Blood Red Summer
in response to slo's wonderful beach picture, this is the down side. although the beach might look appealing from afar or in pictures, once experiencing it first hand you'll know it's not all it's cracked out to be. the beach is a dangerous place. there's sharks, crabs and sting rays in the water, nasty sea gulls everywhere, and the oh so annoying cancer rays which can cause sun burn. refer to picture above. now i'm not going to knock the beach completely because once the burns subsided i had a most awesome tan. i no longer looked like casper and didn't blend with my white shirts. other than the tan and spending time with my friends i have trouble supporting why the beach is so great. maybe i just haven't found the right beach?

Aloe Vera does wonders for a sunburn.
Definately go at night.

I'm not a fan of beaches either, and have not been to one in about 6 years. As sloganx said...sunblock (spf greater then 55) and aloe vera are good things to have.
haha yea. that day totally skipped on the sun block. definitely learned my lesson. Aloe vera was my best friend the rest of that week. i'll try going during the night this summer.
Ouch! The last time I had a sunburn, I think it was on this kayaking trip for my gym class. I put like sunblock everywhere, but one place, my face. Ack! And I have to agree with the aloe vera thing. Works super well :). Hey, you only have one day left of school!! You can do it.
yey one more day... yea totally lost the excitement at the moment. damn college.
face sun burns are the worst. I'd show the pictures of my face after that day but they are way too gruesome. i swear my skin peeled the day of.
