Always Anna

So my site’s been down for the last few days, giving me an undesired break from blogging.  But now that it appears to be back up, my mind is more blank than George W. Bush’s.  Zing!

Anyways…

Last night I went to the Lakers/Celtics game here in Boston.  Now, as y’all know, I’m a huge Lakers fan (if you didn’t know that, you are clearly not paying attention).  In spite of the fact that I grew up hating the Celtics, ever since I moved to Boston I’ve rooted for them – when they’re not playing my Lakers, of course.  It’s fun to root for the hometown team, and since I hate every single non-Laker NBA team in existence (except for the Clippers, who I am curiously ambivalent about), I figure I might as well root for the Celtics when I go to their games.

Of course, this does not hold true when they play the Lakers.  And I don’t bother trying to hide my allegiance, which makes for an interesting experience.

Boston fans have a reputation for being… umm… how do I put this nicely?  Hmmm… I don’t think there is a nice way to say this. 

They’re loud. 

And angry. 

And rather than cheering on their own team, they like to scream obscenities at the team they are playing against.  

In general, I find this extremely annoying.  But when people are screaming AT my team, or cheering when one of my players gets knocked to the ground and stays down, I get a little fired up.  So it was nice when one of the Massholes sitting two rows behind me got kicked out last night.  And even nicer when my boys kicked some Celtics butt.

Y’all can keep hating on Kobe.  And keep wishing he was on YOUR team.
