Dear Flist:

[changeling]

Please stop obsessing about Ian Thorpe. We all know (you think) he's hot. It's bad enough hearing about him all the time from our media outside of the Olympics. It was entertaining at first but is now getting repetitive. Please, please stop.

Yours,
D.

P.S. Australia rocks. We kick your arses at medals per capita. Don't make us come over there and swim at you.

One of my friends was saying today how she thinks he's kinda greasy and yuck

[purelush.livejournal.com]

I love your icon!

[doubtful-salmon.livejournal.com]

Have I told you how much I love you?

[barrington.livejournal.com]

I can't decided if it's funny or horrifying that when I first read this letter, I thought it started "Dear Fist".

If it helps, I'm not a Thorpedophile. And yes, I just coined the greatest name ever given to any group of fans ever.

[darketherdream.livejournal.com]

Yeah, Thorpe's great, I guess but I'd rather watch diving. Wee! Jumping off boards.

[delirieuse.livejournal.com]

*snerks* That's so wrong. All of it.

[delirieuse.livejournal.com]

Not lately. :D

[delirieuse.livejournal.com]

Heh, I'm not much of a one for watching sport, I'm afraid. Though diving would be entertaining.

Love your icon. What's the source of the image?

[delirieuse.livejournal.com]

I don't mind him. And if he is gay, it'd be kinda nice to have that sort of person present as an (inter)national celebrity. But, I am sick of the hype.

Plus, I don't usually swing that way. So the eye-candy excuse counts for nothing.

[delirieuse.livejournal.com]

Hee! I don't mind much. And believe me, you're not the only one. You were one of the earlier screaming Thorpe fangirls, I believe. ;)

[darketherdream.livejournal.com]

It's the monkey one right? I got it from here.

Ah, I love history...

[celeloriel.livejournal.com]

If you swam at me, I'd get out of the pool. :)

I haven't even watched the Olympics this year. I can't really bring myself to care. There's also the fact that I have no television...

[delirieuse.livejournal.com]

That is classic.

[delirieuse.livejournal.com]

*nods* I have only had the Olympics inflicted on me by others. I live in happy ignorance of what's going on.

[buhfly.livejournal.com]

Is he the really tall guy?

[bekscilla.livejournal.com]

If he is gay, I'd far prefer he let it be known, stand up for gay rights, sooomething. You know?

And if he's not, he's in enough of a position now that he should anyway :P

[delirieuse.livejournal.com]

Unlikely. Besides, he's only 21. I reckon that if I was in his place, I'd wait until *after* I'd finished competing professionally, and come out then. Wouldn't want your teammates to go all weird on you, or the international press to hound you.

[delirieuse.livejournal.com]

Probably. He's a swimmer. Just broke Australia's record for most Olympic medals. And he's 21. Has a long, almost horsey face. http://plaza.rakuten.co.jp/img/user/05/32/3210532/67.jpg

Apparently designs jewellery. Gayer than the gayest thing ever.

[buhfly.livejournal.com]

Yes, him. I think he's hot purely because of his body. *superficial* He's got a swimmer's body and that, by definition, is snarflicious.

[darketherdream.livejournal.com]

Wonderful, no?!

I made other icons, I couldn't resist...you're welcome to any and all, really...

[delirieuse.livejournal.com]

I used to be a swimmer, you know. *leers*

[buhfly.livejournal.com]

Bwah! *chomps* A swimmer biscuit? Did not you fall apart in water? *hides*

[delirieuse.livejournal.com]

Not. A. Biscuit! *glares*

(I have still yet to see this damn biscuit of DOOM you have in the US, y'know. Or taste, come to that.)

[buhfly.livejournal.com]

KFC biscuits are t3h yummeh. But I've discovered recently, Popeye's biscuits are even better.

Are you a Popeye's biscuit?

[delirieuse.livejournal.com]

Um... no?

[buhfly.livejournal.com]

You are so! *gobbles*

[delirieuse.livejournal.com]

*RUNS* NOOOO!! Those are my thinky crumbs!

[buhfly.livejournal.com]

*leaves your thinky and proofready and posty bits* MWAHA! *nibbles*

[delirieuse.livejournal.com]

But... but... *sad*

[buhfly.livejournal.com]

*cuddles your biscuitness*

[purelush.livejournal.com]

danke! i didn't make it; but i do have v. good taste :)

[purelush.livejournal.com]

thank you. he's probably gay though. most men who i lust after are. i mean he has his own underwear line.

anyways, i can simply cross my fingers and dream (and wish) that he is bi (like me!) and then we can match :)

sincerely,

screaming thorpe fangirl

[bekscilla.livejournal.com]

They're soooo almost scones it's not funny. with gravy. Americans are strange.

[delirieuse.livejournal.com]

They are.

I'm tempted to find a recipe and make some to try for myself.

[delirieuse.livejournal.com]

Aw! *leaves crumbs on your shirt*

[bekscilla.livejournal.com]

I'm 95% sure the american foods shop has mix for them.

[delirieuse.livejournal.com]

I'm afraid of that place. Last time I went I spent $50 on lollies. Also, I have no simoleons right now. Maybe after I start at Targé.

[bekscilla.livejournal.com]

Yeah, sounds like a very good reason not to be going there.

[buhfly.livejournal.com]

Heeheehee. *sneaks some butter and honey near you*

[delirieuse.livejournal.com]

They are cool but very wrong. ;D

[darketherdream.livejournal.com]

I know, I know! It's a sort of sick fascination...
