Goofy Footed
What can I say, this is nothing new to me!
However I didn't know they would have a term for it when riding a wave. ;)
I think I'm turning my chlorine addiction into a salt water addiction though! Surfing is so much fun aspecially if you can do it a couple days in a row or with your random friends who decide to show up out of nowhere aka Brittany Kamai! (I just wanted to write out her last name as she finally got it officiallised and she is proud to have her dad's name, so there!)
First it was Nicolas who took me out once a week, if lucky but the three times I went so far were great! Man I bruise badly on my knees and hips from lying on a surfboard! Then I went with Britt:
On my way to thanksgiving dinner my moped broke down again (I just got it fixed two days before) so I walk it to the moped place, tie it up and sit at the busstop. First of all I talk to this guy who is a chef at one of the big waikiki hotels and who is carrying a bunch of pies. He tells me his life story, in short I guess but still... we discuss bus systems all over the world and right before the bus comes we get interrupted by a phone call: Brittanny!
"what're you up to?"
"hmm me? sitting at the busstop moping over my moped whattabout you?"
"you want me to come pick you up?"
"wait what?! Are you here?!?!?! heck yeah!"
So I tell the guy how cool my random friend is and he donates a pie to us for thanksgiving, figuring we are students and he has only a small gathering where we have quite a big one!
He takes the bus and britt picks me up. We go see her dad play first, so nice, so good, I suggest you all come listen to him play someday, and when Britt walked in he had the proudest smile on his face! So sweet!
Then we had thanksgiving dinner at my new house where I havn't moved in yet and at the idea of surfing with Britt in the morning I confirmed my previous notion that shopping on black friday (the discount dat after thanksgiving) really wasn't my thing, so we go home at 00:00 and go surfing in the morning...
More of this!
wayyyyyy more of this!
Meanwhile my friend (Isar) had asked me to come to cpaoeira sometime, so I did as it sounded like good fun! Little did I know I was going to be sore for the entire 4 days after! I tried to swim it out, walk it out (I took the stairs everywhere) but no... I'm going back on monday though! So fun, so hard though, but at least I can get better at it!
Also have been playing with the girls a lot lateley. I am getting better at it, so much so that Mich called me friday as he wanted me in. Friday was Sinterklaas though and my free day form waterpolo so I desperately needed to finish my 'surprise' and print out my poem... so we could be ready after practice! The girls invited me to the cafetaria (where I havn't been back since I left hawaii) and ended up eating a random veggie burger, slice of pizza and icecream as there was, as usual, no proper veggie food. Brrr that was so bad it was good! :) and Dagmar had some pepernoten after so we were all pretty much ready to explode. We had a lot of fun though, even the non-Dutch girls did such a good job in picking up the sinterklaas spirit, it was impressive!
One more week and then finals start, then I am off to Canada for christmas! I bought myself a woolen sweater to get in the mood! :D
