Misery Business

Evan has dragged me along on a fantasy football draft party (?) with his buds. I don't mind since I leave in a couple of days, but they are all sitting around on their laptops talking football and picking players for their teams, and I'm listening to music and watching the Closing Ceremonies on mute. More bad news: The Olympics are over. I am so sad, I've loved having them on almost all day every day the last couple weeks. Go USA Gymnastics! Michael Phelps is a beautiful man! Even the trampoline was wonderful. One world, one dream my friends.

I had a dream once. To go to the Olympics when I was sixteen for gymnastics. As you can see, I have failed miserably, growing about six inches too tall and I'm sorry but my bum will never look good in a leotard. Well, I'm out to contemplate how pathetic my life is compared to the thirteen year old Chinese gold medalists and Michael Phelps' seven world records, not to mention Dara Torres fifth Olympic appearance despite the birth of her child between these games and the last.
