I have always loved watching both the Summer & Winter Olympics, ever since I was a little girl. There was always an excitement "in the air", even if I was the only one who wanted to watch. I can not explain what it is, exactly. I have watched as many of the competitions as I could during the last 3 or 4 Olympiads - Gymnastics (for as long as I can ( Read more... )

I used to be a big Olympic games watcher too though I don't think I watched very much in the last couple of Olympics. I remember in high school I did a bunch of reports and presentations about different things related to the Olympics for some of my classes.

Speed skating and ice hockey are my favorite winter sports. Track, swimming/diving, gymnastics, and soccer in summer.

I really enjoy speed skating as well.

I have never gotten into hokey. The only game I ever watched was when the Florida Panthers made it to the finals way back when. Some friends of mine wanted to watch it at a sports bar (for the ambiance) so I went with them. I think "we" won too..don't remember, but I remember having fun watching.

I just started getting into the swimming meets during the 2004 Olympics. That Micheal Phelps kid is amazing! He's apparently won like 7 gold metals and broken 5 records during this last season. I hope he doesn't burn himself out.

As for soccer, I could be excommunicated from my extended family for saying this, but I have no clue about the sport...LOL. My dad loves it, but I've never really been able to sit and watch and learn.

hey! took me a minute to figure out who you were.

I consider 8 to be lucky for me. I was born on the eighth day of the eighth month, and I weighed 8lbs, 8 oz. My birthday was 8-8-88, and will again be 08-08-08 too.

That is pretty cool. I hope you have a fantastic year!!!!

Oh, yeah - It was time for a change. A friend of mine suggested this. She was actually being a smart alec, but I like the sound of it so I took it and ran. :)
