Big Wednesday

I survived my first surf lesson! \o/ Of course my performance wasn't that great but hey, it was my first time ever on a surfboard, I wasn't expecting to ride waves like a pro. And I had fun, which is the important thing.

Aaand I went to the arcade on the Santa Monica Pier afterwards and look:



Yep, #1 at Street Fighter! I'm so old school. I also treated myself to a delicious red velvet cream cheese cupcake at Yummy Cupcakes before heading home, which was a smart move, because I was so tired that I just took a shower and went to bed skipping dinner. Today I'm sore all over, my arms hurt, my abs hurt, my butt hurts. And I have a bruise on my hip. But now I know where Scott got his shoulders: my deltoids and rotator cuffs have never hurt so much, which means I used them a lot yesterday, and if Scott has surfed on a regular or semi-regular basis since he was a teen, well...

Some of the sea around Scotland is actually quite nice and warm :) I went swimming in the sea on the west coast last year with no wet or dry suit on and after a minute I got used to it and my mum learned to swim in the sea as a kid, but it's different water up here and it's freezing D: Then again, we have no sun most of the year!

Lol, all those pictures I've seen of guys surfing wearing nothing but terrible Hawaiian shorts have been a lie... XD

Well, I've seen pictures of people surfing in just shorts or a bikini, but I guess that's in Hawaii or Australia. Here pretty much every surfer I've seen so far was wearing a wetsuit. Sorry to break your dream. ;)
