So, this weekend I went on a snowboarding trip with YoungLife, and lets just say it was quite an adventure LOL!! So, the the whole thing started Friday after school when everyone had to meet at the little blue church down the street from school. We were supposed to leave at like 4, but you know black people can never be on time!! j/k, anyways, 8 people (me, Blair, Markisha, Bob, JJ, Morgan, Mike, Carlton, Elliot and Geoff) and 3 chaperones (Monica, Vernon, Sterling) ended up going in 2 cars...well, a mini van and a land rover. There was NO room in the van, everyone was on everybody else, but I'd be lying if I said it wasnt fun! I've always known Blair and Markisha were crazy as all hell, but Bob, Morgan and Mike were on a whole different level. Wont go into details, or else i'd be here aalllllll night long.
It took about 4 hours to get from Westchester to San Bernardino county where Big Bear is, then another 2 hours to get far enough up the mountain to have to put the tire chains on. So, Vernon puts them on, and Sterling leaves us (well, it's not like he could've stopped and pulled over....or could he have?). It's like 12:30 in the morning, and we're driving up the mountain. We get to Big Bear Lake at about 2, and do not know where to go. So basically, we're lost in the snow for two hours until Sterling comes to get us...with everyone else in the car!! (we figured he didnt know where he was going either). The entire time we were "lost," everyone was saying and doing the most retarded things because we were all delerious. I mean, people were saying that my idea to adopt a coyote and name it Scooter was a good one. So yeah, we didnt get to the cabin until 4am, and I could not find my phone (turns out it was in the car under the seat, but it was 4 in the morning, so of course nobody could find it)
Day 2:
We woke up at like 9 am, took a shower in cold ass water (thanks to Mike), didnt get a chance to eat breakfast, and went straight to the snowboarding place. Now, im not going to lie, I SUCK at snowboarding!!! I fell everytime, and, since I just had on two pairs of regular gloves on instead of snow gloves, due to me falling, my gloves got wet...and FROZE!!! I mean, they were completely frozen, and my fingers were suffering!! They were soo cold they hurt!! And cant forget about my boots!!! Words of Wisdom: Rain boots are NOT made for the snow. Me, Blair, Markisha and Monica had to find that out the hard way. Thank Oprah they gave us snowbaording boots, or else our feet would have been completely frozen!!!
Well, due to us not eating in the morning, we were STARVING by the time we finished snowboarding. Like, straight up ravenous, and spent probably about 30 mins walking around Big Bear Lake trying to find a freakin restaurant before we finally decided to go to the effin store.
(well, yeah, im tired as hell, and i'll finish and add pics later)
10 years later!!!! LOL, well yeah, im not adding pics...hell i might, just not to this particular post.
Anyways, we go to the store, I get some pop tarts, we have an inappropriately long convo about Porn in the car (and I accidentally proved to everyone that Im a freak...no questions please!! lol), then we go back to the cabin, eat, have more crazy, yet far more appropriate, conversations all night until we went to bed. Next day, we went sledding, then we go home.
We knew we were back in LA when we got out the car and the air smelled like ass, gas, and ramen noodles....
