Finally got out of the house and went to the park district water park that just opened up. Got MagicalZombie to come along and we had fun while being surrounded by six-year-olds.
I mean, it was a Friday, so I get why most of the patrons were parents with their little children. It was just kinda weird. The park isn't all that exciting either, with a lazy river, four slides, and a shallow pool area. It really is meant for families over anybody else. Still, it was nice to go there and derp about.
The fun thing about the slides was that you had to be 48" to go on them. And a lot of little kids got rejected (I know, that's mean). But this one boy was coming down with his mother after being rejected and went "Don't worry Mom, maybe I'll be tall enough when I'm five!"
But anyway, sunblock - I'm starting to think it doesn't really help me. I had freaking SPF 85 on that I applied twice and I still got burned. It isn't as bad as the one I got last year on my birthday or the year before at my friend's graduation party, seeing as how I can wear clothes and not hurt and was able to sleep on it. And really, anything not my shoulders looks pretty good today.
Best part is probably the fact that you can see streaks on my back of where I was able to get sunscreen on and where I wasn't able to reach. Good times.
My parents are fixing up their furniture, so that means emptying them out. I woke up this morning to find an old grade school project I did sitting on my dresser.
I think I was in fourth grade, maybe fifth...leaning towards fourth. And I have no idea what the assignment was, but it appears to have been something with constellations.

Totes love how those two guys have Goku hair.
I recently obtained a new rank in the status system here at theOtaku dot com, and not to sound underappreciative or anything, but wow, it’s been a while. Not that I can really blame anyone (nor should I, this being the internet and all); it&...

"I DON'T FEEL LIKE A SPECIAL STARWHALE ANYMORE"
Eh well, been here for almost eight years. Guess I'm not going away. I've been a Legend for like...God knows how long. When were titles introduced? Add about two weeks to that.
The ability to customize my title may come in handy, but for now, I'ma flaunting my status.
You know what I hate? Shipping rates. I went to Blick (dot com) to buy some Prismacolor markers (because I so need more) and swiped up nine of them. Then I found out they increased their basic shipping to 8 bucks.
Eight. Dollars. For nine markers. Things you could throw in a shipping envelope and mail off for probably a buck. So I skipped buying the markers.
I hate this flat-rate shipping BS. I tend to not mail lead weights, so I always ship out my own envelopes and boxes (which also gives me the chance to doodle on them) for way cheaper than the flat-rate. Please, people, do me a favor and stop supporting the flat-rate shipping, as you are being robbed blind.
And my tendonitis is bothering me again (but just on my tablet. Huh.)
