I can't watch figure skating anymore; it makes me cry because I am a failed figure skater. I worked briefly with Lisa Spitz (Mark's cousin and a damn good skater herself). I used to meet skating celebs when I was taking lessons etc. My cousin was a great skater, but her eye problems forced her out of the sport. It's a real black spot on my life. I loved my mom, but I wish to God she never paid for those fucking lessons. I was so severely pigeon toed as a child that I had to go to NYC to have special skates made for me. Don't even ask me about ballet; it was a nightmare. That's why I took up English show jumping; you ride pigeon toed. Of course the money ran out and I had to give up the one sport I was meant to pursue. Yeah, I'm a bitter bitch, what can I tell you. I'm on the rag today; forgive me.
I guess Scott Hamilton is just not up on Asian pop culture.
Knowing me, I'll wind up watching the fucking skating anyway. I like to punish myself.
