FUCK YES MY FRIENDS ARE AWESOME

INTERNET. This has been the best weekend ever!! [personal profile] soleta and [personal profile] kate are here for the weekend, and it is pretty fucking great! SO. Saturday, we went to the carnival, AND IT WAS GREAT. THERE WAS A TILT-A-WHIRL, AND IT WAS LOTS OF FUN OMG. I fucking love tilt-a-whirls. Nothing will ever beat that one time at Canobie where the dude running it let me stay on for, like, two hours. I FELL OVER WHEN I GOT OFF, BUT IT WAS TOTALLY WORTH IT. My stomach seriously hurt from all the loling I did. (Apparently, I still react to carnival rides with hysterical laughter. IT IS GREAT.)

And then there was the spinny thing (YOU KNOW THE ONE THAT GOES REALLY FAST AND STICKS YOU TO THE WALL) but the floor didn't drop out so that wasn't as fun as, you know, the ones where the floor drops out. THOSE ARE SO GREAT. And then ferris wheel, WHICH ALSO IS AWESOME. I love ferris wheels only a little more than I am afraid of heights. SO, IT WAS AWESOME, BUT ALSO FULL OF TERROR. AWESOME TERROR.

ALSO: FRIED DOUGH AND COTTON CANDY. Oh my god internet how much do I fucking love fried dough and cotton candy? I COULD EAT IT ALL DAY, EVERY DAY, FOREVER. IT WOULD BE GREAT. I would die of a heart attack at age thirty-five, but it would be so totally worth it.

OKAY BUT THEN RIGHT. YESTERDAY. ([livejournal.com profile] ishie and [personal profile] semtex THIS IS THE PART YOU ASKED ABOUT). Yesterday my neighbors were moving in, and so I was outside with the dog, grilling, so that the dog wouldn't be barking at them going in and out. And their dog got out, so I stepped on Robin's rope, so that he couldn't take off and harass their dog, because it is a tiny little pomeranian and Robin is... enthusiastic. And so the rope was sort of wrapped over my foot.

And, internet, I do not know if you know this, but SOME THINGS. THAT YOU DO WITH SNEAKERS ON. ARE NOT THINGS YOU SHOULD DO BAREFOOT. AS HARD AS IT IS FOR ME TO ADMIT IT, IT IS TRUE.

So I have this epic rope burn going up the side of my foot and across the top. It is seriously epic you guys. :( When we went to the movies, I threw sandals on and thought it would be okay! Because the sandals only pressed against a little bit of it! And then we left the movie and it had gone from "slightly painful" to "OH GOD OH GOD CUT IT OFF OH GOD" excruciating pain. IT SUCKED A LOT SO I MADE KATE STOP AT CVS SO I COULD GET GAUZE AND WRAP IT BEFORE THE CARNIVAL.

This story is not in chronological order.

Anyway, it was fine when I went to bed, it fucking hurt but it was fine-ish. And I woke up this morning, and it had bled through a couple layers of gauze. Which, wtf foot, why are you bleeding for no reason >:( Why didn't you start bleeding when I was, idk, walking on you all through the carnival? Huh? Huh?? In any case, my shower was SUPER FUCKING PAINFUL and I was concerned about the whole "ocean" and "salt water" thing.

SPEAKING OF THE OCEAN!! Kate and I went to the ocean!! The first beach we tried was clogged with seaweed, and you guys, I really fucking hate wet stringy things near my legs. So we went back to the one that we went to last September.

And then proceeded to spend two hours way the fuck out in neck-deep water in the May ocean. WHICH, IS REALLY NOT WARM. Like, we got back in the car! And I was all freezing! But when I touched my skin! It was warm! AND THEN I REALIZED THAT MY OUTSIDE WASN'T COLD, MY INSIDES WERE COLD AND IT WAS THE WEIRDEST FEELING EVER OH MY GOD. My entire body was jello, and still is jello, because apparently it takes energy or something to hang out in an ocean with lots of waves. WHATEVER.

(The ocean really fucking hurt my foot for a while, and then it stopped hurting, and then I got back to the car and washed off all the sand that had clogged the massive raw spot, and it started hurting again. :( I WANT TO GO BACK TO THE OCEAN AND JUST LIVE IN IT UNTIL THIS HEALS. I can't really walk right now because it hurts.)

It was fucking great and I love the ocean. And I brought sunscreen and didn't put it on. And managed not to get an awful sunburn!!

Except

on my right arm

where it hung out the window the entire way down.

:(

IN ANY CASE. BEST WEEKEND EVER. Now we're all watching Zoolander, which is just as hilarious as it was when I was in high school.
