How very iconic is this!?!

The energy at these torch events is amazing… it’s just like, pure.  The Olympic Torch officially “symbolizes the principles of peace, brotherhood and friendship” and yup, I’ll attest to that.

I chatted with 2 of the Torchbearers; there are 12,000 in total to get it around the country.  

That’s Steve on the left, he carried it up on stage.  Neither of them said they were nervous. I’d have been… I’d probably get too excited, spaz out and accidently burn something down.

Thanks for inviting me tonight, Shawn.

Learn more about the Torch here.

This afternoon I recieved instructions to go to The Drake to pick up an Xmas present OMG, and thank you S :)

First push it to the side.

How about with my hat?  This is important.

Now the biggest test of all: can I still make my beloved ponytail?  Is it all up there?

Ohhh snap. 

How cool is _this_?!  And did you know it’s the longest torch run ever in the history of the world?  45,000km.

Each torch carrier is given the option to buy theirs for $371.  I think it’s sad some are selling theirs on eBay. That and people protested the thing, what?!  How you can find something negative in the Torch must take serious energy.

I took Greg with me; we met downtown and he gave me an excellent t-shirt he’d made which I’ll show you tomorrow.  Then over to Nathan Phillips Square.

I hadn’t been home since the morning so ya, I was the dickhead with sunglasses on her head during the nighttime.

We got up right against the barrier to the red carpet it ran down, this was my view up front with the kids (pays to be little sometimes).

Then I was interviewed by Global TV about it all.

That’s a screenshot from their site.

They came out of nowhere, shone a light in my face and asked how the torch made me feel.  Only reason I know it was for Global was because I eye raped the cameraman after looking for a name tag.  

I heard the footage was aired at 11:30pm last night and have some calls in to see if I can get a copy to put here.

How I described what I wanted to Brennen: everything the exact same length, like a Playmobil person.

Here’s how much was cut off, 5 inches:

I saved that.  Might mail it to someone.
