[degrassi]

What a hockey game!!!!!!:blueribbon:

GO CANADA GO!!!!!

I"m sad the olympics are over but canada did awesome! We broke the most gold medal record!!!!

 

[Pipp]

Nickelback, Alanis Morissette, Hedley and a bunch of others are performing at the closing ceremonies. (I forget who else).

Joannie's carrying the flag.

And then I guess we're done.

Been a slice.

I live a block and a half from Robson street, aka action central. This should be interesting.


sas :Canada small:

 

[Pipp]

LOL!! The closing ceremonies just started and it's HILARIOUS!!! :roflmao:

 

[Nela]

I LOVED how that started! Lmao! I love how we have a sense of humor and I feel our Canadian values were really represented in these games. :inlove:I'm very happy to have watched these games!

 

[Pipp]

I'm crushed. They just put the flame on the cauldron out and I missed it. I never saw it. It was only 10 blocks away. Meant to go today after the game. But I'm still sitting in front of the computer.


:bawl:

 

[Nela]

:shock:You silly goose! Ah well There must have been a tooooooooon of people though!

 

[degrassi]

OMG that closing ceremony concert was the worst ever! Horrible choice of bands/singers and ever worse song choices! Thankfully the dancing Mounties and flying moose made up for it, lol. Whoever organized the music should be fired! There is way better Canadian musicians to choose from then Simple plan and Hedley.

I'm definitely looking forward to Sochi now. It seems they invented new sports for it like Space Ice Bowling and Ballet Snowboarding! Looks interesting

The cauldron will be lit again for the Paraolympics, so you will still get a chance to see it SAS! Way less lines too!

I took lots of cool pictures from my time working for the Olypmics. Ryan is going through them for me, and when we have some good ones sorted out, I'll upload them to share.

I'm hoping to work the Paraolympics too. The supervisors want me back and are holding off on schedules until they can get me into the system.

Well I could see it off in the distance whenever I walked up Robson (looking down Thurlow), it was just five blocks away.

Just really had better things to do than the stuff I was stuck doing!

sas :grumpy:

 

[MyBabyBunnies]

See Sas, procrastinating has it's merits! LOL.

My 16 year old cousin is competing in the Paralympics, we're so happy for him!

 

[NorthernAutumn]

What sport is your cousin competing in?
Do you know if there will be some news coverage that we can watch?

I missed the first bit of the closing ceremonies... gonna have to find that somewhere on line... Michael Buble was absolutely fantastic!
