Tim and Michelle

[Smakelijk]

hey what about Tim and MK ? they looked cute together. They are the same age but Tim looked 15. Anyway, just a thought cuz i am really sick of that Paul guy.

[mano]

Hey, welcome to fan fiction land. It's where anything goes. Points to ponder. MK is going to choose whoever she wants. What we want for her is just fiction. As for Tim, things going for him are: 1) Same age, albeit 2 months younger...in men years that's about 5 years difference (being facetious there). 2) Go to college. Both have lots of things to talk about regarding professors etc. 3) Figure Skating. They compete at the elite level of their sport and have tons of time to hang around each other through comps and tours. Disadvantages: 1) He's looks a bit...geeky. Sorry, but had to say it. 2) Thinner than MK...As a woman, I'd rather see some muscle in there somewhere. The guys in figure skating are so thin these days due having to complete quads. Now ladies, I know there are some exceptions, but a majority would prefer bigger, beefier (sometimes, sleek is good too), taller guys. I'd freak if the guy is thinner than me 'cause I'd have to constantly watch what I eat. I mean, gain a little weight, boom, I might crush the guy if I try to sit on his lap. 3) Monetarily, MK is a millionaire. Tim is probably on his way there, but he won't earn as much as MK ever, methinks. I know it's a guy thing that sometimes women who earn more than them intimidates them. It's a pride thing. But hey, maybe Tim doesn't care about the above reasons and maybe Michelle doesn't really care for all the reasons I mentioned either. Again, she will choose in the end who she wants to be with. We fan fictioners know that totally 'cause if you think about it, the moment MK and PK decide to hitch with somebody else, you can probably can kiss BFFF goodbye. Sad to see it go though. Had great memories and made great friends, sniff, sniff, sob...

[Karin]

Mano!!! I'm ROTFL about your disadvantage #2!!! My boyfriend is not all too too too muscular...but hey...at least I can sit on his lap just fine!!!...and I'm 110lbs!!! I do think Timothy is younger looking...:-) he's cute!!!

[kjesse]

When I saw him give her that peck, and saw her surprise, I thought she was sitting there wishing someone else could have been there, then the quick kiss, and she thought "Oh my gosh, it can't be!", only to turn quickly around and have to hide her disapointment. Do I think they look cute together? No, and it's not because I'm an addicted BFFF follower, I just don't find him to be attractive. I've got to laugh about the "cuz i am really sick of that Paul guy" statement. If it were only true, that we could get sick of seeing/hearing about MK and that Paul guy in the real world.

[Sharon]

I haven't "seen" the peck or the peek >-(, but from what everyones written, I too think Tim has a crush on Michelle. Maybe a big one since he gave her that peck/peek on TV. Maybe it's because he's a young healthy male with lots of hormones and Michelle is a really beautiful woman, so it's natural for him to look. It's kind of sweet and "young" for him to be so obvious. Like mano though, I think Michelle would probably go for someone more mature/older. I am, of course, speculating, but Tim does seem a little young for her from the little I've seen or heard on/from him. LOL mano on disadvantage #2. ITTTA. My hubby has big (not too big) muscles and it makes me feel protected and feminine. But then, I'm just a little (LOL) bit bigger than Michelle. If you've ever seen her in person, she is REALLY TINY! I wouldn't be surprised if she had a 18-22 inch waist.

[littlepebbles1]

Since Worlds last year. 1) (This doesn't mean jack cause it could have been me [a female] in Tim's place.) When ESPN showed Michelle's qualifying round performance, they showed Tim in the stands looking interested. Of course when I saw that I just thought "How nice, he's cheering Michelle on." Plus, his coach Carol HJ was there also, so I thought nothing of it. 2) 1st Keri Lotion comp. (US vs Russia) I got a little suspicious here after Michelle skated because when she was in the K&C with everyone, I saw Tim *looking* looking at her and seeming real enamored(sp?) to me. 3) Saw the same thing at this Keri comp and I sure was not expecting him to kiss her on the cheek. Let me tell you I about fell on the floor. And that's before I even noticed what Mano's relatives noticed. I don't really think Tim is all that bad looking even though he's not on my personal list with Will, Denzel, and the rest. The truth of the matter is that I probably wouldn't mind if I didn't think that PK goes with Michelle so perfectly in my imagination. And I have a new BFFF chant: "He's just a friend like Elvis and Brian, he's just a friend like Elvis and Brian..." Continuing to eat my chocolate....

[Sharon]

Cheer up LP (is this okay or do you prefer littlepebbles1), you've just given all of us a reason (as if we needed one) to re-watch all those comps tonight :-)!

[kjesse]

My goodness littlepebbles1 if you're talking about Will Smith and Denzel Washington then your right, he pales in comparison. No pun intended. I happen to think those two gents are VERY good looking, actually I would use the word gorgeous for them. PS: wait till your happy again to eat your chocolate, don't eat it when your sad.

[mano]

I'm hungry for some too. Need some sugar to boost my creativity again which the Vampyre TG sucked right from me. LP, ROTFLOL on your quote of the day!!! "Where's the BEEF?!?" indeed!!! That made my day, 'cause GMTA!!!

[Terri]

I don't mean to be intrusive on Michelle's private life but if it were to happen that she and Tim got together I would be very happy to say the least.

[yingshan]

And no defection now. Tim is a baby for Michelle. He's too wet behind the ear. Michelle is light years ahead of him in terms of maturity and TG isn't that good looking in my opinion. I'd rather Michelle find someone in UCLA, if PK doesn't come through, instead of TG. I have faith in Michelle's taste. :-) Now, cheer up and put the chocolate away, littlepebbles. All are not lost just yet. A peck is just a peck. If he keeps it up at GPF and the Nationals, I'll start worrying. :-)

[mano]

for this weeks Grand Prix. Get this, both are already in France today and the only other people MK can hang out with are Elvis and Elena Bereshznaya. Tim doesn't have anyone to hang out with either except maybe for Elvis. MK and her nice, friendly self will take Tim under her wing. If Tim tries anything, I'm speculatin' Elvis' brotherly feelings might rise to the occassion and tell Tim to knock it off, or he'll do the honors. Elvis: Um, hands off punk, I do know a little Karate. I was there at the Keri Comp and saw your little stunt. I'm a little bit rusty, but I have good muscle memory and can remember a few Karate moves, care to see? Tim: Uh, GULP, I, uh... [THUD!!!] As for the UCLA thing...don't want to think about that either. Here's to hoping the guy doesn't mind not being the breadwinner in the family. But make sure he doesn't get labled a fortune hunter.

[Smakelijk]

Hey, are they the only 2 Americans in France right now? it would be neat if they went out on an innocent date together.

[Smakelijk]

take a look at this picture. Tim at his senior prom <A HREF=http://www.figureskatersonline.com/timothygoebel/album/tgp6.html>http://www.figureskatersonline.com/timothygoebel/album/tgp6.html</A>

[littleone4eva]

I don't think Michelle got to go to Senior Prom :(

[littleone4eva]

Hey, just read a GPF article. It said that they were talking on the phone while in France. They're the only US people there! :)

[Sharon]

mano, what's GMTA? LP, I just re-watched the Keri (US vs Rus) and you are SO right! He was watching her the whole time and right towards the end, he looked her up and down. Didn't look QUITE so INNOCENT to me! He looked more, oh I don't know, predatory? Kind of covetous? Must be those male hormones. Cheer up BFFFers, Michelle seemed totally oblivious :-)!

[Kara]

Hi Littlepebbles1:)! What did Mano's relatives notice????? I definitely think Timmy's sweatin' her! He's sweet, although he's no PK...still a good choice, though, I think.

[Abercrombie]

I think Tim looks like Justin Timberlake from N'Sync.

[mano]

GMTA stands for "Great Minds Think Alike." As for my relatives, they as well as I, noticed that Tim peeked at MK's derriere before she sat down in the Kiss & Cry. No big whoop, but I thought it was hilarious.

[Karin]

I wonder if they were hanging out together at Lyon...

[skatingfan]

When did Tim look at MK with elevator eyes, which part of Keri Lotion, at Kiss and Cry after she skated? I must not have that one on tape.

[skatingfan]

Well they both are bringing home from GPF a medal. They are both 19 y/o, timmy is 2 months younger, there must be a lot to talk about on the 8 hour flight back to the east coast. Maybe Tim will share some of his quad jump secret with MK.

[Karin]

Skatingfan...and the 3axel!!! Hee hee... BTW I heard Timothy practiced the 4sal/3toe/3loop

[wonder]

He looks a little bit geeky, but he seems very sweet. I don't think he is light-year behind Michelle in term of maturity. Saw the clip about him helping special Olympic athletes and he is very matured for his age despite his somewhat younger looking. The only disadvantage is that they will foucs on figure skating too much, while picking an outsider will branch out one's life more.

[Googoo]

I'll have to look at that footage again lol. It's so amazing what some people see though. SOmeone posted that Todd looked annoyed when Tim kissed Michelle and he didn't look annoyed at all to me. And that SH looked away... that's not how I saw it. *Shrug*

[Sharon]

It's on the first Keri competion. USA vs Russia. Watch the kiss and cry after Michelle skates 'til the end. At the time, most people commented on Elena touching Michelle as if in congratulations, but this time I watched Tim. The peck at the second Keri sheds new light on his behavior.

[eilaram]

LOL...wonder if Tim has any clue that many posts on several threads have centered around an action of his that only took a few seconds to complete.

[skatingfan]

I view the tape, you guys are observant. I think you can interpret it both ways. MK just won her part of the head to head with a 6.0 I won't be surprised that Tim's eyes are on her b/c she was the star at the moment. Then he did looked for more than once.

[mano]

A nice player, but, still a player...that or his 19 year old hormones are getting the best o him. Get this, if you re-watch the USA vs World, check out the ending where that song is playing and they showed a montage of all the events that happened there while the credits are running. Anywho, there was a part where they featured Lu Chen and Liz Manley dancing you'll notice Tim Goebel peek at Lu Chen too, hehehehe. I am so getting this guy into trouble.

[EmilyJ]

I usually don't visit FSW, but i just went over there for the first time in a month just to see what was goin' on, and there was this whole thread on how TG had his fly all the way down during his program at GPF. I just thought that was hilarious. How embarrassing! i didn't even notice that.

[Iskatgal]

I rewatched the Keri Lotion Comp. This is my take on what I saw it the kiss and cry. I noticed that all the guys had their eyes on Michelle, she is such a beautiful and sexy lady, that you can't help staring at her. Tim's peek and peck was a result of that. I thought it was funny that he was caught on camera. Michelle has that effect on men!

[skatingfan]

Give tim a break guys, even in fan fiction, he is just 19.

[Iskatgal]

I rewatched the Keri Lotion Comp. This is my take on what I saw in the Kiss and Cry.

[Victoriacai]

Whos Tim?

[skatingfan]

Victoria, Tim is timothy Goebel.

[Kara]

This is funny! Poor guy...if he hears about this (and the fly thread), he'll probably feel like a jerk bcz we're all inspecting him:). Well, it looks like our top two US men have had their "pants" problems lately: last year at Worlds, Micheal Weiss' had to change his pants after the warm-up, then he split them, revealing his white panties:), while falling in the LP at Skate America, and now Timmy's fly's down and he's caught checking out MK's booty...what a stellar year for the US men;).

[mano]

Kara, that is soo funny. "PANTIES"?!? I think Weiss' Machismo image just went down a peg or two, heehee.

[eilaram]

Just thought of another disadvantage... Michelle Goebel= MG (eeekkkk! initial change, and not much ring to it) Michelle kwan= MK= Michelle Kariya (same initials and has more of a ring to it)

[littlepang]

kekeke....kekkeeke.... too funny...

[Icare]

Nowaday, women don't have to change last name when they are married. So Michelle Kwan forever! :-))

[skatingfan]

Even if 6.0 marries #9, why can't he adopt her name. I like the ring Paul Kwan. And definitely Michelle Kwan forever.

[Aaron W]

Well, I'm going to Nationals everyone so I'll try to keep a look out on Michelle and Tim and see if maybe there is anything there. I for one would be excited about this. Just think, Tim could help Michelle with the jumps possibly while Michelle could help Tim with his artistry(if anyone can do this, Michelle can). From a skating standpoint, those two as a couple would be great for both of them.

[mano]

Boitano and Stojko tried to help her with her triple axle. BTW, never underestimate the power of the hyphenated last name. Thus, Michelle Kwan-Kariya or MKK for short, ahahahahahaha, just kidding.

[skatingfan]

Again Paul can take on the kwan name too, Paul - Kariya Kwan

[Mousee17]

LOL I love this thread!!!

But I agree, Timmy really likes Michelle. Sniff, sniff, I suppose I shall step aside and allow fate to take it's course. <img src=http://www.ezboard.com/intl/aenglish/images/emoticons/frown.gif ALT=":("> I have to agree that I would feel weird if my boyfriend was that thin! Sheesh Timmy, eat something! (just not too much so you can't land quads! <img src=http://www.ezboard.com/intl/aenglish/images/emoticons/smile.gif ALT=":)">) I think Timmy's gorgeous! He reminds me of Ryan Philippe!

Michelle seemed completely oblivious to all of the men in the Kiss and Cry. Perhaps she is saving her heart for Paul...<img src=http://www.ezboard.com/intl/aenglish/images/emoticons/smile.gif ALT=":)">

I also saw SH turn away, maybe she has a crush on Timmy!!

Mano, you really have it in for Timmy! LOL! <img src=http://www.ezboard.com/intl/aenglish/images/emoticons/smile.gif ALT=":)">
I'll bet you're Elvis' backup if Timmy or any guy ever tries anything cute on our Michelle! <img src=http://www.ezboard.com/intl/aenglish/images/emoticons/smile.gif ALT=":)">

[icesk8r1]

Who on Earth is PK? Have I been living under a rock ?(under a rock?)(hehe thats from an acuvue commercial)

i think its hilarious how we notice these things and pick them apart like nobody's business tim's prob thinking i got away with kissing MK and lookie here 45 replies to it!

i have got to start taping these competitions...<!--EZCODE EMOTICON START :) --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/intl/aenglish/images/emoticons/smile.gif ALT=":)"><!--EZCODE EMOTICON STOP-->

[ILOVEMWK]

Personally, I think Tim and Michelle would look cute together. When he smiles even I have to sigh.

[skater13]

Personally I think Tim is a really nice guy BUT....for MK? But I can deffinatly see he has a BIG crush on her!!!!! And no offense but I'm deff. sick of PK, I dont even think hes the guy for her : o
Hey just to let everyone know, I am new, lol, if you hadnt noticed. Hannah : )

SKATING ROCKS, MK RULES!!!!!!!

[skatingfan]

You dont have to be a Paul fan just a MK fan to be here. Please keep posting.
