Hi! Since we only just became friends, I think I should fill this out. So you know who you’re dealing with . ;)

~. What's your name? Lucie, but most people call me Lucy
!. How old are you? 22
@. Girl, boy, other? I’m a girl.
#. Where do you live? Well. This is complicated. I’m originally from the Czech Republic. I currently live in Germany (have been living here since 1999). But, in about two weeks, I’m moving to Moscow, Russia, for four-five months.
$. What's your history of being a fan? How long, what got you interested, and so forth? I used to watch figure skating when I was a little girl. Back then, I mostly loved the ladies and pairs. Then we moved to Germany and Germany is definitely not the perfect place to live in terms of figure skating coverage... So I neglected my love for skating, until in 2006, shortly before the Olympics, a LJ friend of mine persuaded me to watch the men. (She lured me in with the slash! I actually thought men’s figure skating was lame.) And so I watched the men. And wow, I loved it - so much power and strength and speed... Also, about a day before the SP at the Olympics, I browsed the internet for the list of competitors, so that I wouldn’t be completely uninformed and clueless. I saw Johnny Weir’s profile on the NBC website and immediately got interested, because you know, he was this fabulous gay kid in designer sunglasses and I found him hilarious. Then I actually saw him skate and I was hooked.
%. Which skaters do you love best? Johnny Weir ♥ Nobody quite compares to him, but I also like Stéphane, Daisuke, Ryo Shibata, Tomas Verner. Oh and Aliona Savchenko/Robin Szolkowy. Plus I have a thing for little Caroline Zhang’s wicked spins.
^. ...anyone you just can't stand? Not really. Though Evan Lysacek’s arm flailing and wonky 3A annoy the hell out of me (especially if he gets completely unrealistic scores for those). I’m not a fan of Brian Joubert, either. I mean he looks like a soccer player more than a figure skater. ;) Also, the last time I watched ladies, Julia Sebestyen was kinda hideous.
&. Do you ship, write fic, or create art? If so, please include a link. Yeah baby! I ship (mainly slut Mr Weir around to about anyone) and write: all my stories are in my memories
*. Are you a skater? If so, for how long? What made you want to start? I think I first learned how to skate when I was like 4, but it was not figure skating. Then, between ages 15 and 20, I only skated very rarely. Then in fall 2006 a friend showed me some very basic figure skating elements (crossovers, three turns). I've been skating regularly (once or twice a week) since this fall. What made me want to start? Well, what made me return to the ice after all these years was my rekindled love for figure skating. And then I completely fell in love with it.
+. What's your favourite element, whether you do it yourself or just watch? My favorite element to watch is Johnny Weir's triple axel and step sequences in general. Oh and the Biellmann spin! I'm a sucker for the Biellmann! My favorite element to do, out of the few I can actually do properly, would probably be back crossovers. :)
=. If possible, link your favourite program videos. I'm gonna skip this one for now.
`. What are your other fandoms? Harry Potter (though I'm not very active anymore), Hanson, Heroes (my most recent obsession). I've dabbled into a row of other fandoms as well.

I think you rock and I can't wait to read at least some of your stories. (Also, seems like we come from the same country. xD) Friends?

Oh yay! *friends you*
