Sorry Chris, just don't feel like talking about it right now.

Quite alright, but congratulations on 9800.

FUNNY STORY I JUST THOUGHT OF!

Well, sort of funny.

Probably one of those "you had to be there" stories...

Whatever, I'm telling it.

So, my girlfriend and I have been friends since we were freshmen in college. I sat in front of her for a few weeks in the first Chemistry class I took. Our first major encounter, though, happened on a snow tubing trip. When I say major encounter, I do not mean romantic (as you'll soon see), as I had a girlfriend at the time, and we didn't even consider dating until last spring, over two years after the incident I'm about to tell.

So I was going doing down the hill with seven of my friends. We formed a huge chain. (It was actually because of our trip that the rule was made at that place that you could not send more that two people down in a chain at once.) I was in front because I was the heaviest, and we thought that would give the best speed. My now-girlfriend was in the lane to our right, going down the hill with four of her own friends. They went first.

About halfway down the hill, I lost my grip on the tubes behind me and got separated from the pack. I actually ended up way ahead of them. Meanwhile, my now-girlfriend's group had reached the bottom, and she got separated form them, went up the ramp at the end of the lane, and came back down into our lane. I saw her just too late, and couldn't slow down. She saw me way too late and couldn't escape. Despite my best effort to bail, I ran face-first into her shoulder. I toppled over top of her and my tube flipped up on me, and hers on her. Then my seven friends arrived. I rolled over twice as they as all seven of them ran over some part of my body.

Once the ordeal had passed, I asked her if she was alright, and she was, fortunately. I was as well, at least mostly. When I got to the lift to take me back up the hill, a little girl, no older than ten, pointed at me and said, "Your nose is bleeding, Mr." It was adorable in a sense, the way she said it, but how right she was was significantly less adorable. I had a nice-sized gash on the bridge of my nose, and there was definitely some blood.

Anyway, the point of the story is that a little over two years before I started dating my girlfriend, I ran face-first into her shoulder at about 35 MPH. Interesting how these things work, isn't it?

EDIT: And then I found $20. (Just in case.)

Also, "sacapuntas" is my favorite Spanish word. I just thought you folks should know.
