Know what helps fight Olympics withdrawal? TENNIS OMG. I've been watching the U.S. Open on and off for the first time in my life. I know of a few names (Federer, Roddick, Nadal, Williams sisters), but that's about it. Trying to figure out how scoring worked gave me a mondo headache (SERIOUSLY WTF, TENNIS, STOP BEING DIFFICULT), but I think I've got

It always bored me before, but I think that was mostly my getting impatient with not knowing how the scoring worked. Now I'm on-board and loving eeet. :D

Seriously, yo. I fangirl every time I see a new mention of him or whatever, but then I feel guilty aldkjfa, cos, wow, let the guy get some sleep. :P

The most important thing to know about tennis scoring is that break points are v.v. important and that having your serve broken (meaning the other player wins the game that you were serving) is bad. Players have to win a set by two games, so getting the break means you're in the position to win the set.

I could talk about tennis all day, but I'll spare you. Oh, and you might enjoy my book if you haven't read it. :D

Okay, I can totally see how that'd be a big deal now, especially having seen how some players have these wicked fast serves that win points without the other guy even getting to like, hit the ball. O.O (Is that what they call an ace?)

Don't stop on my account! I so want to read your tennis posts now that I kindasortaalittlebit know what you're talking about now. ;D OMG BOOBS TENNIS BOOK. My kingdom for a credit card. ♥♥♥♥

Aww, ILU2! What can we say? We have most awesome taste. ;D

Phelps adsfalj. He takes me to my happy place. Oh, oh! I was just reading that he's using that bonus million dollars from Speedo to start his own charity for youth swimming. “Now, my goals reach beyond the pool, to helping others realize their dreams, and continuing to grow the sport I love so much,” Phelps said in a statement. HOW MUCH DO I LOVE HIM. MP: Thinking of the children. :X

dang, he's such a sweetheart! you heard of him giving an interview to a 12-year-old girl? During one stop there was this huge crowd of journalists all looking for an interview, but I only had time for one - so I gave it to a 12 year old girl with a mic who was doing her first interview ever. She scooped all the pros!
