from fort wayne, indiana, the not-at-all stupidly named, aural intensity!

Hi my old friends!  I have not left for good, I promise.  Just have to get through this NIGHTMARE trip to Alaska, and then we're all good.  So just two more full days and a wake up, and I will be coming home.  Thank you Jeebus. 

I have nothing to write, because my brain is literally just turned into mush.  I have mush brain.  A lot has happened over the last two weeks, and it's enough to even make me forget about gymnastics.  That's how much has been going down.

But never fear, Spanny F. Tampson will return, triumphant and  heralded.  Obvs.

So in lieu of anything important, you get a picture that makes me laugh.  A gigglepic.

even your breath stinks of mediocrity.

Britney effing Spears.  How come it's so awesome to montages to her music, but so horrifying to do FX routines to them?  Seriously, Bama.  Horrifying.

But never mind all that.  Here is yet another training montage.  These girls are so militant, it's awesome.  How come Ferrari is the only one to have gone into the military?  OMG, perfect movie idea.  A former world champion gymnast gets recruited into the service.  It would be like Stick It, but better.  Twists and tumbles into the terrorist's FACE.  We'll call it The Hitch-Kick Assassin. 

Just because I'm sure you'll all be oh so concerned in my absence, I'm leaving town for a week.  Road trip.  Yay.  Totally need a sarcasm font right now.  

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.
