I was in a huge hurry getting out of NH to hood in may, I was trying to raise funds for a trip that i wasnt sure was going to be able to happen 5 days before i left, i fucked up royally shipping everything out at stage one, mixed and matched adress details and shit, i was super scatter brained. I decided I was going to be able to go on a wednesday and then left saturday...my mom called me and said everything was jammed up at the PO becuase im retarded, so I emailed her the adresses, but she just said she would send it out to me when i got an adress situated, that took a couple weeks, the stuff never got to me though, i guess my ma never got around to it. I had no money, which i realize is not a valuable excuse, but its the straight up truth, I owed my buddy 400$ for putting up my half of the apartment we got after a month of sleeping on a homies floor. I payed him back but needed to be sure I had enough $ to make it from Hood to colorado for school at the end of august, so extra cash had to be held onto. when i got here i got a refund check for $1500, but i had to put up 900$ of that to get my apartment here after a month of camping cause my roomate couldnt put up her share and the rest had to go to books. BUT my savior came in the form of a gaper yard sale, I found apair of 5 or 6 year old Rossi 9S's with FKS bindings on them for 30$, sold the skis on ebay for $75 anf the bindings for 140$, that gave me the $ to pay people back. i still got a bit to pay back, but i have some more stuff on ebay that will take care of that. I have paid people back before ive bought myself a pass or new gear, both of which are greatly needed. i dont expect any sympathy and im not trying to put out excuses, i just hope this makes it easier to understand.
