File under 'summer'.

It was a blazing day at the beach yesterday, with a light sea breeze, perfect conditions. And so quiet... I can see why people pick other beaches, cause there were a lot of rocks just off shore, but it was worth it for the space. I went with Quarters, TheRock, SisterA, SisterB, I'mSorry (SisterA's boyfriend) and BigDave. We all stripped down and got straight in the water, screw self-consciousness… I was trying to remember the last time I went to the beach with those guys. I think it must have been like… two years ago? At least that's the last time I remember. I don't go to the beach much, for someone who lives so near the sea. I was going out with Hedgehog at the time, and I remember I hurled some clay at him for fun (it had been underneath the water, and really wet, so it didn't hurt), and he got in a massive stress with me, and wouldn't talk to me. Ahh, good times.

This time it was a different beach, and Hedgehog wasn't there. TheRock raced me across the sand- "like Baywatch!" he said.
He's gotten so buff over the past year or so… all golden haired and manly... course he's always been blond, but not always so impressive and blond. And the nice thing about him being gay is that there's no worries for me with thinking stuff like that, cause you know there's never going to be a crush resulting from it.

We played rounders , in tiny teams, which was both fun and incompetent because none of us are remotely sporty.

Such a perfect day… Then I had to catch the bus for a 6 hour hectic shift, and came home exhausted. Waitressing involves muscles, especially at Pub because all the crockery is earthenware and weighs a ton. Woke up today all stiff, and have been taking it easy since.

A level results tomorrow… Finally…… It should be alright, I put in the work. But I still get a little stomach lurch thinking about it. And I really hope my friends get what they want, too. Particularly LGC, cause she has her heart set on dentistry (not the most common fantasy job, but it really is hers), and was worried about a couple of her exams. LGC does tend to worry about academic stuff with no grounds for it, but she did take chemistry and maths, both of which are somewhat harsh by most people's standards.

Heh… she came up with a code for asking her how her results are. I don't know if she'll remember about it tomorrow though, cause it was a long time ago.
Me: "Do you like glass?"
Her: "Yes, yes, glass is great. I LOVE glass!"
… means she got what she wants.
Me: "Do you like glass?"
Her: *sadly* "Glass? Oh, no. It's too sharp for me."
… means "Too painful to talk about."
