i am developing a massive crush on jordan wieber.

[Deleted]

she seems to be really not an asshole.

and also i love gabby douglas because that smile makes me happy.

I love the Olympics mainly for the back story of the athletes.

I love Jordan Weiber! She looks exactly exaccctly like my just-graduated-from-HS neice, who's a big athlete. So I already loved her. But the whole "put the cameras in her face and see how much she cries" and her grace through it all made me love her more.

wtf is wrong with my e and i placement tonight? neice? Weiber?

[hisno1girl]

She's a Michigan girl, so I automatically love her.

Except she's Jordyn. Which emphasizes your point, because she seems to have escaped the curse of the inexplicable Y.

ha. so true.

Gabby and missy Franklin have the best smiles. So full of life those girls.

NBC is making me see red (as my h says). I hated the camera all up in their faces as they were running to the vault. It was strange.

Aly has been my favorite since the qualifiers. I think she is so pretty.

ME TOO. those things that sounds like zithers make me think it's a romanian.

I will be them someday if my kids compete. Mark my words!

I wish they would all wear less makeup. I think it's distracting. When I did gymnastics (very poorly) back in the day our coaches wouldn't let us wear makeup.

. Hahah, I mentioned this the other day, but when Lucy was on stage doing her verrrry simple routine for creative rhythm, I was backstage doing the moves and calling them out. I'm so obnoxious!
