So other than the fact that I stay up all night watching the olympics, I think I have a problem. No matter what sport or competition it is that I am watching, if the United States wins, I cry. I mean, you would think that I won the gold myself. Like I was the one who spent hours upon hours training. And then when I see the parents of these medal winners, it just gets worse!! Yet night after night, I am drawn to that TV. As though I haven't already seen thousand of hours of Michael Phelps swimming or Shawn Johnson flipping , I just can't get enough? And yet, every night, because the US is so awesome and always wins, I cry!! Is this normal? Am I a freak? WHAT IS WRONG WITH ME??

I think something's wrong

Well, I can't say whether you're Normal or not but I do know you're not alone. I haven't seen my husband cry yet but he is absolutely obsessed with the olympics, if it's not on tv then he's reading/watching on the web - and how does he manage this at work?!
I'm with you, it is killing me to get up in the morning and go to work. I have to force myself to go to bed at night, I'm afraid I will miss something great. Brendon says, look it up online, but it just isn't the same. I like when the atheletes get verklempt. It makes me realize they are human too.
i think you jinxed me lars watched the swimming online, which by the way i couldnt understand what the big hype it, but it was amazing to see the talent and then to see them be so happy at the end when they won made me start tearing up
you could have my problem.... I have not watched one second of the olympics...cuz I do not have an extra minute of time!!! (Ok I am blogging) you know what I mean though....
But I do listen to the news. Does that count?
I think you're a freak, LOL. The Olympics....BORING! This is just my personal opinion, so please nobody hate me! ;)
