Whoa. Don't think I ever actually expected to be in the same country as a Winter Olympics. At least, not while they were going on. I've been to Innsbruck, Austria, before, but obviously not while the games were there because I wasn't exactly born yet. It's kind of brilliant being here near all the natives (locals?) who are getting into the games because of national pride. It sort of makes me want to go home for the summer games in 2012. Only 895 days to go.
But for now, we focus on those sports I'm even worse at. Skiing, skating, and bobsledding. Not that I've ever tried bobsledding, but I imagine it's a lot like those flume rides at adventure parks and really, that can't be good for anyone. I don't think we ever have to worry about me representing my mother land so instead, I'll just leave it at, GO UK!
That's it. I need to unpack the Wii and buy the Mario and Sonic Olympic Winter Games game. I'm desperate here.

I'm babbling about the Olympics when the party of my life is tomorrow? I mean, I've been to parties before, but not usually with quite this level of pressure. Come on, I'm bound to turn into a giant prat when drunk and God only knows what sort of lame idiot move I'll pull then. And here I think she genuinely likes me and then what? She sees me be a major arse and walks away? Especially if I'm there as her date which oh sweet lord I am.
I have a date. Me. I mean, we've gone out before but this is like, seriously public. Am I supposed to act differently? Since she's hosting it and all? Do I stay and help them clean up? And what if... Oh, hell. Shouldn't even be thinking about that. But it IS Valentine's Day. Or, well, will be if we're later than midnight and I imagine it would be. And then... Would that be romantic? Or just arseish? What's that saying? Something about the third date? Well...technically it would be.
Ugh. It's times like this I wish Stephen were around. Someone to ask questions and get advice from. Even when he thought it was stupid he backed me up and gave me hints when I needed them. Just a phone call is all it would take and yet... I can't ever do that again.
Looks like I'm on my own tomorrow. Great.
