Fort Lauderdale Trip Part 4

****so continuing where i left off before i was so rudely interrupted with a phone call from byran

so.....i'm trying not to gag on the yucky ocean when i turn around and getting a fin in my face which knock my mask a little bit.....it was enough to break the seal to my face......so i'm freaking out again......yeah yeah i freak out a lot......shutup......trying to adjust my mask to get the seal back but my hair kept getting in the way......and another thing......i can stop breathing out my nose......so now when i put my face in the water, the seal wasn't tight and i'd breathe out of my nose and yeah, i would breathe in water......it's just the way i am......i just can't stop breathing out of my nose......like in pools, i have to hold my nose......

anyway......after breathing in yucky ocean water......and the water was getting more choppy......i had enough......and start my climb back on the boat......i get on the boat and see bryan still in the ocean.....he tells me to get back in.....so i do.....and i still couldn't maintain a seal cos dammit i have too much hair or something.......and i climbed back up......anyway it was time to go......

so we get back up on the boat......and we see jake and he doesn't want to leave.....if fact he's teasing rebecca on how he could just jump off the boat and leans over the railing......which i thought was funny since not even a hour ago, he was scared to get in the ocean......i mean i was too......now i like snorkeling and stuff......and i'm not as scared as i was before......i guess i just needed to get over that fear.......and i owe it all to bryan cos without him pestering me about it......and stuff......i would have never have gotten in the ocean......

so we're back on the boat......and the wind is picking up......rocking the boat a lot......and so the crew decide to haul ass back to calmer waters......so we're going really fast......and the boat is rocking big time.....and i'm looking around at everyone......and people are starting to look sick......from the looks of it......i wasn't the only one that gulped some yucky ocean water......

the crew is passing out bahama mama rum punch and getting our cold buffet ready.......and the rum punch was okay......wasn't the best drink in the world.....so i sip it while bryan gulped his......and i wasn't feeling well either.......so we're hauling ass......and a poor girl, probably 11 or 12 just got totally sick on the boat......to the point we had to stop while the crew cleaned up......it was gross.......

then we finally got to this lighthouse at sunset......it was really pretty......i was pissed that i forgot to bring a camera......i had an underwater camera but none of the pictures came out because the sun wasn't shining......

dinner is served......i had a sandwich hoping that would make me feel better.....but it made me feel worst......so i snacked on chips and pretzels......which cured me.....and i felt so much better......and i'm talking with people getting to know them......and they're wondering about me and bryan......and stuff like that......i *guess* i told people on the boat me and bryan met on the internet......i just don't remember.......bryan says i did and he was a little upset......he just didn't tell me at the time......he told me later AFTER we were done that he wasn't comfortable letting people know we met on the internet.......me?????......i didn't care if people knew.....

and after dinner......we're cruising millionaire's row......playing music......dancing and what not......and now to be mean......but bryan can't dance......unless you call what HE did dancing.....i just couldn't dance with him.....it felt to wierd.....so i kinda walked away from him and stood on the bench with some other girls and danced that way.....there were times where i was a little freaked out cos i thought i was going to fall overboard......cos i'm drunk and everyone knows i have no sense of balance when i'm drunk (sky, gun, ham and anya can vouch for that)......

anyway it was fun......we were cruising done millionaire's row......screaming at all the condos trying to get them to flash their lights at us......and everytime we went under the bridges.....we would scream as loud as we could......and people we just having fun....

we did a congo line and bryan was behind me.....and we were dancing and doing this congo line around the deck.....and bryan tried to do one of those "bum" bumps.....i forget what it's called.....you know, where you get with someone and do one of those side bumping things with each other????.....god my brain is fried......anyway byran tried to do that with me.....and yeah.....he's freaking skinny and nothing but bone......so it kinda hurt when he "bumped" me.....and i don't care what you say......even with someone like me who has "cushion".......it still hurt being bumped by someone who's all bone......get yer mind out of the gutter!!!!

****anyway, now it's august 21 - and i need to wrap up this fort lauderdale trip so i can start writing about other stuff****

• well after the bahama mama cruise....bryan and i are just crazy drunk.....and what did we do when we were crazy drunk???.....we head off to the tiki bar to drink some more.....we met up with matt from california who said that the bartender karen wanted to take us out.....so we head over.....drink for about an hour.....and meet up with this other chick named terri (who was sooo infactuated with matt it was funny).....we drank there until closing and waited around for karen to finish up.....and then me, bryan, matt and teri piled up in karen's explorer and head off for "BRINY'S IRISH PUB".....i'm still drunk from the cruise.....and from what i drank at the tiki bar......and for some reason, i picked up terri's southern accent.....so from the tiki bar to the irish pub.....i had this terrible southern/texas accent that i just could get rid of.....started calling people "dah-lin" and shit like that.....and the thing is.....i can't even do an accent sober....

• well at the pub.....i just started downing screwdrivers.....and after my 4th or 5th one......karen was like "she never drank like this at MY bar!!!"......and i promised in my slurred texas accent that i would drink more at hers later on......after my 7th screwdriver......karen and bryan cut me off......especially after they saw me give a $10 tip to the bartender.....karen was worried about me being sooooooo drunk that i needed to get some food in me.....so karen decided to go to the IHOP and get me to eat.....matt and karen decided to walk on the beach on the way back to the hotel.....so with my mind being in the gutter.....you know what i was thinking......lol......so bryan put me in the front seat.....and karen started driving......and for some reason i remember sticking my head out the window and screaming nonsense......

• when we got to the IHOP.....all i can remember is laughing a lot.....talking nonsense......and almost chiping my tooth while i was trying to drink my coffee......i remember bryan giving me that "i-can't-believe-i'm-babysitting-a-drunk-samoan" look.....and then i babbled some more......and karen took us back to the hotel......i started walking up to the room with my eyes closed and my hand tracing the wall and going towards bryan's voice......(the bastard didn't even really help me up to our room....lol).....i get to the room and fall right into my bed.....bryan said he was going to look for matt to make sure terri didn't violate him or something......so he left.....while i slept off the alcohol.....

• wednesday.....i woke up when bryan came back from looking for matt......i looked at the clock and it was around 6am.....and the room spinning......i had to wake up for a meeting i had with the sales manager of the hilton garden inn by the airport......i had a splitting headache and realized i was still wearing my swimsuit and clothes from the bahama mama cruise......i laid there for an hour or so until the room stopped spinning and stumbled my way past bryan and got into the shower......after that.....still feeling like crap.....i went back to bed.......

• bryan had set the alarm to make sure i got up for my meeting at 11am.....i was still asleep in my towel when bryan turned of the alarm......and then he went back to his bed......he was telling me to get up......and i told him that i was up and had already taken a shower......i asked him if he ever found matt and he said he never did.....and that he fell asleep in their pool......he was still a little drunk last night after dropping me off.....he went over to matt's room and didn't think he was there......so he waited for matt by the pool.....then he had the urge to go swimming......to he jumped in the pool......laid on his back and tied a noodle around his head like a crown and fell asleep......hehe.....he didn't wake up until he realized that he was cold and the sun was coming up......

• i laid in bed while bryan got up to use the "facilities" and when he came out......i said to him......"i'm sorry if i said anything last night that embarrassed you"......and he irritatedly said....."you said a lot of things"......um.....i thought......that must have not been good......and i get ready for my meeting......

• bryan agrees to take me.....and i figure that i know where the hotel is at......and i don't......so we basically drover around dania beach for literally two hours looking for the hotel that i thought i knew where it was......it got to the point that i finally called the sales manager and asked her for directions cos i was like an hour late......bryan was really really really irrated with me and fed up.....when we finally found the hotel......i gave him $20 for his trouble and i went to my meeting.....

• jennefer.....the sales manager was great......and understanding......and gorgeous......we went to eat at this really nice place.....i forget the name......it's like "dave and busters" or something like that.......and we just talked and talked......and she noticed i sound waaaaay different than i do on the phone......(we've only conducted business by phone....this is the first time we met)......and i told her that i just drank waaaaay too much and i picked up this accent that i couldn't get rid of.......and yes......i STILL had the accent the next day......we get back and tour around the hotel.....she's showing me the rooms.....i meet the manager and the other office workers......and during this, they're giving me free promotional stuff to take back home.....and after the day with jennefer......i told her that bryan had just left, so i was going to take a taxi back to the hotel......and jennefer wouldn't have it.....so she drove me back to my hotel.....and along the way we talked and had a good time......and she was teasing me about my "accent" and thought it was funny that when i'm drunk, i start talking like that people around me....and i had this southern accent for TWO days.....couldn't get rid of it....

• anyway i get back to the hotel and bryan is getting ready to go out with matt.....so basically he was ditching me.....which i could understand since we had a rough morning.....he went with matt......and i went to hang out with terri......we ended up drinking at the tiki bar until closing......then we met these guys from chicago and ended up walking a few blocks to BRINY'S IRISH PUB......drank a bit there......and then walked back to the hotel via the beach......it was soooooo nice.....me and one of the guys laid on the beach......we weren't touching or anything......plus he was really short......and we talked and laid in the cool sand......listening to the waves......and staring up at the stars......while terri and the other guy played in the ocean......terri was feeling waaaaaay uncomfortable cos the guy she was with was trying to "get" with her (if you know what i mean) and she just wasn't interested......while me and the guy *I* was hanging with was a perfect gentleman......i guess we had gave each other the vibe that nothing was going to happen between us......

• anyway terri was feeling waaaaaay uncomfortable......so we started heading back to the hotel.....and the guys wanted us to come up to their room and sit in their hot tub......i was cool.....so we get to the guys' room and it's really really nice.....and look at the hot tub......and it's a two person tub.....and four of us......so while the guys were in the bathroom, doing whatever they were doing......terri and i take off......and start walking back to the main courtyard......we decided to jump in the hot tub.....and talked about how this guy was alllllll over terri and how she was soooooo uncomfortable......anyway after about 20 minutes, the guy that was allllll over terri came looking for us......and found us in the hot tub......he wanted us to come back to the room.....and we declined.....and then he got into the hot tub......and again.....trying to get on terri......i stuck my leg out and push him away from her......and after a couple of minutes chasing terri around the hot tub.....and me coming in for the block.....he gave up and left......
