Guitar

WATCH OUT. Legit, I am the next Joan Jett.
...without all the tatoos, piercings, drugs...etc etc etc
I had my first guitar lesson and I think I missed my calling. I absolutely love it and I absolutely have no idea what I'm doing. I can play the major chord and the Jaw's theme song. Because it's two notes. On the same string. Using the same finger. Whatever, let's not get picky.
So I show up to class and no one has any idea what they're doing. Jesus bless this poor professor because 1/2 the class doesn't speak English, 1/4 of the class didn't bring a guitar (...and you were planning on strumming.....what?) and then there was me and this other girl who couldn't stop laughing the corner. Cue the class clown. Why is it always me.
But everyone stopped laughing when I pulled out an almost $2,000 guitar. A bit much for a girl who doesn't even know the names of the strings? Maybe. But when do I ever do anything half way? Within a week of joining the triathlon team my freshman year I bought a bike and all the fixings to go with it. Katie sees, Katie buys.
Well...I didn't buy this, I stole it from Chris. Small, insignificant details.
I just can't wait to actually be able to play stuff I want to. Like Tracy Chapman and Colbie Caillet. This is something I've always wanted to be able to do and now I finally have time to do it. Next up: learning to speak Russian.

Then I can play guitar and sing in Russian.
Life is good.

Love love love,
me

Snowbasin 2/9/2013

FINALLY found a badass chica to hit the slopes with! YEAH! Yesterday the visibility was about 0 but it was a solid day at Snowbasin. I took my GoPro along with me and then edited it into a video that looks semi-interesting. That's Kate on the snowboard, the camera is attached to my head so you get a solid look at the fog and me falling a few times. Skiing/Snowboarding Movie

Weekend

As promised, here's a blog about my weekend - I know you've been sitting on the edge of your rolly computer chair waiting for it with bated breath. Friday after my guitar class, which went not-so-fabulously, as per usual, Chris and I had a little adventure to Harpoon Brewery where we met up with my ever beloved (and apparently much talked about) bff Dave. It took us a little adventuring and a little guessing to get there but we made it there and home with lots of "I have a hunch this is the way to go"-ing. It convinced me fully that we'd be great on a European back-packing trip together. We don't fight, we don't argue, we don't get frustrated, we just laugh and follow our gut. Which led us to beer! Isn't that what Germany is all about?  Anyway, Harpoon was awesome. You just go, hear about beer, and drink all you want. I picked up a growler of the cider - highly recommended. We literally guessed what bus to get on to get home and turns out it led...
