Eternal Flame

thatdarngirl by thatdarngirl · Jul 27, 2003 · 145 views · Journal

Actually, it wasn't an eternal flame because at about 10 p.m. we put sand on it and it went out. It also really wasn't a full fledged bonfire but it was super cool!

I got to the beach at about 12:30 after sitting in 2.5 hours worth of traffic, always fun in the non-air conditioned saturn named Pepe (how do we put accent marks on that?) It was definetly the most perfect day ever and made just for us! Yes, it was hot BUT there was a nice breeze that kept most of the flies away and kept us cool.

At the beach that we were on you could take your cars on. It was more then amusing to see several people get stuck in the sand and our group's physical aid was needed several times to help some poor souls out.

The fire was most definetly the best part! Hot dogs and smores made up our night-time meal. Sad to say, very few of you ezabelers showed up to enjoy these good times with us. We are definetly making it an anual thing though!

i was traveling to south jersey and then into pa, all i have to say is i hate all of jersey that was on the turnpike wasting my time. Go swim in your nasty lakes or something, or by the oil refineries. Why do you all got to drive to exit 7 just for a stinkin beach.

maybe you should have gone to your equally crowded long island beaches.

I was so upset that i couldn't go. I had to stay out in service late and by the time i was done, there was nobody to drive down with, and I didn't want to drive down all alone. Sorry, can't wait til next year's. oops sorry this is rae rae

rach, we were so upset you couldn't come.

ekulu #4.1.1 ekuluOG 2002

so is that "rach" pronounced with a long A, or do you just say "rack"

malibu #4.1.1.1 malibuOG 2001

long or short A it still would not sound anything like rack.

it was like nite-time down camping but such much better. all your closest friends there sitting around a fire, just ripping eachother up. friendship is a beautiful thing. and i love how my backpack smells like a campfire with sand in it. someone should make that a perfume. i love that smell. so beautiful.

i read once in a book how when you have happy moments, you really don't feel them. you'll just look back and see that you were happy. last nite at the beach, i was just truly happy. something to always remember.

thatdarngirl #8.1 thatdarngirlOG 2002

I think that makes a lot of sense. I like that.

malibu #8.1.1 malibuOG 2001

ha. what part? the fact that i was happy or the thought that you never truly know when you are happy?

thatdarngirl #8.1.1.1 thatdarngirlOG 2002

that you never truly know when you are happy. becuase if you're caught up in the moment and stop to think and be like 'am i happy' it totally ruins it.

yes, i think the beach has the affect on me... most times i was truly happy and content, was when i was on the beach... after a long day of swimming... just sitting on the sand, all by myself and looking at the waves... such GREAT memories..
