The Middle Distance

the fandom survey: oh, I was hoping that you'd be one of the few who could give the whole thing a trail run -

I'd love to! So many fandom surveys I've seen were appalling ethics-wise -- but I also met one of my oldest multi-fandom friends when she was just dipping her toes in the waters of fandom-essay-writing.

But I haven't seen Brazil play yet. it'd be fun to be among real soccer fans - or to have them in the family.

Their first game was last Tuesday against Croatia. 1-0, and Mom thinks that's a harbinger of Apocalypse. No. Croatia was actually really good. And, historically, Brazil does take a while to build up. And yes, Ronaldo was sucking. All of this is true. And still....

The match that has the greatest chance of causing bloodshed on my friendslist is Sunday afternoon's: Brazil v. Australia.
