Sports geekery
*points to subject* I bet those are two words you never expected to see together on my LJ ;).
But yes.... squigglesquiggleYAYsquee!!!!! OLYMPICS!!!!
Predictions:
1. Evgeny Plushenko will win, or else I will yell at the TV an awful lot.
2. Johnny Weir and Brian Joubert will have horrible costumes.
3. I will yell at the commentators all the time.
4. I will have the same not-very-deep thoughts about nationalism and country pride and competition that I do every time I watch the Olympics.
5. I will either cheer loudly when "Taipei China" enters while yelling at China about the name change, or pout when Taiwan isn't in the Olympics, despite fully realizing that it is a subtropical island and probably doesn't participate much in winter sports at all.
6. I will cheer for the Chinese ice skaters and then feel bad for cheering for China and then feel worse for thinking nationalistically.
7. I will find random sports that I didn't know existed (biathlon?).
8. I will get caught up in totally random sports that I usually care nothing about, just because.
9. I will cheer for all the underdog countries. (Sadly, my brain just collapsed on me and I forgot the word "underdog." I knew it was "under-animal," but kept defaulting to "underduck" for some odd reason. Possibly I was inspired by the dead duck wine bottle holder that my dad has.)
10. I am entirely too fond of numbered lists.
