i'm going to the beach with my folks this weekend. tomorrow night, actually. they usually rent a condo for a week every summer. maybe i should pack?

for the record, i do not tan. i burn-and-peel. i don't mind being pale. keeps my whole Venus D'Milo image going. except that i have arms.

i prefer the beach in the winter anyway. you know, when it's angry and brooding and dark. i feel like i can just have a better conversation with it when it's like that. besides the sand never looks like sugar where we go, so why should i have to feel shiny and happy? but i might get my wish; it's supposed to storm most of the weekend.
