Highly

unscientific, as exemplified by the "official" hashtags:

#jeremy
#farris
#javi
#yuzu
#machida
#denis
#shoma

LOL, IN at least should have been consistent in designating all first names or all last names. #whatever)

Yeah.

Though I do wonder if I were to ever meet him, should I do a full scrub down of my body like take a shower, brush my teeth, gargle with mouthwash, wash my hands, and my face before I do so? Because I might unknowingly eat something beforehand that might have dairy products in it.....

Just want to be careful.

I'm not sure he's THAT sensitive to it

After all, we see him hugging people, standing on podiums with them, fistbumping them et al and I'm quite sure most of the US figure skaters eat dairy. I do think a wash of the hands is always in order.

Now that you mention it, I wonder if fists bumps actually are safer.

Okay. I just want to be safe cause I don't want to cause a reaction.

Though if a reaction does occur, I know how to use an epipen since I learned in camp how to use one.

True. But I can never be too careful.

So it's official. He won't participate because of injury.

Let's hope it's nothing serious and just an overabundance of caution.

I'm sure it's nothing to worry about

Buttle definitely will work with Josh on his new FS, per Amy Rosewater's new IN article:

http://web.icenetwork.com/news/2015/04/27/120813286 (Apr 27)

Excerpts:

This coming season, Buttle will help Farris and Adam Rippon with their free skates and also plans to collaborate with Michal Březina and several skaters from Japan, including assisting world silver medalist Satoko Miyahara with her exhibition routine. ....

... Farris and Rippon said they plan to travel to Toronto this summer to work with Buttle.
When Buttle created Farris' short program last season, the process of coming up with the right music was pretty simple.
"I guess it was kind of fate," Farris said. "I had wanted to skate to Ed Sheeran, but I couldn't make it work. Then Jeff sent me about 3-5 songs to check and one of them was 'Give Me Love.' I think I responded back in about five minutes. If you don't know me well, then you wouldn't know that I'm not quick to communicate, so this was very fast for me."

I am so curious what music Jeff will come up with!

I love this quote from the IN article about Jeff's choreography - couldn't agree more. Very excited that they are continuing to work together and I'm sure Jeff will come up with something memorable, most likely with Josh's collaboration.

Sometimes you think there are only a finite amount of things you can do on the ice, but I found from working with Jeff that there is much more than that finite amount," Joshua Farris said of the the 2008 world champion, who choreographed the U.S. bronze medalist's very well-received short program this past season and will also craft his free skate for the upcoming season. "Jeff is simply doing things that are revolutionary."

Can't belive this thread ended up on page three... Time to bump it up! :biggrin:

Do you remember how someone wrote into Yuzu's fan tread that they suffer from withdrawal symptons... Me too! But mainly because of Joshua. :eek:

:I have liked him during the season already. However, I wanted to look for some pics and gifs on Tumblr. That was not a good idea. :laugh:

I guess I'm obsessed with him quite a lot... I thought I had enough. :laugh:

I really grew up to his programs. I remember seeing his SP at NHK which was a disaster. I knew that SP had potential to be one of the best programs of the season. It was.

And finally, speaking of Tumblr, here is one hilarious gifset

I hadn't seen that gif set, isn't that from the Michael Buckley interview from Nationals? Buckley seems to know how to get some good stuff from him. He's got a goofy personality but it doesn't always come out b/c he's so reserved.

I suppose it has been very quiet on the Josh news. Perhaps he's taken some time off to heal his shoulder and spend time with family. Would love to hear more about his new long program soon.

invisiblespiral · May 17, 2015

Are you allowed to post completely random stuff dealing with your fangirling of him in here or no? Sorry.... :slink:

I think so. This is a fanfest thread envisioned as a "fun place to read, post, and celebrate" Joshua, and "gushing" is expressly allowed so long as no rules are violated.

StitchMonkey · May 17, 2015

It's also the off-season. So long as we don't drift into inappropriate, we can drift a bit more.

karne · May 17, 2015

Yes, that gifset was from his Nationals Social Scene and it was adorably hilarious and probably the point where I dissolved into unrecoverable giggles.

And then poor Michael wouldn't press Josh to sing and the very next day footage of Josh playing and singing was all over national television. Awwwwww, poor Michael! He could have had the scoop!

Alchamei · May 18, 2015

I love the video from Worlds where Josh is playing guitar before free skating and apparently has no idea someone is watching him and when he realizes it, all people starts laughing and he seems confused and shy a bit. :laugh:

It's this one:

And protective Christy hovering nearby!

StitchMonkey · May 22, 2015

While we are updating him, we may wan to add really little Josh from back when he was an audience plant for a Michelle Kwan interview on. . . some daytime talk show.

https://youtu.be/H5HRP9JAxx0?t=271

It was from when he was the 2006 Juvenile National Champion, so when he was 11 I think. Anyway very cute.
