"are you serious?" I moaned, as i woke up from my 6.5 hour sleep.
"yeah. itz 5:30. didn't you hear the alarm?" My mom asked.
"nope." I replied, and sat up. I rubbed my eyes and yawned. My mom closed the door.
"hey shelb, i'm gonna turn on the light, k?"
"ok." she replied. "ow!! too bright! too bright!"
I laughed, and started putting on all my clothes. slowly, i crawled out of my nest, and into the living room.
"did you hear shelby's alarm? I didn't.' I said to mike, while wetting down my hair, so i could put it in pigtails.
"Oh yeah, we heard it." I shrugged.
"theres waffles in the toaster. " My momma says.
"dad! we have to go! itz six!" shelby wants to yell, but just repeats it over and over
. I go in the kitchen. "MOM!!! the fricken toaster isn't plugged in!"
we packed our lunch and went to the school, to get on the buses. we wait and wait and wait. Finally, the buses leave, and we make the three hour trip up to HOODOO.
itz dark. people are tired. itz 7 in the morning. I see snow. just a little dusting at first. then i look at the windsheild.
**********BIG BIG BIG SMILE************

*night before*
"O Grasious Goddess and God, please, bless HooDoo with some wicked new snow. it hasn't rained much here, and it would be appreicated. Blessed is my family, and friends, and may we be protected all of tomorrow. So Mote It Be."

Ok, so we're climbing the mountain, and i see lotz of snow. we must be getting close! hell no. 2 more hours.
Finally! we're there, we put away our stuff and go get our boards and boots. New stuff! new boards, bindings, and boots! groovy man! vans boots. soooo comfy! they dont force your legs forward.

we go up on the lift. Getting off needs a little help, i think. We go down the mountain. nice carving, no falls. I did it! lets do it again!
I go up on the lift. Getting off needs a little help, i think. I go down the mountain. nice carving, no falls. I did it. whoo hoo.
i go up on the lift. still need help with the falling part, but getting better. I go down the mountian fakie this time. board gets stuck in the snow. I fly forward. land on my butt. ouch. gonna feel that in the morning!

so, i do it again, positive i'm gonna get all the way down the bunny hill goining fakie. BAM!! three sumersaults, and my board is half behind my head, the other sticking up in the air! ha!!!! totally gonna feel that in the morning.
those were my only two big wipeouts.

lunch time came and went. we had to eat on the floor. ew. sandwhiches had warm mayo. ew. lotz a chocolate and not enough drinking material. ew.
we go back out, and hit it again. now, i can't seem to go past this place in the hill. everyone gets stuck at. itz like a time warp. your board slows down, and you fall. then you can't get back up and as soon as you do, you realize you're not goin anywheres. "Ahhhhh!!!!!!! have you seen my goggles?" Sierrah asks.(she was a new girl we met on the bus, who was hanging out with us.)
"no. you lost your goggles?! how'd you manage to do that?!" I asked dumbfounded.
"oooh. My dad is gonna be so mad!" she yells.
'What are you gonna do?'
"look for them, i guess."
"alright. I'm gonna go back up, k?' I tell her. she nods. "bye!"

she comes back. no gloves. "guess what?"
"hmm?" I ask, kinda disstracted. I didn't care.
"i lost my gloves!" she replied.
'no way. no way! you just had them!"
"I know!"
"i can't believe you managed to lose your goggles AND gloves within 10 minutes!" I yelled. I mean, how messed up is that?
"I can't either. I'm gonna be in sooooo much trouble." she replies.
"What are you gonna do?" i asked her, getting ready to go back up.
"well. I'm gonna buy some sun glasses. I'll be right back, k?"
i nod, and leave. ha! i get to go down again. and again.
she comes back with her coat.
"Why'd you buy a coat?" i asked.
'i didn't."
'huh?" (see, i'm a little slow. yup.)
"I decided to put it on. I brought it with me....?" She said.
"ohhh. ok. you wanna hit it again?"
"sure."
we go up. we go back down.
"hey, i think i'm just gonna head inside." shelby says.
I shrug, and say goodbye. "i'll see ya laterz, k?" she nods, and procedes to turn in her snowboard.
sierrah and i go down two more times, then head back in.
we get ont he bus, read, or whatever, and then wait for everyone else to get on. FINALLY! we're home! (or rather, Shelby's Home!)

damn. another two hour drive home. this blows.
