well I guess it makes sense for US people to learn Spanish, especially if you live in the South

I’m going to be clear about this one, never refer to my beloved California as the South. Broader state is what call ourselves. The South means something else in the US.

There's no clear reason for it, but I always like the Scandinavian teams and athletes :NOR :SWE :FIN :DEN  (maybe because of my dog has Danish roots ... a Great Dane). 

I definitely not cheer for :BEL , despite Belgium is our neighbour.

California is called a 'broader state' because of all the fatsos or what?

It’s called that because my stupid, fat, fucking hands can’t type on this tiny ass keyboard.

It’s worth noting that one of my thumbs is super messed up. Essentially my “friend” bent my thumb back so far in the wrong direction that he tore both sides of the ligament in my thumb. Luckily, We have a very good surgeon in town, and he did a wonderful job on the surgery. However, I never recovered to normal usage of that thumb because I didn’t do enough to help it heal properly. It functions at near 100%, but it’s still pretty delicate. I also now enjoy thumb arthritis at only 18, so I’m looking forward to many more years of that. So sometimes when I make mistakes it’s because the thumb isn’t always working the way I need it to, but hey 19 days of daily blogs should a great thumb workout routine :d

China (ever since I discovered their glorious badminton team 10+ years ago)

Russia (forgot when I started cheering for them

Serbia (or maybe just Novak and the other Serbian tennis players, i'm not sure)

When the Dutch aren't there I tend to cheer for Italy, France and, when they're competing, Senegal. They are all countries I have great memories in from vacations and internships abroad. I have fond memories of the people I met and the experiences I have had there.
