A 5th of July, please

I am SO paying for misdeeds this weekend. Not the usual hangover or trouble in school on Monday. No excessive drinking, and a sizeable chunk of homework was done.

Sunblock. I really need to remember to apply sunblock in the future. I think this situation is even worse than my usual food poisoning episodes. I went to Jones Beach with Chris and Simon on Saturday. The weather was perfect, my companions were perfect, my recall of when to apply sunblock was less than perfect. I didn't apply it in the car, as it would have been messy. I didn't apply the sunblock once we got to the parking lot, as I wanted to get to the beach quickly. I didn't apply the sunblock when we got on the beach, as it was difficult to rub it once I was covered in sand.

I knew I was in trouble when Simon looked at me and told me to get my shirt on. I figured it was because I was much fatter than the other guys on the beach, then I noticed my body flashing like some kind of brake light. Hmmm, maybe I should have put on that sunblock FIVE HOURS AGO.

Now I'm slathered alternatively in aloe vera and lotion, and the shedding begins in the next few days. I'll forget this by next year, and the circle of life will begin again.

Well, next time when you go to the beach, don't forget to take me with you, and I would love to put the sunblock on you.
