(no subject)
I am absolutely shattered.
Woke up at 7:20-ish after having not slept much to drag my sorry ass all the way to Liverpool for an interview. I reach too early, of course, and had to faff around in WH Smith for ages. They have real plenty crap there. I saw some of the dudes from Hollyoaks while I was waiting for my interview. Yeah, I didn't really care much either.
Again, I thought, huh, they look just like they do on TV.What else would they look like, right? Happened every time I went to a concert too (Except when I went to see Hoobastank 'cause Doug looked a lot more like a dolly than I would've thought from the vids and pics, but I digress) Maybe I think of them more like cartoons than real people? I dunno. Anyway.
And then I missed the train by, like, literally a minute. I actually saw it pull away. Arse. And so I had to faff around for another hour, and when I finally made it back, had to rush to get to snowboarding.
And holy crap, snowboarding is a lot harder than it looks. I could barely get the board strapped on (fos I fat and unflexible) and then I couldn't stand up without help, or the one time I managed on my own, without promptly falling over. I could kinda get down the little slope like, you know, natural sideways, but that frontways thing for the slowing down and the stopping? Not so much, no matter how many times she yelled at me to lift my toes or whatever.
I'm already feeling it. Didn't even wait for the next day to kick in. Just when the kung fu pain finally wore off...
