So, the bike tour with my bro and his girlfriend was literally cut short.

I sliced my knee open while getting water. oh well. it's a-okay.

so, here's a small recap of my journey seeing as i'm totally suckish at typing now and i need to SLEEEEEP. XD

...actually, i can't really decide where to start. soooo much awesome stuff happened and so much just blurred together into a pulpy mess in my brain that i can't make sense of it.

I will say that i hit up three hotspings in two weeks. it was great. and we got to stay at Halcyon Hot Spings (which is an uber fancy pants resort) for FREE. we got taken home by a guy with a shoot off of the springs in his back yard. soooo nice. and we went to Halfway hotsprings a few days before that. it's these beautiful natural pools. they're amazing. and sooo relaxing. the last ones we hit were developed ones that weren't really hotspings, more like just hot tubs. oh well. it was nice anyways. and they were the only ones we paid for, but seeing as how i got a flat tire less than a kilometer away from them, we thought it was probably meant to be. XD So we got to soak for three hours. soooo nice.

and we went up Rogers Pass, the most dangerous-for-cyclists pass in all of Canada, or so they say...

...it was pretty much a speedbump. it wasn't even slightly difficult...well, slightly. but certaibnly not as bad as i was expecting. XD and when i got to the top i started laughing so hard that i fell over on the pavement, crying tears of mirth. XD

then when we got to the bottom of the pass on the other side i was getting water from a creek and i dropped a lid. so i chased it down the culvert and slipped in the water and sliced and inch long cut in my knee. it was also about a quarter inch deep. damn big. the funniest part was, though, that instead of going right back to the road and fixing it, i filled the water and THEN went back up. and by that time it was bleeding down into my shoe. which sucked. but it's a good thing my shoes are black. XD

then we had to kitchhike into golden with three bikes. we ended up getting picked up by a german doctor and his family in an RV, so it was all good.

and the doctor in Golden was insisting that i get stitches...he ended up being incredibly sexist about it. XD he was like "I guarentee that one day you will regret not getting stitches."

"But i like battle scars."
"Some day you're gonna want to wear a dress, you know." He said that 'casue i was wearing my brothers shorts. XD it was funny. then my brother came to talk to him and he was saying he guarenteed I'd regret it soooo much that we both ended up laughing right in his face. Personally, i love getting scars and i wear them like trophies.

I didn't end up with stitches. the slice is held together with bandaid sort of things. which is cool.

Unfortunately I'm now back in Sylvan and getting ready to go to school (BLEH) Oh well. I'll manage. I've decided to take my grade eleven and twelve in one year, thoug. hopefully i can finish eleven in one semester and twelve in the next. that way i can add an extra year onto my life. YAY!! Then I'm taking a train across Canada. which should be fun.

anyways, I'm going to sleep.

PEACE AND LOVE!!!!!!
