It feels like summer finally kicked in. Finally! These past few weeks I've alternated between watching Scott, tutoring, boredom, and cleaning for the most part. The past week or so has been really fun. PUSO beach day was last Saturday, and even though I couldn't scrape my lazy ass from the apartment before 3pm, I thoroughly enjoyed myself the rest of the day. It's like I forgot and redicsovered my love of the beach. Strange. Today I caught some waves with Jacki, Kris, Vince, Ryan, and Melissa down at Newport. I guess the waves were pretty nice, but I'm oh-so-softcore when it comes to the ocean. I still can't swim if my life depended on it. I really have to work on that. Parking was a real pain in the buttocks. Took me twenty minutes of futility, but I squeezed (barely) into a meter spot right off the sand. Next time I use a meter, I'll be looking for a stupid dial. Damn meter ate four quarters before I figured it out. Totally and completely remorseless. How I despise paying for parking.

Several shades darker (I think I'm finally losing my fugly tan from trans retreat way back when) and all scraped up (never again without a rashguard... but I'll bet it'll happen again anyway), we were all washed up and headed back. I caught my meter just as time ran out. Thank God for good timing and good times. The sun shines gently in the skies now for me... It's just like the best nap of my life, two summers ago under a cabana at Raging Waters. Awesome.
