Well last night I went over to Todd's house and we ate dinner, then we tried to think of something to do. Couldn't think of much since it was raining out :( ...we decided to go play pool. We played 3 games. I won one cuz Todd scratched when he hit the 8 ball in. heh. Then we went back to his house and just watched TV for a while til about 1, then I went home and went to bed. I was pretty tired.
I didn't wake up til around 2 today, it was good to finally sleep in as long as I wanted. I went to Amber's house with Brittany and went in her hot tub. We talked about our boys and stuff and sipped lemonade. it was nice to hang out with just them for once. We hung out for a couple hours then I came home and ate some food. Then I took a shower. Now I'm waiting for Todd to finish cleaning his messy room, who knows how long that will take, lol. Then we're going to go fishing. Maybe we'll actually catch something big this time, but probably not, lol. We're going to the Jack Johnson concert in Virginia on Sunday, it should be fun. We're camping out on Sunday night at the campsites they have there so we dont have to drive home all late. I love camping! Well, thats all for now. Cya

On Saturday morning I got up and got my bathing suit on to go surfing. I drove to Todd's house and we got everything ready to go to Delaware. We drove down and got to the beach. The waves looked totally shitty. We put some quarters in the parking meter anyways and went down to the beach. Some fisherman guy told us this was a fishing beach only, but Todd told him it was a surfing beach. He went and asked the lifeguard to be sure, and the lifeguard said we had to go further down the beach. So we had to take the car (and wasted like $2 on the meter) and drove to another parking lot. We had to pay $7 to park there. We walked down to the beach with our boards and checked it out. I put on Todd's wetsuit which was way too big, lol. The water was still pretty cold. Todd only had a rashguard and trunks on though. We paddled out and started riding. I finally got the hang of the shortboard, it's so much smaller then the longboard and harder to balance on, but by the end of the day I could stand up on it a couple times. I rode the longboard a little bit too and caught some waves. We had bought a waterproof camera and I took some pictures of Todd surfing. He took some of me too. Then I went out on the beach and then these dolphins were swimming like 20 ft away from Todd! I ran out into the water with the camera, but by the time I got out there they had moved away a lot. I was so close to them though, you could see baby dolphins jumping out of the water it was really cool. I've never seen a wild dolphin that close before. We surfed for a while longer and then decided to stop. Todd's knees were all scraped up from some sand that got in the wax on his board. I got some new bruises on my hips and a few scrapes on my feet. We walked back to the car and put everything away, then we drove around looking for a shower. we found a little foot shower thing and washed off a little. Then we bought some food and ate and then drove home. We decided to go to one of Todd’s friends places for a keg party in College park. I drove home and took a shower, then drove back to Todd’s. I wanted to drive cuz I knew he’d be drunk by the end of the night, lol. So we drove all the way to College park and met up with his friend Lauren. It was this girl Nicki’s birthday, and she was already drunk when we got there. We went up to the room and started chillin. Todd started drinking and had a beer bong. Then they started playing circle of Death. I didn’t have anything to drink. It was so funny watching people get drunk. Todd’s friend Lauren was mumbling stuff by the end of the game, we couldn’t understand a word she said. They had this rule where u had to say meow before and after every sentence. It was soooo funny. Todd drank like atleast 10 cups of beer and did another beer bong near the end. They wanted him to do a kegstand but he said he couldn’t cuz his stomach was so full of beer. Around 2:30 (I was supposed to be home by 1, woops) we left and I started driving home. Todd fell asleep and he was holding my hand. I was so tired and I had to drive with one hand on top of it. Not easy. We got back to Todd’s house and he woke up “what, we’re here already?” lol… I walked him to his door and said goodnight. I drove home with the windows down and the radio up trying to stay awake. As soon as my head hit the pillow when I got home I was asleep.
Sunday I got up around 1 and got ready for Todd’s softball game for his work at Bank Annapolis. Todd picked me up and we started driving. He didn’t know exactly how to get there so I called my dad to see if he knew. He told us a short way to get there. Todd said the game started at 2, and we were running a little late, so we actually made it there on time. Only the game didn’t really start til 2:30! But oh well, better early then late. So we waited for his team to get there and warmed up a little. I’m surprised I can still throw. We started playing the game, I was in the outfield with Todd and 2 other people. I didn’t make any plays because nobody really ever hit to me. When I went up to Bat the first time I struck out. I was pissed, but the next couple times I did ok. I made a few runs for the team. We played two games, the first we lost, and the second we won. It was really fun. After the game I went back to Todd’s house for some BBQ with friends and family. We ate some ribs, chicken, beans, and other good stuff. We talked to his uncle and his cousin Tim and his girlfriend. Then Tim singed off some of Todd’s arm hair with a big lighter, haha. After we ate we decided to go fishing. We picked up some worms from his grandparents house and put on some bug spray. We went down to the pier and started fishing. I caught the first fish, a tiny perch. Tim caught one too. I went for a walk after it got dark and saw some cute baby ducks, and an osprey. When I walked back Todd said that he reeled in my pole and he had caught a fish while I was gone. There were these guys setting crab traps in the water by us and they caught a fish in it! It was bigger than any of the fish we’d caught (about 8 inches) and they said we could have it. So Todd chopped its head off on the dock and cleaned it out. Then we went back to his house and cooked it on the grill with some leftover ribs and wings. It was yummy! We sat outside eating and it was really nice out. Then we went back inside and watched a little television. Some interesting programs on Cinemax that night, heh heh. Then I went home around 2.
On Monday I woke up late and talked to people online. I decided to go over to Phil’s house with Brittany and Alisa. Went over around 8 and nobody was there yet. Alisa had to be home by 10:30. Phil made me and Brittany some drinks with Vodka and Sprite and some sweet stuff. It was good. We played some beer pong (well, me and britt didn’t have beer). We lost by one cup. Man. Around 9 people started showing up. 2 guys came and started playing circle of death with us, it was so funny. We did the rule where u have to cuss in every sentence, and we did a bunch of never have I ever’s that I got called out on, lol. I had a little buzz going for a while until we had to leave around 10:15. I went back to Brittany’s and we talked to people online. Todd was out with his friends apparently, I really missed him. We hung out til about 12 and then I drove home. On my way home Todd called my cell phone and I started talking to him. He said he had been out fishing and drinking with his cousin and Matt. I missed all the details but somehow he got nacho cheese on his car, and he doesn’t remember a lot of the night, lol. We talked on the phone for about 2 hours until he started falling asleep. I didn’t want him to fall asleep on the phone again, so I got off and went to bed.
Today I got up and talked to Todd online about going to lunch, so I drove to his work and picked him up and we went to Fuddruckers. We ate and talked and he looked so cute in his work clothes. Hehe. We went to McDonalds to pick up something for someone at his work and then I drove him back to the Bank and said bye. We’re gonna do something later tonight, I’m not sure what just yet. Well now I’m just sitting around, might go make some cookies and then take a shower. Cya later!

Well Friday night me and Todd went to downtown Annapolis and walked around a little bit, we went to this surf shop and looked at some stuff, then started walking around looking for a place to eat. We couldnt find anything we really wanted so we started thinking of places to go. We thought the Olive Garden would be nice, but we didnt know how to get there so Todd called his mom to find out. Turns out they were on their way to eat somewhere too, so they asked if we just wanted to meet them there and we'd both have dinner together. (oh my gosh). So we drove to the Olive Garden and waited for like a half hour and then got seated. It was pouring rain outside. Our table was right next to this window and we could see the lightning and stuff, it was cool. Then we got our food and we were all talking and they were asking me stuff about my parents and I told them about my grandpa and how he cooked Italian food a lot. Todd's dad was impressed that I liked outdoors stuff, and that I bait my own hooks, lol. When we finished dinner we could see the fireworks from the baysox stadium through the window. it was really cool! Then after dinner I thanked his parents and then we went back to my house for a while. We spent the whole day together and still wanted to hang out. Todd didn't leave til around 2 again.
Friday, June 13, 2003
Well I havn't written anything in about 2 weeks, so this is gonna be a long one. I'll try to keep it short and sweet. Last time I left off was after Brittany's Graduation party. My work never called me back so I'm guessing I'm fired. lol. Me and Todd went fishing and we caught like 10 little perch. Todd caught an eel! it was weird. It was a lot of fun though. Todd thought it was cool that I dug up and hooked my own worms, lol.
The next day we left for Ocean city for Beach week! I drove over the bay bridge for the first time. It was really cramped in my car. Amber and Andy were singing and Brittany and I were trying to shut them up. We finally got there after a 2 hour drive and we checked into our rooms without any problems. Then we headed down to the beach, it was a pretty nice day on friday. We got some scopes of us on the beach then we went and sat by the pool. We didn’t go in because the water was sooo cold. We went to the boardwalk later that night and we ran into my sister who bought us some wine coolers. We went back to the room and I drank my first alcoholic beverage ever. I lost my ‘alcohol virginity’as Brittany calls it. Later on we played frisbee on the beach and then just hung out in the room the rest of the night. I was trying to stay up the entire night since Todd would be there at 5am to go surfing. But I was so tired and I zonked out around 3. I set my phone alarm clock to wake me up and then Todd got there about 5:30.
We went out onto the beach as the sun was just coming up. It was really beautiful. Todd went out into the water and started to surf and I took some pictures of him. It was pretty cold out. Then after he was done we took a shower and then we walked down the boardwalk as all the shops started opening. We walked all the way from our room on 20th all the way to the Inlet. It was nice, we talked the entire way. When we got back we went to Assateague to see the wild ponies. We took some pictures with them, they weren’t afraid of us at all. We went back to the room and Todd and Andy went out surfing while me and Britt and Amber hung out on the beach. We went on the boardwalk for a while and ate dinner at Higgins Crab house. Later on Brittany, Amber and Andy went to a club. Me and Todd were really tired though since we hadnt gotten much sleep the night before, so we stayed in the room and uh... took a nap ;) really we did! When everyone got back a couple hours later we drank a little and played circle of death, some drinking game. Then everyone got sleepy and me and Todd slept on the floor while Brittany had the bed to herself.
We woke up the next morning and we were going to play mini golf with Alex and Nate who had just gotten there, but somehow Brittany ended up going with them, and me and Todd stayed in the room. Later on he went surfing, it was really nasty out though, really windy and misty. I cleaned up the room and then everyone got back and we had some lunch, there wasn’t much to do since it was a nasty day. That night it was a little better and we walked around the boardwalk. Todd and I rode the Ferris wheel and tried to avoid eye contact with the carnies. Haha. We got some thrasher’s french fries too, mmm with lots of vinegar and salt. That night Brittany decided to sleep over in Alex’s room, so me and Todd got the bed, woo hoo.
That morning Todd had to leave to go to work. I saw him off and then went back to the room to sleep some more. Later on we went on the beach. It was much nicer out then the day before. Then we went on the boardwalk (yes, AGAIN) and Alex was on the phone with his g/f for like a half hour and everyone was kinda pissed. Oh well. We ate some food and that’s all I really remember.
The next morning was check out. We packed everything into the car and went out on the beach and played frisbee and then fell asleep on the beach until around 1. Brittany decided to drive home with Alex and Nate. Me and Amber and Andy left a little earlier and it started raining about 20 minutes into the drive. Amber and Andy fell asleep in the backseat (thank God, their singing was starting to get annoying) and then I dropped them both off at Ambers house and went home. It was a really fun week and I hope we get to do it again later this summer.
The next couple days were just for chillin, I hung out with Britt and Alisa the next day. And just basically whatever for the other days. Then on Thursday me and Todd went with his friend Chris on his boat to this island in the middle of the Magothy River. It was soo cool! We built a fire and hung out. It was really neat. Then we went back to Todd’s house for a little while and then went home to pack for tomorrows trip. We planned to go camping Friday through Sunday for Todd’s Longboard competition in Ocean City. So the next morning I drove to his house and we packed everything up into his Blazer and drove off too the eastern shore. We both forgot some stuff... I forgot my sleeping bag, and he forgot a pillow. We stopped in Salisbury to check out this place he might be staying at when he goes to school in the fall. The girl seemed pretty nice, and the room was decent. We talked for a while then left to get some essentials from the grocery store: Spaghetti- O’s, Reddi Whip, Bread, Hotdogs, and smores stuff. We got to the campsite and set up the tent. After that we headed to Ocean city for my very first surfing lesson! I was so excited. We met up with ASC members Rod and KC on the beach on 37th. They let me borrow one of their smaller wetsuits and I put it on (which wasn’t the easiest thing to do) We headed out to the water, surprisingly I wasn’t even cold with the wetsuit on. I had Todd’s shorter board at first, but I wasn’t catching anything, so he let me use the longboard and I finally caught a ride into shore on my stomach. It was so fun! I knew I had to try to stand up. After a couple tries I actually made it up onto my feet! I was so happy, it was the greatest feeling! I paddled back out to Todd who was just as happy to see my first ride. We surfed for about 4 hours straight, I was a little tired, but not too much. It was so exciting, I just kept saying to myself “just one more time” and it kept going like that, lol. Then we finally did stop and we got out at like 6:00. We changed and then went back to the campsite. We jumped into the pool to try to get some salt off, but the water was soo cold. We went back to the campsite and changed, then we made a nice little fire and roasted some hotdogs on it for dinner. Todd made some potatoes on his little grill and we had some of his mom’s salsa. Then we made some smores! Mmm! Todd bought me some Smirnoff Ice Triple Black and I drank like 1 and a half bottles of it and I started getting dizzy. I felt like I had taken some nyquil or something, I couldn’t stand without practically falling over. It was so funny. For a minute I had to lay down in the tent cuz my head was spinning. I finally got up and went by the fire and listened to Todd sing and play the guitar. It was really nice. I started feeling better and I sang along with him to some songs. We heard the competition was postponed til Sunday since it was supposed to rain, but we werent sure. We tried to call Rod but my dumb cell phone died. We just figured we’d call in the morning and find out. Then we put out the fire and hit the sack. Since we only had one sleeping bag, we had to buy some sheets too, they didn’t do much good, but we kept each other pretty warm.
The next morning we woke up at like 6 and called Rod from a pay phone. He confirmed that the competition was postponed. So we went back to the site and started a little fire without using any matches or anything! Then Todd cooked us some Spaghetti-O’s for breakfast on his grill. Since it was supposed to rain Todd started setting up the tarps I had brought so the rain wouldn’t soak us.. Just then we started feeling little drops. We had good timing because within the next half hour it was POURING rain. We hung out in the tent and slept for a little while, then we got up and took showers and then decided to go over to Foon’s (one of the ASC guys) place over in OC and hang out. So we drove over there and watched a surfing movie, it was pretty cool. We sat outside watching the waves and talking for a couple hours, then we decided to get some lunch at Denny’s… well, I had breakfast, but same difference, lol. Then we went back to the campground and played some dumb arcade games, played pool, and air hockey. Then we went back to the tent and layed around for a while. Then after it got dark we went over to the country bumpkin jamboree as Todd called it. People were singing karaoke and dancing, so since we had a little bit to drink we got out on the floor and were dancing a little bit, even tho I sucked at it. Then we slow danced to George Strait. It was so nice, the first time we’ve ever slow danced, hehe. Then we drove around for a while and then went back to the tent and went to bed.
Sunday morning Todd woke me up by pulling down all the tarps off the tent. I got up and started packing everything up so we could check out and get to the competition. We loaded everything into the blazer and headed to the beach. We were the first ones there from the club, we waited a little while til everyone got there. It was soo cold out. I had to change into pants and I had my jacket on, and I was still cold. It was all misty out and windy. Todd and the guys went out to warm up and they did pretty good. Then they set up a little tent thing and we sat under it. Then Todd set up his umbrella to block the wind. They found out they were in the 7th heat, so we had a while to wait. I was so cold so I went and got Todd’s sleeping bag from the car and I wrapped it around me. I fell asleep in it for a little while until it was time for them to surf. I got out the video camera and taped the whole thing. They did pretty good in the first heat, everyone caught a wave I think. Then we all hung out until the next heat around 2, and I taped it again, this time they didn’t do as well. A set of waves hit them as they were paddling out and the current wasn’t on their side. They only caught a few waves, but put in a great effort. Then we waited for the results and found out they got last place. Better then I could do though. Then I wanted to surf, so I put on the wetsuit and headed out. The waves were really rough, it took like 10 minutes for me just to paddle out, and by then I was so tired. Todd said he didn’t know if I should stay out there. He didn’t want me to get hurt, so I swam back in. I sat on the beach watching and I felt miserable. I felt like I gave up or something, and I really REALLY wanted to be out there surfing with him. So I sucked it up and found a calm spot in the water and paddled back out, this time with no problems. Todd was happy to see me back out there. The waves were pretty big, I got pushed over by a couple, but I finally caught one just as we were riding back in. Then we changed and said bye to the ASC guys and started heading home. We got some lunch on the way and then went back to Todd’s house. We watched the video and hung out for a while, then I had to go home around 10 because my nieces were at my house visiting from Arizona. They will be here until July when we go to Disney world for a week. Todd doesn’t know if he can go yet because he has some orientation at Salisbury, but I really hope he can come, he’s never been there before.
The next day I watched the girls for a while and then me, Britt, Alisa and Todd went out on Chris’s boat again to the island. We brought hotdogs and marshmallows and cooked them on the fire. it was really fun. It was a nice night out and my friends really had fun. Wednesday me and Todd came over and we hung out on the trampoline talking. Then we ended up falling asleep on it for a couple hours. We woke up to some scary noise. Todd was freaked out he thought it was a rattle snake or something, haha that chicken. Then we talked for a little while longer and he went home around 4:30am. The next day I watched the girls for a while then me and Todd attempted to go fishing, but the mosquitos were SOO bad. So we went to Rita’s and got some gelatis and then sat in the blazer as it started to rain and we watched the lightning. Then I went back to his house for a little while and we watched tv til about 11:30.
Thursday Chris and Todd came over after he got off work and we asked my sister to get some drinks for us. We followed her to the store and she got us some Triple Black, Rolling Rock, and Sam Adams. We met up with Amber and Britt at Brittanys house, we played mario kart for a little while then tried to figure out what to do next. Chris suggested a café with some music, but Todd didn’t want to do that, then we suggested Bowling, but Amber didn’t want to do that. We finally decided to go to Jumpers to see a cheap movie. We drank in the car (pretty dumb) and when We got to the movies I was all dizzy. We saw Phone Booth. I had already seen it, but I don’t think anyone else liked it really. Lol. Todd snuck some beer into the theater, and me and Britt made 2 trips to the bathroom, lol. After the movie we drove to Severna Park Middle to light off a little firework Todd had bought at 7-11. Amber made a big deal of it, saying the cops hung out here and we’d get in trouble. Todd and amber got into a little argument over it, and some innapropriate things were said. Todd set it off anyway, it was like 20 seconds long and 2 ft high, not worth the fuss. Anyways, after that we dropped off amber and britt at brittanys house and went back to my house for a little while and talked. I don’t think Amber and Todd will be hanging out too much anymore. I talked to Amber online after they left and she said she would only hang out with Todd if Andy were with her to beat him up if he said anything rude to her. Whatever, I think shes making a big deal over nothing. I told Todd to try to be nicer to her, and no more drinking in the car. I don’t know what else to do, but hopefully this will blow over.
Today has been pretty boring so far, I’ve just been sitting around with the girls, and talking to people online. Todd is going to take me to downtown Annapolis tonight, just like the first time we hung out alone together. Hehe. It should be fun, I’ll tell you about it later though, I am tired of writing, my fingers hurt! So I will try to write atleast once a week so this doesn’t happen again. But now u know whats going on. Cya later!
The next day we left for Ocean city for Beach week! I drove over the bay bridge for the first time. It was really cramped in my car. Amber and Andy were singing and Brittany and I were trying to shut them up. We finally got there after a 2 hour drive and we checked into our rooms without any problems.

That morning Todd had to leave to go to work. I saw him off and then went back to the room to sleep some more. Later on we went on the beach. It was much nicer out then the day before. Then we went on the boardwalk (yes, AGAIN) and Alex was on the phone with his g/f for like a half hour and everyone was kinda pissed. Oh well. We ate some food and that’s all I really remember.
The next morning was check out. We packed everything into the car and went out on the beach and played frisbee and then fell asleep on the beach until around 1. Brittany decided to drive home with Alex and Nate. Me and Amber and Andy left a little earlier and it started raining about 20 minutes into the drive. Amber and Andy fell asleep in the backseat (thank God, their singing was starting to get annoying) and then I dropped them both off at Ambers house and went home. It was a really fun week and I hope we get to do it again later this summer.
The next couple days were just for chillin, I hung out with Britt and Alisa the next day. And just basically whatever for the other days. Then on Thursday me and Todd went with his friend Chris on his boat to this island in the middle of the Magothy River. It was soo cool! We built a fire and hung out. It was really neat. Then we went back to Todd’s house for a little while and then went home to pack for tomorrows trip. We planned to go camping Friday through Sunday for Todd’s Longboard competition in Ocean City. So the next morning I drove to his house and we packed everything up into his Blazer and drove off too the eastern shore. We both forgot some stuff... I forgot my sleeping bag, and he forgot a pillow. We stopped in Salisbury to check out this place he might be staying at when he goes to school in the fall. The girl seemed pretty nice, and the room was decent. We talked for a while then left to get some essentials from the grocery store: Spaghetti- O’s, Reddi Whip, Bread, Hotdogs, and smores stuff. We got to the campsite and set up the tent. After that we headed to Ocean city for my very first surfing lesson! I was so excited. We met up with ASC members Rod and KC on the beach on 37th. They let me borrow one of their smaller wetsuits and I put it on (which wasn’t the easiest thing to do) We headed out to the water, surprisingly I wasn’t even cold with the wetsuit on. I had Todd’s shorter board at first, but I wasn’t catching anything, so he let me use the longboard and I finally caught a ride into shore on my stomach. It was so fun! I knew I had to try to stand up. After a couple tries I actually made it up onto my feet! I was so happy, it was the greatest feeling! I paddled back out to Todd who was just as happy to see my first ride. We surfed for about 4 hours straight, I was a little tired, but not too much. It was so exciting, I just kept saying to myself “just one more time” and it kept going like that, lol. Then we finally did stop and we got out at like 6:00. We changed and then went back to the campsite. We jumped into the pool to try to get some salt off, but the water was soo cold. We went back to the campsite and changed, then we made a nice little fire and roasted some hotdogs on it for dinner. Todd made some potatoes on his little grill and we had some of his mom’s salsa. Then we made some smores! Mmm! Todd bought me some Smirnoff Ice Triple Black and I drank like 1 and a half bottles of it and I started getting dizzy. I felt like I had taken some nyquil or something, I couldn’t stand without practically falling over. It was so funny. For a minute I had to lay down in the tent cuz my head was spinning. I finally got up and went by the fire and listened to Todd sing and play the guitar. It was really nice. I started feeling better and I sang along with him to some songs. We heard the competition was postponed til Sunday since it was supposed to rain, but we werent sure. We tried to call Rod but my dumb cell phone died. We just figured we’d call in the morning and find out. Then we put out the fire and hit the sack. Since we only had one sleeping bag, we had to buy some sheets too, they didn’t do much good, but we kept each other pretty warm.
The next morning we woke up at like 6 and called Rod from a pay phone. He confirmed that the competition was postponed. So we went back to the site and started a little fire without using any matches or anything! Then Todd cooked us some Spaghetti-O’s for breakfast on his grill. Since it was supposed to rain Todd started setting up the tarps I had brought so the rain wouldn’t soak us.. Just then we started feeling little drops. We had good timing because within the next half hour it was POURING rain. We hung out in the tent and slept for a little while, then we got up and took showers and then decided to go over to Foon’s (one of the ASC guys) place over in OC and hang out. So we drove over there and watched a surfing movie, it was pretty cool. We sat outside watching the waves and talking for a couple hours, then we decided to get some lunch at Denny’s… well, I had breakfast, but same difference, lol. Then we went back to the campground and played some dumb arcade games, played pool, and air hockey. Then we went back to the tent and layed around for a while. Then after it got dark we went over to the country bumpkin jamboree as Todd called it. People were singing karaoke and dancing, so since we had a little bit to drink we got out on the floor and were dancing a little bit, even tho I sucked at it. Then we slow danced to George Strait. It was so nice, the first time we’ve ever slow danced, hehe. Then we drove around for a while and then went back to the tent and went to bed.
Sunday morning Todd woke me up by pulling down all the tarps off the tent. I got up and started packing everything up so we could check out and get to the competition. We loaded everything into the blazer and headed to the beach. We were the first ones there from the club, we waited a little while til everyone got there. It was soo cold out. I had to change into pants and I had my jacket on, and I was still cold. It was all misty out and windy. Todd and the guys went out to warm up and they did pretty good. Then they set up a little tent thing and we sat under it. Then Todd set up his umbrella to block the wind. They found out they were in the 7th heat, so we had a while to wait. I was so cold so I went and got Todd’s sleeping bag from the car and I wrapped it around me. I fell asleep in it for a little while until it was time for them to surf. I got out the video camera and taped the whole thing. They did pretty good in the first heat, everyone caught a wave I think. Then we all hung out until the next heat around 2, and I taped it again, this time they didn’t do as well. A set of waves hit them as they were paddling out and the current wasn’t on their side. They only caught a few waves, but put in a great effort. Then we waited for the results and found out they got last place. Better then I could do though. Then I wanted to surf, so I put on the wetsuit and headed out. The waves were really rough, it took like 10 minutes for me just to paddle out, and by then I was so tired. Todd said he didn’t know if I should stay out there. He didn’t want me to get hurt, so I swam back in. I sat on the beach watching and I felt miserable. I felt like I gave up or something, and I really REALLY wanted to be out there surfing with him. So I sucked it up and found a calm spot in the water and paddled back out, this time with no problems. Todd was happy to see me back out there. The waves were pretty big, I got pushed over by a couple, but I finally caught one just as we were riding back in. Then we changed and said bye to the ASC guys and started heading home. We got some lunch on the way and then went back to Todd’s house. We watched the video and hung out for a while, then I had to go home around 10 because my nieces were at my house visiting from Arizona. They will be here until July when we go to Disney world for a week. Todd doesn’t know if he can go yet because he has some orientation at Salisbury, but I really hope he can come, he’s never been there before.
The next day I watched the girls for a while and then me, Britt, Alisa and Todd went out on Chris’s boat again to the island. We brought hotdogs and marshmallows and cooked them on the fire. it was really fun. It was a nice night out and my friends really had fun. Wednesday me and Todd came over and we hung out on the trampoline talking. Then we ended up falling asleep on it for a couple hours. We woke up to some scary noise. Todd was freaked out he thought it was a rattle snake or something, haha that chicken. Then we talked for a little while longer and he went home around 4:30am. The next day I watched the girls for a while then me and Todd attempted to go fishing, but the mosquitos were SOO bad. So we went to Rita’s and got some gelatis and then sat in the blazer as it started to rain and we watched the lightning. Then I went back to his house for a little while and we watched tv til about 11:30.
Thursday Chris and Todd came over after he got off work and we asked my sister to get some drinks for us. We followed her to the store and she got us some Triple Black, Rolling Rock, and Sam Adams. We met up with Amber and Britt at Brittanys house, we played mario kart for a little while then tried to figure out what to do next. Chris suggested a café with some music, but Todd didn’t want to do that, then we suggested Bowling, but Amber didn’t want to do that. We finally decided to go to Jumpers to see a cheap movie. We drank in the car (pretty dumb) and when We got to the movies I was all dizzy. We saw Phone Booth. I had already seen it, but I don’t think anyone else liked it really. Lol. Todd snuck some beer into the theater, and me and Britt made 2 trips to the bathroom, lol. After the movie we drove to Severna Park Middle to light off a little firework Todd had bought at 7-11. Amber made a big deal of it, saying the cops hung out here and we’d get in trouble. Todd and amber got into a little argument over it, and some innapropriate things were said. Todd set it off anyway, it was like 20 seconds long and 2 ft high, not worth the fuss. Anyways, after that we dropped off amber and britt at brittanys house and went back to my house for a little while and talked. I don’t think Amber and Todd will be hanging out too much anymore. I talked to Amber online after they left and she said she would only hang out with Todd if Andy were with her to beat him up if he said anything rude to her. Whatever, I think shes making a big deal over nothing. I told Todd to try to be nicer to her, and no more drinking in the car. I don’t know what else to do, but hopefully this will blow over.
Today has been pretty boring so far, I’ve just been sitting around with the girls, and talking to people online. Todd is going to take me to downtown Annapolis tonight, just like the first time we hung out alone together. Hehe. It should be fun, I’ll tell you about it later though, I am tired of writing, my fingers hurt! So I will try to write atleast once a week so this doesn’t happen again. But now u know whats going on. Cya later!
