Top 10 Reasons I stay up late to watch the Olympics/ Why I won't pick up my cell phone for the next 2 weeks

10. Because Kobe and LeBron are not only on the same court at the same time, but on the same TEAM. Mmm-mm.
9. Team USA Women's Gymnastics: Can we please have another '96 Atlanta Games Kerri Strug moment?
8. REVISION 8/13/08: 41 year old Hot-Mama Dara Torres! How could I forget?? (She hasn't swam yet, give me a break.) I REALLY want her to win. I think she's just phenomenal.
7. Beach Volleyball--- Beautiful bodies x 2 + intense game = loads and loads of jollity and merriment.
6. Bob Costas' voice.
5. My aunt and cousin are from China, so I get to root for Team China too (but only when they aren't going against USA, of course).
4. Synchronized swimming--Tawnie, one of my best friends, and I used to make up our own Oympic-winning synchronized swimming routines in my pool (Summer '96 ONLY, I swear.)
3. I'm a brazen-faced, unashamed, non-flustered Phelps Phanatic. I can't help it. I love the best. He's a legend. LOVE him. Little Mikey deserves all the attention and glorification he gets, so BACK OFF.
2. Men's. Swimming. Team. USA. I'll sacrifice sleep for my boys. That's right, MY boys. Not yours. MINE. (mine, mine, mine, mine.)
1. Moments of pure euphoria, bliss, and ecstasy when the gold medal comes down to the last few seconds and Team USA, whatever sport, clinches it (like last night when our Men's 4x100 relay team beat France at the last second by 8 hundredths of a second and they were talking trash before the game and we beat them... I am still riding off that high!)

Can you really name any better reasons?? I dare you.

Watch this, and die happy.
