How to deal with chick problems (SR)
Okay- a few weeks ago I met this girl and went out with her. HAd a good time, and she was awesome- good looking, blonde, in med school, and she even skis (total gaper, but still...)
Anyway, she went home to Chicago for winter break. Today she tells me that she met somebody and has started "seriously dating" him. I got the dreaded "let's be freinds" thing.
SO I did what any self respecting maggot would do in the situation- threw the skis on top of the car, and headed up to the hill. The lyrics of Mike Ness, Kurt Cobain, Paul Westerberg, and Patterson Hood, turned up to 11, kept me from going mad.
One of the things I like about skiing is that I am completely focused when I'm on the slopes. When I'm skiing all I am concerned with is the line I'm skiing, the next jump, my form, and how to avoid that gaper 50 yards ahead of me. On the lift, all I think about is my next trick, the line I'll take through that mogul field, or how can I pull off a jib. So I decided today I would try to pull off a helicoptor.
After a lap or two through the park to check out the conditions, I sacked up and went for it. And to my surprise, I skied away on my first attempt!!! FKNA! So I tried another one- success. Feeling good, I attempted a rail. No dice.
Anyway, I managed to land about 70% of my attempts, until I brusied my ribs. I did a few more runs before deciding to call it a day. I'll live to ski another day.
Anyway- I hope you're paying attention AKPM- I'm sure you'll have lots of days like this.
