My most favourite (is that proper grammar?) thing to watch in the Olympics is the diving.

 

I just think it's awesome how those people can do all those flips and spins or whatever. All the rules and stuff they have to abide by as well.

 

My favourite diver is Alexandre Despatie. He's REALLY awesome and he's also Canadian:biggrin2: (so I tried to find a photo on Google and there are some funny looking photos but I chose this one because it looks kinda cool how he can reach his feet like that in mid air)

And one with him when he's not diving

I can dive, but sure as heck not like those guys. There is this pool in my city and I went to it one time and jumped off the diving board platform thingy. There were two (or three, I can't remember) levels and I went on the second one from the top. It was damn scary! When I jumped off and hit the water, it hurt! And my bikini bottom almost came off. Note to all you guys, wear a one peice when doing activity like that. Please!

Can't wait to see Michael Phelps -- he's not just American, he's local

to my area. Hate to say it Nico, but obviously I'm rooting for him

in the swimming department!

Too bad Thorpey isn't swimming this year... he'd be kicking arse in the pool!

 

For those who don't know who I'm talking about...

The opening ceremony was amazing!

 

Go Australia!

 

The Aussie's outfits were ugly... and too casual...

Im gonna watch gymnastics, swim and basketball for sure, dunno if something else.

 

I really want Michael Phelps to win 8 golds!! He's a great sportman!!

 

Oh yeah! Love the basketball!

 

I was watching the Opals (women's basketball team) play Belarus... they won 78-61...

Yay! Come on in! I cheered when I saw Hong Kong... and Taiwan too (which was called Chinese Taipei... never knew that!)

 

I remember watching The Sydney Olympics... it's quite memorable because my niece was born the day of the opening ceremony...

 

And I remember the Atlanta Olympics... and Charles Barkley doing the actions to YMCA during a time out in the basketball! :naughty:

Exactly!!!

 

Huge feet also mean... huge shoes! :naughty:

 

I love saying that... cause someone will start to think of the chickeny answer to that!

The large feet go into the large socks that go into the large shoes. All makes sense. Sometimes I go to Sport Check or Footlocker (or wherever the place may be) and sometimes there are some big shoes on display.

 

And yes, people automatically start thinking of a naughty anwser to that question.

Yeah, massive ones...

 

I don't know why people would be thinking chickeny thoughts like that :naughty:...

Me neither *shrugs shoulders*:mf_rosetinted:

 

People used to ask me that and I used to have to think for a minute. Then my reaction was, "eeww, I think I know what you mean"

 

But know I know exactlly what people mean.

Sadly I have a very dirty mind... a lot of stuff people say, I can see the dirty side of...

 

Part of that is because some of my friends have the dirtiest minds ever...

Yep... we were the really weird group at school, so if we didn't have dirty minds we wouldn't have been considered weird!

Haha that's totally okay. We don't have ONE "weird" group at school, we have more than one of those haha

 

I could be considered weird as well. Or, "special", "unique"...whatever the term you want, feel free to choose. Like just this past year I was helping out with grade 12 graduation (next year when I graduate, other people will have to do that hard work for me haha) and we (some of the people in the council organizing the whole thing) were watching from the window thingy above. And I was making jokes or something. My friend told me that I had a unique sense of humour. I was thinking, "thanks Andrew for telling me that, as if this young lady didn't already know dude" haha In reality, my sense of humour isn't THAT unique (or maybe it is, if someone felt like they needed to point that out to me) haha

we just saw it an hour ago.... on NBC i think... VERY nice

I know! I saw some of the light drumming stuff and some waterfall thingy.

 

I said to my mom, "I wonder how much all that cost."

 

She told me, "Millions"

 

I felt like saying, I know THAT but exactlly how much (like a number figure) is what I meant:roftl:
