Toffee Vodka

Hey y'all, 'A' here, giving 'Georgia' a whirl, because I like the name.


J and I paid a visit to the Metro Ski & Snowboard show a couple of weeks ago, where we had lots of fun, paying many visits to the little stalls giving away free shots of red wine, free shots of champagne and free shots of toffee vodka. Truth be told, we got a bit drunk.


Then I spent an extortionate amount on a jacket and ski pants I had been eyeing up in Snow and Rock for quite a while, then I got said jacket and pants home and read the tag and realised they were 'snowboarding' clothes rather than ski clothes... which has worried me slightly and I am debating whether to return them. J has told me this is a ridiculous thing to do, because noones going to look at me and judge me for skiing whilst wearing snowboarding gear BUT he doesnt know what I know..


From more browsing of the Natives chatrooms, I have learnt that there is a difference between dressing like a 'Seasonnaire' and dressing like a 'Punter' and if your dress like a punter people will judge you, and pity you for your lack of insider knowledge. Seasonnaires wear bright, uncoordinated, really baggy clothes.
My jacket is black, because I like the colour black, and tightly fitted, because i'm comfier that way (and also, I have a banging body and want to show it off!)


Furthermore, apparently it's the done thing to take a second jacket - a 'pub jacket'. So you wear your fancy expensive jacket on the slopes, and then wear a second jacket, a cheaper one, to the pub, so you can dance/smoke to your hearts content, and it doesnt matter so much if you drink a bit too much and leave it behind. So I have another dilemma!! What sort of jacket does one wear to the pub?


In addition to this little pickle I have gotten myself into, I have started making 3 lists. They as as follows
1) Things to pack
2) Things to buy
3) Things to do before I go away


These lists are all really, really long. I have so much to do, and I didn't realise until now!
For example, I need to pack things like a calculator, various medicines incase I get sick whilst I'm out there, enough clothes to see me through for the next six months (scary thought... what if I get bored of the clothes I take? I really hope I end up sharing a room with a girl just like me, who will be totally up for sharing wardrobes!) Before I go away I must remember to get all my friends addresses, have lots of farewell drinks, practise my cooking a bit more and work out whether it is better to withdraw from a Natwest or Nationwide account whilst abroad.


This seems like a lot of work, so I'm going to not think about it just yet. I should also probably avoid the Natives chatrooms for a while. Im going to send my brother down the shop to buy me some chocolate and watch The Apprentice instead.
