I'm pretty sure you wouldn't have anyone volunteering to be your partner after this post, so add that to another reason you couldn't participate.<br /><br />I couldn't do it because the competition is rigged. From what I hear about what our commentators were saying, Australia was robbed in the figure skating.. and.. pretty much every other event. We deserve to win them but the judges just don't let us.ScoManhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01257077420839039136noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1440208514649455088.post-61806739122617390072010-02-16T19:57:55.353-06:002010-02-16T19:57:55.353-06:00Hahahha, too funny.

Plus I am not even that good at ice skating. I then decided I would be an ice dancer. This was all in the period of time when the winter olympics were on and I was about 8. I think I really just liked the idea of falling in love with my skating partner. I didn't realize at that age he would probably be gay.courtneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00368060921177803100noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1440208514649455088.post-62745806803033003872010-02-16T17:16:57.127-06:002010-02-16T17:16:57.127-06:00I knew I loved you with good reason.

I don't want to ice skate with a dude unless he's dressed in hockey gear or plain clothes.<br /><br />Pair this with the fact that I really don't like figure skating unless it's singles - and it pretty much sums up why I won't watch it or compete ever.
