like a local

i have just, as my sister puts it, sold my soul to the mountain. since i know i'm not going to get any guitar playing abilities out of it, i'm just gonna have to hope that i learn to "ride this here snowboard real good" instead.

in case none of this leaves you with the slightest clue as to what i might be discussing: i bought a vail resorts pass, and will proceed to spend the winter falling alternately on my ass and on my face instead of doing practical things like homework or eating (it is NOT a cheap pass). but that's okay, because it means that joi is coming to visit me! hooray! three years, and this is the first time anyone has decided to take advantage of that whole "two hours from some of the best skiing on the planet" thing. super excited. also, it's joi. which is exciting enough on its own.

hopefully i will manage to stay in one piece and not be a menace to myself and those around me. with that in mind, however, i should probably start out at breck... no one will care if i end up bowling for texans
