only once every four years

sorry, but i just HAVE to talk about the olympics! theyre just wonderful. so far, my two favorite events have been the men's halfpipe snowboarding and the men's figure skating. for some reason my two favorite people this year are both insanly beautiful...but thats not why i like them... but it does help.
first, is Shaun White. oh gingers, you have no idea how hot you really are. anyways, shaun white was really the most impressive thing ive seen yet.
as he was going down the halfpipe, he flew higher and faster than anyone else ive seen. and along with that, he did not even need to do his second round, he had already won. but for his second round he have us all a treat and showed us the as of now, no-name trick he's been working on since the last olympics. he spun 4 times, while doing three flips... IN THE AIR. just... un-be-lieve-able! oh, and yeah, in case you didnt know, he's american. so we all love him.

my number two favorite is another america, Evan Lysacek. he's a cleaner, more glittery kind of hot. but yes. hotness. the snakes on his costume say it all. just like shaun white, evan won a gold medal for america. it was the first that we've gotten in figure skating since 1988. to wint the medal, lysacek had to upset Evgeni Plushenko... who im pretty sure is from russia, but ive been wrong about things being from russia before. but i did notice that as lysacek's routine went on, he played it safe for the first couple minutes, then hit a trigger somewhere in his mind that sent him into power. it was nothing but raw power for the end of his routine and it payed off, it wasnt about skating with grace and precision anymore, it was nothing but heart, and every last bit of energy he had being put into the final tricks of his olympic routine.
you could just see it in his body when he finished his final spin and pounded his chest and screamed "yes! yes! yes!"
no matter what, it was a victory for him and the gold was what topped it all off.
can i just say, that im also loving the shoulder pads on evan's costume? those plus the snakes? i, myself, am proud. and Gaga would be too.

oh, and johnny weir, what is with the rose crown-thing you wore? i mean come on...that was just a bad call... sorry johnny.
