The definition of me...

Aaron: Illinois, United States; figure skating –noun 1. ice skating in which the skater traces intricate patterns on the ice. 2. a type of ice skating developed from this, emphasizing jumps, spins, and other movements that combine athletic skills and dance techniques. 3. a competitive sport in which the skater is required to execute school figures and to perform one or more original programs of difficult jumps, spins, etc., to a musical setting.

fanatic –noun 1. a person with an extreme and uncritical enthusiasm or zeal, as in religion or politics (in this case, figure skating).
