Good Times, Bad Ideas

We just spent the weekend in Pafos, by the beach. Yeah, that's right, I just spent the weekend playing in the Mediterranean, lounging by any one of the SEVERAL pools, or dancing around and listening to (horrible) karaoke. Speaking of which, Jake's rendition of "Hit Me Baby One More Time" was one of the most amusing things I've ever seen, and Taylor's "Dancing Queen" was actually well done.
As you might have guessed, there was alcohol involved, although that may not have been the ONLY reason for the major incident of the weekend. Taylor is a swimmer, and so used to diving into pools. Unfortunately, she tried it after a night of drinking... into the shallow end.
The good part is she's fine, just about 10 stitches in the forehead and probably a killer headache.
Moral of the story: Don't dive headfirst into the shallow ends of pools. I know it's not applicable to many situations, but it's still good advice.
We had a number of other non-injurious incidents, including a few people's misguided (and again intoxicated) attempts at skinny-dipping, and a lot of sunburns.
Want to know where I was during most of this? I was around for the dancing and karaoke, but for the less advisable activities, I was on the pull-out couch with Danielle and Chelseanna watching movies until we fell asleep. I'd never even talked to them at all before, but a number of rooming issues led to me being thrown in with them (and later josh joined us, but not for the movie watching, because he hates everything that I don't. I don't mind, he's from Florida and listens to too much techno-- it's burned out his brain when it comes to tastes I think, because we never agree on anything, and he thinks NH is "creepy.") so basically I got to meet two new girls, and they turned out to be really cool. Anyways, if I think of anything else, I'll do another post later, but for the moment, I'm going to go attempt to be productive.
