Music: Yeah Yeah Yeahs - Date With the Night
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The shore was AWESOME yesterday. Not even almost dieing spoiled the day.
The water was crazy cold, but the waves didn't let me take too long getting in. It was a total blast splashing in the waves with V, Ree, and Jason. Shawn spent a lot of time sunbathing. I did a little bit of that too, and actually got a tan! Well...for me it's tan...And I even did a good deed! I managed to get Ree's glasses back from the under the water and held on to them when I got wrecked by a wave. Woo!
But...I did almost drown. Something caused massive waves to show up. Five in a row. I'm...not a very good swimmer. I don't know how to dive under waves properly, and the ironic part was that Ree had been trying to show me how to. Basically I got knocked down, flipped around, dragged across the bottom, popped back up, took a little breath, got knocked down, flipped around, got back up, DIDN'T breath, got knocked down, yadda yadda yadda...
I was done swimming after that.
Then we went to the arcades down at Seaside, got some hardcore photobooth pictures, played some DDR, and after walking to Bangledesh and back, I got some taffy.
After that and a traffic filled ride back, we went to Kyra's for one last swimming party before she goes back to KU. Bye, Kyra! See you soon!
And now today. I've spent most of the time I've been awake reading. I went to B&N today and used the gift card Aunt Paula and Uncle Bob gave me for my birthday. I got my own copy of Wicked since I gave Kyra hers back last night, and Catch 22, a book I've been meaning to read for awhile. I've decided on a reading list for myself:
Wicked
Diary (another Chuck Palahniuk book)
Catch 22
Me Talk Pretty One Day (Still gotta buy it)
Man...my back is killing me. I'm probably gonna use this as a night off from being social. It's kinda rough to get up...I was going to try and learn a character in Soul Caliber II today, but I think I'll put that off until tomorrow. I don't really want to get up right now.
