amazing ball directly drop eve heading included might rang square training typical watching wins year
After a pretty amazing year that included more wins than I thought possible, I rang in 2013 by watching the Times Square ball drop on TV... and then heading directly to bed. It might not have been the typical New Year's Eve for a 21-year-old, but what can I say? It was a training night!
good score skate
I know roughly when I skate a good program where the score should end up.
million people rehearsed
I want people to see a real person on the ice. I want to seem tangible, hard-working, passionate about my skating, not just going out and doing something I've rehearsed a million times.
four killer miles
I live in California, so I do stand-up paddle board, which is a killer workout. I also run, about four miles every three days.
aware figure grew kindest people surrounded
I think growing up in skating, I was surrounded by the LGBT community, so I grew up very aware because I was around it so often, and some of the kindest people I know are gay figure skaters.
helpful lip love mascara
Covergirl is my sponsor, and they have been so helpful in supplying me with their wonderful products. I love their blush, mascara and lip gloss.
confident deliver stay time
If I train well and stay focused, I'm confident I can deliver when the time comes.
capable crazy easy figure focus holds name
In this crazy, crazy world of figure skating, it is easy to focus on a name or a target. But when you are going after someone, it really only holds you back from what you are capable of yourself.
burger diet fries
I give myself a cheat day where I annihilate my diet. I'm an all-American girl, so I go for a burger and fries and a shake.
almost aware characters dark good music side strongest
I'm not a pretty princess, and I'm aware of that, so I like music that is really intense, really bold, and characters that in a way almost have a dark side and are kind of evil because, for me, that's when I feel my strongest and fiercest, when I'm not necessarily the good girl.
art sitting
I havent mastered the art of sitting and smiling.
couple past careers
I've had so many critics over the past couple of months. I've had so many people who said I'm too old for this, I am burnt out. But, you know what, I am so hungry to make a career for myself. I was able to turn all this negativity into something positive.
age young young-age
From a young age, I was viciously competitive.
gay community lots-of-friends
For me, I have gay family members, and I have a lot of friends in the LBGT community.
