so, to start out the new year, me and my siblings and serena and her sister and her friend and kimoon went to big bear for a whole 2 days of snowboarding fun =D
we had planned on meeting up with them at a local starbucks before heading out to big bear at 6:30... i should have forseen that they would not be getting their until after 7 :P anyway... we got there at around 10ish and after renting equipment and stuff we were on our happy way snowboarding by around 11.
before i continue, might i say, the last time i went snowboarding, i don't recall being too bad at it... which was totally the cause for my utter defeat by bear mountain this time... i was stupidly not afraid of going fast this time i snowboarded... and just zipped around (ok maybe not as fast as real snowboarders zip around but fast for me!) before finding out the hard way that i don't know how to stop... haha.. apparently i don't learn too fast either, since i must've fell like at least 50 times on my whole 3 or 4 runs down the mountain, in the process probably fracturing my wrist and messing up my knees haha ^^;;; that compounded with a bad headache, i was out of commission by 2 or 3pm and just went inside to bask in the warmth and take a nap.
anyway, kimoon is such a liar... he claimed to be just "ok" at skiing... people who are just ok don't ski down black double diamond slopes!!! -__-;; i should've known when you bought a season pass... sigh.. haha so, sorry kimoon for not being able to accompany you more than once down the bunny slope lol..
at night we stayed at this really nice 3 bedroom cabin at big bear frontier... and for dinner we had a feast! we got take out from that super luxurious place known as... kfc.. -_-;; so after dinner and some rock band (i can't believe you brought the wii, serena...) we went to sleep... the thermostat was wacky though... it was burning in the middle of the night, but freezing in the morning... so cold in fact, that serena's car wouldn't start! (yup... that's mercedes for you :P) the key wouldn't turn at all... and we tried turning it really hard... so they called someone to come help us, but they wouldn't be here for another hour, so i made two trips and we all had breakfast at dennys. i wasn't there when this happened, but apparently when the car person came, all he had to do was stick the key in and turn it... epic fail on our part haha but whatevers, all's well that ends well, right? ^^
so after a day of snowboarding (sans kimoon and myself, of course), we headed to the boiling crab for dinner... i've had take out from there before, but i didn't think it was that great, so this time i wanted to see if eating in would be any better. between the 8 of us, we had like 9 lbs of shrimp and crawfish and like 3 orders of fried catfish with fries... blehhh too much food haha
i have to admit, i was not that impressed by the food there, but i guess people go to places like that more for the atmosphere. and to capture completely disgusting photos of people like my brother after they have decimated a mountain of shrimps and crawfish. i am utterly speechless at the absolute nastiness of this person whom i refuse to acknowledge as my brother =D btw if you found a wallet on the 4th of January, 2009 in either big bear or the parking lot of boiling crab, please return it to my stupid little brother =)well... i don't think i'll be snowboarding again anytime soon XD but it was fun. happy new year everyone~
