Just a random thing I'm saying now that some alcohol's in my system: ancientpeas gave the name Beatrice to her, but I'm giving a GS name to myself. Well, kinda.
See, when I was first thinking for a username I did Chatdelune, as in French for cat of the moon. It wasn't available, so I just added an I in front. That I is English. And people shorten my username to Ichat. Which is read as 'I-sha' (I'm too tired to type the IPA). So ta-da, Aisha.
My English name is Sarah, but I can't do that since there are too many Sarahs
, so here it is. Just sayin'.

Hello Aisha!
Welcome to Golden Skate! This is weird. Because now every time I see a post from you, this is who I am going to think of:
Aisha Campbell (RW Bio; HW Bio)
Needless to say, that was the first time I came across the name "Aisha".

Six weeks later, and she's finally announced it.
And I can now confess that I lied at the end. It is somebody you all know.
Here is the announcement post:

This is the photo I was referring to in my previous post:

Incidentally, is it just me or is this seemingly funny post from the end of January a very cryptic announcement:

Don't worry, I may be a guy but I do realise that the first few months of pregnancy carry risks, and it is best to keep it private.
I was just saying that I find it amusing the things that most women do to try to disguise being pregnant during this time. Because a lot of these things have the exact opposite effect to what was intended - they make it even more obvious!
That said, there are some women who do manage to disguise it brilliantly. And that is a real art!

Ohhhhh, it was Ekaterina Bobrova! Congratulations, Ekaterina!

That should explain things. I think half of Russian women would deny they're pregnant until after the baby was born if the belly didn't make it obvious. Unless things have changed dramatically since a few decades ago, they also don't buy baby stuff until after the birth or have baby showers.
Urgh, there's a random confession for you: I really, really, really hope that no one ever invites me to a baby shower. Every strand of Russian DNA in my body will be screaming, "NOOOOOOO, YOU'RE GOING TO JINX THE BABY!"

Last Thursday I broke down crying after some devastating news, it was related to my 9 years+ of being a fan and I still hurt over it. People who've never actively been a fan of someone/something don't get how one can be so upset about people that you don't actually know in real life, I've given up trying to explain that while I might not be part of their lives, they are part of mine. Losing that part of your life, one that has been very, very dear to you, feels like losing a limb. Hell, I actually lost function of my left leg for a whole (bleep)ing week, so in a way I did. I swallowed my sobs to go to work and avoided thinking about the whole thing afterwards, am actively avoiding it still, because I couldn't afford another mental breakdown. I have had too many last year, I'm finally showing some visible progress and I want to keep it that way. And now with additional stress from my skating fan life, well, I just want to become a chair or a rock or anything that doesn't have consciousness nor feelings. I desperately don't want to regress, what the (bleep) do I do

I think watching videos on the Russian website are causing my computer to get infected with weird ads... and I have an adblocker.

Aisha, I don't know what you're referring to, but anyone would be upset to hear devastating news about someone they've been a fan of that long.
What you can do is pray, and have hope that you can get through this. And I think pretty much everyone here understands about being a fan.

Ugh... the little kids around here sure like to shriek their heads off. When I first heard it, I freaked out and might have even called the police, I can't remember. But then it kept happening. They shriek like they're being torn limb from limb, but they do it so darn often that it's gotten to the point where I just ignore it (and the palpitations it gives me).
I just pray that if someday, one of them really is in trouble, anyone will be able to tell. I don't understand why the parents don't realize how dangerous it is to let them scream like that!
...Actually, I don't understand why they even do it in the first place. My friends and I never screamed! Shouted, sure, but actual words, not what sounds like screeches of anguish or fright!

What an interesting article! Thank you so much for sharing it!!!
This is what I love about being a member of an international forum. Learning about the culture and customs of different countries.
Although, to be honest, I agree with most of them!
I'm not one for parties anyway, but if I were female, I would definitely be like you if I was invited to a baby shower.
Anyway, I just logged into Facebook, and the first thing I saw was a pregnancy announcement from another skater. But, the privacy is set to "friends", so I don't think it is for general consumption just yet (that said, it has had over 300 replies and over 1,000 "likes"
).And amongst all those replies, I spotted a comment from a third skater saying "us too!" And having a quick look through her profile, I can't find an announcement.
There must be something in the (frozen) water at the moment!

OK, so I just checked out the Instagram for the skater whose announcement I saw this morning, and it's up there publically. So, no need to worry about privacy any more.
This one is particularly exciting for us skating fans in Northern Ireland:
Jenna McCorkell and Kevin van der Perren
With Jenna and Kevin's genes, if this kid pursues figure skating, they are going to be a star! :agree:
Same really with the other set of parents I referred to. Turns out that the reason I couldn't find an announcement was that it was revealed way back on Christmas Day, when we were preoccupied with National Championships!
Stefania Berton and Rockne Brubaker
So, with Ekaterina Bobrova and Andrei Deputat, that is three sets of skaters that are going to be parents.
Congratulations to all of the parents-to-be!!!

I was just thinking about Bobrova the other day (strangely after reading Medvedeva news..because they are friends) and was wondering why isn't she around..? And wow! Happy news all around.
My confession for the day: my job today is to help man a booth for a corporate function, which usually just consist of sitting around a lot and passing flyers or info cards to people. So I thought I'd wear my cool fancy boots which look really nice (but kinda hurt if I walk too much in it), since I won't be walking much.
And as it turned out - of course I ended up having to walk around a lot because the universe doesn't give you gorgeous shoes that hurt unless you walk a mile in it
