The hot ones know they are hot
Category: quotables | 6 Comments
Today I learned from some real-live 21 year old boys why the social scene here in Incline is weak. It's because the girls are "really stuck up, and there aren't that many of them, so the hot ones know they are the hot ones and they won't talk to you, but like in Santa Barbara the girls are all hot and they talk to you."
They also told me I "don't look that old" so that was cool, but clearly since I definitely do talk to people, I am either too old or insufficiently hot to be counted as an Incline girl. I am O.K. with that.
I'd write a better/longer post but I am way busy here on the couch, working ...

Kelly says this is why she will never un-friend me no matter how many times I bug her about how does my hair look and does she hate me, because I always win things (and I am good at sharing things I win with her, like visors and backpacks and beer money at the ball game) and because I know everyone. She came to my cyclocross race yesterday, where I won $100 for fourth place (?!?!) and I was apparently talking to ALL the spectators, during the race, and she heard a lot of "go Courtenay's!". Kelly was impressed, I can tell.
And I am enjoying this newfound security in our friendship.
So now I'd like to share a ...

A revival of “Quotables”
Category: quotables | 5 Comments
Back when I lived in the Bay Area and like actually hung out with people all the time, I had a frequent blog category entitled "quotables" - basically, funny things people said. Unsurprisingly, this category has been ignored for most of the past year here in Incline! Which is a bummer, because it was/is one of my favourites.
Anyhow I have a couple good ones from the bike race this weekend...
1. Guy (who I have met before) is chatting me up:
Him: So yeah, I'd love to take you on a date next time I am in Tahoe.
Me: That would be cool.
Us: bla bla bla for like 10 minutes
Him: What's your name again?
Um, huh? I forget people's names too but there is ...

Dave Towle, the voice of bike racing in the U.S. and the voice of tomorrow's 5430 Long Course Triathlon, asked me this today.
How sweet! I was so flattered! This has to be quote-of-the-year for me, at least in regards to my sport, and I'm adding Dave to my list of people for whom I will race hard tomorrow.
All my readers are on that list as well... thank you so much to everyone for your kind words and moral support, it really means a lot to me :) .
Now it's time for some light reading, I am debating between the most recent In Style and the most recent Inside Triathlon... Hmm, Rihanna or Michael Lovato? Rihanna might win. "Umbrella" ...

Outfits
Category: enjoy the blog, quotables | 2 Comments
There are several vocab words that I like but that Greg says are downright wrong. I call my "swim cap" my hat, my "helmet" is also my hat, all "shoes" are sneakers, including cycling sneakers, and "uniforms" are outfits. He does not condone my use of these words. Yet recently Greg and I were watching the movie Hoosiers and during one of the scenes...Me: Is that their home outfit or their away outfit?Him: I think they only have one outfit. Me: HAHAHA you said "outfit"!!!Him: Well that's what it is, isn't it? Their outfit?Me: You are a boy, you are supposed to call it a "uniform".Him: -resigned embarrassed silence-And ...

Ups and Downs
Category: enjoy the blog, my favourite, quotables | 7 Comments
I guess it was about time to have a "down" sort of day, since everything's been going so well lately. I am going to cheer myself in a public sort of forum with a few random quotes I have been saving up...Bike Racers on Triathlon Logistics:"So after you finish the swim part, do you like really quick change into your skinsuit and then jump on your TT bike or what?"How Annoying Words Like "Booyah!" Come Into Existence"Instead of 'ginormous' I am going to start saying 'egantic'. So it's enormous plus gigantic, instead of gigantic plus enormous. Whaddaya think??""Hm. What's wrong with just saying 'big'?"Not Everything Soft is a Kitty"I am snuggling something ...
