I had spf 45 on, but I wasn't expecting to be out in the sun for an hour and a half.
We could have grabbed a cab! I'm sorry!
I tan extremely well. A bit of redness sometimes, but rarely a full burn.
Gunn: The final score can't be rigged. I don't care how many players you grease, that last shot always comes up a question mark. But here's the thing. You never know when you're taking it. It could be when you're duking it out with the Legion of Doom, or just crossing the street deciding where to have brunch. So you just treat it like it was up to you—the world in balance—'cause you never know when it is.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?
What is this "tan" that you people speak of?

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Oh, my god, why is Livejournal sucking so much?

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.
The only time I've ever had a decent tan was the years I worked at Six Flags, out in the sun every day, liberally applying sun block, and then I only had a really good farmer's tan (and my hair had sun-bleached itself to a golden blond, which made people ask if I was coloring my hair.) Otherwise I just burn and the skin heals a tad bit darker.

Punishingly Intricate
I used to burn and peel but now if I burn at all it turns right into tan. I'm guessing because I actually try to consistently use sunscreen now.

It always drove me nuts that my sister got more of Dad's Swedish skin than Mom's Irish fairness, whereas I'm the other way around. I remember my first summer spent in Milwaukee during college, when I managed to get so badly burnt on my first visit to the beach that I ended up with a mild case of sun poisoning--I spent the night shivering and on the verge of throwing up after my roommate helped me coat Noxema on the burns.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

Whatever. I'm not done blaming the victim, yet.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Oh, my god, why is Livejournal sucking so much?
It really really is.
Juliana, pfft. It's not like you forced me outside and locked the door behind me. Unless that would get me another mojito, in which case that is EXACTLY what happened.
In completely different news, has anyone flown Frontier airlines? Are they any good?

Let me know when you are, okay?

Poor, Lee! And Emily got blisters on that forced march stroll by the water.

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda
I was saved from the popular activity in my high school years of coating oneself with baby oil and lying out for hours by my intolerance of boredom (it's hard to read in full sun) and heat. Little did I know what a good thing that piece of asocial behavior would turn out to be. I did have a few awful sunburns from going to the beach, particularly in the dark ages before sunscreen.
