Phew, just got back from the mountain for the weekend.
The following parts of my body i can not feel or hurt like crazy
1.) My Arms
2.) My Legs
3.) My Ass

Onward with the post!!!

Friday - Had lunch at Mr meltons room. He forgot to order the pizza and instead got 3 Big Town Hero subs. I was so damn hungry that i ate the equivalent of one of those big sandwitches. The meeting was just about how we should manage our articles in the future but most of the time i was concentrating on eating.

I got out of school around the usual 3:00. Jennifer picked me up at the parking lot at the bank across the school. We headed off to Trinity Cathedral to meet everyone else that was going on the trip. The only people going from my church was Me and my friend Olivia. People that were from trinity were Nicko "Don't know if that's his actual name", Kathrine, Ryan, Austin, Dan, John, and some dude which i never got the name of. And of course there were the chaperones but yeah, let's just get on with what happened during the weekend that was cool.

Before we all headed out twards the mountian, me, Jennifer and Olivia left the cathedral to pick up food for breakfast that was going to be used for the next 2 days at some Grocery store downtown. We got the usual supplies. Pancakes, milk, eggs, cereal, just basic breakfast equipment. After that it was a 4 hour trip to the mountain

We left the parking lot around 4:30 and arrived at the lodge around 10:30 because of all the traffic that we were in. Olivia had lost her cell phone in Washington D.C. So for some reason, since everyone likes the technology i always carry with me, she wanted to play around with my phone. She messed around with it a bit and put stupid stuff in my schedule "Like just now actualy, i got an alert saying 'Happy sunday' on my planner. tsk tsk. Girls will be girls i guess"
Anyways back on track

We got to the lodge and unpacked our stuff. Us guys were allowed to sleep anywhere in the lodge, and the girls were confined to one room. I was lucky enough to claim one of the couches before anyone even noticed them. Damn good thing too because that couch was extremely comfertable.

After we got all unpacked, we decided to check out what was in this lodge that we were staying in. They had a pool table with a TV in one room, 3 bedroom with TV's, 4 bathrooms and a Hot Tub outside, which i never knew about so i didnt pack any trunks. But man 4 bathrooms for a 1 story house. I could use just another one at my house!!!!!!!

Me, Jenn and Olivia were the last ones to arrive at the house, when we got there, everyone was in the recc' room watching TV and/or playing pool. I played a few games of pool with some of the people there, mainly Nicko and Ryan. As i mentioned they had a hot tub availible to use, so all of the crew from trinity decided to dawn their trowsers and jump in the hot tub. Of course the heat control was no where to be found so they were all baking in 120 degrees of hot water. Sounds like fun. I didn't go in because as i said, i didn't really expect a hot tub to be there. Anyways, the rest of the night was just to get outselves situated for a good nights sleep.

TRANSISTION TO SATURDAY

Saturday - We all woke up around 7:00. I didn't really get much sleep so i was super tired. We all got some breakfast together, mainly it was just pancakes and eggs. I just had one pancake because i wasnt too hungry...

-Now to finish this entry-

______________________________________________________________________
Around 8:00, the person in charge decided to grab us all together and ask us what our plan was going to be for the whole day. Me, austin, olivia, ryan, dan and john all wanted to go snowboarding. Of course i did NOT have ANY money what-so-ever to rent a snowboard, let alone even get a lift ticket, Jennifer "Being so kick ass, as always" said she could cover me for both. My god i love that woman sometimes. So i was about to go snowboarding for the first time in my entire life!!

We left the lodge around 9:30ish and got to Mt. Batchlor around 10:05 or something like that. Olivia had brought her own snowboard so all she needed was just a lift ticket. Me and everyone else had to go and get ourselves some boots and a board. The board that i rented was a stomp-lock mechanism...type....thing.... which pissed me off a lot, but that will be explained later.

It was very sunny outside on the mountain when we emerged with our boards in hand. Since i was a complete virgin to snowboarding, Dan also being completely new to snowboarding, Jennifer decided to give us a few pointers on how to snowboard. She taught us the main methods of stopping while going down the snow, how to turn and basicly how to slow down. Just the very basics, not a full on fledged lesson or anything, but just some tips. After about a half hour of practicing, it was time to test our skills out on the slopes

And here is where the parts about my ass hurting come into play....

We all decided to just go up the ski-lift for the Bunny Hill slope first, because we were after all, beginners. When we got to the top of the slope, of course me being new i fell off the lift, which is to be expected :P, but i made it back up ok. With the pointers in my mind that Jennifer had given me, i felt like i could be badass on the slope like i was in Coolboarders 3 on the Playstation.

The pros make everything look so easy, i hate it when i feel like i can do what they can do.

Right off the bat i was going like 60mph downhill, which for me was awesome, but the problem was i wasn't the master of slowing down, let alone stopping yet. So the first attempt to stop made me do a backwards summersalt once, then a regular summersalt, then a flip onto my ass which hurt like nothing else in my life had hurt ever before. IT KICKED ASS!!!!!!!! But you know what they say, no pain no gain.

Of course it didnt stop there, i went up the bunny slope about 6 more times trying to improve on my own without any help. I actualy got slowing down, stoping and turning down pretty damn good. So i felt pretty confident about myself to be able to go up to a Green difficulty hill with austin and ryan, with me and dan being the newbies.

I HATE BEING A n00b!!!!!!!!!

Of course, never do what people tell n00bs to do. As in, follow them up.

The slope was insane. There were like vertical drops left and right everwhere. I was scared out of my fucking mind. They were like "Oh come on it's easy". EASY MY ASSHOLE!!!! I had a hard time trying to get up from falling 40 times on that damn slope. Hell, i didnt even ride down the slope, i just went down with my board horrizontal to the slope while looking forward, so i basicaly went down it slowly while looking like a retard. But in the end, i actually did make it down sucessfuly. So kudos to me for that.

When we got down to the bottom, me and austin took a wrong turn and ended up at sunshine lodge instead of lodge where we originaly started out at. So we had to call someone "Thank god for my cell phone" and get a ride back to the lodge where we started at.

Doing that ment that i had about 10 minutes to kill sitting around. So me and austin just sat there and talked for a bit. Holy shit, man me and this guy had so much in common it wasnt funny. Let's state the facts.

1.) We both have iPods
2.) We both went to the same middle school
3.) We're milkaholics
4.) Both our moms drag us to church against our will
5.) We both got baptised around 12

Hell, add to the fact that he used to date the daughter of the guy who owned the circle store on ladds addition, and you got yourself an interesting character. Hell, i didn't know Tab "The owner of the now, unexistant circle store :(" had a daughter. So that's kick ass. after we learned some stuff about each other, our ride came and we all went back to the lodge.

When we got back to the lodge "The one where our sleeping stuff is, not the ski lodge" we all put our clothes in the wash and just chilled for a while. Mainly all i did was play some pool, watch tv and eat some food and just plain hang out. Of course, since we just got back from the slopes, each of us was like. "It's cold" "HOT TUB TIME!!!!!!!". Of course i neglected to bring any sort of trunks so i was left out :(. "BUT WHY NOT WEAR SOME PANTS OR SOMETHING!?!?!?!?" because well, most of those weren't ment to be soaked in water. So everyone partied out in the hot tub and i stayed inside. Around 7:30, Katherine and Dan came out of the hot tub to get drinks for everyone because they lost some sort f race in the snow. So i got to see Katherine in a bikini. Man, she had the hottest body i've seen in a while, add to the fact she was in a bikini in winter and oh man. It was an awesome moment for me. After the hot tub party, we had a mini comunion service, which included bread and wine "SCORE". Then we all decided to go to bed around 12:00 and that was the end of saturday

Sunday: Woke up around 7:30. Got breakfast, had some DAMN good coffee cake that katherine's mom made, then we went back up to the mountain to go inner tubbing. Nicko and Dan payed for me because as i said, i didn't really have any money to spare to do anything. So that proves that there were awesome people up there that will pay for you even if you've only known them for a day.

Tubing was fun as hell. Of course the Mt.Batchlor tubing park is lame, as in there's no bumps, its just about 7 lanes of going straight down with some slight drops. The first 3 runs i just went by myself. To make it fun, we all divided into teams of two and raced eachother. As in, we went in a lane with a partner. We would grab onto eachothers tubs and just let it go. We used up 3 lanes total every time. Man, everytime i went with someone we always lost. I never got why. Maybe it was because my long ass legs were creating lots of air resistance or something. Most of the time, it was me and Dan on one team.

Haha oh yeah, we always had a war with Katherine and Olivia. We would always try to mess up their start by either tackeling them or just pushing their tubes down the slope while running back and going down our tubes. Of course we got into many snowball fights. It was a very fun day i would say :D. On our last run, we decided to be so illegal that we would all take up one lane and just all go down at once. We succedded at getting 4 people going down at once, but me and ryan were stopped before we had a chance. It was pretty funny. Some lady said not to do it again or we would get the wire clippers!!!! Of course i don't know what the hell she ment by that but it sparked some sort of inside joke that i'm now a part of.

At 12:00, we all got in our cars and headed off to the Sun river lodge to get some lunch. They had some good food there. After lunch, we went back to the lodge to pack up our stuff and head back to portland :(. I DIDNT WANT TO LEAVE :( :( :(. But what has to happen, had to happen. So we left around 3:00 and got home around 7:30

There's the weekend. It took me 3 days to write this because i kept running out of energy or just didnt want to type anymore.
