Olympics! Vancouver, BC, Canada
Anyone as excited as I am????? Vancouver, BC, Canada. Winter Olympics!! Very close to where I live. (Plus, I've been to Whistler... and Vancouver a bunch of times!)
I'm kinda itching to see how the USA Hockey Women's team does. Canada is all hockey... lol. Minnesota is too... so, I'm waiting to see how this turns out!
My Aunt and Uncle like Curling... meh, no. I like... Shaun White... and Apollo Ohno... figure skating...
What are you excited to watch? (I'm kinda for ski jumping... but, figure skating is all me! lol... boring, actually, but the only thing that attracts me)
(No one has started this... it has started! The Olympics affects EVERYONE! Well, almost. But there are a LOT of countries represented, don't get me wrong. Not every country, but many)

I'm excited - I love the Winter Olympics! Hopefully we'll be able to put the antenna on our little TV set to watch a least some of the events.

I find most amusement in the mascots.
Sasquatch is a mascot this year.
Yay Bigfoot.

I didn't mean I'm not interested... I just hadn't heard! I LOVE the olympics, and will probably follow (and watch) a lot of the events.Danielle Abigail Maxwell wrote:I take offense to that...American Eagle wrote:No way... I hadn't even heard!

You hadn't heard? And its on Friday? (I got the impression you were mocking me, sorry. I've gotten a lot of turn-off because I'm so excited... which makes no sense, since its the olympics...)American Eagle wrote:I didn't mean I'm not interested... I just hadn't heard!

Yeah, I can understand that. But don't worry, I'm excited too! (It's weird I hadn't heard... I listen to ESPN Radio every day! )Danielle Abigail Maxwell wrote:You hadn't heard? And its on Friday?

Heehee. A few weeks ago, I was trying to calculate when the next Winter Olympics was... Then, when I ask, lo and behold! I can't wait. (they should add a new event... Ice fishing! )
Love you always, SnC

You at least have to watch hockey - I would hate for you to miss watching Canada's glorious upcoming victories in both mens and womens hockey! That would be a real shame.Laura Ingalls wrote:I'm excited - I love the Winter Olympics! Hopefully we'll be able to put the antenna on our little TV set to watch a least some of the events.
Yayness! I love the Winter Olympics! (And I just realized that Laura said exactly the same thing...) But I do! I love watching hockey and figure skating especially, but everything is fun. The luge, bobsledding, assorted skiing events...the list goes on and on!

Oooo, good one. But I'm sorry to say, Canada's teams will most probably lose to the U.S. hockey teams. Ha!Catspaw wrote:You at least have to watch hockey - I would hate for you to miss watching Canada's glorious upcoming victories in both mens and womens hockey! That would be a real shame.
....okay, maybe not. But I can hope.

I'm not excited
this is my sig, but it is not attached by default, because I think I am too good for a signature all the time, or something. (More likely something).
I am totally not a sockpuppet of Marvin D.
I knew the Winter Olympics were coming soon, I just didn't know how soon!
Except for an hour or so of swimming that I caught in 2008, I've never watched the Olympics - winter or summer. I've never done much TV sports-watching, though I'm sure there are some Olympic sports that I would enjoy watching.

Actually, most sports related topics have usually been posted in or moved to the Harlequin.American Eagle wrote:For the record, this belongs in Finneman's Market.

My friend is going to the opening ceremony and such. I can hopefully watch some of it on TV
What really annoys me about hockey is that my brother hated Sydney Crosby was an idiot and all whiney until he was going to be on the olympic team.Catspaw wrote:You at least have to watch hockey - I would hate for you to miss watching Canada's glorious upcoming victories in both mens and womens hockey!

Olympics are cool... I enjoy watching them. Not something I get really excited about, though.
