Hit 'em hard, let 'em know who's who

I've been mocked, slapped, and incredulously gaped at for admitting this to people, but for those of you who don't know yet, I am an avid sports fan. I spent 5 hours today flipping from the Illinois/Arizona game, to the UCLA/USC game, to the Duke/Georgetown game (blast Georgetown for falling apart and losing in the last few minutes...), then to the Arkansas/Florida game. Of those four games, only one of the teams I wanted to win actually won. Fortunately, that team was Arizona, so I didn't have to remove my trachea with a pickle fork.
But I do really love sports, particularly basketball and football. I love the rules of the games, I love identifying with and hating players and coaches, and I am even rather emotionally effected by game outcomes. If any of you share my passion, I'd love to watch a game with you, although I warn you that I am prone to swearing, shouting, and tears.

In other news, yesterday was World AIDS Day. What did you do about it? I admit that I didn't do anything, aside from tell other people it was World AIDS Day.
