I'm so glad I talked to you two. People are trying to get me into more "summer" clothes but I knew I couldn't be the only one preferring a little more cloth than skin.

It's l down to personal preference, I guess. I can't wear anything that shows an inch away from my wrist or my leg. If you're sweating like a fountain, then you might want more skin than clothes :) it's hot for me but I've managed [lol]

There are times that I'll wear less than that - but it depends on who I am with, but lately, I only wear less when I'm at home and not around people I don't know. :/ I've been feeling very not happy with who I am lately, and nothing anyone says really helps. :/ So that's not making me want to wear things that are revealing - I doubt I will even be going swimming this summer because I hate how I look. :/

Swimming is one thing I do show my body parts! [:O] I forgot [XD]
That being said, I swam for some time today~

I rarely swim... Ever. Swimming ends up with me looking like a BRIGHT red tomato... and not sleeping for a week because I can't even lay down properly. :/

Ah. I didn't want to get dark or anything so I swim in the night [XD]

We don't have a pool... so we have to swim elsewhere during the day...

This is from the summer of 2012 - I was only out in the sun swimming for an hour... I couldn't sleep properly for a week as I was also burnt on my shoulders and my chest. :/

Understandable [yes] Can you swim in the river down your house, Cloud? In here (not me, I can't swim in public xD) people don't really go to pools (pools are like 30min away) unless they are intent on it or something, so these guys.. they swim in the river [ninja] It's fun to watch, they jump off from the bridge and swim [XD]

Well yes, but the river is cold and I don't like cold. :/ So no, I don't swim in the river.

And I posted a pic of how badly I burn... and why I don't swim hardly often.... :/

Oh. I wish the river here was cleaner though [gonk]

Our river is pretty clean - But cold. Yeah. *shivers*

The flood caused all types of twigs and stuff stuck on all places D:
I like cold [:D]

I can't stand cold. :/ I prefer water that is mildly warmed up by the sun - maybe I can convince dad to set up our pool this summer and maybe find a way to put up some sort of shade over it (So I can swim without burning), so that the sun won't be directly on it, but will still somehow warm it up... hmmm... xD

I like the.. 'I'm going to die breathless' feeling cold water splash gives me. But I don't want to die [gonk]
Water inside is cold even though it's sunshine, right? [ninja]

Mmm, the pool would be outside (it's a little above ground pool) and we have over 100 degree days that do warm up the water up to a not quite so cold state, as it isn't flowing and getting new water - well it is, as we do have a pump that does kind of circulate the water, but not as much as it could... so it does heat up enough to not be so cold but it's still refreshing.

Oh that's good!

Yeah, I just have to get dad to actually take it out and hopefully it's still useable as we didn't even take it out the last few summers. :/

Let's hope so! [:D]

If not... well then it's ok. It's not like I would go out swimming much anyways.

so... my aunts talked me into borrowing a pair of shorts... then they talked me into riding in a canoe... then we flipped over... so since I was wet anyways, I went swimming... first time in a couple years... wasn't so bad but I still prefer my jeans.

I prefer jeans too. Shorts make my legs look huge. :/

I figure if I lost weight, I would look nicer in shorts. But after losing 11 pounds, I am still in the same size of clothes :(

I just prefer to cover my skin anyways. Healthier to not burn and deal with skin cancer later in life... but darker skin is prettier to me. *sigh*

I thought I lost weight over this past semester, but I had to recently buy pants that were two sizes up from where I was. Darn! :(

I don't tan so it's not even worth trying to burn. Because it's just painful.

understandable.

I will keep trying and not give up exercising. I want to be healthy and take care of my body. Afterall, for me, God is the Creator and made me. So I should take care of myself for Him.

I walk everywhere as I don't drive. But I'm not religious myself so I, personally, don't believe that. [sweat] [ninja] :/
