People! Friends of mine!

I am back from vacation, freckled and internet-having! Despite the fact that I managed to get a sunburn rash the likes of which I have never seen (despite wearing SPF 50 at the time. Woe is me and my lily-white skin!) and stung by a jellyfish, I had quite a good time at the beach with my family. The sand was powder-soft, the water was the perfect temperature, and I got to eat lots of fried shrimp! Also, there was reading and sleeping in late and watching of old movies and the writing of a beginning for my novel. And a newfound addiction to the most fun game on the planet, bananagrams (it's like Scrabble, only way faster and more fun! Yay!). I may also have rewatched "The Pandorica Opens" and "The Big Bang" during the eleven-hour ride back home. How will we survive till the Christmas special?

But alas, now I am back to real life, and that's never a good thing. The BFF is back in town, though, and that is good. And now I get to catch up with all of y'all lovely people. It'll take me a few days to catch up on my flist, so if something dreadfully ~important happened while I was out of touch, feel free to link me here. Surprisingly, I didn't really miss the internet while I was gone, though I did miss y'all. So catch me up on your lives!

Yay! I missed you! I have been busy watching Lost and taking pictures of my kitty (who has been busy spitting medicine at me) and being dissed by Emmie.

*is jealous of your beach-going and fried shrimp-eating* And I hope there was some kind soul willing to pee on you. Because of the jellyfish OMG what kind of perv do you think I am?

Yay! I missed you, too! I'm still conflicted about whether to get back into LOST, so I'll look forward to your final consensus. Yuck! Kitty!spitting!

But I want to know about being dissed by Emmie, of course!

Ha! Earlier in the week I explained to my mama that you were supposed to pee on yourself if you got stung yadayada and THEN IT HAPPENED TO ME. And I could not pee! Just like when I have to pee for the doctor--it's not performance anxiety, it's just like my bladder knows when it's going to be required to produce and it shrivels up. It was very vexing. So I had to find a lifeguard waaaaay down the beach with a spray bottle of vinegar. And later I put mustard on it. That was gross.

Your suggestiveness made me giggle. Naughty girl!

Dude, Emmie was here (and by "here" I mean her cousin's house is literally five minutes from mine) for an entire week, and didn't even deign to see me! She toyed with me, making fun plans and all, and then canceled them at the last minute. Emmie is a HOOR. :-P

LOL! That would totally happen to me if I was required to pee in an emergency situation. I can never pee for the doctor, either.
