Torino, Italy :: Febuary 10-26, 2006

If there's something on your mind that just doesn't seem to fall into any of the other categories, well, it quite likely belongs inside Joe Finneman's marketplace. Think of it as a general store for general discussions!

I know! I hope we get the most medals! \:D/ The great thing about the Olympics is that you don't really have to wait for four years. 2 years after the Summer Olympics, are the Winter Olympics! And vice versa! \:D/

Yay! I love the winter Olympics! \:D/ I won't be able to watch them as much as I have in past years, unfortunately. :( But I'll still try to keep an eye on hockey and figure skating and whatever else I can! \:D/

Go Canada! Yay! \:D/

You said it, Top! \:D/ Aside from curling, I'll definitely be watching hockey... and, perhaps, some speed skating. :-k

Oh, you got that right! I'm so excited! I can't decide if I want Jeff Buttle, or Emmanuel Sandhu to win. (For men's singles.)

I won't be watching, but if I did, it would be figure skating, because I would love to do something like that. \:D/ \:D/

I actually have a friend back in California whom I knew back when I was about 8-9 years old - his name was Princeton. (Yes, that's a name, folks! ;)) He loved figure skating, and went on to win a national championship for juniors back in 2004!! (I believe it was that year. :D) Unfortunately, he didn't do as well this year...:(...I was hoping he'd make it to the Olympics!!

Hahaha, no...that's actually "Izzie," who played a role in EB's movie "The Greatest Movie Ever Told." :D I thought that part was so hilarious...so I screen-captured it and turned it into an avvy.

It's highly probable that neither of them will, so don't stress over it too much. ;) But personally, I would go with Jeffrey Buttle. I know it's childish, but I really liked Elvis Stoyko, and in the Nationals, Emmanuel Sandhu was usually his main competitor, so I've never really liked him. Besides, he normally bombs on one of his programs, or at least he used to. :(

Yay! I like Michelle Kwan too!!! \:D/ I hope she wins the gold - I think she deserves it. She is really a great skater.

I'm hoping my aunt will record some of the Olympics for me so I can see them later. :)

The only thing that I think may hinder her is the new judging system, which is more technical than the former one.
