More money spent on skiing gear...

Okay, so I took about a week off from Vampire Rave.



It wasn't a planned week-long vacation. My workload increased a bit, and each night after returning home from work, I just didn't feel like logging on.



I bought my second pair of ski boards:

This set is much nicer than my first pair. I took them out on the mountain yesterday. Much more control... I was able to jump higher and stick more of my landings.



I can see myself owning 4 sets before the season is over. Each set is a little different and offers different advantages. I'm already looking at purchasing a good backcountry/deep powder set, as I plan to start doing a lot of extreme skiing.



I'm going back out on the mountain in about an hour....

The continual snow finally broke after about 15 or 16 days. It's pretty nice out right now. For the next few days it is suppose to be clear and in the high 20's.

We are in our 5th consecutive day of snow, and 4th consecutive day of sub-zero temperatures. Tomorrow the snow is forecast to continue, but the temperatures should start rising in the afternoon. Year to date, we've had 130 inches of snow.

The closest thing I will most likely ever have to my own children are my little cousins. I call them that, as they are the children of my first cousins. Their ages are: 4, 8, 14, 15, and 18. The older ones I take skiing. The 8-year-old, Natalie, had her first basketball tournament yesterday. It's pretty funny watching 3rd grade girls play basketball. Half the time they don't know which way to go on the court. Natalie is very small for her age, and she can't throw the ball high enough to go over the rim. But she's an excellent ball-handler and she stole the ball several times during her games. Her team went 2-1 for the day.

I need a vacation.. Not because I am tired, but because I need to go off and be by myself. I think I need to plan a ski weekend somewhere...

Coldness Falls...

It's getting extremely cold. Tonight it is suppose to reach -17F. That's without wind chill. Work was cancelled tomorrow due to the cold.



Sooooooo... No work means time to go skiing. I don't care how cold it is.

I am now certain my co-worker in question is gay. He keeps showing me his penis. It's disturbing.

They're Here!

My ski boards FINALLY came. My shoulder is almost healed. I should be fully recovered by Saturday... Just in time to injure it again. Time to go wax my boards...

Solitude

I'm not the type of person that does well in close quarters with others. Over a year ago I made the decision to care for my grandparents. I moved them in with me. Last May, my grandfather passed away. Now it is just my grandmother and I.



I love my grandmother more than anyone else alive. Yet each day I struggle with her in this house. It's nothing she has done, she is wonderful... I just don't do well when other people are around. I prefer to be alone. I want to be alone.... So I go off to be alone, and she thinks it is something she has done... Her feelings end up hurt.

Since my ski boards didn't arrive, I decided to rent some at the mountain versus using my ski's. This was my first time on ski boards.



I was amazed at how well they turned, and how quickly I picked them up. I got a little too exuberant however, and on my second run down the mountain I took a jump and went straight up 10 feet into the air.... and came down on my back.



I landed a little more on my left side, and I busted up my left shoulder. Today the headache is gone, but my left shoulder remains incredibly painful. It's difficult to move. I suspect the pain will remain until the end of the week.



The crash notwithstanding, I had a great time. It was 25 degrees (F) and the mountain was in great shape. By the end of the day I was skiing better than I ever have in my life. I cut down the mogul field like a pro... Hitting moguls and floating into the air and then landing on the next one... People stopped to watch.

In 14 hours I'll be Skiing ;)

It's the weekend and my new ski boards haven't arrived. I'm pissed.



Tomorrow I'm taking my little cousins skiing. The weather is suppose to be nice... It should be a good day.



The latest issue of FHM arrived. Teri Hatcher is on the cover in black neglige. She's definitely one of the most beautiful women alive.

I consider myself a compassionate, empathic person. Yet I am having difficulty empathizing with the Tsunami victims. My only spiritual explanation is that this event was pre-destined.



Watching the premiere of Medium. It's good so far...

I don't know what people would do if they couldn't bitch. I love Vampire Rave and I love working on it, but some nights I want to kick it all to the curb.



99% of the people here are okay. It's always the 1% that leave the impression however.

My grandmother's chihuahua is trying to have sex with my leg. She's female... I didn't think bitches did that...



Bad Santa was on cable the other night and I taped it... Gonna go watch it.. Should be good for a laugh.

Freezing rain has wreaked havoc with my automobiles. None of my windshield wipers work. The joy of winter...



I shouldn't be so sarcastic. I moved here because of the winters... The skiing and snowmobiling. I ordered new ski boards this week. Hopefully they'll arrive before the weekend so I can try them out.



I think one of my co-workers is gay and wants to sleep with me.

Online Journals

I have to admit, I've never quite understood the whole online journal craze. I've got so much to do, I can't image sifting through the personal notions of complete strangers. But, in realizing that there was a demand for such a thing, I added online journals to Vampire Rave.



We'll see how it develops from here.
