Pretty awesome weekend so far...

Friday I went to Sundance again with some peeps. We waitlisted tickets, which means we stood in line and got a number and then came back right before the movie to see if we would get in. And we did!! It was Marianna Palka and Jason Ritter's film, and it was awesome!!! They were both there to answer questions afterwards...Sundance is awesome!! So good dinner, good company and a good movie.

Saturday I went boarding again. I guess that's one advantage of not having a family, you can go boarding whenever you feel like it. Wolf Mountain has gotten so much snow since I was there last. The boarding was good. I fell quite a bit and my left knee is a shade of red/purple that I have never seen before because of it. But I had a good time. However, going to a ski resort in Utah on Saturday reminds you why you should never go to a ski resort in Utah on a Saturday. It wasn't incredibly packed, but there were mass amounts of undisciplined urchins running around and knocking me over, or getting in my path, so I had to bite it instead of running the urchin over. Then there was this little 6 year old that I almost took out. I helped him up and he was my little shadow for the next 2 hours (with no sign of parental units around). Then all of a sudden his parents show up and seem real concerned and made me feel like a pervert. And I'm all...dude I don't want your kid following me, but he is and I'm just being polite by answering his questions, and no he's not being a bother...oh wait, I'm being polite again. What I really wanted to tell his mother was, "Listen lady, if I really wanted to kidnap your son I had plenty of opportunity to do it while you were not around because you have so many children you are trying to get a moment of peace. Get on some birth control, stop having so many damn kids and be a freaking mother." I mean honestly...who leaves a 6 year old unattended at a ski resort.

Anyways, by the time I left 5.5 hours after I got there...I was doing fairly well. Well much better than I was 5.5 hours previous. As I started practicing I was thinking in my head, "I am way too old to be learning this mess. I can't even stand up and all these little urchins are speeding by me. Maybe I should just pack it in and say forget about it." I guess this stems from the fact that I have never not been good (or at least proficient) at something I really wanted to do. Riding horses, came fairly easy to me...I had my spills, but overall I was a proficient rider. Music, came way easy to me...I don't even remember really struggling to play horn and half the time I wouldn't practice. School, easy. I really suck at running, but I hate running. I was talking to one of my friends this past week and he said, "Why are you learning snowboarding first? That's much harder initially to learn than skiing. Well I guess it's trendy." And my response to him was, "1. I really like my crucial ligaments intact...and if I ski I feel like that won't be the case. 2. The first time I went boarding I was so infuriated by my lack of skill and the number of times I fell, I'm just going to keep doing it until I get it. So it's not like I'm trying to be cool (we all know that isn't the case), I'm just really stubborn." So I guess that's a good attitude to have. And I have seen a small bit of improvement from the last time I went boarding...so that makes me feel a little better.

I wanted to go again tomorrow, but there is going to be another Utah storm, which means I am going to spend most of the day laying low and off the streets, due to the fact that people can't drive around here, add snow...it's a nightmare. And it looks like I will have another horrendous drive to the airport on Monday because it's supposed to drop snow on us all day tomorrow and most of the day on Monday, which is going to lead to about 344 crashes. I'm calling it right now...and I'll check online Monday night...that's about our average number of crashes for a storm. Oh yeah, and I'm going to Florida...so you can all start feeling bad for me now.

That is all!
