Heeey, what's up. It's only 10 a.m. over here and I feel so cranky already! I am mostly cheering myself up by thinking about how awesome Asada Mao is. She competed at the 2008 Worlds without a coach, you guys. And then she won! Is that not amazing! She is pretty awesome.

Additional pet peeve:

-- I dislike it when people refer to East Asian skaters by "given name, family name". That is not how it goes! I always twitch when I see mentions of "Yu-Na Kim", although weirdly enough I always catch myself calling Mao "Mao Asada" in my head. This is when I >:( at myself again.

But here are some things that makes me happy:

-- Mao is the South Koreans' favourite Japanese celebrity. Yu-Na is the Japanese' favourite Korean celebrity. :D!

-- They are BFFs. THERE CAN BE NO HATESEX WITH THEM. EVER. (Um, that came out a little cranky.)

-- Mao's pretty.

when i was watching the olympics, they made a point of saying that since she had been training in North America she preferred to go by given name, surname and so that's why they were calling her that. So it could be her choice?

Oh, I see! Thanks for telling me. :)
