Tanning @ MindSay

believe me, it's not all what you think it is.

 

She was lying next to me. The sun reflecting off her left earring. It was one of the same pair she wore everyday. She says she's always too lazy to change them. They weren't that exciting, just plain silver flowers. But they were still pretty; like her. Ridiculously so. And just lying there. Right next to me. In a black two piece, tanning. We went in the sea before so her skin was glistening against the sun. She was lying on her back as well. So it was easy to sea the fine line of her not quite there ab muscles. She undid the straps of her top and folded them over in a way so only her nipples were covered in order to get her barely visible tan lines. I was to her left, lying on my stomach facing her. I was lightly sleeping until a minute ago, and now I can't get my eyes to close. Jesus, I'm staring. And I can't help myself. It's a good thing she's looking the other way. We're good friends, and I'm grateful for these opportunities to hang out. I really wish there could be more. But, you know, the truth of it is, she's just not that into it.

Damn it! I still have Sweeney Todd songs stuck in my brain. I saw the movie twice. Downloaded the songs. Have played them repeatedly for days. They won't come out of my head. And so I walk around singing random songs. "With the price of meat what it is, when you get it, if you get it . . . . good you got it." I even have the timing perfect on that one. And Helena Bonham Carter does have about the same intonation as me.

 

Another BS day. We did have a conversation about rentamidget.com that was absolutely hilarious at about 3:00p. I was laughing so hard I couldn't breathe. Then I went back inside and realized I'm going to be moving furniture all day tomorrow. As well as translating French. Damn Labplas.

 

Then I overdid it at the tanning bed. I am crispy. In January. Now THAT's funny. But it kinda hurts. So I'm going to go soak my skin in hot water. I know I know. But it always works for me. Oh yeah! And I have a line. Right down the middle of my stomach. God I miss Island Shack right about now.

Finally have my tanning bed; I didn't use to use them.  Don't use them during the summer. But once winter comes around I look like a Saltine cracker lol. I'm not one that has to be so dark its ridiculous; just like a little color. 

 

 

so today i went to the ocean and....

MY LEGS GOT TAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! holy cow, this is the most amazing day of my entire existance!

I called my mom today and asked her what my first word and first sentence was...and this is what she told me...

First word: Da Da

First sentence: No! I'm not going to!

 

yep, sure as heck sounds like me all right...well not that dada part...cause i don't even like my dad. So anyways i think i'm going to go....May the force be with you!

So I tried out a tanning booth for the first time ever tonight.  Very interesting but I've learned that, over all, I'm too big for most things at the gym.  No no, not rotundness, but simply size.  The calf machines we were working on were too small for my long legs, both of them, and no matter what I did I felt like I was bumping into something in the booth.

Small hint of advice: do not do a tanning booth after a nice leg workout.  You have to stand for over six minutes... very weird when your legs already want to give out on you.
