Dare I say my vacation could have went better?
Well, as some of you may know because I've mentioned it a few times in various threads, I just went on a vacation with seven of my friends to Daytona Beach, Florida for five days.
And I'm back, twas a good time, full of sandy frolicking and face skinnings. You see the first day I was there I was bodyboarding and a wave totally mauled me. Made my board nosedive then slammed me onto my face. It then proceeded to drag me across the ocean floor for a couple of seconds before flipping my entire body over my head, bending my neck at a very awkward angle. You must understand this could only happen to me. Well I walked back to the hotel with blood running down my face and everyone staring at me. No help was offered, nor were any "Are you OK?"s posed.
Everyone pretty much seemed content to stare at my desheveled, bleeding head as I strolled amongst them.
I stepped onto the elevator alongside another tenant of my hotel. He was standing adjacent to the side of my face that had went unscathed. He saw me standing there, dripping wet, with a body board and asked me a normally harmless question.
....
....
....
"So how the waves treating ya?"
Yeah.
So I turned my face to him so he could see it in its rather extraordinarily gory entirety and said, "Not too well," before immediately exiting the elevator, which had just conveniently stopped at my floor. Then I spent the next couple of days with a sizable portion of my face covered with a rather gargantuan bandage.
Other than that, my trip was peachy.
In all seriousness, it actually didn't damper things that badly, it scabbed over after two days and all was pretty much well.
