Honestly a lot lol This is my fifth year being down here. The first two years I came down with my boyfriend's family at the time. I really enjoyed it so since we broke up the next two years were done with my friends. This is my first time being down here with family. I can't remember if I told you not, but my aunt got this beach house due to her divorce. I've done Self-defense & Lifegaurd classes. I'm ceretified in CPR and a registered which was good because I worked at the beach as a (1/?)
Lifegaurd to help with rent. I was 18 it was my first summer after graduation. Self-Defense classes happened because I was assualted physically and sexually by 5 guys at my school before any long lasting damage was done my friends found us and stopped them. It was my second time being physically attacked at that school. First time sexually. Growing up in Western PA and being gay I definitely had to learn how to keep myself safe. Sorry if that was too much of an overshare. Anyway I LOVE (2/?)
Seafood. So Waterman's Surfside Grille is one of my favorite places to eat. I mainly shop A LOT and spend time at the beach which for the most part are clean. It really depends on what area you're at if ur near a house that's being rented by Frat House guys who like to party yeah it's trashy, but I personally have never had a problem like that. The main reason why I come out every summer is because it's nice to getaway. I was from a small town. Now I live in Pittsburgh so yeah I always (3/?)
just coming out and relaxing. I've done the boardwalk and surfing lessons. I don't really do anything too touristy though. I'm only twenty so I just... Idk... I enjoy doing what I do. I take classes every summer though: Cooking, Surfing, Lifegaurd, Self-Defense, & Dancing. The shops are nice. Food is AMAZING. The beach is great for a workout. I wish I could say more. All I can say is it's Home. Sincerely Me, P.E.A (4/4)
Shit I keep screwing up making these public SORRY HOPE I'M NOT RUING THIS FOR YOU
I’m so sorry that happened to you, I can’t imagine how hard that must have been. I’m glad that you can defend yourself now though.
Sometimes I feel like I should take a self defense class, for like preventative measures, but I’ve also never had any run-ins with aggressors before (and I’m very thankful for that) I think it’s because even though I’m AFAB I’m a pretty large/buff person and I put off a pretty intimidating vibe when I’m not actively being friendly. (one of my friends refuses to go to this one mall in my city (because people have gotten stabbed there) unless she feels like she’s with people who could protect her, and she was talking about this with me in front of her boyfriend, saying that she wouldn’t go there with just him, and I was just like... you went there with me?? And she was like... yeah but you’re like scary and strong you could protect me, look at him he couldn’t. It made me feel real good about myself lol)
Seafood is like... a weird thing for me. I think I would probably like it better if I lived near like an ocean or something, but the only seafood that I really enjoy is shrimp (but only if it’s covered in breadcrumbs) and muscles. Maybe fish would be better if I could have it fresh but idk the texture kind of messes with me.
That sounds like an awesome way to spend your summer!
(Don’t worry, I kind of guessed that you were my pea right at the beginning because you followed me out of nowhere. Also your asks about Blue Roses always came at the same time as the comments from the person with the same name as you on ao3.)
