Aw man, I remember watching the visually impaired alpine skiers four years ago. Blindly following a guide down a mountain? Serious cojones required.

[x-daredevil.livejournal.com]

how do you think I ski?

well, let me rephrase, I've never been skiing. But if I did, that's how I would.

still blind, still need a guide at least at first to teach me that way before I take off with my powers to guide me.

I am a "hands on" sort of learner :P

[x-barrier.livejournal.com]

Well, congratulations, then. You've got cojones.

I'm a Latina from the barrio. Not like I know anything about skiing, blind or not.

[x-daredevil.livejournal.com]

You're from New York and el barrio. You have cojones too. You don't have a choice.

So let's go skiing.

[x-barrier.livejournal.com]

That might be your worst idea ever.

[x-daredevil.livejournal.com]

NEVER!

sounds like fun!

[x-barrier.livejournal.com]

...you know how many medical injuries are caused by skiing?

[x-daredevil.livejournal.com]

but it's FUN.

[x-barrier.livejournal.com]

Says the guy who has never been skiing.

[x-daredevil.livejournal.com]

okay, true.

but you do realize I do aerial arts like silks and ropes and things? and trapeze? and I'm a trained gymnast?

pretty sure skiing is no worse than what I generally already do.

[x-barrier.livejournal.com]

No the hell you do not.

[x-daredevil.livejournal.com]

yep.

twice a week I go to the aerial gym in NYC, plus I train and workout here, too.

[x-barrier.livejournal.com]

Fine. You're in the best shape of your life, apparently. Let's go skiing.

[x-daredevil.livejournal.com]

AWESOME!

it'll be fun!

[x-barrier.livejournal.com]

Sure. If by "fun" you mean "death-defying."

(If this is part of some elaborate prank to get me in a ski suit, I swear to God...)

[x-daredevil.livejournal.com]

get out of your bubble and live a little Cecelia!

you'll like it!

[x-barrier.livejournal.com]

Yeah, yeah, yeah, fine.

Let's fly down a mountain like crazies.

[x-daredevil.livejournal.com]

WOOHOO!!!

awesome!

Are you too good to do what the rest of us have to do with the regular Olympics and stream the events online?

Besides, it's not like you can actually see the feats of athleticism on the TV anyways. So don't be an ass and hog the TV.

[x-hawkeye.livejournal.com]

I still totally object to you making me be conscious at 3am for curling or hockey or whatever it was you were making me watch, that was inhumane.

[x-daredevil.livejournal.com]

how is wanting to watch the Paralympics in an accessible format that I can't get online being an ass and hogging the TV!?

I almost NEVER use the TV!

Share, Pryor.

[x-wildchild.livejournal.com]

There's more than one TV, don't be a shit.

[x-daredevil.livejournal.com]

....how is wanting to use the big TV for this being a shit!? I NEVER use the TV practically!

It's nearly a month away!

[x-wildchild.livejournal.com]

Dude, there are like four big screen TVs. And big doesn't fricking matter for you and no one gets dibs for a week.

[x-daredevil.livejournal.com]

I'm not going to be glued to the TV 24/7 Kyle! Holy hell, way to blow this way out of proportion here! I was excited. but way to pee on everything.

This is the first time it's really being broadcast in the USA, it's a big deal.

the big TV has better a sound system.
