i just saw this video and almost sharted myself….this. is. GOLDDDDDD:

i’ve been waiting for the right moment to talk about my 12~ years as a figure skater and i suppose now is the right time. i have friends i have known for almost my entire life who actually never knew i was an ice sk8er but it’s one of those things that is hard to bring up unless you’re like “oh, i have practice” or whatever. now, i am not very athletic (although back in high school, i used to kill it in gym glass. i was competitive, but not annoying competitive), but figure skating came incredibly naturally to me and for whatever reason, i was actually….good…..at it (not deliberately trying to brag, promise). i never got super competitive, mostly ISI kind of stuff, but before i stopped my junior year, i was “training” for the usfsa. i also kind of dabbled in synchronized skating. toward the end of high school, it just became too time consuming for me to continue, not to mention it is EXPENSIVE. skates can cost the upwards of $900, not to mention the outfits, which pretty much need to bought every time you are in a competition. i guess you could use the same ones, but a lot of the time you skate in the same circuit as a lot of girls and you don’t want redundancy! anyways, i can’t wait til’ the olympics when everyone falls in love with winter sports all over again, and then a year later they forget.

oh, and brendan, i cant hear this song without thinking of your video! dont ever change~
