Catchin' Up

I went on a date a few weeks ago and i have been meaning to put up pictures, but i just hadn't gotten around to it. It was a triple date with my friends Lori and Alex. My date was Charley. Lori's date was Sev, and Alex's date was Buddy. We went out to eat at a fabulous little restuarant named Mi Concina's, in downtown Fort Worth with amazing Mexican food. Then we hung out in Barnes & Noble for a while. We looked at books. Played on the esclator, and played a few silly games while waiting. We were actually being kind of a little loud because we were laughing so much, but *shrug* it's not a library. Then we went to a comedy club named "Four Day Weekend." It was pretty funny. Overall I had a really good time. :)

New Mexico, Part III: Pond Skimming

On the last day of our ski trip they had a event at Sipapu called Pond Skimming. They basically dig a huge hole at the bottom of one of the trails and fill it with water. Then they have skiers/snowboarders come down the mountain and try to skim across it. You may be asking yourself why people would do this. I mean the water is very cold. Actually there was snow and ice floating in the water from time to time, if that gives you any indication. And on top of that most of them went without shirts or in shorts, or in one case with a teal leotard and hot pink wig on. Yep that's right. People are crazy. Most made it all the way across and back out the other side without going in. A few didn't though, and in one case i got very wet videoing.

New Mexico, Part II: Gangsta's

Several weeks ago I posted about putting up videos of myself and my life. I also mentioned Breanna and how she spices up my life. When we were in New Mexico i put on this hat in our cabin and decided i looked pretty gangsta' in it. Breanna also looked pretty crazy with her long johns over her shorts. i decided that we needed to make a video. We decked ourselves out as "gangsta's" and made the following video without rehearsal. Yep. we are ridiculous.

New Mexico, Part I: Al vs. The Mountain

Winner: The mountain.

So I went skiing for the first time ever last week. We went over to New Mexico to a little ski resort call Sipipu (pronounced "Sip-A-Poo" yep, that's right) in Carson National Forest. It was beautiful. I love mountains. Love, love, love them. I took a lesson my first day and was doing pretty good. The slope we were on could barely be called a slope, but i was learning how to slow down by moving left to right, etc. So i went up a little later onto the smallest of all the hills. A green trail, the bunny slope. I went up with Debby and Tom (people i live with). I fell twice and then on my third try (about halfway down at this point) i fell again and twisted my ankle and knee pretty bad. I tried to walk down the mountain a few minutes later, but after some talking into they conveinced me to sit while first aid came and looked at me. So...up comes the first aid guy. He decided i might hurt myself worse if i fell while walking down the mountain so he went to go get the stretcher. oh no... By the way, i just so happen to be sitting close to the chair lift and everyone that passed was like "oh no, are you okay?" or "do you need some help?" which was nice, but embarrassing. So Michael (i think his name was) came back with the stretcher on skies. He strapped me in and down we went. Then he got me crutches and i hobbled my way over to his little first aid hut. He decided it was probably just a strain on both my knee and ankle. I couldnt ski the rest of the trip, but i watched other people ski, i slept, and read a book. I still had fun. I think i will try skiing again. but not anytime soon. :)

Hey i was up there for a second.

Rockin the PU!

This was my second fall. The third one is the one that did me in...

First Video

Remember in a previous blog when I said that my life is boring and it would be silly to put my boring life on video and expect other people to watch it...well here you go. The first video documenting my life in Texas. My room!!!! How exciting...I know. I really don't like this video. I think I am acting really weird...but i got nothing better. so have at it.

p.s. Don't judge too harshly on the messy state of my room. Everything I own is in that room. One whole apartment's worth, all boxed up.

A Night at the playground

My friends Lori, Charlie, Dewey, and I all decided it would be fun to play on the playground late at night. These are our adventures...

As you can see we enjoyed the slide the most, I think. :)
