Thursday last week (16th of June): Wow what a perfect day to take off work and go down to the beach and hang out near the boardwalk of Ocean City, MD. Thats exactly what we did. Laurie, myself, Boehm and Erin. Not exactly sure if the day could have turned out better. laid out in the sun a good portion of the day, and got into the surf and played around. Was some really good times. Then later in the night we played some mini-golf to which i keep losing to Laurie in, to which i just say is just luck ;). Then we got food at BJ’s on the water-front of the bay in Ocean City.
Weekend: I was jet-skiing for the first time ever at Laurie’s uncles place. I wasn’t able to drive myself cause i needed a permit thing that I forgot to do the online course for the week before, but i was able to ride along. I made one error in my judgement on this endeavor. It was thinking that my girlfriend, a very sweet girl, wouldn’t in fact be trying to throw me off of the jet ski by turning really hard or going fast or doing something silly like that. I was wrong of course, and by the time we got out on the river a good distance from land sure enough she made a turn an easy one at first, and then she really cut into it. Too which of course i hadn’t readied my balance on the thing yet and wasn’t leaning into the turn so there i go flying off into the water. Of course i just passed it off as that I wanted to cool down and get in the water anyways so that seemed like the opportune time. I only fell off once more, but the second time Laurie, in fact went with me. Now I’m not going to say i pulled her off the jet ski or not, but she came off with me, and in fact i felt her slipping off before i lost my grip on the thing. So lets just say thats in history and need not be debated who did the falling and who did the throwing exactly on that turn. I had the chance to go water skiing, but declined for Saturday. I want to do it, but I just wasn’t’ feeling as up to it for whatever reason. I sorta wanted a beer, and realize that was counter-productive to water sports ;). So I’m sure we’ll be down her uncle’s place again, on a good day for water skiing so I can give her family a good laugh at me learning to do it.
when do we get to see pictures?!
I didn’t take any pictures myself, we have a few on Laurie’s or Erin’s camera i think though, haven’t looked at them other than the little LCD screen though yet. I thought of bringing the Lomo.. but realize i didn’t want to chance getting sand in it haha.
well, you’d better get better about that, pal. we haven’t even seen any pictures of Laurie, yet! (except i think i saw one, but i think you sent me a link over AIM, right)
there are a couple random pics up on my site under the “random snapshots” album, if anyone cares. i wish i had taken more.
Noooooo…the pics from the beach are AWFUL of me! I’m goin back to the gym…starting tonight!
I feel so mysterious…I guess I’ll have to give him some pics I like and maybe no one will think I really look like I do in the yucky ones! :)
I didnt know you needed a permit to ride a jetski! ooops.
Yeah, in Maryland if you’re born after 1972 you’re supposed to have one. http://www.boatsafe.com –you can get it online.
