Everyone tells me that I'm beautiful and have a great personality, but I've never had a boyfriend. So I think they're all liars.Maybe you intimidate boys because of your prettiness and great personality.

title: X-Games Robs Torstein Horgmo and Mikkel Bang- American Idol Style
time: 9:25 am
Pulled from facebook (http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=46196598874)... So I guess it was up to the american population to decide who should win the gold at the 2009 X-Games big air final.How to you think anyone with a name like Torstein Horgmo could win over someone with a name like Travis Rice under those circumstances?Or what's up with Mikkel Bang's PERFECT ss bs 1260 getting 8% of the votes against Travis Rice's 92% for the double back bs 180 in the earlier round?! The X-Games people should be ashamed for even considering this form of judging, and they should feel even more ashamed for actually using it .To quote Todd Richards:- "Torstien would need to cure aids and herpes to win plus do a 14.000.000 (rotation)" Seriously.., what makes americans qualified to judge this by texting in their opinion? So wrong.78% voted for Travis Rice.. come on.. granted Rice´s trick was great, but not as great as Torstein´s.We all know americans love backflips and backyard wrestling:) Combine that with a name like Jeremy Jones, Eddie Wall, Shaun White and you don´t have to be a rocket scientist to figure out that Travis Rice would have won the gold even if he would have done a backflip.From what I heard (read: rumor) half the texts were in before they had even jumped... real professional there ESPN/X-Games. It would have been pretty funny if Travis would have fallen in all four runs against Mikkel and Torstein since he would have still won.. haha.Then ESPN/X-Games would have had some real apologizing to do. Wonder how this form of judging would fly at the olympic figure skating event?You have some girl who´s got the looks/name of someone like Sienna Miller or Jenna Jameson (or similar) against a girl with a better performance but with a name like Olgur Karkalinotjef and looks like the unibrown girl from "Dodgeball".Hmm, I wonder who America would text/vote for... As I see it X-Games need to make a public statement that this was a horrible idea and that the people in charge for making it happen were fired and they should be fined a couple of thousand dollars each for letting this happen. Then X-Games should pay Torstein whatever the 1st price purse was + his incentives from DC (which is probably considerable).That´s the LEAST they can do to try and make this right. Actually they should compensate Mikkel too. His trick would obviously win over Rice's in any contest with actual judges and he got 8% of the votes! Mikkel should have been the one battling Torstein for the gold.How do the X-Games expect anyone to take them seriously when they treat their riders talent like this? Embarrassing. Isn't there a board of people that decides how to judge the event? Who are they and what were they thinking? I have a hard time believing that anyone with knowledge and love for snowboarding was part of making this "have-americans-vote-by-texting" a reality. So next time.. please consider talking to people "in the know" before ruining an event. I can totally consult, I'll even help with camera angles and editing (yes you can improve, a lot). I´m glad I wasn´t there. I would have been soooo mad (well I still am, but I´m like 8,000 km away). And after this post I bet X-Games will ban me from any future events anyway.Mikkel, Travis and Torstein, I like you all and you are such amazing snowboarders. But you deserve your riding to be judged by people who are just as good at judging like you are at snowboarding. Peas / Pierre Labels: snowboarding, X-Games date: Thursday, January 22, 2009
title: rocks and watermelons
time: 2:02 pm
So there I am sitting at my desk going through mineral assessment files that all have douotangs that look like they have rock print on the covers. Makes sense being a geological survey in all, until I got to the douotang that looks like a watermelon on the outside and the inside of the watemelon on the inside (what a concept). Did we run out of normal douotangs...Labels: random, watermelon, work date: Tuesday, January 20, 2009

title: blog it up
time: 9:17 am
It seems that I haven't acctually written anything actually important/interesting/relevent in a long time (as if I had ever written anything important/interesting/relevent in the past). But I am going to try and write about what is going on in my life right now.Well so far 2009 has been kinda crappy, but operation "be a happier person" has been initiated. I still have no plans for school or the future at all, but I am saving up to buy an ipod and a laptop and a car. I need the car soon, same with the ipod. C didn't tell me he was seeing J, but facebook did. I thought we were going to try it out... guess not. This means that operation "Year of the boyfriend" is in effect. And currently my hairdresser/friend/dance bud is trying to set me up with one of her clients...could be interesting. In other news, the new watch is awesome, but a little too snug on the bone so I have to find somewhere where they know how to take it apart and then put it back together again. Our Xbox broke and now I don't have anywhere to prctice my Shaun White skills which sucks. It finally got sent out today, but I did get a little Shaun White kick in when his new movie "Don't look down" was on TV on sunday. The weather has been so nice here this week, its kinda driving me crazy. Plus its not warm enough out that the air condition should be turned on, but I guess someone thinks it is, crazies. I recently made a new twitter account http://twitter.com/MissFildes maybe you could check it out in your free time? And I know this has been a really long paragraph that really includes nothing important, but I felt that it needed to be shared. It is like having a diary that other people can read, but it helps with the anxiety problem (says the doctor) and its the only place where I can say it and not be laughed at/judged/ or questioned.

time: 10:48 am
Hannah Teter held this auction for her charity in Africa (all the money goes towards helping people get clean water) and I bid and won three things:1. An AWESOME Nixon watch 2. A wide funky Burton belt 3. A burgundy Burton Toque They are fantastic and they came in the mail the other day! And although the shipping fee was crazy high, its totally worth it in the end. I enjoy shopping online ♥ I hate it when the shipping costs more than what you bought. I mean, really, was it THAT hard to get it here?
