State love, state hate and fandom (plus I'm cleaning *gasp*)

Dear Iowa and Vermont, whenever I think about you, I get a naughty little thrill. It goes straight to my heart and then down into my gut. I tingle with happiness and glee. You guys. Oh man but especially you, Iowa. You and all your crazy vowels in your name. I especially get tingly when thinking of you.

<3xinfinity,
me

PS Massachusetts? I still love you. Let's make out.

Dear DC,

Although I don't get tingly at the mere thought of you, I must admit that you are starting to look even more attractive to me. Your monuments. Your Icee. Your recognition of other marriages, even same-sex ones. Your Kaalee. Your president. Your museums. Your recognition of same-sex marriages from other states (yes, I'm more than willing to say you're a state now, just cause you're that sexy). I think I'm falling in love with you.

Looking forward to completing the fall,
me

Dear California,

Come on. Stop being such a marriage tease. Put out already. I'm gagging for it.

Frustrated,
me

Dear Arizona,

Fuck off, you stupid, narrowminded, bigoted, piece of shit where that fucker, John McCain lives. You might be all that is warm and lovely but you're a frigid bitch.

No love,
me

In other news - I'm cleaning and purging. 4 drawers of t-shirts are now 3 sorted into "work", "not work and love" and "housework/hairdying/too fat for/prolly will never wear but can't bear to part with". Yep - work casual at an animal shelter means jeans and t-shirts without Darth Vader on them. If I ever get another job, I'm going to need an all new wardrobe as I have like 2 professional outfits.

hd_worldcup posting is going strong. Oh man, the competition is FIERCE. What're you guys thinking of it so far? Any favorites? What team do you think will win? You think it'll be another close one?
