Things I love

AS Roma

One of my favorite football teams is the wonderful AS Roma. How did such a love affair start? Well, when il capitano of the Romanian national squad, Cristi Chivu, decided to be their next super defender, I started watching their matches and I was hooked. It wasn’t easy, of course, watching them come second behind Inter time after time after time….after time. And when Chivu decided to leave and go to Inter, of all teams, I was devastated But my love for AS Roma didn’t fade one bit. And I am sure that one of these days…or someday, they will so kick Inter’s ass and win Serie A. Mark (mock) my words

Anyway, I love them so much, I even spent 89 euros on one of these

My friends insisted I was out of my mind, but I love football jerseys…I’ll get into that some other time Why Mexes, you ask? Because when Chivu was still a giallorosso, they were an unstoppable defending duo…well they tried to be, anyway . He reminds me that once him, Chivu, AS Roma and I were all a big happy family

My cat Fluffy, formerly known as Fat Bastard

This is our little bundle of joy And by little I mean huge, and by bundle of joy I mean grumpy old bastard Which is the reason I love him so much. He’s 10 years old at the moment and weighs 8.5 kg, after a strict diet He used to weigh a whopping 10.5 kg, which made him look like he swallowed a football. But he can be so cute at times, especially when I have to drag him from under the farthest corner under the couch to take him to the vet, desperation and terror gleaming in his big eyes. And despite his weight and size (that “chair” he’s sitting on is quite big, believe me) and the fact that he could take on any of us and come out victorious, he is a total pussy…go figure

He is one of the things I like most in the world…despite all of the permanent scratch marks he gave me when he was young and restless…and the ones from last week, and the week before that…little bitch
