Figure skating fandom still makes me laugh like a drain. Oh my god Johnny Weir. Oh my god everyone.

HE IS COMPETING WITH EVAN TO BE THE MOST EMBARRASSING SKATER ON EARTH.

Not going to lie, I woke up and checked my flist and spent FIFTEEN MINUTES laughing silently at what transpired while I was sleeping. LOLOLOL.

HE IS GOING TO WIN SO MANY GRAMMY AWARDS, OKAY.

I AWAIT THE INEVITABLY HILARIOUS MUSIC VIDEO WITH OPEN ARMS.

No seriously, I think it could be charming! It will be embarrassing, and obviously not REALLY GREAT, but... still! Still!

[aurora]

MUSIC VIDEOS. AND SUMMER CONCERT TOUR. AND INEVITABLY, AN AMA PERFORMANCE THAT WOULD BE A WORTHY SUCCESSOR FOR ADAM LAMBERT.

I do admit I'm somewhat curious. And majorly braced-to-experience-second-hand-embarrassment.

Oh my god Johnny Weir in a tour van. Ahahahahahaha.

Yes! That's precisely it goes -- I didn't enjoy some parts of BGJW so much until I came back and watched a second time, fully primed embarrassment-wise -- so why should anything else he does be different, you know?

If he did a duet with Adam Lambert or Lady Gaga he would probably COMBUST.

Heee! I'm now imagining him in one of those hippie VWs.

Good strategy! I still have to do a rewatch, but I definitely think it'll be easier this time around.

Johnny Weir feat. Adam Lambert -- 'Skating and Crying'. IT WOULD BE AN INSTANT HIT. And then they can both open for Lady Gaga.

I would laugh my ass off, and then have the song on repeat for a week at LEAST. Oh my god. :DDD

OBVIOUSLY!! It would probably grow to love it entirely sans irony.

That is what figure skating fandom DOES. You're just in for the funny soundbites and the glitter and the oh-lol-Evan-Lysacek, and then suddenly you're actually EMOTIONALLY INVESTED in them and everything, and omg Johnny Weir ;________________; be happy, okay? I just want you to be HAPPY.

OMG YES. Never in a million years would I have thought that I would worry about Evan Lysacek's sleep deprivation issues. Or Johnny Weir's upcoming musical career.

[extemporally.livejournal.com]

Or even Joubert! He wants to attempt a quintuple jump! What is this fuckery. Please don't kill yourself, BJou. ;_______________; Why do I care so much about this?

[aurora]

....I kinda want to see this quintumple jump though!!

[extemporally.livejournal.com]

Me too! It's still crazy to think about, though.

[aurora]

It's still crazy to think about, though.
Totally! This would add a whole new dimension to the Quad War. :D

Evan!! Please sleep!! (No, that's really all I have to contribute to this conversation.)

[extemporally.livejournal.com]

IT'S A VALID CONTRIBUTION. Oh Evan. :(

[nova33.livejournal.com]

I'M GLAD YOU THINK SO. I seriously am so invested, it's ridiculous. I actually checked _skating before I went to watch the hockey game, as soon as we got home. WHAT IS THIS?

[aurora]

I am thisclose to trying out sleep spells on him. SLEEP, DUDE.

[melonsplash.livejournal.com]

This exactly. I'm glad you said it because I was still trying to find the words for this.

And quintuple jump? O.O

[extemporally.livejournal.com]

"What will come next? I think there always will be skaters with great talent who will push the limits. Brian for example firmly believes that one day he’ll try a quintuple." source

It's crazy! But I'd love to see it happen.

[extemporally.livejournal.com]

precisely *how it goes, ugh. Self, stop leaving out words in yr enthusiasm to reply to comments!

[go-gentle.livejournal.com]

I saw the link on my flist, read the article, and then spent five minutes unable to form words to leave a comment. It was pretty much the digital version of standing there with your mouth hanging open.

[extemporally.livejournal.com]

I checked my flist, made a moaning noise, and started laughing like a drain when forochel was up. There are worse ways to start my day, tbh. BRING IT ON JOHNNY WEIR.

[extemporally.livejournal.com]

... and once again, I leave out essential words in my comments! when forochel asked what was up, I mean.

[forochel.livejournal.com]

I can't even read the article, I'm dying from pre-emptive secondhand embarrassment already.

[extemporally.livejournal.com]

There is NO POINT in getting embarrassed about a fandom with Johnny Weir in it. I am sorry for your emotional reflexes. :(

[jocondite.livejournal.com]

I can't even deal with him.

[extemporally.livejournal.com]

No one ever knows what to do with Johnny Weir. You are not alone!

[provetheworst.livejournal.com]

how do drains laugh?

[extemporally.livejournal.com]

silently and slowly, but still profoundly!

[melonsplash.livejournal.com]

This was exactly what I meant to ask. And do they, unlurkster? I didn't know that!

[wethepainted.livejournal.com]

"Ahaha, what?" is all the more often a fitting reaction to figure skating related things. :D

[extemporally.livejournal.com]

I wish I could do that! I'm too far gone, I think, mostly my reactions consist of !!! and 'lololol' and lots of hearts. I AM SO NOT THE MOST ARTICULATE PERSON EVER, asdfjkgflgj.

[gertruded.livejournal.com]

i'm still giggling over the mere fact that it exists tbh!

[extemporally.livejournal.com]

You should come join us. *crooks finger enticingly*

[nova33.livejournal.com]

Wait, what'd I miss? (Geez, you go away for one day...)

[extemporally.livejournal.com]

THIS.

*waits for reaction*

[nova33.livejournal.com]

.............

[extemporally.livejournal.com]

I am laughing loud and long at your icon. :D

[nova33.livejournal.com]

I felt it summed things up nicely.
