I'll be a responsible adult one of these days.

If anybody wants to volunteer to pinch-hit for apocalyptothon, now's the time. Admittedly I've been slacking on getting them out (Bad mod! *smacks hand*) but I'm going to start getting some out tomorrow.

The list of fandoms and rules is here, if anybody's interested. It's only a thousand words and the story's due to be posted on September 1st, and it's certainly not restricted to those who signed up.

Question!

If I stand up during the playing of the French national anthem and do conductor arms, does that make me a dork?

... on second thought, don't answer that.

EDIT: What the hell? Can NONE of these gymnasts nail a landing or does it just feel that way?

'Cause I was bored ...

Awesome.

Keith Olbermann responds to Rush Limbaugh's bullshit crack about Elizabeth and John Edwards.

The HELL?!

Why is it that my brother is the one who went to school for computers and yet I'm the one whose computer runs better?

*haaaates using this thing*

*pokes it with a stick*

Seen on an Olympics commercial ...

"Tonight, will Shawn Johnson become the next Mary Lou?"

... oh, hey, no pressure or anything!

What is it with me and watching German guys boytouch?

Aaaaaaaaaaand then they made out. They end.

In other news, I am on my second amaretto and coke. Here's hoping I'm still awake when the women's all-around gymnastics comes around. I have a theory that tonight we'll find out that the reason the men couldn't nail a landing if you paid them in their all-around was because they were missing something vitally important to the acrobatic process, like boobs. (Don't ask me how that works out, seriously. I still have more amaretto left. FOR NOW.)

Oh, and I also finally wrote an opening for that one novel that works for me, so YAY.

HEE.

One of the Olympics announcers called the women's gymnastics all-around "an individual medley that Michael Phelps can't do."

Yeah, but wouldn't it be funny to see him try, though? *giggles*

EDIT: Oh, man, I think the American girls just proved me right with my boobs theory on the vault landings.
