Favorites Friday: Moments From the London 2012 Closing Ceremony

I sort of missed the boat on this one, guys. The one year anniversary of the London 2012 Closing Ceremony was earlier in the week -- whoops! But considering this week has been a whirlwind both at the OTC and at work, I'm giving myself a break. And besides, there's really no wrong time to watch the closing ceremony! It's basically one giant, "what the HELL? Wait, this is kind of fun," moment, which made narrowing down my favorite moments extremely difficult!

I would've had the extinguished torch and, "See you in Rio!" as my final favorite moment, but actually I kind of hate that moment. That moment marks the beginning of my post-Olympics depression that I suffer from for at least a year.

Gotta say, I loved this ceremony. Like I said before, it was basically a constant WTF, but it was so incredibly entertaining. Doesn't hurt that British music is basically the greatest!

Happy Friday!

Favorites Friday: Moments From the London 2012 Opening Ceremony

Can you believe it's been a whole year since the opening ceremony of London 2012? I'm having a hard time wrapping my mind around it. I remember watching that ceremony like it was yesterday -- I was curled up on the couch, trying not to cry, and flailing at my parents because "THIS IS THE BEST PART!" every five minutes.

In honor of the first anniversary, I decided to do my first re-watch of the ceremony... and I was NOT expecting to get as emotional as I did. Though, in my defense, I cried at the same things I did last year. And it probably didn't help that I just got a "one year on" thank-you email from my old London 2012 Ceremonies volunteer coordinator in the middle of the athlete procession. (So. Many. Feelings.)

So what would be a more appropriate commemorative post than my favorite moments from the London 2012 Opening Ceremony?

Answer: nothing.

Well, that was equal parts fun and depressing.
