I'll stand my ground, oh stand my ground!

Today I went swimming for the second time in two days - oh my god, you guys, my arms, they ache. Also, swimming is awesome! Before this I hadn't gone in the longest time ever and now I just really want to travel back in time (say, five days, or five months would be cool too) and grab myself by the shoulders and go but why not?! Because swimming is awesome, oh man.

In other news of things that are awesome, YOU GUYS, let us discuss Rachael Flatt. I was lukewarm towards her for the longest time ever (partly because she and Mirai tend to get set up as opposites a lot, and I am nothing if not partisan), but then I got linked, via this wonderful fic, to this video --

( video! )

and oh man I am so charmed. It is the cheesiest thing on earth! And yet! Now I want a million stories about her and her highlighter and goofy hijinks with the rest of her team. Oh MAN. COME TALK TO ME ABOUT RACHAEL FLATT, PEOPLE.

Also, Brandon Mroz is one good-lookin' dude.

Or maybe the postscript to this should be: still can't stop listening to In The End.
