I'm just gonna go ahead and say it: Two saturdays ago, I went snowboarding.
Wipe those incredulous looks off your face y'all. Even my chiropractor today was like "YOU WENT SNOWBOARDING?!" Yes I did guys. I did I did I did.
Or at least I tried.

grrrls
We're only smiling because we didn't know the kind of agony we'd be in later.
At first I was all newb like "ooh snow guys it's snow!!" Well obviously I got no reaction whatsoever cos they continued strapping on their big ass snow boots and beanies and taking pimp photos and the like. Very well then. But snow guys its snow!! Note the blind excitement at the beginning of the day.
This excitement lasted all through gearing up but trust me.. it started declining rapidly soon after.
First came the flying snowballs.
And the obscene poses and the animal-like tendencies coming out in full force.
Unsurprisingly, I took some pretty hard and nasty falls..
First up: I got hit by a ski lift. Right at the back of my skull. Basically I missed getting on the ski lift and fell on my face.. the oncoming ski lift hit me right smack in the back of my head.
Ski lift operator, after stopping ski lift: "HOLY SHIT ARE YOU OK? DOES IT HURT?! ARE YOU DIZZY???"
Me, embarrassingly struggling to recover myself: "errrh nrrrgh yes i'm dizzy but that's cos i just got hit in the head not in the serious E.R kinda way (seriously i actually said something along those lines.) *proceeds to army crawl out of the way of more ski lifts* please start the ski lift again!!!"
Me, 4 hours after accident, en route to redrock: OMG GUYS I'M BLEEEEEDING
T, after seeing my gash: OH! MY!! GOD!!!.. Thanks guys. Helpful, reaaal helpful. Although they were being a little melodramatic - what with the blood spreading a little and making it look worse than it actually was. So jsyk all's good now.
J, looking to join in on the action: OH FUCK.
Also, a 6 year old and his snowboard ran right into me and my face. (Refer to: broken sunglasses plus mini-cut on face later on in entry)
J: "How come we've been boarding so many times and we've never gotten hurt. Eva goes once.. and it's like she gets hurt enough times to cover all of us"Yerh that's me.. Always ready to take one for the team

Hit up the redrock buffet, did the rounds at ay-chungs and caught an a.m. showing of jumper before eventually calling it a night. My weary bones were crying bloody murder.
jorjor & anday

With x-sports come x-injuries:
1. my poor wallet (idk) / 2. my favorite pair of sunglasses (kid snowboarder)
3. cut on face (same kid snowboarder) / 4. omg-gash on head (ski lift)

Even with all the mishaps and insanity.. it's all systems go again tomorrow. With my new snow pants and killer gloves + bright pink beanie - woo ready, set,
