...it is noted !

I will go to Ravenna!

If at worlds or later, it will be fascinating to watch this new skating with this philospphy. I completely agree about the survivours guilt, and I hope he will be skating free from it from now on.

Yes, I think you are right, this makes me think about motivation..Thank you!

You know, I thought he had changed. He was so happy and carefree after the Olympics, he was not kuyashii, I had the impression a weight had been lifted from his shoulders that had been there since 2012, when I first saw him compete. I donˋ t. know. I was wrong. Or not? I did not imagine it psychological possible that someone who was this happy after Olympics would want or could go into competition mode so soon, even without an injured ankle. Strange times... or it is me...who ever knows what goes on in his mind?

Re: the auction that is going on...I do not have evil thoughts about it yet. When I think about auctions here in Europe about things from celebreties, they go quite high..I am not yet shocked by the numbers. But I can be hopelessly naive..

Yes! I had not noticed.. Thank you

Hi everyone, I just got home to the beautiful blue—flower— shooting thing, and perhaps beautiful is not the right word.., and it got me thinking: he seems to be a born model, but modeling is a profession and hard to do. What else is he..greatest skater ever, did acting..perhaps it comes all together somehow.. As he thinks about his skating not merely as a sport achievement but as performances. And I remember some comment after Helsinki, how even his bows are part of the choreography. As were his bows at the Olympics: classical bow after Chopin, Japanese fighting bow after Seimei( or so it looked to me). What I mean with all this rambling: my god, what an artist! What talents! I am awestruck once again! This happpens quite often when I look at the things he does, and today is one of these evenings..my heart is sometimes so full of joy Happy greetings

I did not know. Thank you! At first I thought it is an April´s joke...but no, must be reality. What a shame..but there is strawberry shortcake. Thank you! I always learn something new here

I did not know there is a ban on poohvalanche in Beijing. Why is it? I am curious to know.

I am at my workplace now but still have to enter the building. About Nathan not bombing:“ I would have changed my layout“. How cool is this????? He deserves another gold medal just for this answer!! Gives me my cool and power for the day. Okay, will enter the workplace now...

I have to go to work now, I hope, it can be downloaded later...I like that this is a press conference with so much time for him to speak:-) Bye!

this was very moving.

Somehow expected Javi, but Jun?

So now I am watching this press thing and photo shooting after arrival: I don´t understand a word and rely on the satellites for complete translation, but I want to share my impression how utterly bizarre and lovable this is! They do an interview. Ok. They send everybody out ok. Formal bow by Yuzuru . Ok. They come back! They do some photoshooting standing. Ok. They have to get some, but not all, chairs back. Something very important is happening, but it is all very complicated. And they are sweet enough to make it available online! . Love it all, will watch now the final 5 minutes wich will be gripping, I am sure. edit: I am sorry, most of you will have seen this hours ago, but I had to write... edit nr 02: well, it gives me another impression of how much hard work the athletes have to do after competition! The first one was this long, long night directly after the medal ceremony when Yuzuru and Shoma went throught all these interviews. I almost passed out from being tired, and I had not been skating a free programme... My admiration grows, if possible. Ok, now stopping rambling.

..honestly, I do not think this to be an excuse for procrastination, but a reason for procrastination.

So, I came home from work and found 30 or so new pages and that I have to get up early tomorrow for the press conference. I somehow thought my life would be going back to normal, but no. Not yet. And I am happy. But I did not expect another emotional roller-coaster: first I was happy to see the airport scenes, happy to read the first translations then this cold feelings came up in me when I read that he expects dark times ahead. Oh no. I want him to skip Worlds to have fun and be happy and take care of his body slowly. I had imagined myself going to Milan and being happy that he takes his time and is feeling content to do rehab (because I have booked everything and I will go). And now he tells me he will be feeling terrible watching the others compete?? And then I started downloading pictures and videos and calming myself. And I try to take it with a smile. All this time I told my familiy and at work: "I am tired because of the Olympics. Had to watch something early in the morning.". Now I will have to tell them, that the Olympics are far from over! . Really, it hit me again this evening, what a mega-event this is, what a gigantic victory!! And this makes me smile again - and I am very thankful for this forum to be a place to write about my roller-coaster feelings this evening.

A new theme! I wondered if we would get one! It is beautiful! Thank you!!!!

I understand the feeling! I had to clean my room today and the whole time I had the picture in my mind of how carefully Yuzu folded his japanese flag..I tried to be a little bit less sloppy ..not much success, but ...I kind of have a role model. Perhaps this is a beginning

To me, they are both true sportsmen, in the old fashioned sense of the word..Boyang, I think of him this way as well. I will never forget how he crouched down, so that his rivals could be photographed better...2015 I think? NHK? I donˋt remember when exactly, but I remember how impressed I was.

...just got home from work — to a smiling, happy, laughing Yuzuru! Cantˋt tell you how much I love it. And I managed to arrange my life around so that I will be able to get up in the middle of the night and watch the gala life with all of you. These are so happy days!

Oh! Didnˋt know this.. I guess I want golden confetti raining on him every day! Would be impractical, ok, I just feel so happy again right now

So, this was my first day at work after this glorious event! And now I catch up on the forum and think about the reception he will get in Japan... and find myself grinning wildly and just thinking: he did it! Wow he did it! For real!! It just keeps sinking in . Me: still crazy after this weekend — will get something to eat and then watch sp and fp again. I think this will be my happy routine for some days now.
