snowboard sex and semantics
i haven't even had chance to update since i've been on vacation. so much to say so liitle time..i have 15 minutes to update while david takes a shit in my bathroom in vermont. yes.
so vacation started off with a bit of shopping on the friday before leaving. i took my time going though the usual stores near st.georges. i fell in love with a marni dress but alas the 300+ euro price tag was a bit too far fetched for me. i ended up coming back though for a pair of hermes clip on earrings that i'm sure my grandma would love. i also ended up buying a short/suspender-strap type one-piece that i know will look awesome with my marni shoes. that evening david and i went to ikea to just look around. he wasn't feeling good still so i made him some homemade chicken soup. i keep on surprising myself, and my tastebuds, with my cooking skills. anyway, the soup was awesome and totally cured him more than any french medication could ever!
david and i got to new york monday evening and i think right away the mere fact of stepping foot in the us made him so happy. my parents really welcomed him, kindof like i was welcomed by his family. i know it was much appreciated. he couldn't get over the enormity of everything. on tuesday we went running in the woods but i wasn't feeling too well. on the way back we happened to pass by the firestation which evoked some curiosity, bien evidement. luck was on our side cause we were able to talk to one of the retired firemen who showes us all around. david was in his glory. i also got to see an old friend from highschool who really has changed, weight-wise. the rest of the day was pretty 'tranquille'. i wasn't feeling so hot so we didn't do much but hang around and eat dinner with my parents which--as boring as it sounds, pleased david just find.
wednesday we took the train up to vermont and had a fun time amusing ourselves during the 5 hour ride. we took tons of ridiculous photos etc. the snowboard conditions on thursday were absolutely awesome. sun, snow. perfect. we ended up staying out till the closing, which i never do cause i usually call it quits sometime after lunch. with david thought it's different. he makes me want to snowboard cause he's just so relaxed and fun. we really have an awesome time together. he's a much better rider than me (15 years experience compared to 8) so is able to give me lots of pointers. he already changed my stance and made me ride my first rail! youtube. video of that will be up soon. today was lots of powder and lots of falls. but it was still super fun. i honestly am having a ball up here with him, laughing all the time and just being cooool. it sucks that the communication is tough cause his english is so-so and i feel bad that he can't express himself the way he would like to. sometimes i feel like the way he comes off in english is not all all the way he is in french, and it sucks cause i want everyone to see what i see. but i gues it doesn't matter. it's so strange cause sometimes i feel like he is the most awesome person in the world and i am so lucky (which is true and i definitely am lucky) but other times i just like..almost can't stand him. there's like this dorky, only-child characteristic that sometimes comes out of him that i can't quite figure out but doesn't exactly please me. but i know it's just stupid and it usually passes, but it's weird how i can feel like that from one minute to the next.
well i have to go, 15 minutes are up and someone is waiting for me in bed. tomorrow we're getting up early again to hit the slopes. wish i could write more and have more time to reflect on the last week but so far the vacation has been pretty eventful so i haven't had much time.
