Aliens, Feet and Sunburns

You know, my loverlies, one of my favorite movies is Independence Day. Not really for any other reason, but that the world becomes one team. We all start working together in this cohesive unit of human beings, moving as one, striking as one, reclaiming our lives all as one. Epic, no?

I love unity. I love people all coming together in any shape or form and I especially love it when things are on an even playing field. Like the World Cup. *angels singing* I love it for so many reasons, like for the unity of it all. But even more so for the fact that its doesnt feel like USA is doing something and letting some other kids come along too. Like the olympics, sometimes I feel would be so very triumphant if we didnt dominate everyone and their mother. So this World Cup, I love it. I feel unified with the entire world. Third world countries, former imperialist countries... everyone. And I love that I have a reason to watch and hope and hold my breath. I dont know already that USA has the best shot to win. We get to be underdogs and it gets my blood pumping! I wish we could have a World Cup every year! I think every summer should be dotted with swimming, sunburns and international sporting events blaring in the background of every country.

Maybe then, every summer, heros could be made and dreams could be reached in a way that is so harmless, so intrisically true in every way. But... enough of my rants and generalizations about just a game. Lets move on to more important things.

The sun beat me up this last weekend at the lake and my friends want me to try round two this weekend at a different lake. I love the lakes. I love the fun to run around swimming with friends, expending energy and just having general summer fun, but here is my delima. Having been sick, I dislike being so far away from home. It makes me nervous to be an hour out of the way of my house living on nothing but a prayer and a change of clothes. Also, my other friends are going to watch Toy Story 3 the same day and if I stay at the lake, I wont make it back.

I... KNOW! Me, the nerd who was so white she got slammed with a sunburn on her first glimpse at the summer sun wants to hang out with two different groups of people in ONE day?! Who am I and what have I done with myself?!
