i wrote this awhile ago and finally i'm patient enough to post it.

I’m bored out of my mind. There is nothing on tv and my laptop does not have internet connection atop this mountain, sadly, without modern technology I’m about to lose my sanity. Okay that was an exaggeration but almost.
Snowboarding is by far the most painful sport I’ve played. I can barely walk because my calves ache like crazy! I think my muscles have completely atrophied or something because it never hurt like this when I was thirteen. But on a good note, I finally landed a jump. Not just landed, but I stuck the landing. Not that I got huge air (Eliza, again, I am not that good) but a good two or three feet. It was a much better show than yesterday when, apparently I was delusional for a few minutes because I attempted to do the half pipe. It was rather embarrassing; not only did I not get any air, but I also fell trying to turn my board halfway up the pipe. I’ll just leave the unbound area for now; I shall stick to the long runs and pathetically jump by myself in the air. But it’s boring snowboarding with my dad since I go with him every year. Y’all better start learning now, strap on your boots and I’ll take you to the top of the mountain because hell, there is no other way to learn but to experience! Haha, I promise guys, I won’t take you down double diamond runs…maybe diamond runs. Worse comes to worse, you can just hop off your boards and walk down. But I have more faith in y’all than that!
It was freaking cold on the mountain today though. Could only go halfway up the full elevation because the wind was too strong; I seriously felt like I was in a snowstorm and I didn’t have a beanie on (because it makes me look retarded) so my ears froze to my head. And I’m tired now, sore, and totally bored out of my mind. I get to catch up on my reading though – I tell you, Atlas Shrugged is totally starting to fall into place and it’s getting really good! I think I’m going to go read more, freaking 500 more pages till the end; this is going to be the longest book I’ve ever read.
