Beach Day and Hookah!

So Friday I went out with my friend Brendan and we headed to a nice beach in Rhode Island. We stopped to eat first and took a bunch of creepy vines. I felt gross because my skin was terrible this week due to heat and I was really self conscious.

Here's Brendan! What a handsome guy! I call him Kinikun. (Kiniku = muscle and fusing kun) because he's too ripped to function. :|

We ate and got super bloated and drove to the beach a couple miles south of where we were. We passed the main beach and found a hidden cove that was extremely pretty and isolated with a gorgeous pathway leading down to it.

It was so pretty it looked like a fake scene from a movie.

We reached the rocks and it was amazing. The whole ocean was gorgeous and I hadn't been in so long, since before college so I was extremely overwhelmed by it. I had missed the ocean so much. I had been to lakes and bays but I hadn't been to the sea in so long. Just seeing the waves crash against the shoreline was a site to behold. I probably sound like one of those hipster crunchy earthy types but just smelling the salt in the air and walking along the rocks and swimming and having waves crash all around me was just very uplifting but also extremely nostalgic.

We played along the rocks after we swam and it was really fun. When we were swimming I was really nervous about touching the ground because the rocks were sharp so I would swim and keep my legs up even if it was only half a foot of water beneath me. I was also nervous about shellfish and monkfish that Brendan said were in the area. Monkfish are terrifying. 

Brendan doing a handstand!! 

We ended up chilling on top of one of the rocks and read magazines and talked about a lot of different issues. It was really nice to hear his perspective on different topics. (We discussed what friend zoning meant and what constitituted a "nice guy" and spiritual stuff and a lot of health things). He even made me a flower wreath LOL!!! We took off as it was getting dark and headed back north. We didn't want to go home just yet so we ended up going to Providence, and naturally, meeting up with Louis, who was swagged out and looking fly while I looked like a mess. -____-

After reaching Providence we ended up going to Johnny Rockets and having food and milkshakes. We milled around, got some Gourmet Heaven and then retreated into a hookah lounge for a smoke and some drinks. At this point I was disgusting as fuck and smelled like sea water so Brendan and Louis turned me into a hipster and played dress up with me.

Dem proportions lookin' good today tho.

Louis looking suave as fuck with that slow smoke rolling out of his lips.

ピース!!!

So Louis told me he had smoked hookah before so I had assumed he had been to a hookah bar but I guess it was his first time. I'm happy to have experienced this new adventure with him. Brendan and I had gone together twice and I had been to several throughout my life. Brendan went to this particular hookah bar so much that the bouncer knew him.

Eventually we traveled back to Louis's house and hung out and watched some ratchet ass fighting on Catfish.

And then took meme pictures and embarrassed ourselves. 

Things got weird.

Brendan eventually left around 1:30 and I stayed behind so I could shower before going home. Louis and I once again decided to be lazy and lounge around and talk and I somehow ended up talking about high school(?!?!?) and some other deep personal stuff that just sort of fell out of my mouth but I felt very trusting and I think it brought us a lot closer.

Overall a very fun day!! Success~
