(no subject)
So Evan Lysacek was recently a horrific douche on twitter. This did not shock me because I already thought of him as being a douche in real life.* Now thankfully I can point to this clear cut incident as opposed to just shrugging vaguely and saying I ended up more Team Plushenko. Anyway, it upset quite a few people, though, and got some deservedly negative press.
Thankfully, this post is not about Evan. It's about OTHER figure skaters with blogs/twitters and how they bring me joy.
Jeremy Ten
Above all others his twitter makes me wish we could be best friends. ;__;
- Left my phone at home today! Felt like a part of me was missing. Never again. *hugs phone*
....sh....sh....sh....it's ok. Daddys home....it's ok....shhhh.... *caressing phone*
- *holding onto a plank of wood* Personal trainer: "Haha, Jeremy's got wood!" *everyone in the gym laughs*......real mature.....
- New hire:"What size is P0?" Me:"Well, 0 is like XS and P0 is even smaller so it's like b*tch needs to eat a sandwich small."
-And he wore this 80's insanity during some sort of theme day at his rink.
Adam Rippon
Adam Rippon looks like this:
Or like sunshine distilled in human form with a twist of tragic, Grecian youth
I'm pretty sure Adam would be rightfully insulted by how stinking adorable I think he is. Because frankly, I put him in the same categories as like puppies and two year olds. I mean, who else would say something like this?:
- Sitting at the airport waiting to board my flight to Japan!:) I've been looking forward to this trip for so long! I can't wait any longer!!
-Well the short brings you to the part in Romeo & Juliet where all the drama is beginning. The program ends mere seconds before Romeo kills himself! I really mean mere seconds. If my short program was 2 seconds longer than the maximum time limit of 2 minutes and 50 seconds, I would be dead! I couldn't do that because I have to skate the long ;).
-I just replaced 4 light bulbs in my apartment. Now I see the light!! Literally!!!
But despite infantilizing him, I've decided I want to pair him with someone years older:
Jeffrey Buttle
Or like someone took a smile and gave it human form with a dash of Extra Canadian
Jeff looks like he'd be such a good little figure skater who never rocked the boat. But...
- He's surprisingly sharp humored: So weird, it smells like there's a horse on the streetcar yet I don't see one. #RareInvisibleHorse
- He does Mad Men Cosplay when bored (click for picture): Eat your heart out Don Draper! Result of being bored on a Monday night. And then tweets this: I'm fresh out of cantaloupes and lack the s(ass) to pull off a Joan photo. Settled for Don.
- He watches High School Musical and Twilight and reads Hemingway. All in one night.
- Flirts at wee, impressionable Adam Rippon: @Adaripp See you tonight. Maybe dinner if you get in at a reasonable hour?
In short. SHIP IT
And finally, Paris Childers does not skate. But he's still AMAZING.
- I woke up with a satanic grin on my face this morning
- There's nothing better than tequila in the morning.....well....Maybe being skinny.*
- Leaving the Jersey shore with @Dingle_Shawty is a bitch. We've heard California Girls like 37 times already.
*For more on my thoughts on Evan and Paris being a skinny bitch (in multiple senses of the word) see here.
