Last friday, saterday and most of sunday, i was up at tahoe. Its really beautiful this time of year and we were blessed with great weather. I really only had two misfortunes on this trip and one of them wasnt even really mine, wait no, i had three for me and one for my bro so that would make 4 misfortunes altogether. The first thing that went wrong, happened while my brother was driving me, my mom and dad up to the snow. As i looked around outside the window along the freeway, i spotted at least for policemen who were pulled up along side a car giving them a ticket, or standing between the two people who's cars had smashed into each other. As Justin came to a gentle stop behind the line of cars stuck in traffic i again looked out my window to see a cop on a motercycle directly across from me. "Hmm, thats funny that we stopped right across from a-" CRASH!!!!!!!! A huge semitruck came careening down the highway to smash full speed into our tiny honda.....!!!! Just kidding. ; ) it was only a land rover going half speed but he hit us hard enough for me to jerk slightly forword in my seat. My mother gasped, justins eyes went wide with panic and my dad started twisting around in his seat calling, "What was that?!?!?!" Remembering the police man across from us i quickly looked over at him. He had seen the guy rear end us and was writing down, i guessed, the guys license plate on a yellow notepad. We pulled over on a shoulder of the highway and i heard the cop tell my dad that they had had 8 accidents in the last hour. He's certainly got his work cut out for him today, I thought pityingly. So the next three things happened on the slope. My family used to ski, but this time, we decided to all try snowboarding. I have been snowboarding once before, with Catie and Michelle and let me tell you, they are great teachers. As soon as i got up on my board i remembered everything they had taught me and made it down the slope in a record breaking 30 seconds. (I just won't mention the fact tat the slope wasnt very long) The second day is when it all happened. We went to north star and man was it packed! Everyone spoke a different language; Chinese, Japanese, Swedish, Germain, Spanish and a whole lot more. The people who did actually speak english spoke it with a british accent which i thought was very entertaining. So anyways, the first thing that happened was when i was half way down the slope(this slope being VERY long) and was waiting for the rest of my family to catch up with my. I began to feel a little bit worried when an asian boy who was seemingly having a hard time steering, started coming directly at me. My fears were justified when right as i decided i had better get out of the way before he completely took me out, he regained enough balance to steer around me, but unfortunately, not enough to not clip the edge of my board and send my flying down the hill. " Sorry!" I heard him call as he continued zumming down the hill. The second misfortune was much like the first, except this time the positions were reversed. I was the one who actually lost my balance and starting flipping down the steep slope twords a guy who was sitting in the middle of the snow, probably waiting for someone. i managed to stop myself before i hit him and i could see the relief on his face that i was feeling. "Wow, im sure glad u got that cause for a while it was looking kinda ---" for those three lines just use your imagination and you'll probably come up with what he actually said. The third and last thing that happened was probably the worst. My brother and i had decided it would be fun to go to the back side of the mountain, so, seporating from our parents, we took a different lift and started over to th other side. There came a part when it was flat and we had to unstrap on foot to propell us onto the next part. Watching my feet to make sure i didnt slip, i saw a drop of red appear on the white snow. "Oh no...." i murmmered hoping with all my might that it wasnt what i thought it was. To bad. It was. I groaned as a fountain of blood burst from my nose and stained the snow crimson. Staggering over to a wall of snow i dropped to my knees and watched with disgust as all the snow around me was dyed a bright red. Justin stumbled back to where i was and sat down next to me. "Here" he said, stuffing a fistfull of snow in my hand and motioning for me to cover my nose with it. So thats how it went for about 25 minutes. Justin would hand me a handful of snow, i would stick it under my nose and when it became too saturated with blood, i would toss it away and he would give me another clump of snow. By the time it stopped it was getting late and we only had time to go twice down the mountain. So those were my misfortunes on my snow trip.

wow, that was some trip. Though ur misfourtnes are paled in comparison to my adventure last year. =p
lol, no catie that was just funny. ;)
was there much snow?
yah, it had just rained here so there was alot of snow.
Wow, what a trip.
u know, I haven't gotten a nosebleed from high altitude...I wonder what it feels like...
wow. For some reason trips do seem to always exagerate the bad things that happen during them. Was the rest of it pretty fun?
i'm pretty sure it feels like a regular nose bleed. it just kind of sneeks up on u.
well, i dont no if it was cause of the altitude. nose bleeds are a pretty regular thing for me. yah the rest was pretty fun. but ryans rite, it does sneak up on you.
I think it's safe to say that your trip wasn't so lucky. :D And I thought my trips were unfortunate..
u should post something
our worst fears confimed. Kayla has forgotten how to type.
Augh!!! No!
You need to post!
kayla...i know ur life isnt THAT boring
Exactly- You should have something 2 post on.
Haveyou lost all connection to the internet??
Wake me up, when Kayla posts...
(to the tune of "Wake me up when September ends")
She must have been abducted by aliens... That's gotta be it. You can sing all you want, Ryan, but this blog is now officially a ghost town.. ;D
nahh...she ran away and joined the foreign legion. That's what everyone does when they dissapear.
pish, this is nothing compared to my brothers blog. it has been exactly one year today since Johnny's last post.
Did he run away and join the legion?
Or was it aliens?
Alright, maybe Johnny went off and joined the legions (I'll give you that), but I'm pretty sure Kayla got abducted by aliens...
no, she learned that she can teleport and so she's ditched us all so she can go around the world and rob banks. THat's it. ;) Send me a check will ya Kayla, i could go for never having to work.
P.S. i know this guy that's a paladin, mite wanna watch out for him, since he's sworn to kill you. Real nice guy tho. ;)
for those of u who havn't seen the movie. THat was making fun of Jumper. A movie with the DUMBEST plot i've ever seen. its fun to mock it tho.
Come on, Ryan... Jumper didn't have the dumbest plot!
...it didn't even have a plot... ;D
it did... it just jumped all over the place (ha, ha, ha) so befor u could even tell it was there, it teleported away.
lol alright guys. thats enough. ha ha, that was pretty good though. 'jumped all over the place.' ha ha
:gasp:
She's back? What happened? did you teleport back? how do the aliens look? Is life in the legion tough? Are you sending this from jail?
Oh yeah..."that's enough"...:D
we'll just ponder
Jumped all over the place?? That joke was almost as cheesy as hayden christensen's acting was... Anyways, that being enough, lets move on to a different subject..
yes, very cheesy... anyways... I'm glad ur still alive Kayla. we were getting worried. i never believed that u were abducted by aliens though... i was totally going for the jumper thing
Wow, Kayla is back! And alive... I could have sworn you were Imperator because of the fact that you have no avatar.. (no offense.)
Looking foward to the next post to where you will explain how you survived being abducted by alie-- I mean, why you've been gone so long.. :D
Ryan, You've seen to many movies (or at least too much of one movie.)
hey, i can't help it if Jumper leaves itself open for thousands of puns. Its going to b a franchise so u better get used 2 hearing them, i'm sure they'll b many mor.
u know, 2 get back on the subject of the post, the misfortunes on my snow trip were way worse. We lost my brother for 30 minutes after he crashed into a tree and fractured his pelvis. ON that note, post something else, please.
oh my. wow, im very sorry. ill try to post on something else but i cant seem to come up with anything
You had better. If you don't, then Daniel will fracture his other pelvis... wait...
yes Laz, u do hav 2 pelvises, or is it pelvi, pelvese, pelvis'? whatever, i knew that's what u were gonna ask.
