I've gotten a bit into hockey lately. I never really cared about it too much but coincidentally it's the only sport my boyfriend is really into, plus, his company does work with the Chicago Blackhawks, so because of them I've started following the team more. It doesn't hurt that I realized that they're all really cute. I have many favorite players now, but one of them is Tuomo Ruutu, because I like his name, because he's good and because he's also kinda cute. Imagine my dismay last week when my boyfriend told me "They've arrested Ruutu." Well, I was let down--what had my brand new cute semi-hero done? I imagined the following scenarios:
Wife-beating
Wife-murdering
Illegal possession of a weapon
Dog fighting
Cockfighting
DUI
DWI
But guess what? Ruutu was arrested by accident (thanks to the fact that nobody recognizes hockey players in this town) and his honor remained intact as did my faith in the team. No tarnished heroes for me, thus far.
(Hey I have a new contest up, by the way.)
