Well. I am *not* a skater in any sense (ice or roller), so I merrily skimmed through the ramble and must give you a hearty pat on the back, and a "Well done!" for sticking with it and fixing the bad habits.

And hey: the people who are gymnysts and figure skaters are a different breed from us normal folk. They have genes that make them all bendy, and completely unreal senses of balance, and all kinds of stuff that make them ungodly good.

Besides. Can Kimmie Meissner write thousands-of-words long epics about Nerdanel and Feanor? I doubt it. :) We all have our talents.
