. He plays beautifully, though (favourite to win the title?)! ♥

I feel a bit for Jamie Burnett. Poor boy probably doesn't dare to move, with the whole investigation rubbish going on in the background (as if Stephen M. would do such a silly thing!)

Holt/Higgins promises to be an entertaining match! They play their final session tomorrow morning, I hope? Else I wouldn't be able to see it :(

Steve Davis makes me a bit sad. I hope he returns next year, I think Steve is awesome!

ETA: it's a strange tournament so far. Everyone (okay, okay, maybe not "everyone") has been on a 147 so far (and everybody fails at some point under 100)

ETA2: Oh, Stephen Maguire! I love how you get so annoyed when you miss (while being miles in front) and then sit down (and pout) in Ryan Days chair! ♥♥♥

ETA3: Stephen, stop being adorable! Now they are giggling over something (wouldn't it be awesome if they would be taking about something COMPLETELY different than snooker?)

Stephen Hendry vs. Mark Williams (4-5)

Final session of the World Championship for one of them tonight. How the hell can that happen?

- Ah, Stephen makes me so sad, when he's all tiny & sad in his chair :(
- Seems to run of the balls is with Mark J.

Snooker is being painful to watch again.

- Oh, Stephen Hendry. You are so sweet! I loved how he first giggled a bit about the referee and Mark's cue-tip and then totally saved the day by suggesting to take a break early.

(meanwhile on the other table: GRAEME IS MAKING A COMEBACK! YES!)

- And Stephen levelled. Cause they clearly want to make this as devastating as possible
- OH GOD SNOOKER! I sort of want Mark to level again :(

Also, Stephen Fry loves snooker. Shouldn't be surprising, cause Stephen is awesome

- I barely dare to watch any more
- OH GOD STEPHEN HENDRY JUST WON (10-7). And the look on his face when he potted that last pink? And Mark?!? They clearly both need hugs. Lots of them.

(Come on, Graeme!)

(YAY GRAEME! He did his animal scream of joy. I'm so pleased he won his first match! Poor boy deserves some good fortune)

SNOOKER HAS STARTED!

- Ronnie cut his hair again, so he's no longer The Hair.
- I love Rory McLeod. I hope he wins.

(I really need to leave the house at some point today. BOOH!)

ETA (cause I have a heart hidden somewhere ;)):
- Ronnie seems to be REALLY up for it
- Bloody hell, 20 minutes played 2 frames done and over with (140!)

Does anyone want me to spoiler-cut scores?

- It's really amusing how everybody goes ZOMG147 as soon as Ronnie posts two reds and two blacks XD
