Never use a big word when a diminutive exression will suffice

On a good weekend

I went to Wildwood with Sara this past weekend. When we were driving down, I got a little worried that the trip would suck, but it ended up being really awesome. I saw Andrew from Chicago, I didnt even think to call him until I was actually in Philly, his home town. We went in the ocean and I think that the ocean is the most healing entity I have ever encountered. I always think of whats going on in the water near me. What fish are dying at that moment and where? Where are sharks prowling? What percentaage of the creatures are having sex at that moment? Where is there a creature we have never seen before, we don't know exists, and how is its life different from ours? All this swirling around, bombarding our bodies, crashing onto the land and slowly wearing away and changing the land that is so distinct from the water and so vital to our lives. Anyway, it was loads of fun. I got a little sunburnt despite the cloudy weather and wearing a large hat all day. My feet are really smooth from the beach and I feel like I got a professional salt scrub. Its fabulous.
