I feel important - and I'm not - lol!:) Or maybe I am ---?

Truly weird - sports writers covering figure skating want to follow my twitter. What is this? I have no clue - I just have a crush on Stephane - and don't even get to watch the events live! LOL! And suddenly- people care about my opinion? People who publish articles about this sport? I'm just sitting on my sofa eating massive amounts of junk food wondering why I don't look like Meryl Davis! lol! My friends don't even seem to take my insight seriously. I have argue about why Rachael Flatt is deserving of a spot on the Olympic team for hours - and can't convince them because they think Ashley Wagner is more graceful. And suddenly - the press cares? And more than the Christian Science monitor...how did they even FIND me!? I don't even belong to the USFSA anymore - my skating magazine stopped coming over a year ago. Crazy talk!

I was told it's because I can break down the judging into "normal people terms." I thought that the press did a pretty good job of that without me - I mean - I've not sat down with a rule book and studied it. I'm not a technical specialist. I'm told things like "you can fall down and still win" are incredibly helpful for the public to know. That isn't exactly a novel sentence - but hey - I'm incredibly flattered to feel important in a sport where I was never important. Maybe - THIS is my career calling! LOL!

That being said - I have learned something from Stephane. In interviews (which I had to read in French because apparently to English press didn't interview him) - he said that he skating scared to make a mistake - imprisoned by fear - not wanting to fall - and feeling like the tiniest error would cost him his goals. THerefore he was tight and "lacked energy" so you couldn't see his "True sprit." I feel as though I do this in dance auditions. I'm so scared I'll forget the steps that I don't let go - which might explain why I don't do well. Technically - the elements are there - but the sparkle aint. When I SING - I kinda don't care - I just htink - well - here I am - if I'm flat I'm flat and they will have to deal for 16 whole bars. Well - this lady thinks I can belt - well - I here it is - whether it's actually belting or not - so my "true sprit" can shine through more. Just a thought.

Maybe I should make a skating blog. lol. See if I get any followers. What should I call it - suggestions? I can collect articles - and give my oh so worthy (sarcasm) opinions of the competitions and how they were judged. lol. could you imagine?

Also - I might be doing some assisting again - woohoo - Fabrizio is choreographing an off-broadway show - and needs and assistant - and he asked if it would be ok to call me. hehehe - would it be ok to call me...Fabrizio...

Much easier to act normal around him though now that my fake affections are thrown upon Stephane once more!:)
