SPORTS
I like sports. It's just the kind of girl I am. I'll warm you- I watch sports "like a girl" sometimes. That means squeeing over the players and noticing ridicuous things, like how Andre Agassi walks like a teddy bear or how Alexander Ovechkin needs to shave his unibrow. Get over it. Sports dictate a huge part of my life, because it's something I can follow and have fun with, but have no part in the outcome, which take the stress away. I play sports too, kind of an intelligent jock girl.
HOCKEY
I guess this is my obsession that's most obvious, just because the season lasts so long and there are so many games. I was born and raised a Pittsburgh Penguins fan, and I personally believe that pretty soon we'll win the Cup again. I also like to think that the Cup will come to Pittsburgh and not Kansas City or some other crap place. Being a Penguins fan, I adore Sidney Crosby and will defend him to the death. My other favorite players on the Pens are Marc-Andre Fleury, Noah Welch, Maxime Talbot, Erik Christensen, Colby Armstrong, Ryan Malone, Evgeni Malkin (hopefully!), and most of the team. I've got a real soft spot for the Bruins, especially Patrice Bergeron and Zdeno Chara. I cheered for the Sabres and the Canes during the Cup, so I've started to like both of those teams more than I should, especially the Canes. I've also got an obsession with the entire Staal family, even if Marc is a Ranger.
FIGURE SKATING
My biggest obsession, when it comes to how long I've been crazy following it. I started watching figure skating when I was a little girl, because every little girl watched Tara Lipinski win gold. A few years ago, I was flipping through when I caught a skater named Johnny Weir. He's still one of my absolute favorites, even if he is a silly silly diva at times. Plus, he's got amazing hair, and he still looks good in women's clothing! My favorite skater, though, is Evan Lysacek who I do believe I'm destined for, heh! But seriously, he's amazing and has done so much in the past two years (without throwing fits like my other skater). I don't watch pairs, because it irritates me, and I don't really follow women's skating, but I do love ice dancing! Tanith Belbin and Ben Agusto are the best ice dance team out there (with the exception of the Russians, but whatever) and they're just so much fun. Plus, I want to be Tanith.
