To tan or not to tan? That is the question.

jess: good
did you get a tanning membership?
me: not yet
jess: are you going to?
me: eh i dont know
its kinda frivolous
jess: ya i keep going back and forth
me: i think i will just lay out
there is no sense in not using the free sun
and i dont care about being white anyway
jess: haha...the problem is that i cant lay out except on weekends and that doesnt do very much
me: ya
but why must we feel the need to be tan for crying out loud?
why are you "prettier" if you are tan?
that is bull(corn)!
jess: i totally agree...i am always thinking about that
jess: the problem is that i do feel prettier when im tan
me: so lay out when you can
jess: and i dont notice my fat as much
me: but i am not going out of my way to conform
but if it makes you feel better about yourself then do it
jess: if you are doing it to conform then dont....thats why i havent decided if i want to or not, because part of me wants to prove i can be white and still pretty
me: ya i like being out in the sun and i like being tanner
but i refuse to follow the masses and tan because it is socially accepted
thats crap
and i am not doing it
and i am not paying for it
i am blogging about this
jess: haha i know...ok you convinced me...lets put our efforts into working out and actually feeling good about ourselves so we dont have to cover it up w/ tanning
me: YESS
thank you very much
and on the weekends if we feel like it which we might we will go and lay out by the pool
like seriously a good couple hours would do
jess: yes, we can still lay out because we like it, but to pay for it is ridic!
me: so true
i am glad we decided this.
this convo is going on my blog
jess: haha ok
jess: yes, thats what i was going to say..the gym will make you live longer and the tanning bed will make you die from skin cancer
me: so true
and its so beautiful outside anyway
why not get tan and be outdoors?
why be in a tube instead
nobody stops to enjoy the outdoors anymore
theres no time, just gotta hop in fake and bake and go on
jess: haha agreed its irresposible to our bodies.
