Vexillology: the study of flags

[rotae]

*appropriate subject is appropriate* XDDDD

Thoughts about the Opening Ceremony 2008:

PREEEEEEEEEEEETY LIGHTING... :O WOW!

Little girl suspended from the roof in a pink dress? Uhm, yeah. We kinda did that already >.> LOL.

Did anyone else see the giant globe with swirly water patterns and people on it and go: "IT'S THE WATERBENDERS!!!!!!!!!"? No? Just me? LOLOL. Okay.

Why do all the western countries look like they're all airline stewards? Srsly. SO UNORIGINAL. And then you get all the African countries looking FABULOUS and it makes me want our flag bearer to come out in Aboriginal get-up. LOLOL.

WHY DO WE HAVE TO WAIT SO LONG FOR THE AUSTRALIAN TEAM?!?! We're THIRD LAST. Sort your freaking alphabet out, China. It starts with an A. LOLOL XDDDDDDDDD

Yay for Iraq getting a big round of applause :D

OH. And watching the news tonight, with Kevin07 going around China and talking flat out Mandarin with the locals was so EPICLY COOL. LOLOL. He had to do politiciany things earlier on, but instead of going high profile he went on the streets and spoke to the locals in Mandarin. AH. Go Kevin you awesome thing you :D

I'm conflicted re: George W. Bush's statements btw. I think that if you're going to be all proclaimy (and actually DO NOTHING) specifically because the spotlight is on China for something completely different, you probably shouldn't go and then use their hospitality and be all, "OH HAI. I KINDA HATE YOU BUT YAY FREE OLYMPICS". If you're gonna try and make a stance against human rights violations in China via the Olympics... DON'T GO TO THE OLYMPICS. LOLOL.

BRB. Gotta see other nation's fashions :D ALSO. I think I'm going to enter the fan art contest at H_E if I can find a scanner that works. I have an AWESOME idea :D

EDIT: KEVIN WORE HIS YELLOW HUFFLEPUFF TIE S:DFKJS:DLF:SLKFJ:LSKJFLS :D XDDDD /lameness

Peace,
Rotae

Absolutely. If I haven't seen it yet and would like to avoid knowing what happens therein before I am able to see it, I view that as a spoiler. I didn't read it because I don't want to be spoiled, but it's really only fair to those of us who won't be able to see it until the next day (thanks to lovely US broadcasting) to not have to read anything specific about the events before we can see them.

Well, I wrote it, and believe me, there's nothing there that I would consider spoilery. LOL. Just blabbing on about how the western countries look like air stewards and a political rant about Dubbya, LOL.

I'll cut the sentence that COULD be a spoiler, LOL.

Peace,
Rotae
