Welcome to Gretel's Bizarro World

Boardin' Day

Today was a boardin' day. Fresh fresh powder, it snowed about five inches in the city. Boarding was SwEeT! I did some work on carving. I'm getting a lot more comfortable going fast. I also did another fun box, and then a thinner box, but wiped out at the end. Later I wiped out flat on my face (well it was the second time of the day) but this time I knocked the wind out of me and hurt my shoulder muscle. So I sat out for an hour and read Watership Down. It was a very exciting book.

Yesterday was pretty slow. I went to Target and filled out some "paperwork" as they called it. Which consisted of driving down to Wheatridge and taking a drug test.

I picked up Wilson after class and we made some dinner. Mmmm Mmmm Jello goodness.

Then I went down to the weight room to train. I did ten lbs. The weights kept clinking together in my backpack. But I didn't notice cuz I was busily thinking about pi. 400 digits in 45 minutes isn't bad when one is trying to block out the TV noise and the clinking and not fall off the treadmill.

Wilson and I watched Northfork which was a pretty crazy movie.

Well I'm outta here.

Love Gretel

Name: clueless

sorry to show my ignorance, but what is a 'fun box' and a 'thinner box' ? And how many ways can you hurt yourself on them?

A fun box is like a rail.

If this is a rail:

This is a fun box:

A thinner box, is just thinner than that, like 3/4 the length of your board. Boxes are like six inches from the ground at the end, you don't have to jump to get on them. And if you fall there's really nothing to hurt yourself on. They're not metal like rails. Don't worry. You don't go fast enough on them to do any damage.
