Ice was what all that popped in to my head when I registered shortly after making the transition from roller hockey to ice hockey. (it was very exciting for me)
I like extra ICE in my Diet Coke...
Yeah, I guess I'm just not very creative.
I did have to wear a jacket today, it was chilly. (for a wimpy Californian anyway)

When I first moved from Alberta to the Bay Area, I went and took a road trip with my roommate (who was from the East Coast in the USA) to Tahoe. When we arrived, they said we couldn't continue cuz we didn't have chains on my cars. I didn't undertand what in the world they were talking about because in Alberta when you go to Banff in the winter, I don't believe you have to put on chains (at least you didnt when I lived there). So I still dont know why some places use chains and some dont. But yeah, I did have to wear a jacket cuz it was cold up here in San Jose too...for a wimpy climatized Californian. I dont know what Im going to do when I go to Cowtown for Christmas. My just told me there's a bunch of snow there...when I was there for US Thanksgiving, there was no snow (just a bit on the ground but none falling). Good thing I dont have to drive there, or Id cause a LOT of accidents!
