Another decent weekend
Last weekend was fun and action packed. After my last post, I got off my butt and went out to meet some people at a bar for some swing dancing. It was pretty good, as I'm remembering all the moves that I once knew! There were fewer people than I expected in the group I was going to meet (i.e. one girl and one guy), but it turned out ok. Didn't stay for long, since I had to get up the next morning to go to....
The Bike Show! and the Ski Show!! The bike show was insanely packed...this is the fall one which only happens for one day (the spring one is spread over three) so all the people that would normally be spread over three days end up coming in one and it is absolute chaos with no room to move. I bought 4 pairs of socks and a pair of biking gloves, 50% off. Then I moved on to the ski show, and found a pair of Rossignol B2s for $400!! What a deal! I couldn't believe it. Now I have my dream skis! so I'd better get my Blue Mountain seasons pass some time soon (before Oct. 24th).
After all that excitement, I went rock climbing with my friend, which was fun even though I suck. When I came home I cleaned up my bike for the race on Sunday, and then ate dinner with parents and some guests they had over...YUMMMMMMY! And finally, another friend invited me to the Mod Club afterwards, which was also pretty interesting.
Then Sunday was my last University Cup Mountain Bike Race ever! And I'm happy to say that I did pretty well, finishing 7th of all riders eligible for series points, and 6th overall over the whole season. I also beat most of the people that I had been close to for the previous races, and nearly caught some guys that I never used to be close to. So overall it was a very satisfying race and day. On the way back in the bus, we amused ourselves with riddles, which is frustrating while also being fun.
That was the weekend...yesterday, I worked as usual, but also went to meet a girl that I have been communicating with in Lavalife, for coffee, a walk, and then dinner. It was pretty nice I guess, we seem to get along and stuff...but still I think of my ex, even in the middle of a date with someone else! It's pretty annoying. I don't know if it's going to work out with this girl, but who knows...I guess I need to start seeing other people anyway. The most annoying part is going through the 'get-to-know-you' phase all over again. It is so much work, and so stressful. Things are so nice once you know them already.
Bah.
