Obsessions and Tennis

If you haven't realized yet I tend to obsess with things a lot. Especially in a time like this when I have nothing to do. Here is a list of things that I am currently obsessed with/ have been obsessed with for a while:

1. Harry Potter- this has been going on for the past eight years, so nothing new

2. Soccer- this started in 2006 after watching every single game in the World Cup, but the obsession level has been especially high this year since I discovered my love for Manchester United

3. Tennis- this one is pretty new, it started at the beginning of this year when I was bored and decided to watch the Australian Open and then every single game of the French Open and Wimbledon. I believe that Roger Federer is God.

4. Reading- nothing new...

5. Other things that I don't feel like talking about right now

So, I wanted to focus on my tennis obsession right now since today was the end of Wimbledon. Oh, what an end it was. The game was four and a half hours long, which surprised me because, well let's face it, no one believed that Andy Roddick would be able to pull of a 5 setter. I mean he is good, but if you want to beat Roger you have to be amazing. I woke up at 9 to watch the entire match and when Roddick broke Fed's serve for the first time I went into shock, I basically stood in front of the TV for about an hour and a half (or until the epic fifth set) in complete shock. My mom was actually trying to talk to me at one point and I completely ignored her and kept staring on. And since I mentioned the epic 5th set of that match, I have to talk about it. I mean that set alone was longer than the entire women's final (which was really disappointing), and it took Federer 30 games to win the match. I think sometime after the 10-10 game I started pacing back and forth just waiting for the game to end. At that point I didn't care who won, I just wanted the game to end. Of course when it did end my hero won, even though it took him 4 and a half hours, 5 sets and 30 games in the last set. 

I felt really bad for Federer's wife while she stood there watching him struggle. I was freaking out in front of the TV, and I don't even know the guy, but she is his wife and all, she must have been freaking out... And then there was Andy, oh poor Andy. I think this is the 5th time that he lost to a Fed in a Grand Slam Final. Poor thing, I felt so bad for him, because he came so close, and he played so well, but he just couldn't do it. 

But I am very glad that Federer is again the number one player in the world (the only player to ever lose the number one rank and regain it), has the record of 15 titles, and can officially be called the greatest tennis player that ever lived.

I think that I have rambled for long enough now. Some last words: This Wimbledon was epic, definitely looking forward to the U.S. Open in August :P

Bye <3

Today is awesome

Basically I've had an amazing day, I mean summer is finally here and there is nothing to worry about. So here is why today is awesome:

1. Federer won the French Open 

I did have to wake up at nine o'clock in the morning (which is insanely early for me) to watch the final, but it was so worth it. Federer is the one athlete that I really do respect. He is just always so calm and he is just simply amazing. I was really excited that he won his first French Open title, and now he has a career grand slam, and tied Pete Sampras for a record of 14 Championship titles. (It's 11:11 make a wish). Sorry you had to go through this, but I'm really happy that he won :) 

2. My friend and I planned a surprise birthday party for one of my friends 

I've never planned a surprise birthday party before, and this was amazing. The party was supposed to be Harry Potter themed, but Party City had no Harry Potter merchandise, which made me really angry, but I did get her a tiara and a wand. The wand had a picture of Cinderella on it, but I printed a picture of the Harry Potter trio and taped that on top, so my friend was a magical princess. The surprise worked out very well because my friend did not suspect at all, and when she walked in it was as if someone had pressed pause because all of us just kind of stared at her for this one awkward moment before we screamed Happy Birthday. We had also put a bow on her boyfriend (get it? He was her present) and hidden him in the closet, and when she walked in he walked out of the closet (lolz he walked out of the closet) and she freaked out. It was pretty amazing. We had an awesome time, involving volleyball, watching He is Just Not That Into You and eating insane amounts of cake. 

3. DFTBA album

I got my DFTBA album in the mail on Saturday, but I didn't get to listen to in until right now. (I'm actually listening to it while I'm writing, and Exterminate, Regenerate is on) The album is amazing, I mean I wasn't expecting anything less, but it really is awesome, and all the songs are great too :)

4. My room

I got a lot of new furniture for my room on Saturday, and it was kind of just sitting in my room, and I was planning on getting it all together on Monday, but when I got home today my mom had fixed all of it and now my room is all nice and stuff.

5. Plans

 My friends and I decided to make a list of movies that we have to see together, and the list is about one page long. Every movie from The Lion King to Titanic to Ocean's 13 is on there. What we decided to do was rotate houses and watch all the movies on that list. The first movie we are watching is Forest Gump at Maya's house (remember her? My BFF) on Tuesday, and I'm excited. (I'm listening to the Absence of Christmas now :D)

So I'm currently completely exhausted. I shall go read and sleep.

Goodnight
