about the beach, sibling bonding, and baby tigers
So...
I went to Myrtle beach with the parents last weekend. It was great.
The water was warm, the currents were great (except for the ones that tried to take my bathing bottom away. That wasn't nice) but saturday was a lot of fun, when the currents were nicer.
So my youngest brother and I spent the weekend bonding, and I made a discovery: my dad, my brother and I are equally obsessed with the mirror and with looking juuuust right. My brother and my dadkept their sunglasses on the entire time; my brother wore long sleeves even though it was nice and hot, and he swam (sp?) in at the beach and in the pool with his glasses; I went and bought me an ankle bracelet for swimming, and the day my brother wore longsleeves I wore all black, even though it was also very sunny. Hmm, we're a family of very vain people ^^!
At night my brotherand I went to this haunted house, which was a lot of fun, but it was even better because in our group there were these two girls who kept freaking out for the slightest thing. Man, it was hilarious (yes,my brother and I are also evily sadistic) and we couldn't stop laughing at them.
We also spent the rest of the night at the Ripley's oditorium, which had an amazing assortment of objects built out of human parts. There was also a collection of torture devices (the evil scientist in me was very interested.) My brother saw a pair scissors with the label "castration" and asked me what that meant. I looked at him at told him it was only used on men, and he got it right away. That expression was priceless.
I also got my picture taken with a tiger cub. It was soooo cuuute!! God, it was so amazing, and they gave me a bottle to feed him while they put him on my lap for the pic. It was so cool. They also put a baby ctiger (six weeks) right against my cheek. It wasn't as soft as a cat, but it was the most adorable little thing I've ever seen. I scratched her ear and she leaned into my hand and closed her little eyes (aw!) It was so cool, I'll post the pic next time I go to the parent's.
So that was my vacation, besides my busting my little finger. I was playing a carnival game involving a hammer. It had a little chain to attach it to the table (I guess people will steal even that) but it was broken, and when I swung it my little finger got caught between the hammer and the chain and I gotstabbed by the corner of my own nail. I couldn't get it out of my flesh, but it's healing nicely. It didn't even hurt, it was just freaky and kind of bloody. I only noticed because of the blood (hmm, blood)
