    The Cubs are a Major League Baseball team from Chicago, IL. They are (unfortunately) best known for having the longest championship drought in professional sports history as they have not won the World Series since 1908 or even appeared in the World Series since 1945. They usually suck and when they do make the playoffs they tend to lose spectacularly. After making the playoffs last year with the 3rd best record in baseball (before losing in the National League Championship Series), they went on to have the best record in baseball this season and now find themselves tied with the Los Angeles Dodgers in this years NLCS, putting them 2 wins away from the World Series (or 2 losses away from my heart breaking again). You are correct to assume I am a dedicated (die hard) fan, though defecated fan would have made sense too with all the **** I've put up with with this team. My username is a play on a Budweiser ad that used to appear on the backs of the Cubs official magazine (the Vineline) that said "Nothing beats a Cub fan Bud man", it's been my screen name for basically everything since I signed up for AOL Instant Messenger in the mid 90's. The 987 part is just random numbers because any meaningful numbers to me were already taken.

    And in more disappointing sports news (not that I follow too much), my town's hockey team was just defeated insultingly

    Pfff. "No goal." That was clearly a valid penetration of the net

    I don't support either team, I just want the series to go on. So in that case... Go Dodgers!

    Never mind; you raise a good point.

    Actually it's funny you say that because for a period of time I was so crushingly depressed that the only thing keeping me going was "Do you really not want to see Episode VII?" I really wish there was some kind of way I could thank George Lucas for creating this series.

    I'm pretty sure he's gotten a lot of "thanks" from us sitting in his bank account. :)

    For real though, I would love to meet him just so I could say thank you in person.

    I'm honestly so nervous I don't think alcohol would even effect me....plus it's generally frowned upon at my work.

    ...That's a good point. Well, I hope you make it through the day without too many nervous breakdowns!

    And speaking of scotch, some highlights from my Halloween weekend:

    • Went our partying every night from Thursday to Sunday; ended up feeling so fatigued last night that instead of going to the club my best friend was DJ'ing at like I was planning to I just stayed in, roasted pumpkin seeds, baked cookies, brewed tea, and watched A New Hope while my body recovered.
    • Me and a friend of mine who looks a fair bit like me convinced quite a few people that we were fraternal twins.
    • That same friend drunkenly threw an empty bottle of bourbon so far off a balcony we never heard it land. After he chucked it, he turned to me with the biggest grin on his face and said, "That felt really good."
    • That same night as we were leaving, a different friend jumped out of our car while it was moving, landed on his chest, got up, and ran away for, like, no reason at all. This isn't the first time he's done that.
    • I fell off the same fence while hopping it twice in one evening. The second time I was so wasted that when I landed on my side I just started laughing because of how badly it hurt. My whole body is still sore and my lower back feels like it's being punched every time I cough or sneeze or sit down or get up.
    • Got complimented on my Jon Snow costume a lot.
    • I'm finding more and more tiny white hairs spread throughout my beard. I'm 22. Twenty-two.
    All in all a 10/10 five-day period.

    EDIT: My shoulder is now bleeding for some reason
