Another Sleepless Night

Yay! Got some wireless signal from one of our neighbors and spent the last 2 or 3 hours surfin' the net! The best part of it is that I don't even need to worry about goin' to bed any time soon, since I don't have a job anymore.. lalalala =P Plus, everybody's sleeping already! Including our 5 or 6 guests.. It's sooooo peaceful here! Today I went up the Blackcomb mountain with Bianca and Alejandro, the snow was fucked up, but I had fun anyway and made some really nice turns. After Bianca went home, me and Alejandro decided to go up to Glacier, but I had trouble with the stupid fuckin' T-bar and fell when I was almost gettin' up there. I tried to hike, but my lungs are shit and at some point I just couldn't breathe anymore, so I quit. We went down and then everything became foggy, I fell down on my head when we were almost gettin' to the Village, it was sooooo bad!! I think that was actually the first time EVER that I cried up there! hahahaha =P

PS. Hey, I'm alright, of course! :)

Strange Days..

Whistler is starting to look more and more like when I first got here, last year, just before winter. While everybody's excited about spring, I just can't wait to get outta here. I've been trying to keep myself busy since I quit working, but it's kinda hard once you have no money and live in a small town. The morning after Ben went away, I actually made it to Pemberton. It was such a nice day and I just felt like driving away. There's nothing special there, except for some really great spots to stop along the road. Damn, too bad I forgot to take my camera..
The day after that, I went to Four Seasons Housekeeping party at Brewhouse and later on Buffalo Bills. It was really nice to see everyone and the night at Bills was pretty good! Well, maybe TOO good, since I ended up wasted and Alejandro had to drive me home.. but that was just after we spent almost 20min freezin' and looking for the damn car, as I couldn't remember where I parked it earlier.. The next day we went to Squamish, stopped along the way to make a short trail and spent the whole afternoon at Wallmart. We couldn't believe how cheap things are there and I almost went crazy shopping, but then I remembered that I needed to start saving money for the trip, so I just bought food.. damn it! We got back around 6 or 7pm, it was raining so much that I ended up stayin' at home..

God, I'm sooooo BORED! >.<

Ben Is Gone..

As the months turned into weeks and weeks turned into days, I found myself trapped in a no-winning race against time. Ben went back to Quebec yesterday as we both knew he would. We spent our last day together in Whistler, went to a paintball game with some crazy people from Four Seasons, packed his stuff and drove around at night to get some pizza. We got stucked after parking in front of the museum to eat. The damn car wasn't starting, the key was stucked and everytime we tried to start it, we got nothing but some panel lights and annoying sounds. I was fuckin' freezing and worried about how to get outta there and how much would it be to fix that piece of junk, when Israel came and saved the night just ten minutes left to get to the bus loop. Ok, except for the fact that the car is fuckin' haunted, there was nothing wrong with it.. The thing is, I'm not used to drive automatic cars and I didn't notice that I forgot to put the gear in P when I stopped. I felt so stupid, but I was so glad that the car wasn't broken that I didn't really care.
As we got there the bus arrived.. earlier than expected, so I had no time to say good-bye, which I guess, in a certainly way was for the best, as I'm sure I would have cried a lot.. So I walked back to the car, waited for their bus to go and then drove away. I tried to get to Pemberton, a city 30km from Whistler, but it was 4am and I was falling asleep on the wheel, so I figured that would be better to turn around and go home..

"The District Sleeps Alone Tonight" - The Postal Service

Smeared black ink... your palms are sweaty
And I'm barely listening to last demands
I'm staring at the asphalt wondering what's buried underneath
Where I am
Where I am

I'll wear my badge... a vinyl sticker with big block letters adherent to my chest
That tells your new friends I am a visitor here...
I am not permanent
And the only thing keeping me dry is
Where I am
Where I am
Where I am

You seem so out of context in this gaudy apartment complex
A stranger with your door key explaining that I am just visiting
And I am finally seeing
Why I was the one worth leaving
Why I was the one worth leaving

D.C. sleeps alone tonight

Where I am
Where I am
Where I am

You seem so so out of context in this gaudy apartment complex
A stranger with your door key explaining that I am just visiting
And I am finally seeing
Why I was the one worth leaving
Why I was the one worth leaving

Where I am
Where I am
Where I am

The district sleeps alone tonight after the bars turn out their lights
And send the autos swerving into the loneliest evening
And I am finally seeing
Why I was the one worth leaving
Why I was the one worth leaving
Why I was the one worth leaving
Why I was the one worth leaving..

The Car

So we bought the car! We made it to Vancouver, made some calls and went to Surrey. I know it sounds quite stupid getting the first car you see, and I have to admit, we didn't even check the car.. well, I mean.. we checked the tires, started the car and drove it around, but besides that we really didn't know what to look for. Neither me nor Chris understand shit about cars and it took so long to get there that we knew we had no time to be picky. The minivan is kinda rusty, but what can you expect to get for a thousand dollars? =D Surprisingly, it runs really well. I drove it back from Surrey to Whistler that night and it was soooooooo nice!

I guess I didn't realise how much I missed driving at night..

The Search

Meeting Chris in a few minutes and heading up to Vancouver, so we can look for a really cheap car for the trip :)

I explain later..
