Christmas shopping

skiing's dece. i used to go a dozen times a year, but now i'm lucky if i go once or twice. i used to be able to do double-diamonds, but i tried one last year and it took me a really long time to get down without falling. whatever, the medium ones and diamonds are more fun, because you can totally bomb down them without thinking and hit jumps and stuff.
 
i've never went skiing. i would likely need a class like this.
if i went skiing, i would likely break a leg the first day and spend the rest of the trip in front of the fire drinking dark beers and mulled wine, so it'd still rule.


also: can't skate. even roller skate. majorly uncoordinated.
 
Stopped skiing about 12 years ago, started snowboarding at that time and never really went back to the skis. And to make something very clear I do not jump around with the board nor do I wear baggy ski pants, I have a racing snowboard and I go really fast carve like nobody :)
 
If it wasn't for gift certificates, I think the stress of Christmas shopping would kill me, or make me snap and start kicking everyone's ass ninja-style. Now I can just go right up to the counter and get the hell out of the place.
