skating fan, general fan girl. From Ireland not Helsinki. It’s a long story.
English husband just saw me looking at the general election count and asked “Why is it still on?” I did not launch into an explanation of PR-STV transfers and I don’t think he’s giving me enough credit for that.

Life is short. Write that novel. Paint that painting. Try new recipes. Learn black magic. Go into the forest at night. Summon a demon. Earn that demon's trust. Become best friends with it. Brag to everyone else about your new cool demon best friend. Knit that sweater.

Go to a country for training where its own athletes are banned due to war, miss two years of doping tests, come back and get all your rotations forgiven. 🤷♀️

Oh for the love of jaysus… those mistakes from Kasuke… it’s such a gorgeous program when he doesn’t do that, and even when he does. But nineteen points behind Kevin on tech… yikes

“Lay My Body Down” does not sound like a good piece of music for skating. Almost like tempting fate. And then Samoilov lands a 4lutz and makes a liar of me. Then doubles a sal. And pops an axel badly. Men, amirite? #FinlandiaTrophy

I'm finding the emerging term 'men' as a verb in the context of #figureSkating (usage example below) absolutely charming.
(translation: 'skated chaotically, mostly by falling on jumps, such that final results are a complete toss-up, irrespective of initial rankings')
