Snowy '04-'05

[The Cyborg]

It snowed like mad yesterday where I was...
And guess what, a day before the holidays, I had to work!

Well anyways, one of my jobs was getting carts from the parking lot into the store, and well, this equation explains a lot...

Crazy weather+Crazy procrastinating people=

It was fun nonetheless, some other workers almost got hit by unnecessary speeders though...

It was crazy windy too! And I was slipping on the ice wherever mother nature intended for me to slip. Weeeeee!

I just remember old times when my dad's side of the family used to live here in Maryland. They would come over on snowy days, and I have pictures of me building a snowman with my Godfather, Uncle Phil. I miss him a lot, he lives in California now. I haven't seen him for about two years now, but I do hope to see him soon.
Sledding also was a big thing with our family, since we'd go each year to the middle school that I used to live right across the street from and just sled with my brother. One of the few times he and I connected. I really miss those days. *sigh* Man now I'm becoming all nostalgic..

This is always a fun story to tell.

When I was in 5th or 4th grade maybe (i really don't know, it could have been middle school), I was sledding with my friend and his brother down this big hill, and we had two of those flimsy plastic two person sleds. So, I was in the back of one os the sleds with my friend, and his brother was in the other one; we were all going down at the same time.

Then my sled hit a bump that shot me out of the sled. So as I was slidding down the hill on my butt, right behind the sled with just my friend's brother in it, I hit another bump and landed in the other sled!!

We laughed for about 10 minutes straight after that.

Hehe. Ok, so it was February 2003... (Corey will remember this one, too )

<edit> Ok, never mind, he beat me to it LOL </edit>

We were competing at a national Model UN conference in DC, and that whole week goes fine... Heck, it was about 50 and sunny. THEN, it decides to snow on about the second to last day. Let's just say Mother Nature didn't stop. We got about 2 feet of snow, and DC really wasn't prepared for it (which was a big change because, my team being from Michigan, we were used to seeing tons of snow plows).

The hotel let us stay for free, I think (I don't quite remember). We ended up staying there for about one week... and since we didn't have competition anymore, we ended up riding elevators, roaming through Georgetown trying to find random places that were open, and having plenty of snowball fights.

We had fun seeing the Puerto Ricans react to the snow, because they'd never seen it before. They were so excited!

Quite a few people got stuck in the snow in cars because they had never gotten that much snow... so we helped them out, too. We had fun knowing that we were able to have a great time and help people out at the same time.

Fun times .
