I didn't, but that doesn't surprise me. Lmao.

Yeah, I saw that Willian hit the post twice in the first half. I'm sure that they'll turn things around in their favour at Camp Nou. We'll see how those go soon. Mm-hmm.

Hahaha, thank you! Exactly – especially since Besiktas was down to 10 men. :b Bayern has secured their spot in the quarterfinals. However, Barça still needs to win their home tie against Chelsea.

Cool. ^~^ For sure. Black Panther is probably my second favourite superhero now, after Spider-Man! Nah, I never found the Olympics interesting tbh.

Oh. Where do you work? Yes, I loved it. :) I'm so glad Marvel made that movie.

Ah, I hope it all goes well. Stay safe! I'm heading to the mall for a bit with my bestie and then later on we're going to watch Black Panther.

乁| ･ 〰 ･ |ㄏ What are your plans for this weekend?

Again, I got distracted and didn't catch either of those. Lol.

I didn't get a chance to. My computer was acting up, so I was stuck figuring out how to get to the root of the problem and I completely forgot that the Champions League was on.

Hey. I'm still here. Ahh, no. I believe it was actually your turn to reply. >_< Mm-hmm, it's too bad that Bayern's CL game isn't until next week though. :\

Precisely, so neither stance is more correct than the other. Case closed.

You don't have to agree, it's my opinion. Klose is my all-time favourite and I'm not only basing that on his accomplishments as a player or the legendary status that he's earned, but because of how he behaves on and off of the pitch. He's honest and humble—plus he demonstrates excellent sportsmanship even in defeat, which cannot be said for Messi (if you need proof of this, watch the 2014 World Cup trophy presentation where he acted like an absolute prick and a sore loser towards everyone who approached him *including his own teammates*). Lahm and Schweinsteiger are additional examples of players who fit that criteria. You see, I'm much more inclined to value individuals who possess a perfect balance of success, skill, and – most importantly – integrity as opposed to those who can round up a bunch of statistics because the rest of the team is doing 95% of the work for them.

I'm not denying his talent, I'm simply pointing out that—to me—he's overrated like Ronaldo. I see.

Eh, that's subjective. Sorta. My mom isn't that interested in it. A sixth sense for what…?

I used to tune into their matches occasionally (i.e. mostly during the Champions League or for El Clásico). I don't particularly fancy him much either, yet my dad insists that he's the best. Really? Strange. All of the Barça fans I've spoken to adored him and were very upset when he made the switch to PSG. Right, except Pep purposefully screwed Ibra over in favour of Messi. :$

I see! Now that you mention it, I don't think I've watched Barcelona play since Neymar Jr. left the club. He was the only reason I ever paid attention to the team. :b

Yeah, exactly. The conditions aren't ideal. Definitely! I have to cheer Bayern on! How about you?

It's too unpleasant to enjoy any of those things. I prefer to stay warm indoors.

Thanks, lol. That's fair! There are positives and negatives attached to each season. I personally didn't mind the colder months when I was younger since the holidays were special and I looked forward to that time of the year. I simply don't see it this way anymore.

Pretty good. I bought a couple of items that was I was looking for. Mm, it's kind of difficult to do anything exciting during the winter because the weather is so miserable.

I appreciate that in either case! Nice, let me know how that goes. :D I actually came home from the mall an hour ago and I'm probably going over to my best friend's place later.

Haha, no; it was a decent attempt though. What are your plans for this weekend?

Kind of. It's on and off, if that makes sense. Sorry to hear that. :( Remember you can always talk to me about anything that's on your mind. I wouldn't say I am. Why?

Thanks, but nope—I've just felt unhappy for a while. I'm sure it'll pass… Gosh, that sounds awful. :\ With any luck, you'll never have to go through something like that again.

Aw! Your messages were so sweet that they made me smile – thank you very much! Oh no, colds are the worst. D: I'm glad to hear that you're fine now at least. n_n LOL. Well, truthfully speaking, I haven't been at my best. I'm dealing with a lot of grief and the healing process is slow. Thankfully some days are easier to get through than others.

Cheers. ^~^ How are you doing?

Hey, thanks! I wish the same for you. Hopefully 2018 will be a year full of progress and prosperity. :)

Haha… I won't hold it against you even if you don't. c: Oh, I legitimately had no idea about this; you're completely right, that's like having a World Cup and missing all of the popular stars. D:

I'm also the type of person that prefers spontaneity. Regardless, there's a very long way to go until July 2018. >3< Really? Why do you think that?

Ah yes—forza Juve, rofl. True! Have you already started planning what you want to do on your birthday? The Olympics aren't really my thing. I still like to keep track of Canada's medal standings though. :b

I'm supporting PSG as well! ;D Lol, it'll be interesting to see who goes through to the quarterfinals in the Barcelona and Chelsea pairing – but I bet that most football fans are expecting Barça to win.

Thanks. :3 Haha, well the most interesting draw is definitely Real vs. PSG! They finally have a challenging opponent during the round of 16. What are your thoughts?

Ahh, I'm so happy because Toronto FC just became the first Canadian team in history to win the MLS Cup!!

Oh cool! Did you do anything special? I've never actually watched that, but it seems cool.

Yay, that's fantastic! You're welcome. I still need to watch the deleted scenes and extra footage from Homecoming. Haha, that's quite alright; you don't have to apologize!

Worry not, I'm still around! Oh, it's great to hear that things have gotten better since then at least. I'm happy for you! :P Huh…? Natalie Portman? Hahaha! No, that's actually me – but thank you for the compliments. ^w^

Aw, how sweet of you. :'D I'm doing alright, thanks! You? Rofl, yeah, it's an accurate description!

I see, that makes sense. n_n

They're a lot more chill than I was expecting. I imagined it to sound like rap since you wrote gangs, lol. I wish I could understand the words of the songs because lyrics matter the most to me in music. :) Nevertheless, it's interesting!

I don't think so!

No, it was just kind of surprising to me. c:

Haha, what, really?! :O Yes, we usually call them Siamese cats in North America. :b

Thank you. ^~^ It's good to see Müller scoring goals again. Great! Yup, featuring one of the cutest little kittens I've met!

Haha, I've definitely done that too. Yup! I'm currently watching Bayern vs. Celtic. :) What about you?

Basically, lol. There are many others that I've been following too. Hmm. Whenever I can, really! I love them because they fuel my creativity in a lot of ways and they often provide a bit of an escape from reality.

I see! My favourites will always be Sherlock and TWD, but I also like Stranger Things, Game of Thrones, Orphan Black, Fear The Walking Dead, The 100, and Bates Motel.

Cheers! Awesome, what other shows do you like to watch? :D The name is convincing enough on its own, rofl. Anytime! Now you're officially prepared for the autumn season. ;)

Glad to hear it! Haha, I can only imagine. C: Pretty fine – I've been catching up on some TV series again. I'm also excited because The Walking Dead returns this weekend! By the way, the maple leaf looks great. :b

Hi! Lol. I'm still here, I just disconnected for a little while since I haven't had the chance to be online that much lately. Thanks, I appreciate the compliment! How are you doing?

No kidding. xD Aha, that's fun I guess. I'm probably going out later to chill with my best friend. c:
