Always Anna

For some reason, I’ve really gotten into this year’s Winter Olympics.  It’s bizarre - I’ve never been that interested in any Olympics before.  Sure, I’ve watched a few random events - other skating events in Winter, a few swimming or gymnastics events in the Summer.  But they’ve just always seemed so… well… dull.  Definitely not the kind of thing that I would actually work my schedule around.

But this year… WOW.  This year has been completely different.

I was obsessed with the women’s halfpipe (American women rocked that party!) and snowboardcross events (even though I’m still cranky at Lindsay for losing that gold by showboating).  And I’ve been raving about snowboardcross in general - what an awesome event to add!  Totally a fan.  After making fun of ice dancing, I became obsessed with Belbin and Agosto - so much fire and attitude from that pair!  And women’s figure skating… amazing.  I may not like the diva attitudes I see when I read their interviews, but I love love love their artistry and attitude on the ice.  And Emily Hughes is just the sweetest thing since cotton candy - I hope to see more of her.

Of course, now that they’re wrapping up the events, I look forward to the return of my regularly scheduled programming.  But I think I’ll be watching the Olympics again.
