I've been watching snippets of Be Good Johnny Weir. And God, they hurt. A lot. The pressure is terrible. Well, there are scenes of him shopping, frolicking, basically being outrageous. But you can see how the competition, winning, is uppermost in his mind. And you caught yourself wishing hard that he would win, that he would skate well despite health issues, insecurities, stiff competition. And his failure hit you hard as well. And this is agonizing for you when you're obsessed with him.
Please, dear God, let there be DVDs. Let there be DVDs. These snippets that end much too soon kill me.
And, uh... I know I've been much too invested in Johnny Weir lately. (And before that in Vanyel, and before that Miles Vorkosigan). And if you're here because of hobbits, fanfic, C/Z, or anything other than Johnny Weir, and you're getting sick of the current trend, I hereby declare a defriending amnesty. You know, to spare you the embarrassment of a mid-thirty woman being silly over a figure skater. Because I think this feverish mania will last for some time. I mean, I already put Johnny's as yet untitled memoir on my amazon.com wish list though it was slotted for publication in November 2011. So, yes, it's going to be a while before things get back to normal, whatever that was.
I'm going to miss you. But I feel awful about imposing you with my nonsensical squeeing. *hugs all around*
