Because there isn't a thread called "FREAKED OUT"

[justa~gurl]

i decided to post here.

my dad loves sailboats. i bought him a hand made wooden sailboat for christmas which snowballed him into the idea of sending me and my sister on a sailboat trip for 10 days along part of Vancouver Island. This isn't a luxury cruise, it's one where you learn how to sail and do different jobs everyday such as cleaning/stearing the sailboat, doing the mast stuff, navagating, keeping watch at night. (as you can tell i have no knowledge of sailboats)
at this point i was like "Sure!" sounds like a good experience. Then i find out my sister can't come because it's only open to people 25 years and under.
so i am a little freaked out i will be all on my own with strangers. ..on a boat..for 10 days.
THEN i find out that the people who run this are funded by Christain members or some relgion like that. that raised a few hairs, but my dad said they only do a morning prayer before they eat, it's not a religious thing. So i said ok, as long as they don't try to push anything on me, thats fine.

so my dad did all the paper work and signed me up and has paid for it already (like near a grand! insane!)

now my sister told me that she watched a program on t.v. about the exact same boat/trip and she said they were all jumping around, clapping and singing and praying and doing hard labour, and promoting their religion. NOT COOL

i am down for the hard labour but doing all that cheesy religous bullshit.. omg

i will throw myself overboard

i am trying to be positive about this and i know it should be an awesome experience and my dad REALLY REALLY REALLY wants me to go and it will make him sooooo happy.

but i am freaked out. I am NOT religious. and i am NOT yay chipper happy go lucky i like to sing prayer songs and clap my hands! type of girl.

june 30th -july 9th

you know where i will be..


if anyone has any inspiring thoughts or things to say, please help me

and if i am being a whiney baby, please slap me and tell me to stop being such an inconsiderate whiney baby .

Edit: oops i posted 2ice

[Quote by tie-dye] bring an mp3 player and a good book.... but not THE good book (I'm sure they'll have one you can just borrow ).. lots of lotion - you don't want to get burned.. and a german-to-english dictionary so you can pretend you don't speak english. They'll buy it.. just listen to your Sigur Ros all day. (I know it's icelandic). Hope that helps. I always use poor english when dealing with religious folk.[/quote]



i was def thinking of wearing my skull skates hoodie ALL THE TIME and putting a spike in my labret (ooo watch out!) and show off my ugly, regrettable until this moment upside down star tattoo. double pronged to resemble the devil (not why i got it)


but then they might just try harder with me.. or something..

grin and bear it. the rewards of going on a sailing trip of any sort well outwiegh any negativity you might encounter from christian fanatics. and being anti-christian will only make it harder to enjoy yourself.

i agree... grin and bear it.. they arent really going to make you do anything you dont want to do.

after day one or two you'll probably froget what your sister told you and already be having a good time..

bring a camera you'll be glad you did!

dont forget to bring a disc man so you can drown their religious rants out. Dont be outright rude unless they are, but they cant MAKE you do anything you dont want to so just learn how to sail, take ion the beautiful veiws and stay clear of the cult-like activities.


I admire you alot for going on something that (for some part) is so not something youre into, just to make your dad happy :)

Yeah I would not be able to handle 10 days on a sail boat with a bunch of bible thumpers. Good luck with that. I can guarantee you they will try to pull some crap on you.

Four years ago I got busted by undercover cops at a rave. No criminal record or anything, just had to right a essay (found it on the internet, copy/paste/print, lol) and had to do 25 hours in narcotics anomynous, still don't know why I had to go there. Anyways did that for a few days then they started talking about religion n shit, so I was like fuck this. Got home wrote a somewhat professional paper of me completing the 25 hours, printed and signed it. The court beleived it was real, lol.

There was no way I could handle that shit, I'd probably hit someone or something.
