tired & happy
Realization: Corbett (Mel’s brother) = Tigerbug Guy.
By some miracle, my parents let me go with Deni, Mel and Corbett to the coast. I think the rents just wanted some time together, and their ‘needs’ overcame their paranoia about me for a day. GROSS. But if that’s what it takes, then I’m not going to complain. I’m just not going to think about it.
Anyway, turns out it was Corbett who was being so cutesy with me on Thursday. Deni was right, he is kind of cute. He’s got really big eyes that are always wide and darting, like he’s always thinking of some trick to pull. He wears a gray fedora all the time, and a red tie with the knot hung down low. He’s a big goofball! He asked me how Adam was, and Mel says no, my Internet boyfriend’s name is Daniel, and so I say that things with “Daniel” and I had been over for more than a week, and I could tell that Corbett knew I was totally making up the whole Daniel thing, but he played along.
Anyway, we spent the day throwing the Frisbee along the beaches and generally acting weird around what Corbett calls “the straights,” especially those girls that wear a ton of makeup and do their hair really fancy to go to the beach. Corbett kept shouting “GO BACK TO THE DOCKS!” from the window of the Tigerbug before speeding away as Deni, Mel and I shrieked with laughter.
He really gets along with Mel, which I’ve never seen with brothers and sisters. Mel says he’s got great taste in music. The stuff he played in the Tigerbug was a little too punkish for me, but it definitely wasn’t the crap I hear on the radio.
So now I’m home, and I’m exhausted, and I know I got sunburnt something awful, but it was a great time!
The rents seem happy too. Mom was sitting on Dad’s lap when I got home, giggling. Mom’s not the giggling type, so they must’ve had a good day. So we all did!
