Twilight References Galore

Insert me barfing because I just titled this post that.

I hate it when people use Twilight references to refer to my life, unless they have to do with me marrying Jasper Cullen. However, today I make an exception.

Because I pulled a Bella Swan.



I jumped off of a cliff. That cliff, in fact.

Yes. I, Kathleen Marie Scheuber, who is deathly afraid of heights (thanks for that one, Dad), went to a cliff that was at least 10 meters high, and jumped off of it into the water below.

And as soon as I was at the bottom, I climbed the cliff and did it again.

The water below was twenty meters deep, and there were no rocks where we were jumping. So all of you "adults" that read my blog, please note that this was probably safer than the high dive my mother let me dive off of when I was ten at my cousin's swim club. Despite this disclaimer, I can still hear my dad's girlfriend, Diane, screaming, "You did what??????"

The biggest danger I encountered was the jelly fish that awaited in the river below, though most of them were not of the stinging variety.

When I got to the edge the first time, I was scared to death. In fact, the people I was with all jumped in, climbed to the top, and jumped again before I got up the nerve to do it once.

There was a ten year old boy who was on the edge next to me who had not jumped yet either. He turned to me and said, "You jump, I jump." My response was "Who are you, Jack Dawson? Because I'm pretty sure you died in the end." For those of you who were either asleep during the 90s, or for some reason were living in a cave, when Rose is about to commit suicide by jumping off of the back of the Titanic, Jack stops her and says the exact line that that boy said to me. And if you can't figure out what movie I am referencing, maybe you need to go back to the cave. Anyways, it was clear that the boy had not been born in 1997, because he looked at me like I was a complete idiot.

In the end, I just had to close my eyes, count to three, and just leap off the edge.

And though I was not pulled out of the water by a werewolf, the adrenaline high I was on was amazing none the less, and I intend on going back at least once before I leave here.
