Now that everybody's dead, we can finally talk.

INTERNET YOU ARE ALL FIRED

WHY DIDN'T ANYONE TELL ME ABOUT THE EXISTENCE OF SHANI DAVIS

Wikipedia page, NYT article. I feel like anything I have to say about why could just be inferred by reading these two things, as I literally had no idea he existed until ten minutes ago.

Because seriously. Shani motherfucking Davis.

Also, yesterday I spent... a lot of time watching videos of Irina Slutskaya, especially her 2005 Worlds free skate. I'm the latest to this, right? Everyone's seen it? But I LOVE HER I LOVE HER I LOVE HER. Also this article!

Although Slutskaya still skates several hours a day, she said nothing was driving her to compete again. She has been to three Olympics and, although she did not win the gold, she was a world champion.

“I don’t see the target,” she said. “I don’t know why I have to go there. I have almost all the titles.”

:D :D :D ♥ I love everything.
