So apparently I sometimes cry while watch the Olympics...
I learned this little fun fact this evening while watching the men's short-track speed skating and women's mogul skiing finals with my Ma and Pa. I can't really explain why it was but the tension and emotion present in both of those events was so overpowering that I couldn't stop tears from welling up in my eyes. I think it is a mixture of the overwhelming joy expressed by the winners and the crushing defeat-ridden faces of those who came so close to medaling, but were forced to gather their dignity and congratulate the athletes that bested them.
In order to make up for this unbridled display of emotion I am going to have to go do something really manly. Maybe I'll go jump off of something high, or do a bunch of pull-ups ... either way, I'm going to be in for a long two weeks of Olympics. I'd better get the Kleenex ready...
hahahahahahahaha oh my gosh.
