Sunburn - The other not-so-white meat

Listening to: None
Went on a canoe trip over the weekend with a friend of mine. That was a ton of fun. Camping, a few 30 packs of cheap beer, wood for a fire, hot dogs and hamburgers...ahh, the bliss of simplicity. Started out with me and my friend driving down to the middle of nowhere to meet up with 4 other guys we knew, then they also ran into some guys they knew that were there with a ton of people, so before we know it, our group is about 30 in number and all drunk. Now move that into two person canoes and add more liquor and a few hours in the sun. BAM!! Weekend of fun. Only thing that sucks is that I am so dang fair skinned...I put on SPF 48 3 seperate times (and that is amazing, seeing I had 4 time that many cans of beer) and I still got burnt all over my arms and back and even on my scalp. Hard to keep a hat on when your drunk friend likes to rock the canoe back and forth, causing it to tip a lot. Ah well, it was fun. Just sucks going to work tomorrow with sunburns all over...I am going to get made fun of a lot too... hehehee Dang you severly bland and pale German/English heritage! Why couldn't I have some great great something that was better at handeling sunlight? Noooo, I got to like pubs and sausages and pasteries and crap...NO TANNING FOR THIS ONE! NOPE! STRAIT TO THE BURN WARD! :p Ah well, beer is good.
