How to...Feel Like You've Been in a Car Accident Without Really Being in One

Snowboard. Seriously. For the first time. And fall down. A lot. And go down runs that are harder than anything you've done that day at the end of the day, because the guy who got you into the whole craziness in the first place and helped you purchase your snowboard pushed you to do it, despite my cries that I was going to die pretty much the whole way down. (Thanks, Brendan! You're a sport, and yes, it was the best run of the day!)

On Monday I went snowboarding for the first time, and it was insane! I loved it! I face planted a good number of times, fell down twenty times more than that. Though the best one was when I tumbled over my snowboard twice, heard some kind of bone creak, and I thought crack, and laughed as I realized that there's nothing to do except get up again and get down the mountain!

It was a rush. You know, I'm not a huge dare-devil when it comes to thrill-seeking sports, but this one, I think I can definitely get into. And it will be awesome.

Now, on the downside...I woke up on Tuesday morning and couldn't lift my head off my pillow. It was funny. Really funny. And then once I finally got my head up, I realized that my shoulders, abs, and back were quite opposed to getting up. So I laid there for a while until I finally got over it and made myself get out of bed. Man it hurt so good.

And I didn't even take any pictures. How lame am I?

Maybe I'll get some next time I go during the day...
