Olympics

So, I have been nothing less than obsessed with the Olympics this year. In fact, it is one of my favorite Olympics ever. I am trying to pinpoint why. I usually don't like the winter ones that much. Here are a few reasons though:

1. Lindsey Vonn and Julia Mancuso: Both beautiful, both kick ass skiers. It's too bad they have such a rocky relationship. I just really enjoy watching them though.

2. Apolo: He is just cool. I like his attitude, he's having fun, he makes it look effortless.

3. Evan Lysacek (sp?): He's really strange looking to me; sometimes he is kind of attractive, and sometimes he reminds me of Edward Scissorhands. I think it's awesome he won gold and awesome that he dates Nastia Liukin.

4. Joannie Rochette: Ok, this might actually be my number one but I don't feel like changing stuff. Her mom passed away Sunday. I can't imagine being able to get out of bed, let alone skating her best short program and being in 3rd place. I just cried while she skated, and then sobbed afterward when she started crying. It was incredible.

5. Shaun White/all snow boarders: Just...wow.

6. Bode: Way to not suck like you did in 2006. He has a cute little girl now and keeps climbing the podium.

7. Ice Dancing: Who would have thought? I only liked it because of the teams from North America. I loved Virtue/Moir from Canada, and the college kids from Michigan too.

8. That cute, awesome South Korean ice skater Kim Yu-Na.

9. Probably the reason I am so into it all...the athletes are all on Twitter! I love reading their tweets.

There are probably more, but those stand out. I have only been skiing once in my life...and I sucked at it. After watching all this fun stuff, I would maybe like to try again. (Don't worry, I realize I won't be skiing slalom or downhill anytime soon; or ever.) Well, that's my run down on the Olympics. It has even been causing me to stay up late...if you know me, that is pretty crazy considering how much I value my sleep!!
