WORLD QUIDDITCH TOURNAMENT, 2010

[PRINCESS TROLLESTIA]

I AM FREAKING THE FUCK OUT RIGHT NOW, THERE IS A LEGIT INTERNATIONAL QUIDDITCH LEAGUE AND THE TOURNAMENT IS BEING HOSTED IN NEW YORK THIS WEEKEND.

BEST OF ALL, MY UNIVERSITY HAS A FUCKING TEAM AND IT IS PANTSSHITTING AWESOME.

Check it out!

Discussion:
Exactly how awesome is this?
Does your university/high school have a team?
How nerdish is this?

I actually heard something about this on NPR last week. Apparently they've been doing it for awhile but it's recently picked up speed and gotten tons of press.

1. This is how awesome it is: ZOMG I AM JEALOUS THAT I AM NOT IN SCHOOL AND ABLE TO PARTICIPATE THIS IS NOT FAIR ZOMG WHYYYYY AHHHH AWESOME LEVEL HAS SHOT THRU DA ROOF

2. I don't know if we have a team here. Probably not because our school system sucks where I live and all teachers lack imaginations and possibly souls. There's a buttload of good reasons why I'll be homeschooling my kids.

3. It's nerdish to the point of being THE COOLEST THING EVER. Like, life-size Pac Man. Or Drive-By Rave Party. Or Twister.

THIS IS SO COOL! And gloriously nerdy.

I set up a Quidditch game on my 18th birthday back in March. It was really fun. We played in a huge park, and it was Slytherin vs Gryffindor.

My university doesn't have a team because we're fucking lame when it comes to sports, we lose varsity day to our rivals every year (except on drinking and fighting, apparently), and they're epic at sports and they don't have one.

I did text my friend at Oxford and say that if she doesn't do something towards it then I'm disowning her.

THIS. IS. AWESOME.
And proof that Harry Potter is probably the most popular book in the history of history.

The best part…

The IQA serves to promote Quidditch as a new sport and lead outreach programs to increase athletic participation among children and young adults and bring magic to communities.

YES. OH, HELL YES.
