debsI had trepidations regarding today due to the random and upsetting night I had yesterday, but today's trip to the coast went much better than I had expected. Left the house around 8:30 and drove the hour and a half to the coast with ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
wintercreek, lunar8i8star and belle_fureur. We reached Lincoln City about ten-ish, where we all spent way too much money on clothing. However, I did find not only the most ridiculously comfortable sleep socks, but a new pair of pjs as well. I am a winner.
Ate lunch at the Spouting Horn in Depoe Bay, which is a quality establishment, and then ooh-ed and ahh-ed at the huge waves crashing up onto the sidewalk. It was a pretty nasty day, weather-wise, but that made for some spectacular sea viewing. The following are some shots I took today.
Depoe Bay. This photo doesn't nearly do the view justice. It really was amazing today.
My cousin's child, Zach, is in second grade and his class just finished reading "Flat Stanley," a story about a boy who folds himself up and mails himself around the world or some such. Anyway, all the kids made their own "flat Stanley," sent it to relatives and asked them to take photos. I took Flat Zach along this afternoon.

The following are my favorite shots from today.
Law & Order: Buoy Watch 2005: The most boring show ever. (belle_fureur, wintercreek, lunar8i8star) ETA: from wintercreek ["Law and Order: Buoy Watch." - Deb (shoelace) "Detected unusual buoy drift..." - Monica (wintercreek) "Probably due to the body on that buoy." - Mary (lunar)]
All in all, the day was a success. Tonight...that's a bit of a different story.
I don't really want to talk about it, but I will say this one thing. Sometimes I feel that no matter how much I talk--try to explain myself, whatever--I'll never be able to adequately express what I feel. This is frustrating as I have a bachelor's in English and communications. One would think that I would be able to extricate myself from situations without being made to feel guilty or mean or some other kind of fucked up. One would be wrong.
At least there're always ridiculously hilarious movies to jolt one back into some semblance of normalcy.
ETA: That's gone. Had to write it, but now it can go away again.
