where do i begin

okay, so iàm having the best time here. yesterday i got a ride up into the mountains and met emma and matija for the mens parrallel snowboaring slalom finals. it was the most amazing day and we had great nike seats. what ive seen here and whats so awesome is all the fans from around the world who love their athletes more than anything. at the snowboarding the slovenians were going off singing songs and chanting and holding flags, they were amzing. then there was me with my cowbell, oh yes, i have a cowbell that i got at the snowbaording venue, and my u.s.a. shirt and iàm the only one representing for our american snowboarder. the night before at the speed skating, the dutch, dressed all in orange, had a 10 piece band complete with tuba players and a few tromboners, played national songs and these people were filled with so much pride. i guess speed skating is like their national sport and the entire stadium was filled with the ornage dressed dutch. we sat behind team chad, chad hendricks friends and family who was supposed to take the gold that night, but instead got the bronze and some italian guy skated like crazy to the delight of the hometown fans and won the gold. my friend outfitted me in the official olympic teams uniform so when i walk around people ask to take pictures of me. today in sesstrierre where i partied way to much with my friend tina last night whos 30th birthday is today i was walking around with emma and mat and this cute italian who could barely speak english asked to take a picture of us. he took 2, very funny. when i feel better, ill tell you all about my make out session wiht paolo, my italian boyfriend who i met at the disco techque where bode miller was drinking as well! i didnt get a chance to make out with bode yet, but im getting so close. im also going to his event on saturday, so maybe i can kiss him there. i did get kissed on the cheek by a croatian cross country skier and touched tongues with guys from the german ice hockey team. last night was very insane. tina for some reason took off her shirt and so did the croatian and she was standing in the middle of the disco in just her bra and the croatian with his shirt off, he has amazing abs, i touched them dont worry pictures to follow when i get home... its all documented.
