DETAILS ABOUT MY ALMOSTAWEEKLONG SKI TRIP PART 2
SO I SEE YOU HAVE JOINED ME YET AGAIN! I DONT KNOW HOW MANY ENTRYS I AM GOING TO NEED TO WRITE IN ORDER TO MAKE ALL THIS WORK.. WE'LL SEE.
THURSDAY>DAY 3> THE DAY BEFORE THE LAST DAY OF THE YEAR
SO IF YOU READ THE ENTRY BEFORE THIS, YOU'D KNOW THAT I WOKE UP EARLY, AND ATE AN EARLY BREAKFAST. WHILE I SAT ON MY "BED" I WATCHED DRAGONTALES. A TELEISION SHOW I HADEN'T SEEN IN WHAT FELT LIEK AGES. AS I NEARLY SPILLED MY BOWL OF HONEY BUNCHES OF OATS CEREAL MORE TAHN ONCE, EVERYONE BEGAN TO AROUSE FROM THEIR PEACEFUL SLEEP. AFTER WE HAD ALL EATEN AND WASHED AND CHANGED AND PUT ON MULTIPLE LAYERS OF HEAT ABSORBING COLD BLOCKING CLOTHING, WE HIT THE ROAD. ON OUR WAY YESTERDAY (BY THE WAY) I HAD TO STOP AND TRY ON JUST ABOUT EVERY PAIR OF SNOW PANTS IN THE STORE LAHOUTS. CUZ I DON'T HAVE ANY. NOW I WOULD HAV EMUCH RATHERD SKI WITHOUT SNOW PANTS, BUT, NO, I JUST HAD TO HAVE SOME OR SO THINKS MY MOTHER, AND I ENDED UP HAVING TO BUY MY OWN! WHAT IS THIS? A CONSPIRICY TO MAKE ME SPEND THE MONEY IM SAVING UP TO BUY MYSELF A CAR!? THANK YOU MOTHER, I HOPE YOU DON'T MIND PITCHING IN THAT EXTRA THOUSAND WHEN IT COMES TO CAR BUYING TIME. SO MY SNOWPANTS ARE PRETTY COOL IF I SAY SO MYSELF, I MEAN, THEY HAVE TO BE IF I PAID $107 FOR THEM. BUT ANYWAY, BACK TO DAY 3. SO WE GET TO THE MOUNTIAN AND DO THE WHOLE "SKI YOU HEART OUT THING" ONCE AGAIN. AND DAN SETS ME OFF ON SOME BLACK DIAMOND TRAIL THAT SHOULD BE GOOD FOR ME BECAUSE IT GETS MY LEGS WORKING HARD (BECAUSE HE KNOWS, HE JUST KNOWS, THAT IM GOING TO GO BACK AND FORTH DOWN IT THE ENTIRE TIME). AFTER THAT, HIM AND I TAKE A BREAK AND SEEM TO HAVE LOST MY MOM, ERICA AND DEMITRA WHO ARE PROBABLY ALL ON SOME EASY TRAIL AS WE GET OUR LUNCH (AGAIN FROM THE LOON LODGE CAFE PLACE). SUDDENLY MY MOM AND DEMITRA SHOW UP AND WE FIND THAT ERICA HAS BEEN INSIDE THE LODGE, JUST SITTING THERE CUZ SHE DOESNT WANT TO SKI AND HAS NOTHING BETTER TO DO THAN COUNT HOW MANY SHOES WALK BY HER CORNER. SO TOGETHER WE ALL EAT LUNCH. THEN TOGETHER WE DECIDED TO GO BACK TO OUR STUDIO STYLE ENGLISH FLAT RESEMBLING MOTEL ROOM WHERE WE BASICALLY DID NOTHING FOR THE REST OF THE NIGHT WITH THE EXCEPTION OF EATING SOME GROSS VEGETABLES DROWNING IN SOY SAUCE ALONG WITH PORK OR SOME DRY MEAT OF THAT SORT. SO WE HAVE THE DRY FOOD ALONG WITH THE DROWNED DRENCHED FOOD. NICE. AFTER WE ATE, EVERYONE EXCEPT FOR DAN CROWED ONTO MY BED IN THE COUCHROOM AND INTERESTED IN THE MADE FOR T.V. MOVIE WE WERE WATCHING, WHICH HAPPEND TO BE CADET KELLY. THE MOVIE HAD BEEN ON NUMEROUS TIMES IN WHICH CASES I WATCHE DTHE ENTIRE THING FROM START TO FINISH USING THE EXCUSE "I HAD NOTHING BETTER TO DO" AS MY ALABI. SO HERE WE WERE, WRAPPED UP IN A FICTIONAL (BUT POSSIBLY TRUE) STORY OF A GIRL WHO WAS ATTENDING A MILITARY ACADAMY AGAISNT HER WILL, AND TRYING NOT TO LET THE UNUNIQUENESS RULE ENFORCED BY HER STEP FATHER (SEEING AS THUOGH HE WAS INCHARGE) NOT PPLY TO HER. I GOT UP AT ONE POINT, TO FILL MY MUG (THATS ALL THEY HAD IN OUR STUDIO STYLE ENGLISH FLAT RESEMBLING MOTEL ROMM, NO CUPS, JUST MUGS WITH GRAPEFRUIT PAINTED ONTO THE SIDES) AND RETURNED TO COUCH/BED/LIVING ROOM WHERE I FOUND MY MOTHER AND TWO SISTERS IN A TRANCE. WAS THIS MOVIE REALLY THAT AMAZING? APPARENTLY SO. AT LEAST, ONE WOULD THINK SO WHEN THEY FIND THEY'RE STUBBORN FAMILY GIVING INTO THE DRAMA OF A DISNEY MOVIE. AFTER THAT WAS OVER, I SHOOED OUT OF MY COUCHROOM, AND ATTEMPTED TO SLEEP. RATHER, HALF SLEEP. NEVER DID I EXPECT TO REALLY SLEEP, REACH THAT STATE OF SILENT CONCIOUSNESS WHERE YOU COULD ACTUALLY DREAM, THAT PLACE WHERE YOU GO IN YOUR HEAD WHERE YOU'RE COMFORABLY SLEEPING. COMFORTABLE BEING THE KEY WORD. WHEN IM ONLY HALF COMFY, IM ONLY ABLE TO FALL HALF ASLEEP. SO AFTER I TOSSED AND TURNED FOR A WHILE, I DECIDED THAT IT WAS NO USE TRYING TO FIND A COMFORTABLE POSITION SEEING AS THOUGH THERE JUST WASN'T ONE, AND JUST AS I GAVE UP HOPE AND WAS PLANNING AN ALL NIGHTER, A WAVE OF EXAUSTION HIT ME, AND I SLEPT STRAIGHT TILL MORNING.
FRIDAY>DAY 4>HAPPY NEW YEARS EVE!
RAIN RAIN GO AWAY COME AGAIN ANOTHER DAY... ACTUALLY, HOW BOUT NEVER? I HATE THE RAIN, I HATE THE COLD FRONT IT BRINGS ALONG WITH IT, I HATE THE TEXTURE, THE RAIN DROPS, I HATE THE SOUND, AND MOST OF ALL, I HATE THAT IT MAKES EVERYTHING FEEL SO GLOOMY. NO SKIING TODAY, FOR, I'M DEFINETALLY NOT UP TO A DAY OF GETTING RAINED ON WHEN I COULD SIT INSIDE MY STUDIO STYLE ENGLISH FLAT LOOKING MOTEL ROOM AND LOOK OUT MY WINDOW AND RATHER, WATCH EVERYONE GET RAINED ONE. WITH THE TOWN ENVELOPED BY A DARK CLOUD I FIGURED THAT I COULDN'T REALLY ESCAPE THE WETNESS, AND GAVE INTO THE IDEA OF GOING SHOPPING. I LOVE TO SHOP, I HATE SPENDING MONEY THOUGH. SO AS WE LOOKED IN AND OUT OF STORES OF COURSE I FOUND THINGS I WANTED TO BUY, BUT NO WAY WAS I GOING TO ACTUALLY BUY THEM AND WASTE (OR WHAT I BELIEVED WAS WASTING) MY MONEY. DEMITRA WAS OVERCOME WITH JOY WHEN SHE FOUND THE PERFECT SKI BOOTS, NEW SHINEY BLUE ONES WITH TONS OF BUCKLES, AND I WAS OVERCOME WITH INDECISION ON WHETHER OR NOT TO ACTUALLY BUY SOMETHING. I DECIDED NOT, BECAUSE AFTER ALL, I WANTED TO GET A NICE CAR, A NEW SHINEY ONE WITH A LONG WARRENTLY WHICH I KNOW COSTS MORE THAN A CRAPPY ONE BOUND TO FALL APART OF BREAK DOWN AT ANY MOMENT. AFTER OUR NON SHOPPING EXPIERENCE (EXCEPT WHEN DEMITRA SPLURGED FOR A PAIR OF BOOTS), WE ALL RETREATED BACK TO THE PARKER MOTEL. THERE, AT OUR TABLE, WE DISCUSSED OUR OPTIONS ON HOW AND WHERE TO CELEBRATE. I WAS PARTICULARLY INTERESTD IN TWO EVENTS, ONE, WHICH WAS BEHIND THE MILL, THAT BIG OLD OLD OLD VERY OLDDD HAUNTED LOOKING ABOUT TO FALL DOWN MILL WHERE THEY'D AHVE A BIG BONFIRE AND FIREWORKS AND SUCH, AND TWO WHICH WAS AT TEH INDIAN HEAD RESORT, OUR NEIGHBOR, AND THEY WERE HOSTING A KAREOKE NIGHT AS WELL AS DINNER AND SUCH. I'D NEVER DONE KAREOKE BEFORE, OTHER THAN AT VARIOUS FRIENEDS BIRTHDAY PARTYS WHERE I KNEW EVERYONE AND THOUGHT IT'D BE FUN TO TRY OUT SOMETHING NEW. BEFORE WE CHOSE OUR DESTINATION, WE DECIDED UPON GOING OUT TO DINNER AT A FANCY WELL TO DO RESTURAUNT IN THE HEART OF TOWN. IN FACT, IT WAS RIGHT AROUND TO CORNER FROM THE MILL. CAN YOU SAY CONVIENENT? AFTER I HAD A DELICIOUS DINNER OF LASAGNA (ONE OF MY FAVORITE MEALS OF ALLTIME) AND AN EVEN MORE DELICIOUS DESERT, WHICH WAS A PIECE OF TOLLHOUSE COOKIE PIE, WE PAID WITH NUMEROUS GIFT CERTIFICATES THAT HAD BEEN COLLECTED OVER A TIME PERIOD OF A FEW HOURS, BECAUSE MY PARENTS HAD RECIEVED THEM WENT THEY WENT TO AN OPEN HOUSE THAT WAS FOR VIEWING A TIME SHARE/CONDO THING. ANYWAY, WE ENDED UP GOING TO THE MILL AND WITNESSING THE GREAT BON FIRE THING.IT WAS SO MUCH FUN, AN OVER ALL, WORTHWHILE EXPERIENCE. A HUGE CROWD HAD GATHERD BY ABOUT 7:30 AND EVERYONE WAS DANCING AND CHATTINNG AND LISTENING TO THE MUSIC THAT WAS BEING BLASTED BY THE DJ WHO WAS STANDING BY RAMBLING ON ABOUT SOME TOWN THINGS OVER THE MIRCOPHONE. SO, BEING THE OUTGOING PERSON THAT I AM, I TOOK OF MY WINTER JACKET AND GLOVES AND SUCH, ALL THOSE BULKY THINGS TRAPPING MY EXCITMENT INSIDE AND JUST COMPLETLY LET GO. I MEAN, HOW MANY OF THESE PEOPLE HERE AM I REALLY GOING TO SEE EVER AGAIN IN MY LIFE? NOT ALOT I'LL TELL YOU THAT MUCH. SO I HAD AN ABSOLUTLE BLAST DANCING TO EVERYTHING FROM THE COTTON EYE JOE TO THE MACARENA TO WE ARE FAMILY TO SWEET CAROLINE. AFTERWARDS, AFTER BURNING OFF MY DINNER BY DANCING AROUND THE BON FIRE WITH ABOUT 7 OR 8 OTHER PEOPLE, MAKING A COMPLETE FOOL OF MYSELF, I WENT HOME AND TRIED TO STAY UP UNTILL MIDNIGHT, WHICH I ENDED UP DOING, BUT NOT ON PURPOSE. I TOOK A SHORT NAP BECAUSE IW ANTED TO STAY UP TO WATCH THE BALL DROP ON THE TELEVISION BUT DAN SAID THAT WE WERE ALL GOING TO BED. FINE, I THOUGHT TO MYSELF. I KNEW THAT I'D BE TIERD THE NEXT MORNING IF I STAYED UP THAT LATE AND I WAS NOT IN THE MOOD TO BE TIERD ALL DAY AND HAVE TO SKI THROUGH THE EXAUSTION. I ENDED UP STAYING UP WELL PAST MIDNIGHT BUT INSTEAD OF WATCHING THE BALL DROP, I WAS LYING ON MY "BED" AND TRYING TO THINK MYSELF TO SLEEP. MAYBE THINKING ABOUT ALL THE EXCITMENT OF ONE DAY WOULD MAKE ME TIERD ENOUGH TO FALL INTO A DEEP DEPP SLEEP, ONE THAT WOULD NEVER SURRENDER ME TO THE DAYLIGHT, THE MORNING SUNSHINE, SO I COULD CATCH UP ON ALL THE SLEEP I'VE MISSED. BUT NO, WHY SLEEP FOREVER WHEN YOU CAN WAKE UP AT 7 IN THE MORNING AND SKI YOUR HEART OUT FOR THE UMTEENTH TIME THIS WEEK? OH YEAH, CUZ IT'D BE PEACEFUL.
