Beach > pool or lake.

Beach = no natural shade for us pale people + salt water tastes gross + lack

Therefore: Lake > Beach

Booyakasha! (I don't know why I did that)

Lakes own the beach simply due to the fact that they don't contain massive amounts of salt.
Other than that... well, paleskins like me burn just as easy on a sunny day by a lake as at the beach lol

In New Jersey I was a surfer and ocean person & pool swimmer second. But in Florida I don't do the ocean because of sharks, stingrays, jellyfish, man o' wars, etc. and I don't do lakes because of alligators and snakes.

I use 65_SPF sunblock if I'm out between noon to 3pm and 30_SPF tanning lotion after 3pm. The 65 sunblock feels like liquid car wax on your skin but it works.

Hey, I'm as pale as i not paler than all of you, yet I'd rather swim in the ocean than a lake any day. The beach has waves, and sand, and hell, I like the salty air smell and the salty water.

Maybe it's because I lived at the beach during my early childhood, and it's nostalgic, I dunno. I love it.

Hey everyone I was just dropping in to tell you all that I'm alive and well and hope that you are all the same. I regret that I rarely have time to stop by lately but I doubt that'll change anytime soon.

Oh I'll be around though...I'll be around.

Thats good news, glad to know you'll be around . . .

Well, if life is busy, there ain't much we can do about it except make the best of it.

um, what work, I haven't done anything new in ages... eh, well I did something and I even wanted to do a mod for MW - you know, not just leave the things LYING THERE, in some cave in Ashlands... but that's ditched now.

Anyway.
It's a good 15 minutes when I am not having sneezing fits. And when mom isn't feeling like she's going to faint [poor circulation in the back of the neck]. So please, if I sometimes sound like I want to bite off your head, forgive me.

I understand this. That the sun and I do not get along! I turn red then white again. Oh well. My favorite sunblock is "Stay Indoors 24/7"

I've heard that sunblock that is 60+ is just as harmful as the sun and is carcenogic. But that's just what I've heard. I'm a 30 person myself. It does the trick for me (most of the time....).


Man, my long weekend is BUSY. Last night I went to the bar with friends, tonight I'm going to a different bar with those same friends. Sunday I'm going to my other friend's BBQ, and on Monday I'm going with another group of my friends to an amusement park. That means I don't think I'll be drinking too much Sunday. I need my stomach in tip-top shape if I wanna ride Top-Gun!


Oh yea, I also splurged like heck yesterday. I spent like $100 on CDs followed by another $100 on books (and one of them was free too!). I think the main reason it was so expensive was becasue I bought "One Flew Over the Cockoo's Nest". For such a small, paperback book I find it shocking that it's $21. It better be as good as they say it is!

Its a good book, I think you might find it rather amusing actually.

I'm having car trouble. It's not good. My car is stuck for the weekend at a repair shop 85 miles from where I live. Not good at all.

Sure, not having the car can be an inconvenience, but look on the bright side, now you got lots of time to do some writing!

Aye, and I'll be doing some of that, but I work (until the end of August) in Bozeman, which is 180 miles or so from Missoula. So I'll be missing work on Monday at the least, since none of the repair shops in Deer Lodge are open on weekends.

I don't put the 65_SPF on my face because I found it clogs my pores. Hmm, maybe I'll just use 30_SPF all the time.

When my sister came from Calif to visit, she and I spent 2 days side-stroke swimming and talking for hours in her hotel pool. I carefully used sunscreen everywhere ... but afterwards the part of my hair was sore with sunburn! Never had that happen any other time. lol

Yay! Welcome back Ibis! Long time no see.....I´m glad you´re back here again....missed you, you know!

It´s extremely hectic at work these two weeks, so I might not be online that much...Sorry but I´ll be back more often.

Besides I´m off to Italy on friday....vacation!

Ooooooooooh..... burned scalp.... ouch. I hear that can be very painful sometimes lol

EDIT: Also, it is really hard to find a job for me right now. And I need money...

Wish I had a vacation... oh well. I'll live [until the day I die, of course].

I'm worried about a friend. Problem is, I have a damn job interview tomorrow [it is 4 real this time, as the people who work in and lead the company are related to my relatives] so I don't know will I be able to stay up long enough to speak with said friend. Godamnit.

awe, sorry to hear that Mil. But good luck with your job interview.

Oh, dangit, Friday is when I get back from NZ...... dangit. When I get back, I'll kill all of you because I lost that bloody clash...... or just demand a law-suit because the pacifist won...... *goes of to decide how to blast Chorrol in Oblivion...... that's not a bad idea, Deadra rise again!*

???NZ??? OHHHH ... I C now. Lord Revan and Pisces are in cahoots!!! Probably against me in the planned upcoming invasion of Florida (so they think.)

Yeee shall not prevail!! We face the battlin guns at Georgia, have the Gasparilla pirates patrolling the gulf, Jimmy Buffet & crew guarding the keys, Capt. Jack Sparrow, etc. riding the Pearl up and down the Atlantic coastline and Sonny Crockett with Elvis Alligator heading the operations in Miami. You'll not come within a ratio of the Sunshine State. Oh yeh, almost forgot that NASA guards us by air and you will be swallowed in the Bermuda Triangle if you try.

Of course most of our forces are drunk and eat very, very bad eggs ... and are crazy too boot, but they still prevail! Throw down your bolo's, Zeelanders - none beat Florida, 'cept in football occassionally.

Well after spending an entire day outside at Wonderland (which is probably our top amusement park in the country, though I could be wrong) I'm happy to say that I did not get painfully burnt. I was surprized actually because at times it was quite sunny and the weather was that deceiving kind of cool that's just asking to burn you. Fortunately, two applications of sunscreen was enough.

My best wishes goes out to Milanius for his job interview. Hopefully you had the stamina to have a chat with your friend as well.

And to Revan. You better make sure you spare me. I voted for Rhys I swear!

have to admit I voted for Serene - I missed hearing about her so much. And yes, very good luck to Milanius in his job interview. I hope your friend is alright.

Awww how sweet...hmm yeah, there has been silence now about Renie for quite some time, due to a chaotic RL and writer´s block!

I know where she´s going to but I don´t know how to get her there!...

Oh and Mil my dear...best of luck to you!

Ok y'aall, heads up ... I'm flying off to Star Wars Galaxies for July. Just giving warning that I may disappear again abit. Cain and I are going to throw a really big fireworks/dance/music celebration at Mos Eisley starport on Tattooine (the newbie starter city) on & around the 4th of July INGAME for anyone who plays SWG. C'mon 'n join the fun!!

Shut up, I'm not a Kiwi! I'm a Texan we've got the Texas Rangers (AKA, Los Diablos de Texas/ the Texas Devils) We also have NOD to aid us in our indeavor, Kane Lives!!! (CAC), we will drop nukes, Tiberium bombs, and mines upon the Eastern Seaboard!!! Down with GDI!

{Maniical Laughter}-------{Cough, danggit, ruined the incredibly evil monologue} Oh, btw, all the aforementioned events witrh befall those who side with the pacifist..... and much more is in store {cough, crap}

PS: It's REVAN, like from StarWars: KOTOR.

A 1000 'SORRIES' Lord Revan. And no worries, you're TEXAN ,, Cain & I honeymooned in San Antone for 4 yrs = we are on the same sidee of the coin. Let's squash that sushi Pisces and grill him up for the 4th of July BBQ!!!
Besides, I just realized that mission control for NASA is indeed in Houston ... so our aireal support in FLA could be overriidden there ... but we p'wn the Devil's Triangle off Bermuda.

......Fine, and it's San Antonio. Florida will not be doomed..... but it's a bit late to grill Piscles where I am.

It's never too late.

Minkey & everyone, thank you for warm wishes & support. While this might not even be anywhere close to 'dream job', it'll probably give me relatively good amount of cash.

But anyway, RAIN FELL. \o/

Transformers was awesome and UFC 73 is on tonight!

That is all.

I'm going to see Transformers later this week with my friend.

I went to see Transformers Friday night with my boyfriend, it was awesome.

I went to the doctor Friday about the nausea that's plagued me since Wednesday. My doctor thinks I have hypoglycemia. I'm getting my blood sugar level tested this Friday. Joy.... being poked and proded with needles all over again. I don't care what anyone says, I've been poked with needles several times, and I never got used to it, nor the sight of my own blood filling a needle.

Eeeguuughgh!

I've never gotten bloodwork done, which sounds like what you're basically getting done, but the only needle that I've received that actually was painful afterwards was my second "booster" shot (I think it covers things like tetnus, and a couple other, long named things). It was painful because they basically stabbed me with it in order to go deep enough into the muscle (or through it, I forget) to inject.

I've also gotten needles in my mouth, those are totally fun!

I just don't try to look at them since I figure I would tense up, which would result in a more painful needle.

I think needles are cool. Think about it; how is it that they can stick something so deep into you without it hurting? I think its awesome.

And Transformers was a life changing movie.

gah.... i've been away from this place far to long. do you still serve drinks and some of that delicious pie here?

needles? blech, i've never liked them either. *shudder* Well Zarr, I wish you the best of luck this Friday.

I might be going to see Transformers tomorrow (well... technically today but he sun hasn't risen yet ) that is if i can mooch some money off my brother

Ugh, I hate needles. *shudder*.

The worst one was the time I had to get a tooth pulled. The tooth was fine, it was just sitting in the way, according to the dentist. I think he just wanted to be sadistic for once. So they stuck a needle in my mouth to tranquilize the area and it damn bloody hurt! Five minutes later, he finds the tranquilizer didn't work so he did it again!

Long story short. Five needles later, my mouth had swollen a ton from all that tranquilizer and it still didn't work. Either he is a lousy needler, or I'm immune to the stuff. Anyway, I got the tooth pulled without any working tranquilizer. More hurt. Damn, I hate dentists.


Or the time they stabbed like ten different needles in my arm for a regular allergy-test. Swelling=allergy. Big swelling=big allergy. Imagine their surprise when my whole arm grew like a balloon. I couldn't bend my elbow properly for two days. And it felt so awkward.

Arrr matey, I hate needles.

Dentists aren't the best but my all time worst is when i broke my arm earlier this year and had to have surgery. There was a nurse that had to shove a needle in my body to get some fluid in and whatnot. so instead of trying to get that vein on the inside of my arm...... she tried to shove it into my bloody hand!

garg, it sucked. She shoved it in once and then said "oops, i think i missed" so she pulled it out and put it back in.

"oops, i missed"

I swear that this went on a few more times, and i don't know if she realized she wasn't going to get the damned thing or if i said something but she finally decided to try the vein in the arm... viola first try she got it in. My hand was sore for a bit... until l i got the cool sleepy drug

edit: and the sad thing is that she wasn't one of those young blond nurses either, she was an older one that should have known what she was doing

I'm fine with needles, they're not fun, but I don't hate them. I always got a laugh out of my mom's stories about some of those big football players breaking down at the sight of needles. And yeah, she's blonde and she's a nurse.

Bloody terminology these days.....

Well on Wednesday I'm leaving to Toronto for the day to check out a possible residence to live in while I attend college there in September. The place we have our eyes on sounds like a pretty good deal given that it's all inclusive and it will supposedly be completely furnished and provide cable TV and internet. As such, it's a bit more pricey than the other places we've checked out, but in reality it's just $100 more than what we've been looking at and when you think about how much furnishings can cost, it's a really good deal.

Hopefully once we check it out, it still appeals to us. The only thing is that I'm going to have to use my credit card to pay for first and last month's rent since I haven't gotten my latest paycheque yet.

After being an outpatient at the Veteran's Administration since 1978, I could have bloodwork done and happily eat a pancake breakfast at the same time. Standard vampiric ediquette at the blood lab is for the patient and phlobodomist to cheerfully greet, then compare their respective active duty branches, favorite permanent duty stations, what war each was in ... all the while totally ignoring that needles and tubes are being implemented except for the rolling up sleeve/baring of the favored arm and the ceremonious applying of the huge cottonball and tape ... which is color coded to what service you were in.

Zarr, hypoglycemia is a very liveable with disorder .. my dad and two of my sisters have it to varying degrees. It mainly entails eating correctly and especially getting a good breakfast so you don't suddenly 'fade' out in the middle of mall traffic somewhere later in the day. Some cases take medication but my family need only eat properly ... not too much sugar, lots of natural fruit and veggies and protein. You will have to get used to periodic blood tests though. ....see above paragraph.

has anyone else encountered Terence the Server Hamster in their travels here on the forums? O_o

and did someone mention the invasion of florida?

No, I think that he left after my war fan-fic started gaining some steam..... Looks like I'll need to fire it up again it would seem. cameos and all that

Who is Terence the Server-hamster, if I may ask?

He would show up with an error message if a search failed or something like that here.... I haven't gotten that kind of thing since I just started out.

Ah, never met him.

just type in something like chorrol.com/lol and he'll show up.

Oooo, sounds like fun! Maybe I shall try it when I'm not busy making a resume for my Toronto job.

True.
I was desensitized to taking injections into my butt at early age, but getting a needle in the vein is always uneasy, eerie feeling. Hang in there, Care Bear.


Weather is unbelievably cold and gloomy today. I love it. I already feel better just from the cold breeze and the fact we don't have to shower 4 times a day to stay alive.

I always have to wait for movies to come to video because Cain refuses to sit in dank, deseasey theatres full of squealing rugrats n curtain-climbers, sticky floors, greasy armrests and overpriced bad food. So I am this summer waiting still for Pirates of the Carribean III, Shrek III, Transformers and some lesser ones. Probe by labor Day for Pirates and in the fall for the others. Doesn't take long really anymore.
