First Beach Day

thatdarngirl by thatdarngirl · Jun 23, 2003 · 403 views · Journal

Yahoo! (A rather bad search engine) Today was the first official beach Monday of the season. What a beautiful day we had! Not a cloud in the sky, freezing cold water, and a lack of sun tan lotion so we are now all pink. I've never driven down to the beach for the day by myself until today, lots of fun! Got to eat some wonderful White Castle and become indignant about the false advertisement of rest stops (if they say they have a cinabun place..they should have one). I also learned how to play Rumi 500 for the 3rd time today..always a good experience. Now Malibu will be mad that I beat her to writing a journal about today..also good.

Anyone who would like to joy us in our summer ritual: We go to Island Beach State Park every Monday of the summer. We usually park ourselves at Beach 2 if it is open.

I love cinnabon, i hate it when they trick you into thinkin its there when its not....think they beek inhaling the cinnamon

ok4now #2 ok4nowOG 2002

lovin the rummy...great day for being outside. is it safe to say it wasn't too crowded?

thatdarngirl #2.1 thatdarngirlOG 2002

It was so crazily uncrowded! They only had one beach open there and it wasn't bad at all.

raerae #3 raeraeFounder

i'm soo sunburned :( but it was so fun

thatdarngirl #3.1 thatdarngirlOG 2002

Oh so am I. Very odd shaped sunburn too that was murder during graduation today.

beachbum #4 beachbumOG 2002

what beach did you go to?

malibu #4.1 malibuOG 2001

island beach. its right by seaside.

malibu #5 malibuOG 2001

best day!! my shoulders kinda hurt right now though. perfect fun. its usually the second beach on the left if anyone else needed more specifics.

beachbum #5.1 beachbumOG 2002

i love island beach. it has some of the clearest water in nj-sometimes

malibu #5.1.1 malibuOG 2001

its a half an hour longer drive for us than pt. pleasant, but i think its so worth it. $6 per car instead of per person. and it doesn't smell.

thatdarngirl #5.2 thatdarngirlOG 2002

My shoulders still really hurt a lot to..and I burnt my clavicle! So very horrible.

forrestina #5.2.1 forrestinaOG 2002

*gasps* "your claviacle is showing"

skaorsk8 #5.2.1.1 skaorsk8OG 2002

hmmmm seems like its snowing in florida, ehh? (what does this mean?)

thatdarngirl thatdarngirlOG 2002

Do you really not know?

skaorsk8 skaorsk8OG 2002

doesn't it mean "a giant booger is coming out of your nose"?

thatdarngirl thatdarngirlOG 2002

Very close. See, it's a giant symbol for something. A girls arm, because it is shaped like Florida, is represented by the word Florida. Bras only come in the color white according to this symbol and because of that they are represented by snow. Snow is white most of the time. I guess if you're wearing a black bra that black snow on the side of the road is the stuff that florida is getting.

skaorsk8 skaorsk8OG 2002

i think snow is kinda racist. i mean, why snow gotta be WHITE! and what do people say! oh, the snow is dirty now, shovel it into the sewers! just because it's BLACK!! and why do they put in the BLACK olives in the can! are they hiding them? The green olives get put in jars!

forrestina forrestinaOG 2002

great here goes dan with the olives again

skaorsk8 skaorsk8OG 2002 forrestina

i learned that from steve mahwhinny. he's my hero.

forrestina forrestinaOG 2002 skaorsk8

yo i think he's dead i haven't seen him in ages

skaorsk8 skaorsk8OG 2002 forrestina

me and him went to forked river for the weekend last weekend!! we had an awesome time!! we had mind erasers...hahaha...good fun

forrestina forrestinaOG 2002 skaorsk8

those things are nuts...um at least that's what i hear. my aunt has a house there you could've stayed for free!

skaorsk8 skaorsk8OG 2002 forrestina

hahah we crashed with some friends anyway...YO they have THE BEST go-kart track in this town called Bayville...actually that's probably near where Brett lives? Not sure. The go-karts rule though. Now the British guys want to do go-karts. Closest place is in Parsippany, I think. Ty, Dean...saturday?? ehhh??

forrestina forrestinaOG 2002 skaorsk8

i stay at my aunts forever. she lives on the bay. she takes us out in her speedboat and on the waverunners. mmmm the luxury of having the summer off i miss it!

beachbum beachbumOG 2002 skaorsk8

best go karts are in wildwood-the fast track. there were 7 go karts and 7 of us. we lined up and had the guy count down so we could race. it was brutal

skaorsk8 skaorsk8OG 2002 beachbum

this is a little far to drive for an afternoon, all the way to wildwood. sheesh. why aren't there any in NORTH jersey? ever since speedway closed. and that wasn't even that great. although its' a skatepark now. but i'm too old to go to that.

beachbum beachbumOG 2002 skaorsk8

it's far for me, too. we just went while we were camping down there. you're right, they should have more tracks around here. let's upon our own. i'll DJ the track w/ cool music to race by. too old for the skatepark?

skaorsk8 skaorsk8OG 2002 beachbum

yeah too old for the skatepark....all the kids in there are 13..i'm 23...but opening a go-kart track would be a sweet idea, they are remote controlled, and the guys who direct everything can just cut the gas lines with the push of a button...hmm someone look on ebay for how much go-karts cost

beachbum beachbumOG 2002 skaorsk8

how great would that be? of course we would have to hire people to work nights and weekends so we would have time to race.

skaorsk8 skaorsk8OG 2002 beachbum

yes! i love this idea. seriously. we can hire mexican immigrants. they can come after they are done at the car wash.

togatweeter togatweeterOG 2003 skaorsk8

i'll volunteer! i'm spanish hehe

skaorsk8 skaorsk8OG 2002 togatweeter

wow. this is snowballing. where should we have the go-kart track???

beachbum beachbumOG 2002 skaorsk8

definitely somewhere near the beach. i know you live up north, but tons of people come to the beach, even in the winter. you'll just have to spend summers down here. Now we need to find a piece of land and buy it. Anyone know a good paver?

beachbum beachbumOG 2002 skaorsk8

i've also always dreamed of owning my own snowboard mountain. there will be cool music all over the mountain, not just in the many terrain parks & pipes. and you have to pass a test to get in, you can't just be some slow fool getting in everyone's way.

malibu malibuOG 2001 skaorsk8

you should take over some of the property that the self-storage people are taking. they're building about 4 of them near me. i didn't know we had such a need for them.

fivezero fivezeroOG 2003 malibu

where do you think the black markets operate out of? demand for guns, drugs, organs, rare comic books and korean children has never been higher.

malibu malibuOG 2001 fivezero

i love how the rare comic books fits right in there with the drugs and guns. i didn't think we had a big need for that in north jersey though.

malibu malibuOG 2001 skaorsk8

the go-karts in parsippany are so upsetting. $7 per ride and they're kinda slow. then on fridays its $15 for all sorts of rides but its always so crowded.

skaorsk8 skaorsk8OG 2002 malibu

really? there is one in parsippany?? that's close!! but its not good??? hmm. tina says "Fairway golf" is the one near her.

thatdarngirl thatdarngirlOG 2002 malibu

Not Parsippany it's East Hanover.

malibu malibuOG 2001 thatdarngirl

i always thought it was parsippany. but its inside. its fun. that's where we discovered dance, dance revolution. but its always so crowded.

beachbum beachbumOG 2002

we always used it to mean your slip is showing b/c florida is south or down and it's showing from the bottom of your skirt.

skaorsk8 skaorsk8OG 2002

hmm. lots of education. i'm learning.

beachbum beachbumOG 2002 skaorsk8

this is stuff you really need to know and has a practical application for you in real life. maybe you should write it down.

malibu #5.2.1.2 malibuOG 2001

oh man, the sexiest part of a woman, your claviacle is burnt? thats upsetting.

beachbum #6 beachbumOG 2002

hahaha. i've never noticed that pt pleasant smells, but i don't go there much either. island beach is def worth the drive. and then you have the seaside boardwalk to hang out on after the beach. why is it the dirtier the beach, the more expensive it is to get on?

malibu #6.1 malibuOG 2001

yeah and there you have to look at dirty people too? if you're going to seaside, swim at the clean place where you are not likely of seeing a fat girl in a thong.

beachbum #6.1.1 beachbumOG 2002

practically impossible NOT to spot a fat girl in a thong-they seem to be the only ones that wear them. the bigger they are, the smaller the bathing suit. shouldn't there be laws...

thatdarngirl #6.1.1.1 thatdarngirlOG 2002

Just like the bigger a gut a guy has the smaller the speedo he wears.

rocksupastar #6.1.1.2 rocksupastarFounder

hey guys sorry about that, i figured i would try it out early in the season, figured nobody would SEE me!!!! man.. blowing my spot up like that.

ilikebirds #7 ilikebirdsOG 2002

did you come across any sand?

thatdarngirl #7.1 thatdarngirlOG 2002

No, and I was very disapointed too.

hunkpapap #8 hunkpapapOG 2003

ok, not kidding i am off every stinkin monday and would definitely come. Let me know when yous is goin....

thatdarngirl #8.1 thatdarngirlOG 2002

If it's nice this up-and-coming Monday we shall be down there.

hunkpapap #8.1.1 hunkpapapOG 2003

ok, anybody know where this place is??

thatdarngirl #8.1.1.1 thatdarngirlOG 2002

It's exit 82 (I'm pretty sure) on the Parkway South. You're looking for Route 37 West which will then take you to 35 South. Go over a bridge and just follow the signs for first Seaside Park and then Island Beach State Park.

hunkpapap hunkpapapOG 2003

HOLY COW!!! Do you have any idea how far that is from my house? Ok, well what time, i need to got to a beach.....

thatdarngirl thatdarngirlOG 2002

It takes us all about 1 1/2 to get there. It's worth it because it's so cheap and clean. We get there anytime between 10:30 and 12 right malibu? Leg's mom drives like a race car driver so they always get there first

malibu malibuOG 2001

well you are in the bronx, i'm sure there is a different way for you to take. but yeah, its a great time. lynz gets there at 12 b/c she doesn't get up until 9. the rest of us get there at 10. my mom has a large blue tent. its easy to spot us. lots of hot girls. and the jacked boys. (except when mike's there with his thong)

hunkpapap hunkpapapOG 2003

we'll be there this MON!!!!

malibu malibuOG 2001

yes!!!! its gonna be so beautiful. we'll look to see you there.

hunkpapap hunkpapapOG 2003

I LOVED IT!!!!!

thatdarngirl thatdarngirlOG 2002 hunkpapap

YAY! you have now been brought over to the dark side where people abadon having jobs just so they can have mondays off to go to the beach!

malibu malibuOG 2001 thatdarngirl

hahah yeah that's the way to do it. it was so great that you came!!! so happy you enjoyed it.

hunkpapap hunkpapapOG 2003 malibu

no really, i can do that every monday. I am off and don't like doing my 'chores' that day anymore.....

thatdarngirl thatdarngirlOG 2002 hunkpapap

You are agreeing to spend every monday with girls ranging from the ages of 15-18? You're nuts

hunkpapap hunkpapapOG 2003 thatdarngirl

as long as someone explains why we go into the water.....

thatdarngirl thatdarngirlOG 2002 hunkpapap

Cause it's the best part next to worshipping the sun? We are little mer-creatures.

forrestina forrestinaOG 2002

ill be living even further south than that if my parents get their way

fivezero fivezeroOG 2003

fivezero fivezeroOG 2003

togatweeter togatweeterOG 2003

fivezero fivezeroOG 2003

yeah, there totally is. i'm not sure what happened, lol

malibu malibuOG 2001

awww. the sawmill. my uncles both used to work there. i was never allowed to go. it was upsetting. then they took me there. wasn't too impressed. maybe now the new one. but i only went to that end of the beach because there was the huge log flume.

fivezero fivezeroOG 2003

haha, she said flume. what a strange word.

thatdarngirl thatdarngirlOG 2002

but oh what a wonderful ride

fivezero fivezeroOG 2003

agreed. too bad it isn't there anymore. brings a tear to my eye.

beachbum beachbumOG 2002
