Replying to Girlfriends and Skiing

every year of high school so far, i've had a girlfriend starting in the fall, nothing has lasted past febuary, all because of skiing. 'I don't think it is working out, i never see you because you are always skiing' is the gist of the line i get everytime a girl breaks up with me. Girls need to realize, as most girls on NS probably do, that skiing usually comes before girls, especially in highschool. Four girlfriends gone because of skiing. At least i know skiing will never leave me.
I go to the US on a ski trip and meet this american girl. She asks, 'where are you from?'. I answer, 'Ottawa, Canada'. 'Where's Ottawa', she replies. Oh man ...americans...
