Wow, woot for them! I've never seen them skate before, I just saw the plagiarized costumes. I didn't like them much, but hey, my country can definitely use more figure skaters, so go little Czechs! ;)
I think warily_w had said, in the dream, that she would come to see him perform usually, I don't have dreams, so taking that into account I won't see him perform *giggles*
I have really strange relationship with dreams. All of my dreams (those few, which I remember in the morning) are about the events of the previous day, everything from real and i-net life. Sometimes I even like watching those dreams, but after that I feel too tired, like I have no sleep at all, like I've been awake all night and busy with everything, which was in my dreams. So I'm more happy, when I don't have any dreams, cause the next day I don't feel sleepy and exhausted :-\
As much as I love the artistry in skating, what I enjoy the most at the moment is the athleticism of it, the speed.I think, that it's very hard or even impossible to show artistry when all your thoughts is about element. So when you just begin learning everything, all fun is mainly about successful execution of the technical element. May be, we can compare our excitement about first landing

When the moment of not thinking about "OMG, I may fall on that!" comes, then you can think about smth else, besides what you legs or arms are doing right now, you can think of the whole program and music.
...that makes SO MUCH SENSE. I forgot about spirals when I was writing my comment below--when I was learning to do them, I was gleeful when I just managed to get my leg up to hip level without falling over. Now I am working on the details such as different arm positions. What I do with my arms has little to do with how technically good the spiral is, it just helps decorate it. :p But I couldn't be very concerned with my arms when I was only focused on not falling. I hope the same thing happens when jumping starts feeling as automatic as a spiral. *crosses fingers*
Your dreams sound really exhausting, poor doll! Like you have to deal with all this real world crap even when you sleep! :( Maybe you just don't remember the really dreamy dreams, though?
When the moment of not thinking about "OMG, I may fall on that!" comes, then you can think about smth else, besides what you legs or arms are doing right now, you can think of the whole program and music. Yeah, that is what I suspect, too. That's basically what I meant when I said that I'm not good enough to be graceful/expressive yet. I hope we'll get there at some point! Though I really do love to jump in general. it's just so challenging and fun and it feels great when you land those suckers and/or jump yourself into exhaustion. But maybe that is because I can't do steps intricate & fast enough to get the real kick out of it... I don't know.
I hate that "oh no, I got injured" fear. :( The last time I had it really bad was...last season, I think? I remember I did something bad to my knee and it took forever to heal completely, and I was so afraid of skating for awhile. I did stop being scared, though--I just had to keep skating despite being afraid. The fear faded eventually.
As much as I love the artistry in skating, what I enjoy the most at the moment is the athleticism of it, the speed.*NOD* I love watching other people be artistic and graceful, but I'm not really good at being graceful. XD The skater boy I know keeps trying to teach me what to do with my hands...it's kinda not working. Oops. But I LOVE skating fast and jumping hard. It feels so good. ♥ I doubt ice dancing could ever make me happy. It's pretty to watch, but it doesn't have enough death-defying-ness for me to do it. :p Deep edges...nnngh. Those are so hot. Seriously. *swoon

I hate that "oh no, I got injured" fear. :( :( I think we all do. I really hope I'll get over it once the bruise I have now heals, so that even when I fall, it won't be old hurt + new hurt, just the new bit. I'll definitely keep skating, though it's more fun without that fear scratching at the back of my mind.
It feels so good. - it does! I love jumping until I'm very exhausted, it feels perfect, and well, like I told you sometime long ago already, I love the whole flying-through-the-air-ah!I-landed-iiit part. :D
.ahaha, and this is why I always feel like a hypocrite when I complain about Joubert focusing on jumps and not a lot else. >___> Lol, I know! But then again, Joubert has been skating for >>10 years. So he should be able to do more than we can, not just jump-wise, but overall. I do love all parts of skating and I want to take ballet and become more graceful and really learn how to use my whole body on the ice to create that... that whole impression. But that takes time. So I guess it's not really hypocritical, not unless
