Ed and I took a little trip down the shore after I got out of work today (12:30 dismissal Fridays are awesome) to visit his cousin and do a little fishing.
Yes, that's right--that was no typo: I went fishing. Fishing as in an outdoor activity requiring a row boat and live bait. I'm not going to say I'm a priss or anything--I'll kill a spider for you without thinking twice and I can make a move without any make-up--but at the end of the day I'm not exactly Miss Outdoorsy. However, I agreed to go with Ed to get to do something different and with the promise of a much anticipated Boardwalk trip afterwards. In the span of the afternoon I managed to:
-"Row" the boat (which was already half flooded with dirty lake water) into the marsh where we proceeded to get stuck in the bank.
-Cast my fishing line right into the tallest tree branch (it took a bit of time to get it untangled)
-Caught nothing but huge chunks of slimy seaweed
Despite my klutziness, it was a fun day. While I would have loved to have gone to Pt. Pleasant but instead the destination was Sleazeside but it was fun nonetheless. Gigantic pizza slices coupled with some nice guido-gawking was entertaining.
Tomorrow it's off to Long Island (kill me) for a Sweet 16 but it should be a good time aside from a dreadful drive on the L.I.E.
Random sidenote: Cruel Intentions 2 is on and it's absolutely ridiculous but naturally I can't stop watching this filth.
