So that's it.

[the_milky_way]

Mike really made it. It is kind of wow, may you think about it what you want. I don't really know..
I have never seen him cry during a victory ceremony, this was actually the first time I really saw him cry.
Jason and Aaron laughing their asses off was awesome to see as well.
Thorpey kissing Mike's mother though was... kind of dirty (yes blue_ant, I totally agree with you there.

The relay was closer than I had expected, which was good. I feel sorry for Brendan because that really wasn't a good race.
I was actually rooting for Roman and Kosuke.
Yay Russia for the European Record there.

Mike and Aaron after Jason touched the wall kind of reestablished why I had them as one of my OTPs all those years ago.
Boys, it's nice you can't keep the touching and hitting down but dude, that was almost like pda.. :)

Sheep was sick. Made 5th though. Oh Larsen. But hey, a 400 free medal.
I so didn't expect Ous to win. I really didn't. Ous pointing at Larsen during the medal ceremony was cute (USC boys).
Erik being in the stands and cheering for Larsen was even cuter.
I had to switch channels in between because I couldn't stand the things one of the commentators was rambling about.
He wasn't even stating things as his opinion but as facts, implying things that really hadn't anything to do with the race going on.
*sighs*

Hehe Britta! She was so cute with Dara and Cate during the victory ceremony.

So that's it. It feels strange to know that some, or well almost all of my favourite swimmers will not be there anymore at major competitions.
There are only a few left that I like and that I want to watch.
After 8 years of watching meets, being at meets, watching Olympics and seeing how they grew and what they managed, it's really weird to know that I'll maybe not being doing that anymore in the future.
I am still hoping for the World Cup to be well attended and maybe for Aaron to be at the Worlds in Rome. But I don't know.

Bed now.

Gah, I forgot to give you the DVD I recorded for you. :( Just found it lying on top of the DVD player. Sorry! Remind me next time?

[the_milky_way]

But I forgot to ask for it as well, so not your fault.. ;)
And yeah okay if I remember I'll remind you.
I am pretty sure it won't vanish in the next weeks. :D

[annapeace.livejournal.com]

Yeah. Like, it's nice for him, really.

Ian Thorpe...kissed Mike's mom? I saw him in the stands with the whole ensemble, but really? Uh. Weird. You'd think he'd have been with the Aussies. :P

I hope Aaron goes to Rome as well. It'd be nice for him and Markus to bow out together (because they are *my* OTP and I'm greedy!).

[the_milky_way]

Yes, I have never seen him that emotional.

Uhm yes Ian did. I have evidence right here. :D

Oh and Aaron said in an interview that him and Ryan will have more races in the future so I guess he will go on a little while longer. Will see how long.
:)
I am sorry your OTP didn't do much this time. Mine were surprisingly present. :D

[annapeace.livejournal.com]

That is...so wrong. And it hurts. Why is Ian sitting with Mike's mom? *cries* Thanks for ruining my dream of you and Pieter, Ian Thorpe. You bastard. ;P

[the_milky_way]

*laughs*
I am sorry, I didn't want to ruin your day... LOL
our commentators where talking aboiut how Ian was congratulating Mike's mom and they switched right to that picture.

And awww yes... Pieter was so cute and shy this time during interviews.
*sighs* i wonder if they met up at all (him and Thorpey that is).

[annapeace.livejournal.com]

It's okay. I've worked it out in my head! See, Ian had said Mike probably couldn't do it, so of course he'd have to be right there to eat his words. And he did, graciously. Nothing more. *firm*

Pieter.....he probably just needs some time to compose himself before he can face the press. I hope they did. I refuse to believe he and Ian are no longer friends.

[the_milky_way]

Yes, makes sense in a way.. :)
It's just like Ian to be there and accept it.
LOL :P

Yeah, he was all nice to our reporter and thanked Germany for the support. Shy smiles and all. *sighs*

Yes, me, too. I hope they still talk and meet up.

[blue_ant]

they could always have a threesome!

[the_milky_way]

DUDE!!!!! OMG.

I need bleach now!

[blue_ant]

Hee. I know, sorry. But it was the first thing I thought of!

[the_milky_way]

Now I am scared of your brain. Uhm...

[blue_ant]

Hahahaha. I am scared of it too ... why are you surprised!? ;) <33

[the_milky_way]

Good question. I really shouldn't be :P

<33333

[blue_ant]

HA. I am a freak, what can I say?

[the_milky_way]

Welcome to the club :P

[blue_ant]

Hahaha. At least we're not alone.

[the_milky_way]

Onviously not.. no :P

Club cards.. do we need those?

[blue_ant]

We ... might, yes. :D

[the_milky_way]

LOL.... I'll think about something.

[blue_ant]

Heeeeeee. Okay.

Thorpey kissing Mike's mother though was... kind of dirty

*imagines all the 'Who's your daddy' jokes one could make to Mike about this*

[the_milky_way]

Thank you! As if it isn't enough that we are already discussing bad mental images here...
*sighs*

I was kinda squicked while capping it.. :O

[slippery-fish.livejournal.com]

I didn't watch it and there are no reruns because of track/field. :(

[the_milky_way]

:(

I have it all taped, if you want it that is. Just small pieces not a whole dvd or something.

As for Thorpey.. ->Caps

[slippery-fish.livejournal.com]

Already saw the caps, but thanks. Looks very ... interesting.

I probably won't care about seeing it by tomorrow. :D

[the_milky_way]

Uhm, yes.. interesting. Urgh...

LOL, yes, thought so. :D
I did tape Mike crying and crying in the interview.. Never know if I'll ever watch it again.

[missanee.livejournal.com]

Oh, Mikey ♥
He's amazing, I admire him a lot.

Gaaah, too bad swimming's over now :/

[the_milky_way]

Yeah, too bad it is over. But now I can sleep again.. LOL
