wow.

today i learned something VERY important.
i do, infact, get very very sea sick.
mmhmm. of course i didn't know this when i payed $50 to go deep sea fishing with my chuch. how could i? i've never been fishing before. *all gasp* yep. and since i'm all about trying new things and all that jazz, off i went!
got up at 4 AM. yaaaay. waited for everyone on the dock forever. 6 PM: board a little ship, with liiike 25 or so other people - all of whom i more-or-less know, save for the ship's crew.
was doing pretty good, ship took off, rode at the front of the boat for a while.. saw the sun rise and stuff. then had to go to the capitan's little spot to sign some paper (incase i die). didn't even make it half way when i started feeling sick. so i got the bright idea to maybe take some of my sister's motion sickness medacine (too bad the directions said to take it an hour before you go..) so yeah. i'll spare you the disgusting details and just say that i spent the next 3 hours over the side of the railing.. good times.
then the boat stopped so everyone could fish (boat stopping on moving ocean = not good for melissa). and i got kicked out of my spot by the rail... apparently fishing is more important than me dying. yeah. freaking miserable. i seriously thought i was gonna die. tried sitting up top to get out of the way (plus my legs where hurting from standing at the rail).. but yeah, going to the top = stupid idea. was so sick i had to have help getting down to a part of the boat that wasn't rocking as much. which was the place where everyone tossed their backpacks.. stayed there for the rest of the trip, just had to move whenever someone needed their stuff. and movment of any kind made me sick.. so i was throwing up like every 15 minutes... after a while they made me eat just so i'd have something to throw up... XD
i was sooo happy when they finally said we were heading back and we'd be there in 2 hours. so happy, in fact, that i threw up some more. yaaay. i swear i threw up like 50 times. lost track after 10 times.. and that was only around like 9 AM... and the thing went till 3:30 PM. you can do the math.
oh and everyone caught yucky looking fish and a good time was had by all. save for me, and the few other "landlubbers" who spent most of the trip leaning over the rail. i couldn't even hold the fishing poll i felt so bad.. so i guess technically i still haven't gone fishing. but i know i'll probably never do it again either!
the room is still rocking back and forth.... bleeehhh.
