Confession time
Sunday, 9 June 2024 15:13I'm falling in love with another snooker player.
...And you won't believe who it is.
( Prepare for a shock... )
So, after spending 10 years with him as my "player I love to hate" in this sport, down to always cheering against him under nearly any circumstances, I've managed to develop quite the obsession with him.
It's been happening gradually over the last couple of months, I think. I was actually really sad for him when he got knocked out of the World Championship. So much that I couldn't forget him for several days after that happened. There was something about the way he looked and played during that match, as well as what he said in interviews immediately afterwards, that really made me feel for him.
Then, about three weeks ago, I came across a long interview of his from the official WST Youtube channel. I remember arguing with myself on whether to click that or not, but I got curious, and so I clicked... and I sat there for 20 minutes melting to an absolute puddle of love. Even after that, I was trying to "fight off" the interest in him for a couple of weeks, but I'm admitting it now: I'm very definitely falling in love here.
... I won't allow him to tug at my loyalty to Ronnie, though. But he's very close to even that, now.
How bad it got? I've been on Redbubble to buy a "Team Jester" t-shirt. That probably explains it.
...And you won't believe who it is.
