I feel torn because there are friends who are boycotting these Olympics because of the very real and sad state of gay rights in Russia, but there is the old desire to see them, because it's the Olympics! Well, and aside from the fact that I don't have a t.v. any more which almost makes the question moot. But there's stuff on the internet that I could watch. And I'm sad to miss the ice skating, because that was one of my favorite things to watch.

I'm also a fan of hockey. This is just funny because of how awkward I am on the ice. I never took lessons as a kid so can't do it. And I am not a graceful person. If you want someone to twist her knees, fall on her face - literally - and not stand upright on ice skates, I'm your girl.
