So take off all your clothes...
That song played 3 times today when we were out in the pool. 3 times; each time I sang along to what I remembered, and listened to Julia sing the rest.
Angie had a pool party over at her house for some Masque people. I forgot my bathing suit at La Salle, but still wound up going in with all my clothing on - its still drying now, as we speak. Tom, Dave, Nicki, Sabs, Munch, Matt E., Kristen, Amanda myself and Angie were the ones there. Nicki barbecqued, (quite well!) Angie baked, and the rest of us swam. We created at least a dozen whirlpools over the course of the afternoon in the roundness of the pool. Tom got Nicki back, after she and Angie had de-pantsed him in the costume room yesterday, removing both inner and outer layers of pants, when she was in her swimsuit. I did a rather large cannonball. Tom and Dave wrestled inside, and outside the pool.
After tiring of swimming, we went across the street to the park and swung on the swings (all of us), talked (all of us), rolled down hills (just me), smoked (just them), and ran from the cops: well, some of us ran (they were after some punk NE Philly kids breaking curfew. Punks.) and just generally hung out. Went back to Angie's house and made funnel cakes: the real, true carnival treats, that tasted fantastically like the "real" thing.
Incredible day, really really incredible. I haven't had this much fun in a long time. Pictures are uploaded, click here to get a directory listing - sorry, haven't had time to HTML-ify it all yet.
Sorry if this is kind of incomprehensible; I'm exhausted from the swimming, and the rolling down the hill...its really quite exhilirating, and recommend you all try it.
