She said yes!!!

Baseball player Tjerk Smeets (N.B. ja de zoon van Mart) asked golden Hockey girl Minke Smabers to marry him during the Closing Ceremony :)

Definitely a night they'll remember forever!

Gacked from pints:




Hee! Erniieeee. And someone Famous....

Hmm this is the only HP icon I've left to choose from. I really should get into icon-making again, all of my HP icons are outdated!

I forgot to mention before; I has a new layout!

Wall-E <333333333

+ a Pixar moodtheme, yay!

Contemplating changing my profile as well. It's kinda 2 years old already.

.... BLOODY HELL I MISSED MY LJ'S 7TH BIRTHDAY. I blame the Olympics!

Seven years. Woah.

The Olympics are over again :(

Hallo there, blackhole. *woes*

Then again, the US Open starts tomorrow and teh footie is back and it's only two more months before the Speedskating season starts!! *bounces* So cannot wait.

Anyway, from a Dutch perspective there were some bitter pills to swallow, but we also had plenty of reasons to celebrate :)

7 Gold, 5 Silver, 4 Bronze. 12th in the overall Medal Table.

I couldn't be more proud! Again our tiny country did very well in between all of those massive nations. Fantastic achievement by our athletes. *applauds*

London 2012 shall be a blast. Loved the little presentation they did. WHOLE LOTTA LOVE. GJLFJFLADJALDJAL. Jimmy Page still got what it takes. Amusing to see all of the Chinese spectators flail over Becks' 5 second cameo appearance xD

Vancouver 2010 first though. IZ IT TIEM NAO Y/Y??!?!

LOL. LOL.

Of course the Prince of Orange is there to give the hockey girls their medals. That special bond started way back in Atlanta, when he partied a bit too much with the girls of that generation xD

Willem-Alexander, you sly fox! Three kisses reserved for each girl, of course.

FINALLY. HOCKEY GOLD! CHINA BEATEN AT HOME. WINNAR.

ILU GIRLS. YOU ALREADY WERE THE BEST OF THE WORLD AND NOW YOU'VE PROVEN IT.

*DANCES*

Pieter's Running Commentary, because I lolled so much and still lol even after having seen/heard this about 30 times yesterday. It starts at 1.50, before that he's still "normal" and then at 5:12 he goes absolutely bonkers xD

Pieter, don't ever change <3333

Way to go with the anti-climax of the day, hockey gents. *glares* What an awful match. Eurgh. I feel so sad for Taeke Taekema, he was the revelation of the tournament but misses the final penalty :(

Oh well, aside from Maarten van der Weijden, it's the girls that do it for us during these Olympics!!

OH MY FUCKING GOD.

WE BEAT THE USA IN THE WATERPOLO FINAAAAAAL.

GOLDEN GIRLS I LUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU <33333333333333333

TWO GOLD MEDALS IN ONE DAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY.

GOLD #5!! 10KM OPEN WATER MARATHON FOR MEN.

Unexpected, but very pleasant :D

Especially when you consider that Maarten van der Weijden was diagnosed with a form of bone marrow cancer in 2001, had to go through 4 chemo's and a bone marrow transplant, but he beat the cancer completely and now he's won olympic gold. He's our Lance Armstrong :) Nothing but respect.

Plus he'll go down in history of being the first man to win this new Olympic distance :)

ETA:



Hee ♥

LMAO PIETER'S RUNNING COMMENTARY ABSOLUTELY KILLS.

Line up: Stekelenburg; Heitinga, Ooijer, Mathijsen, Van Bronckhorst; Van Bommel, De Jong; Van Persie, Van der Vaart, Robben; Huntelaar

I miss my Ruud and Edwin :'(

Pieter van den Hoogenband beseft nu pas dat hij veel mensen de afgelopen jaren van zijn zwemprestaties heeft laten genieten. "Ik kreeg na mijn 100 meter allemaal smsjes van mensen die in hun pyjama voor de televisie hadden meegeleefd. Zelfs Ruud van Nistelrooij was voor mij opgestaan."

GJALDGJALFJAFAL!!!!!1111

WHEN FANDOMS SPORTS COLLIDE. MY RUUD GOT OUT OF BED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT TO WATCH MY PIETER'S FINAL RACE AND THEN SENT HIM A TEXT MESSAGE AFTERWARDS. I DIE.

DRESSAGE GOLD. AGAIN.

ANKY VAN GRUNSVEN YOU ARE A TRUE AMAZONE!!!

THREE TIMES IN A ROW. SYDNEY. ATHENS. BEIJING. HELL YEAH.

AND THE GERMANS WERE BEATEN AGAIN. EXTRA WIN.

EPKE FELL.

Whoop, we have our first surprise result of these Olympics:

OUR WATERPOLO GIRLS HAVE MADE IT TO THE FINAL MEANING WE'LL WIN EITHER GOLD OR SILVER.

Amazing match against Hungary, though I still don't get what's a foul and what's not xD

So that's it then. ALL of my faves from before the start of the Olympics have failed in their missions.

My Pieter, My Theo and my Volleyball Boys Richard&Reinder.

Le sigh.

At least we've got our Golden Girls in the Rowing, Swimming and Cycling!

REVANCHE BITCHES.

YAY MARIANNE VOS, ME LOVELY I KNEW YOU HAD IT IN YOU.

GOOOOOOOOOOOOLD.

YOU WAIT, YOU'LL BE A LEGEND LIKE LEONTIEN VAN MOORSEL WAS/IS.

AND HOPEFULLY THIS IS THE END OF THE TRACK CYCLING CURSE THAT WAS UPON US SINCE MANCHESTER.

Oh well, at least our start's somewhat better than last season's. We scored one xD

Really cannot be bothered about it though. *shrugs*

But I do wish we'd stop losing people to injuries!!!

SECOND GOLD MEDAL IS A FACT. IN ROWING YAAAAAAAAY. VAN EUPEN & VAN DER KOLK :D:D:D:D

THAT WAS SO AMAZING. THEY STARTED SLOW ON PURPOSE AND THEN WENT PAST EVERYONE IN THE LAST KM.

FIRST GOLDEN MEDAL IN THE HISTORY OF DUTCH FEMALE ROWING.

YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY.

Oh my god, what is it with our cycling team?!?!

Below par performances (Theo I am looking at you), freak accidents (coach run over), unnecessary disqualifications (Teun Mulder).

Niki Terpstra broke BOTH his arms this morning in an accident on the road, whilst trying to get to the track!!

WHAT THE FUCK.
