Olympic Games!

[castalie]

Eeeeep the Opening Ceremony just began!!

And not to make this entry a one-liner because I wouldn't ever recover from the shock - does anyone know about E2??

*peeks at tv* OMG it's beautiful - boy how much do I love those never-ending opening ceremonies *happy sigh*

And don't mention how much those OG cost because it would totally spoil it - we all know how insane it is.

Between 3 and 4 milliards --billion?-- viewers? Man, it boggles the mind.

Never seen one *Bad Dana! No cookie*, so I cannot join in the squeeage.

I adore the OC's too. So colourful and uplifting. And to think that I was in greece only a couple of weeks ago. We didnt dare try to get anywhere near Athens though - it was insane over there.

It's so fantastic.

I love watching the teams, especially the little ones. They're so proud.

The little ones are cute, indeed. It's like most of them know it's likely they won't win anything, though it's never ever set in stone, but still they're so fucking happy and proud to be here - as they should be *g*

And did you see the Samoans? How interesting, men wear skirts over there.

Something else cute, it's how the atheletes are all taking pictures or filming during the parade itself *g*

OC? What does the C stand for then if it's not G for Games? Oh wait, you meant C for Ceremony? *shakes head* Sorry lol

And I have someone on my flist living in Athens and you'd better not talk about the Olympics to her because it is insane!

Wow, look at the outfits for the Pakistanese!!

Ooops it was Afghanistan, sorry *g*

[castalie.livejournal.com]

Never, really? Didn't you ever want to?

[crystalskull.livejournal.com]

I was always busy. Dunno why.

[castalie.livejournal.com]

One of those things we can't explain then *g*

And did you see the Samoans? How interesting, men wear skirts over there.

Sounds good to me ;)

I love the athletes taking pictures, and the ones using their cell phones. You can tell it's one of the proudest days of their lives, as it should be too.

But wow, some of the uniforms are, how shall I say, interesting *g*

[crystalskull.livejournal.com]

Isn't that everything with me?

[castalie.livejournal.com]

Interesting, yes that's one way of putting it lol

I was a bit disappointed with the French delegation's ones myself - at least the women costume... but the ones for Afghanistan? Beautiful!

[castalie.livejournal.com]

Kinda, you have to admit.

[castalie.livejournal.com]

And how symbolic it was too, btw... that a woman had the flag *g*

[crystalskull.livejournal.com]

Me, flaky? No! Never!

[castalie.livejournal.com]

Flaky? Who said flaky? Jack maybe but not me - nah-uh.

[crystalskull.livejournal.com]

Why are we not IMing? Confused!

I always knew Jack was saying things about me behind my back!

[castalie.livejournal.com]

Because I'm not really supposed to be on my computer right now, we have company tonight lol

And Jack is always saying things behind people's backs - what he likes best though? Saying dirty things when he's behind Daniel's back... and Daniel's writhing beneath him *eg*

Ah, sense is made!

Dammit woman! I'm at work! I don't need the drooling that mental picture provides!

*Droooooooooooooool*

[madralaoi.livejournal.com]

I saw it. :) Pretty pretty lights and Antique greek stuff!

[castalie.livejournal.com]

I really loved it - I thought the idea in itself was great and the way they actually proceeded was just beautiful! And talk about an interesting parade that was... definitely spoke to the geek I am lol

[castalie.livejournal.com]

Sorry for inducing drooling with my little image *unrepentant look*

[crystalskull.livejournal.com]

Yeah, sure you are. Riiiight.
