my personality, though exciting and full of personality, isn't exactly low-maintenance.

I finished this one a few days ago, and just haven't gotten around to posting it.

 

I've been pumping the videos out, you see, because I've had an extraordinary amount of free time on my hands.  But that all changes tomorrow.  Why, you ask??  Because the NEW SIMS comes out!!!  Priorities people. 

Anywho, the video was another goofy one.  I absolutely LOVED Weird Al back in the day.  Like, I didn't even know the real songs, I just knew the Al versions (Amish Paradise anyone?)  I also did a class project with my BFF in 6th grade to "The White Stuff."  We brought Oreos and everything.  We got A's, obvs.

Yes, since Pav's been gone, things have kind of gone to crap.  Regardless of her success (or lack thereof) Anna was one of the most beautiful gymnasts of the past decade.  She reminds me of why I love to watch gym.

I am totally rooting for her ultimate comeback, because in her absence, everyone else looks like crap.

i sound like someone put tap shoes on a horse and shot it.

I have a very short attention span.

I wanted to do a montage that I could finish relatively quickly.  I figured it was also a good time to goof around with some random effects that I'm no good at.  Plus, Pac Rim had some super cute fluff footage.  By the way, this song is stuck in my head at ALL TIMES.

Now it shall be stuck in yours.

what is your problem? it's just a moist towelette!

Can we talk about this?

What the crap??  This really frosts my cookies.  Do you have zero reflexes?  Are you trying to avoid getting another Euros-like deduction?  Or are you just being a big dumb douche?  WHY ARE YOU PRETENDING YOU'RE JESUS?? 

After she falls, he stands like that for another, oh, I'd say ten seconds.  He doesn't budge.  Then he grabs her, and props her back on her hurt leg.

This is all so wrong.  Injuries suck in general.  But getting injured while your coach is being an asshat must suck an extra amount. 

you look terrible. i look awesome.

I'm a little late for WTF WEDNESDAY.  My bad.  I wish I could say it was because I was busy, or had something really mega important to do.  That was not the case.  I'm just lazy.

This is just a random mishmash of wtfs.  For whatever reason, Youtube is getting off on not recommending me anything gym related.  It's like, geez, can't a girl watch one video on Greyson Chance or Westboro "Baptist" Church (rage stroke) without getting four billion recommendations regarding those two topics?  Yeeshk.

So here we are.

 
I love Yang Bo.  I watch literally billions of videos of her every day.  Did I want to mow people down with a tank when she fell off beam every time?  Yes I did.  So I get that.

I don't know what a shuttlecock is.  Don't really care.  I just like the word.  Shuttlecock.

I should have checked into which exact video from the 1996 Olympics they were referring to with the Love me CHOU CHOU creepy baby toy.  I can only assume something Romanian.  (Get it???  CHOO CHOO.  I'm so funny.)

Perhaps it is that same video that led us to the Magic Bowl Potty Training clip.  1996 Olympics = potty training?  Not so much.  Sydney, yes.  Atlanta, no.

so you like show tunes. it doesn't mean you're gay. it just means you're awful.

Anna Li saw my UCLA montage.

Anna Li liked my UCLA montage.


WOGA also had my Hollie Vise montage on their website for a hot minute, but then they replaced it with a similar one done by that iLitter guy who actually knows what he's doing.  So screw you iLitter guy.  Just kidding.  I secretly love him. 

Still feel pretty cool though.  That is all.

at least i don't have to listen to his stupid theories on how super mario brothers changed civilization.

And yet, another montage.

Maybe I need a break or something.  I'm just not feeling so motivated.  I keep starting them, and then scrapping them.  And what I do finish, I'm not thrilled with.  Like this one.  I like it an appropriate amount, but... meh.  I'm just no good with slower videos.  But it's like, what, am I just NOT going to make a montage to the Glee version of "Dream On"?  As if. 

Whatever.  Here it is.

It's just sort of a mishmash of people who have been/are in the running for the next few years.  I'm generally not a huge fan of videos with long, drawn out clips of routines we've all seen a billion times, but I ended up using them anyway.  It was also hard to find videos that matched the intensity of the song, you know?  The most exciting thing I could find was Nastia winning, and while that was thrilling and all, it was almost two years ago.  In the words of Eddie Murphy/Janet Jackson:

 "What have you done for me lately?"

I want something new, something thrilling.  I waited for the NBC Pac Rim coverage, but then I remembered that nothing exciting happened there either.  So what's a girl with no life to do?

More Glee montages.  Probably.

you can't feed a child sheet music. i suppose you could, but they'd be dead in a month.

The hair.

THE HAIR. 

I know I picked on mostly NCAA girls last time, but rest assured, the problem does not solely lay within the collegiate ranks.  It transcends borders.

Case in point:

Nicole Hibbert.

I'm not going to lie.  I teared up a little bit while watching the team final for this year's Euros.  GB was so excited, the commentators were so excited, I was excited.  It was one of the first exciting team finals in a long time, and they absolutely deserved their placement.

But this...

THIS!

I'm a Jew, I have a lot of hair.  So the difficulties involving thick buns are not lost on me (hint: LOTS of pins and scalp pain.) 

It's not the Parkette's cornrows.  They're tacky, but whatever, they work.  They keep hair out of the face, and that is always good.  What kills me is the mile-high bun on top of the head.  Aside from turning a very pretty girl (Hibbert is gorgeous, for the record) into one of my pre-makeover gymnastics barbies, doesn't it also, like, eff with her aerodynamics?  It's like if I tried to vault while wearing one of Lady Gaga's top hats on my head.

It would be significantly harder, I would think.

And that's all I have to say about that.
