Deep Creek Lake was an excellent trip! Good food, good times, new and good peeps.

I have no real complaints - considering there were almost fifteen people of various races and backgrounds chilling in one gigantic half of a house, and I'm pretty sure that only two knew *most* of the people there. There is always a little bit of (shyness) tension when people first meet, but luckily the tension eased thanks to BOARD GAMES. Yes, board games. I'm sure the booze helped too. And the hot tub!

cranium - scattergories - catchphrase - mad gab - clue - rummy

I can get along with most everybody, and as one newly met acquaintance said, "girl, you just blend." Yeah, I guess I do. I hung out with the husband, the two other white dudes, the one dude's gal, the juice, soon-to-be-mrs. juice, the lesbians, the juice's cousin, and the three random chicks the cousin brought along. It was a very...eclectic mix to say the least.

The main reason for the whole trip -snow tubing- was excellent as always. Or, excellent as the last and only other time we did it. There is nothing quite like taking a running leap onto your stomach onto a giant inner tube. And then sliding down a mountain. And spinning. With ice pellets shattering your beautiful dry winter skin! (what a rush)

The mountain coaster (new at Wisp this year, apparently) was not half bad either. Strap yourself into a single rider coaster car, listen to the attendant explain the hand brake system (wtf) and GO. They drag you up the mountain. Then you coast down the mountain. The hand brake is your best friend, suddenly! There are signs and various flashing yellow or solid green traffic lights. YOU ARE INFORMED WHEN TO BRAKE! And rightfully so. There's some tight ass curves on that coaster. Rawr.

Speaking of rawr, I recently bought a onesie for a coworker's not-quite-born baby with a dinosaur on it. Not so out of the ordinary, you say?

(the real reason I bought it? the dinosaur said RAWR!) It don't get no better.

And the toaster in the house? Seriously, it had a damn cancel button. I can hear it now:

"I didn't want toast! I thought this was just a chamber for separating the slices of bread!"

I crack me up :-)
