i'm sitting outside, on a pale green velvet couch on my front porch. i went to sauvie island again today. i swam a lot. i sunned, too. i'm getting tanner. i'm never sure what color i want to be. as soon as i start getting tan, i wish i was pale again. i want to go back again tomorrow. i need more freckles, dammit!
it's warm. well, it's not that warm anymore, but it's also the middle of the night, so it should be cooler. it's not quite bad enough to need to sleep with a wet towel, but maybe later this week it will be. or i could just sleep on the couch outside, but then i'd get mosquito bites. i already have some. i hate mosquitos. anything that bites me and makes me sting or get itchy makes me angry.
playing in the water today was fun. i was flinging handfuls of water up into the air, towards the sun. little bright globes. it's funny how they look so smooth, like tiny glass ballbearings. they caught the sunlight and made rainbows for me. i think the people on shore thought was crazy, splashing all by myself. we took a walk on shore, later, and came across a stretch of sand that glittered, like we'd found a hidden deposit of sand-diamonds. i picked up one of the pieces, thinking that we'd stumbled onto a pile of broken glass, remnants of a corona bottle shattered in a rage. instead, i held a tiny iridescent flake. fish scales. they coated the ground like some kind of confetti. it's too bad that nothing so beautiful comes off of my skin.
i'm hungry again. maybe i'll eat some mexican food leftovers. or maybe i'll bake a cake. nothing like baking a cake at 1:15am just for the hell of it.
oh, and al drew a picture of me. it's in the fan-art group. i look like a ballerina!
for everyone here. i'm happy today.

went kayaking on the mainecoast yesterday. got stuck in the tidal flats on the way out - jumped in the ocean afterwards, since i was covered in mud. cold, and refreshing.
