Sorry to hear about your uncomfortable consequences, whatever they may be, have a lot of things going on in my head too, it is after 4am here after all! It can be annoying. At least you have cake to look forward to!
My sister has just started up surfing, and keeps trying to get me out. She has rounded up our extended family and goes out in the cold cold sea these days. Think I'll be happy on the beach. Although i only have one more test to do to be a lifeguard, which I haven't gotten around to doing in years, then I could be paid to watch them. hmm. Looks like fun, but body boarding is the closest I've came to it. Odd to think you are in work on something on a monday and we are still in sunday mode. /take that long post, aha

aye, it was weird at the time, then really uncomfortable the next day, and i said it to a freind and her reaction kidna confirmed to me that it was really just.. arrrgh... yep. uncomfortable and line crossing and secrets and all sorts of ugh.
but yes. cake. clsoer to 4.30, really... (which is awesome, i leave in 5mins, gotta skate hard to get to the bus lost and found before 4pm and try get back the phone that i bought less than a week ago >_<)
GO SURFING!!! it's just one of the greatest things in the world! plus, as a beginner, you'll be too busy paddling for the horizon that you don't get to feel teh cold. i'd recommend booties and a hoody though, with your wetsuit. not necessary, but will make time in the water more comfortable. I used to body baord up in donegal for about 6years every summer, easter and halloween... man i loved it... in hindsight, twas almost inevitable i'd get into surfing.

Ah I see, that kind of thing, plagued me for years in college.
You like 12 hours ahead of us? Good luck getting the phone. I've lost my 8 year old beast dozens of times, but I guess nobody wasnts to steal it you see!
My sister is in donegal with my cousins atm, surfing her brains out no doubt.
Most of my cousins are paddling as you say, one just stood up and started surfing lol, never having done it before.
I just lent her a few hundred to buy a surfboard. So she will be bringing that home. She has tried to explain all this summer wetsuit and winter wetsuit and things to me, sounds quite warm anyway, hoodies and booties sound weird! Must try it anyway, swimming is good exercise.

when you put it like that... ha, ditto. though more years of secondary school, followed by a few months in college... and was actually the reason i dropped out. man, thanks for that reminder! :P
13 at the moment, and woo! i got it! huzzah! it's a pretty old model, i'd imagine one of the first to get a colour screen. cost me $60, which is about €25-30.
i know i, for one, spent most of my learning to surf time just trying to get out the back, and trying to paddle past the waves. much better at it now, but some of the bigger days can get the better of me.. .and my local beach with the prevailing winds, tends to have this wicked drift, so it's like trying to get past a river for about 8m of the paddle, so you'll tend to end up a half mile to the left of where you left from.
my bro did that, first lesson, within 20mins, he was standing on his board, by the end of the lesson he and his mate had caught a wave together, stood up and jumped onto the others' board. bastids.
haha, one thing i love about summer wetsuit here... there is none boardies and a tshirt and away we go. hoodies sound, look and feel weird... but when faced iwth the alternative of instant brainfreeze every time your head meets the water... my hoody.

You get around, I was posting all over the place last night, oh my. Some hilaious conversations on instant messagers anyway.
Good news! Sounds like my phone, got it for 230 or 320 I can't remember, it was the first colour phone we had ever seen. You seem to have got the better deal!
We have dangerous beaches around here, reknowned for drowning so i'll try a safer one. In fact I did one day body boarding and ther was all these little waves...then I turned my back and the biggest waves I've ever seen came out of nowhere on a sunny day. Remember laughing at everybody running hehe.
Oooh, hope I'm like that, if skateboarding or rollerskating or iceskating has helped my balance. probably a lot of paddling to be done.
Surfing would be so much more appealing in a warmer country, but then you would have sharks. i saw a picture of a guy surfing in australia and you could see a big ass shark in the wave under him, eek!
Dog is called Buddy. We didn't call him anything really, and used to call him buddy jsut by chance, so it stuck. Have 5 kittens. Originally had 2 and one has just had kittens herslef at 6 months old so now we have 5. The mother is called tumtum(after the three little ninjas -_-), the cat the same age as her is called Samhain. The three young kittens are called Freddie, Tony and George. they are awesome, You could watch all the animals all day. It was funnyw atching the kittens learn to walk. They can jump so high but didn't know how to use their legs right so tehy were walking on 4 springs and bouncing all over the shop! Now they are flying all over the placce confusing the dog, confusing themselves, jumping over each other and general fluffly wrestling. Buddy doesn't know how all these cats are multiplying and seem to be able to climb walls now. He cocks his head and goes into professor mode when he sees them, you can see he is thinking hard! They can hump so high and to get down they try and walk along the wall vertically downwards, it's pretty cute... Oh I better stop talking about them, or I will go on for ages.

skateboards are just surfboards for concrete! if you're into skating, then check out the film Lords of Dogtown, excellent film and really important for the interactoin between surfing and skating.
love samhain as a name. mate of mine has a wife, three kids, 7 cats, a kitten a rat and a frequent visitor dog. cats, im not mad on, particularly ebony, who flirts outrageously with visitors, getting them to think she wants to be petted, and then clawing you if you go near her. or just walking up to you and jabbing her claws in you. god i hate that cat. but anyway, they took in this wee kitten, pagan, and it was just the cutest thing watching her grow up. she got on so well with the dog as well, she was like her little puppy. the other cats had to sneak around so that pagan wouldnt chase them and get billie (the dog) to back her up. or the time the rat bit one of the cats that was nosing around his cage, only for one of the cats to appear a week or so later with a dead (wild) rat in its mouth, and sit outside the rat cage, looking in, chewing on this dead rat. i swear, people dont give animals enough credit on the communication front.

I could have a look, but I wasn't exactly the best skater ever and all my skateboard does now is hold up a PS2.
