So all I really wanted was a beautiful (damnit! I never could spell that word, though I KNOW there is an A in there somewhere)summer tan to take back to Seattle and show off to all my pasty white friends (you know who you are). So when I went to Santa Cruze this weekend I thought it would be the perfect opportunity to get that tan. So I lay out in the sun in my bikini and dont put on any sunscreen. I figure I will wait awhile, get the tan, then cover myself with sunscreen so I wont burn. Well, its not exactly HOT out so I didnt know that I was burning. Everyone I was with have beautiful naturaly dark skin, and I was jealous. Everyone kept telling me I was going to burn, but I just told them to shut up and let me get my tan. So they did. Problem is, I got a burn! And not just any burn, this is the mother of all burns. Any more burned and I probably would have had to seek medical attention. God damnit! So now I cant go out in the sun for a long long time, I look like a fucking lobster, and I have to lather myself in lotion all day long to prevent peeling. Now I am probably going to die of skin cancer. All this for bragging rights. Well lesson learned (at least for this year, did I not mention this happenes every year?)
