The Olympics are officially taking over my life. Screw them for placing the swimming finals in the morning, though. They're always on when I'm about to leave for Uni and I've skipped it about twice to catch these finals. China is going nuts with the Gold Medals, and Australia is in fifth place. If only Eamon Sullivan had gotten that gold in the ( Read more... )

LOL Stephanie Rice is awesome. 3 gold medals.
Y'know, 5 out of the 5 gold medals we have so far are all from swimming. It's just a LITTLE embarrassing in a way. But track and field events have started and I suspect medals will be hoarded in by the US.

She's crazy fast -- so is Trickett ! Or however you spell her name :(
& Ah, that's all good. My dad was saying somebody was talking to him about how Australia has the most number of medals per cubic feet, while China has the least.
And I laughed really hard, but thought of you because you're like the only Australian I know !

Besides. Most of South Korea's medals have been coming from archery. Like, what the hell T__T How random !
THAT, and swimming is one of the most fun events anyway :)

Aahahahaha, track and field .__.; Who knows, who knows ! I didn't really watch the previous Olympic games so :x I wouldn't know ? T_T I regret not watching but sdklnvalkjehewor.

Wow, this is such a random reply.

Everytime I see Australia, though, I think of you. And swimming. :)

LOVE THAT ICONNNN!

Haha aww.
But you know, I feel kind of crap cause in my short lifetime the Olympics have been in my two home cities - Sydney and Beijing.
And when it was in Sydney I was what, 11? And I didn't care a single bit for it. AND I FEEL SO DDDD: If only! I could've, I could've.... T^T Gah.
And now it's in Beijing and I can't go. But that's not TOO bad cause Beijing is just too crowded. There's no point trying to get a ticket to anything. xD

I only cared for the Olympics starting Athens. But really, it's so great. And excitinggg.

HOPING FOR A WIN FROM EAMON SULLIVAN IN THE 50m freestyleeee!!
But still, the US + swimming = awesomeness too.

:D Thank you ! I lovvvvvvvvve that picture, like. <2

& I KNOW, RIGHT ? When it was during Athens I was twelve years old. I didn't care ! T_T Which makes me sad. Like, I started caring about things starting high school. World Cup, Olympics.
Seriously ? Daaaang, that's right ! Well that's okay, all the times the Olympics have been in either Korea or America, I wasn't born yet so :x ! STILL MAKES ME SAD. T___T;
I want to go to the London for 2012 sdkjflhaeskjr / I hope 2016 is in Chicago !

Dude, what the hell, Sullivan is really fast too. Freaking world record people, maaaaaan.
US + swimming = osm only in men's.
The Australian women are just bullets in the water. T^T

London is the first place I would like to go if I go traveling. I just.. I don't know, it's just so appealing to me. Then I want to go to NYC.

Ah, I know, isn't it frustrating? T_T;; And I actually went to one of the events and I was bored out of my mind. I was kind of just sitting there looks at the dead moths around in the stadium cause there were so many. O_O;;

I thought Sullivan would've gotten the gold for the 100m cause he broke the WR twice during the heats/semis but noooo. D: And you could tell he was so disappointed.

And I didn't even know any of the Aus women swimmers except for Leisel Jones cause she's awesome. Now I know a bunch and I never knew we were so good? LOL. butphelpsbeatsall.
but you know what? i just miss ian thorpe so much. i loved him sososososo much.

:) Well if you ever come to the states, let me knowwww. Because hopefully I'll be able to go to college on the East coast ;0; AND THEN COME BACK TO MY BELOVED LOS ANGELES <2

D: Really ?! sdklhkjehr I probably would've been superrrrrr bored too. Ahahaha back then, sports + me = borrrrrrrrrrrred beyond belief.

Aw aw T_T_T_T_T; They're all so crazy fast, man.

LAWL it's okay I didn't know any swimmers until this Olympics, ahahaha however sad that is. & Phelps beats all only because his physical anatomy is freaking insane up the yin yang.
Aw, Ian Thorpe ! ;0; If I remember correctlyyyyyyyy he was super good at freestyle ?

Yuh! He always challenged Phelps. Well, Hoogy, too, but yeah.

Cause LOL it was the marathon final. And yeah so the athletes weren't even in the stadium a good chunk of it LOL. I think Japan won that event. xD

AND GOOOOOOSH SULLIVAN JUST MISSED OUT ON ANOTHER GOLD IN THE 50M FREE. HE DIDN'T EVEN GET A MEDAL. RAWR. D: He's def. not swimming his best, but I'm so proud.

AND THAT 100M BUTTERFLY. HOW ON EARTH DID PHELPS TOUCH BEFORE THAT OTHER SWIMMER. *bows down*

I got sooooo damn excited and like I almost cried liekjsljvhnflkjsherj I was so stoked. I thought Cavic was going to win ( But I'm kind of glad he didn't because he was a sore loser about it :x ) and sdjkflhlkajer omggg <22222222222222222 Phelps.

& Omg I would have totally diedddd for that. Especially if the athletes weren't even there for most of the time.

I'd be so tired after the first one, man. I would have been like " uh ... yeah i'm done. " ;0;

He's so crazy. & Even though my sister still says he's on steroids, the fact that he's not ! It's pure talent and hardwork. Gah, he's such an inspiration ... with an amazing body.
