Oh there's greener pastures somewhere. But who's got the energy? The earning of the trust, the schmoozing. Eh.

Ah hells no, Laura! That original post wasn't mine. I enjoyed it though. Now his supposed friends are saying he's a thingy. AHAHAHA. I love being vindicated (and you do too, admit it).

[tabatha]

he's a thingy? what kind of thingy would that be?

[Guest]

I forgot to do the censor thing. It's supposed to say, "dick."

I admit nothing

but I do not think that is a freind..or a male actually..JMHO

[tabatha]

okay, just wondering...

[Guest]

Oh yeah, it's a chick alright. No guy would, regardless of whether this person actually knows him or not, put in so much effort.

[Guest]

I wish you would admit it! You completely feel me on my opinion of Apolo. Say it loud, say it proud.

Hello, Hall guest, and welcome.

I think that this is a fairly typical fan website. We admire Apolo's skating and achievements, and yeah, we think that he's hot. Each to his or her own taste.

I don't think that anyone here would dispute that Apolo's essentially a normal guy. I met him and I like him. I would like to get to know him better. I saw (and have heard) plenty of evidence that he's *not* a jerk, quite the contrary...but if you feel differently, feel free to share.

My experience is that sometimes people mislabel a person with an aloof personality as being "stuck up". Not everyone is gregarious.

Susie, thank you for being so diplomatic in my absence. Also good to see Ruffian and Laura make nice.

Hall guest, I can relate. I remember when my brother made the varsity football team his freshman year in high school. To me, he was just an ordinary and somewhat stuck up older brother. I had grown up with him and he was in the room just across the hall from me and I saw the good, the bad and the ugly. But after he made the team, all the girls went crazy over him. Even the seniors! I thought they were all delusional. Was I living in some sort of alternate reality were everyone saw my dorky brother as this hunky football player? Oh please! HUNKY? But all they saw was a talented athelete who was nice looking and ahead of his time.

We all have different perspectives and viewpoints and people are multi dimensional. What your parents see of you is different than what your friends see and that is different still from what your boss or professional associates see.

This is true for Apolo as well as for all the rest of us.

HI,

I found this site kind of weird, why because I live in the same hall as the guy. To me he is just one of the guys upstairs. So it all seems kind of creepy. Picture a fan site about your Friend, neighbor, or someone you know. It would be weird to see it.

See most of you have never met him but rave on and on about him. IDK I guess it is just a different perspective. To me his is a real person who is just a normal guy. Kind of self centered and stuck up because of the publicity, but who would not be. Its hard to live as someone famous and not get somewhat stuck up. So I forgive him for that. But seriously people, he is just a guy, with problems like all of us. Honestly you can find a better hero them him. I would suggest finding someone you know, who has great character. Sure his speed skating is great and all, but there is a lot more to someone then how well they can skate.

Look I am not trying to piss anyone off or knock him. Because he is an amazing speed skater, no one disputes that. He is also kind of cute, but honestly in person I don't think he is that HOT. He is kind of short for me and a lot of the pictures of him make him look cutter then he really is. What gets me tho is he is kind of a jack ass and a stuck up ass if you get to know him, not his fault, I mean I am sure this kind of fame would do it to the best of us. But I would not recommend making him your hero. This is just all my personal option based on my one on one interactions with him.

P.S. NO I will not pass messages to him. I know I would be pissed if he started passing messages to me from random people I don't know, so I will not do it to him. Thats just creepy. Imagen how you would feel!

wicked. Its fun to read this post. Ijust find him cute, in pictures, as I have never seen him myself. I go for wot I hear from people or wot I see on TV. He's not my hero. Although, he does inspire me to exercise :D In my opinion, we all fancy him becasue of wot we see in the tely, nothing more. Wot ever he is, I don't think I care to know. I like wot I see on the screen and thats it. Not really that interested in his personal life either. He is short, but then again, he is cute on photo's. so it balances it out.

Viva Darth Vader.

I know its random but, it fits well on this thread.

Bella, what a great story! It helped me to see Hall Guest's POV a little bit better.
