Saturday was the night of the annual deep-sea fishing trip - this year, it was at night: 5-12 p.m. The water was choppy and the wind was blustering, the weather was actually fairly clear - I was with the object of my affection, though, so I didn't mind a bit. The expectedley beautiful sunset was obscured by clouds and my sunglasses had just broken - but I was with the object of my affection, I didn't mind a bit. Through the hours and hours of dropping a line and bait into the water and not a single bite, I hadn't caught a single fish - but I was with the object of my affection, so I didn't mind a bit. Maybe somewhere within the monotony of choppy, rocking sea-water and no fish to distract me, I became very, very, very nauseated. This was the weirdest damn thing, as I hadn't puked since I was seven years old. All I'd had to eat that day was a bowl of cereal @ 10a.m., some chips and salsa @ 2 p.m., a 12 oz can of Pepsi @ 7 p.m. and about 4 cups of water throughout the day - there was no reason to become sick from something I'd eaten, so it was definitely motion sickness. I've been riding in planes all my life, I've been in boats several times before - and have never once felt sick in the least. It caught me totally off-guard. It didn't help that we lost an engine, so it took us an extra 2 hours to get back. By 2 a.m. I'd lost it all: a good pair of sunglasses, a good day's worth of meals, a good 9 hours of my time, etc... But I'm not about complaining - after all, I was with the object of my affection and I didn't mind it a bit. She did not make fun of me, or make any jokes, or even view me in a different way in the least - she accepted me, so all was well. If anything, I got much desired sympathy from someone who isn't often forward with her feelings about me. http://www.pso-world.com/psoworld/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/love.gif
But still, with seeds of love, come seeds of doubt and jealousy, it is the yin to Love's yang. I couldn't help but think what I should think about what happened to me - I know it's a weakness, hell, I heard that from almost every guy on the ship (about the 2/3 of them who WEREN'T ALSO puking their guts out). What does PSOW say about it? What is the verdict on vomiting, especially when it's just about out of someone's control (not drug or alcohol-induced).
