Olympics

Diving. Definitely.

I love cliff diving and I think I'd be a natural at the platform stuff. I love jumping off high things. It used to scare the crap out of my mother when I'd tell her the things I'd get up to back home. She'd ask me to stop but I usually didn't listen. I was careful. Sort of. I mean I never got hurt too badly or killed or anything. But I couldn't help it. It's the closest I could ever get to flying and it was always a rush to take a running leap off something ridiculously high. And not only is it a lot of fun but people seem to really love the guys who dive at the Olympics. I guess it's because they're walking around half naked all the time looking really fit and nice. Plus, divers look amazing when they perform their tricks (elements? What the hell's it called when they twist and somersault etc before hitting the water?). I think I'm skinny enough to not make too much of a splash. Should count for something.
