Whoa? They have shooting in the winter? How weird. :O

@Read: You can sinng? :D

My dad has been doing a shooting competiion. He says it's fun.

@ Royal - Yup! I love to sing. I'm a first soprano which means I sing the really high parts. Sometimes so high you can't do words, just ahh.

Hello there all! :) I'm not too fond of big threads either, may I join in here? (I feel it might be deemed impolite of me to just jump right in without asking!)

Eh, I dont like the snow too much hehe.

Sure Huffie! I like your name btw. How are you?

Shooting in winter seems rather logical, actually. Most people do their hunting in the fall and winter. And if you think of the biathalon as an exercize in deep winter hunting, it makes sense. But, again, I'm not big on guns... and quite frankly, I don't care if so-and-so from such-and-such country can hit so many targets the size of a silver dollar. >_>

yeah, that does make sense. Some people view it as self defense, others for sport and others as a source of food.

@Huffie: You sound out of breath! :D

*cough-badjoke*

You're welcome here I think~ :D

@Ele: That's cuz you live in it!

@Read: That's....so cool....I wish I could sing well~ :I

@ Royal - It took me forever to learn to sing well. If you have a voice you can sing. It's all a matter of technique and traning and practice. Lots and lots of practice. Oh, and taking care of your voice.

Hi hi, Huffie. ^_^

Ah... I'm waiting kinda impatiently for the men's ice skating short program tonight. I'm rooting for Japan's Takahashi Daisuke. *_*

Yay Ice skating! The prettiest one that I watch~

@Read: Is the training and the technique really hard? OuO

Oh thanks! :) I'm just fine thanks, and yourself?
I see mention of the biathlon here, are we talking Olympics?

Out of breath? :lol:

...

Oh my gosh, I was just about to type out a question as to what that meant, but I JUST got it! :lol: I feel so dim-witted!

@Huff: Lol~ It's okay...I get a lot of those moments too. :D

I LOVE ice skating... I wish I could do it. >_<

Last night China's Zhen and Zhao (I think I spelled those right) won gold in the pair skating. I'm so happy for them! They're really, really good.

@Sen: Aren't those the ones who are married? OuO

Not really. If you have a good teacher. Especially if you just want a good voice and not do a professional thing. Things like how to sit or stand, how to project, how to tune your ears. And for group singing how to blend. Good vowels. etc.

Ok maybe it is a lot. It just doesn't seem like that to me. I've been doing it for a long time.

Yes! Apparently very recently so, too. And they put their marriage on hold to go live in the dorms of China's athelete place so that they could try for gold. And they got it! Their short program was soooo beautiful! *_*

Oh those guys! :D Fantastic! I missed the end of the skating because it was on soooo late in my country. :( I'll have to watch it on catch-up!

I've just been watching the live womens snowboard cross qualifications~

@Sen: I think I saw them on the news. :D

@Read: LOL....Do you need some major breath to sing well too?

They weren't showing us those on the network I was watching. ._. And they've stopped showing the Olympics for now, leaving a gap for news and things. They'll come back at 8, and then I can watch the men skate. *_*

Yes and no. It's much easyer to sing if you have good lung capacity, but you can work on that to some extent. breath control is what really matters. Do you have asthma or something like it?

No, just wondering....:D

Does swimming help?

So...everyone, which one is better...snowboarding or skiing? OuO

I don't know. I'm not a swimmer, any kind of excercise is good for the lungs though.

Swimming is good to develop lung capacity and strength. o_o

Also, snowboarding. I've seen people do some awesome things on skiis, but... they still look kinda dorky 'cause they're on skiis! Snowboards look much less dorky. >_>

Also, a reminder for anyone who may be forgetting: play the event games for hearts! <3

True snowboards just look cooler. Like surf boarding vs wake boarding.
