Another boring day...
Today was more boring than usual. Because I went to the pool so early in the morning, I didn't wake up until this afternoon, so I just loafed around.
My swim yesterday was lovely. You know, after that magazine-reading fucktard left.
I literally have not been in a pool for about 8 years. My dad used to take us swimming all the time when I was younger. I forgot how much I used to love swimming...I also forgot how much water creeps me out.
Once when I was 4, my parents told me to go to bed but I decided to stay up late and watch tv. This silly horror movie came on (of course, it wasn't silly to a 4-year-old watching t.v. alone in the dark) and this woman was swimming in a pool when one of those 'T' shaped pool markings turned into a hammerhead shark and ate her. For the life of me, I can't remember what else that movie was about or how a pool mark managed to become a sea creature, but from that evening on, I was freaked out by the pool.
Of course, when my dad took us swimming, it was always in the day time and I was convinced, at the age of 4, that my dad was the strongest man alive. No 'T'-shape-pool-marking-turned-hammerhead would dare try to bite me while he was there, so I still learned to swim and all that, but yesterday, a good 17 years later, a little shiver ran up my spine when I stepped into the pool and saw one of those stupid marks.
It was actually very cool last night, but the water felt amazing. For a while, I couldn't remember how to tread water or how to swim properly. lol. I looked like a dog with palsy trying to do the breast stroke.
But after a while, it was like riding a bike and I was swimming laps like whoa. Mostly I floated on my back, looking at the moon and stars.
I don't know why I stayed away from swimming for so long. Oh wait, yes I do, it was that whole 'emotionally cripling body issues' thing. Silly me...
Anyway, I didn't go swimming this morning, but I think I'll go again tomorrow.
