i got new pants. weeee! im all happy now. ive been trying to find jeans forever and this time bluenotes delivered. mmmm.... jeans....
im watching the 3 meter springboard men's diving. the chinese are crazy. they always win this thing. not a splash on their jumps. alexandre despatie, the canadian diver, is a very attractive young man. (ie. really f-ing hot).
im turning into such a typical teenage girl... name calling girls she doesnt like, getting happy because of pants, drooling over guys... sigh... its sad. im disspointed in myself really.
apparently the canadian girl who was supposed to win gold in hurdles lost because she tripped on the VERY FIRST HURDLE. the FIRST one. can you bloody imagine? you train for YEARS, get to the olympics, make it to the finals, pretty much winning every preliminary races, the blowing it all on the FIRST hurdle. everyone complaining about scoring low on their homework or some shit like that, give that one a thought. heh... there's a chinese guy on his last jump who needed ones to get into 3rd. of course he rips the dive... oh, despatie is up.. he gets silver. woo!
its like canadian tradition or something... whatever we are a shoe in for, we spectacularly blow at (or come in 4th or 5th), and stuff we arent supposed to win, we get. well, not everytime obviously, but its some sort of trend. apparently the 3 meter isnt despatie strong point. go figure...
NO SCHOOL TOMORROW!!! WOOOO!!! im going to enjoy this whole wednesday off bit. i cant ait to start karate. i want to be good at it. i know its shallow of me, but i like being good at things. i like surprising expectations of me. apparently the girls on defense from the chelsea team were calling me shorty when i wasnt near. heh... clever, dont you think? i mean, they sure picked out the least obvious trait of mine... VERY clever of them.
anyways, time to be a olympic junkie again. ciao.

well, Canada pretty much blows, it's what we're good at. Canada should be proud of NOT beeing proud.
Emily, there is nothing wrong with being girlie AT ALL. I promise. Its the only thing we CAN do and not get flack for around here. And I think we should give our athletes a class entitled "How to deal with pressure"
Because it seems that pressure is the factor in messing up things.
