i was gone all this week cuz i went on vacation w/ my family down in florida. we went to panama city beach. it was pretty cool. i went in the ocean a lot, gathered a bunch of shells(i woke up REALLY early one morning to get some and i got a handful, when i could have gone out in the early evening to get some. >.< wink on tuesday my mom, dad, sister, brother, g-ma, g-pa, and i went on a boat and went deep sea fishing. i was surprised that i didn't get seasick..but the one thing that did make me feel light-headed was the bait. it was squid :vein...it smelled rotten. xp . but anyways i caught 3 fish they were able to keep. i could have gotten four but here's what happened:
i got my hook baited and i cast it out. and i kinda sat there too long until, finally, i felt a little tug on my pole. so i started reeling it in. it was then i realized that i had something REALLY big. the more i reeled it in, the harder it was. so i looked to my right over the edge of the boat as i was reeling and i saw that everyone else's lines were hooked to mine. so then i thought (so THAT'S what the big deal was over there..lol) i had half of my line reeled in, the fish was so far over to the right that it came up. it was a big son of a b***h..so i was like woohoo! and i reeled it faster but as i did, the fish ran into someone else's hook and it somehow knocked it off!!! the reasons why it got away are 1) i waited too long, and 2) b cuz i waited too long the fish grabbed my hook and swam off w/ it until it got far enough so i could feel it. i was upset. scream I ALMOST HAD IT! >.< oh well. we left the hotel yesterday and drove up to Tennessee to find a place to stay, and on our way there, there was a cow running between the two highways!!! xd i couldn't get a picture of it though!!!!!!! grr. it was soo hilarious. then it took about 7 hours to get back home this morning. oh yeah. i got a sickness.....not sure what it is other than sore throat and swimmers ear. on friday i wasn't hungry at all...i felt as if i were going to throw up and i had aches everywhere. crying it went away eventually though. which is a good thing. lol. and now i wish i had someone to talk to...well on my cell phone. i have more ppl to talk to on my cell phone than on the computer..lol. but it got taken away until next month cuz i went over the minutes for a second time in a row..lol. i couldn't help it though. so now i'm extremely bored.......*sighs*..... stare
