The other day I went surfing for the first time and made a right fool of myself. Honestly I can't surf for crap must I made an honest go at it. I went to the notorious Piha beach on the west coast of Auckland, and out of approx. 35 waves I only managed to stand up 5 times.
And since I am very much unfit it was tough work. With the board I had I ended up looking like a friggen' seal skimming the water when I paddled my stubby arms in a vain attempt to go faster.
It was awesome fun. Couldn't raise my arms over my head for 2 days after.
Then the next day I was at my friend's house for a "sleep-over" (tosh, we didn't actually sleep) because we had to get up at 4am the next day to go to the airport to say good-bye to some other friends. Anyway.
High on air we watched a couple of movies. Then, being the girls we are, we had a pig-pillow fight. (She had received for her b-day two stuffed pigs...and we are left wondering if the said pigs mean anything). I opened up a can of whup-a** on her! xd
But then I kinda fell off the end of the bed, so I wasn't all high and mighty anymore.
Then we slept crossways on her bed for a change. For 2 hours. Then the bloody alarm clock went off and we had to go. Eugh.
We got to the airport at 5am only to discover that our mutual friends weren't there yet. CURSES! I shouted, very much peeved.
I dragged myself to the foodcourt for a pick-me-up hot chocolate and then I waited.
Cor did I wait....Then they came, we said goodbye and then went home.
