Stupid Face! Stupid body!
So...Ive totally broken out. Its really gross, ugly, and uncomfortable. Pimples actually make my skin hurt. How gross is that?
I blame both Peoria water and genetics.
I went to the dermatologist today to see if they could help me out. And, he blames bacteria and hormones. So I was prescribed an antibiotic to take for two months. As well as some topical face cream crap. And...weirdest of all...birth control?!? Im willing to try it. I researched it and it seems ok. However, it does say I could gain weight. UGH. Or my skin could get worse instead of better. Let's hope not. Let's hope that it works to clear up this nasty skin!
The appointment was a little weird. Because he was a male doctor and tried to explain to me that I should go to the gyno for a pap smear. That "I wouldnt know from having one, but from giving one...they aren't as bad as they sound". It was slightly funny to watch him explain and hear those words from his mouth. I guess when you take birth control there is higher risk for cervical cancer...so I should go. But, um, scared, very, very, very, scared. I'm a nerd so I read the details about it online and it does not sound like a party. Far from it really.
OOO! Bill O'Reilly has a very pretty purple tie on!
Haha, I just had an ADD moment in my journal. Im so cool.
And now Im going to complain. I hate complaining...but sometimes one needs to just do it.
I went shopping this week. And really, the clothes industry and I just do not get along.
Women's clothing sizes are ludicrous! Pants are one size. I wish they were like mens where waist and inseam measurements are available. So the same waist size can have a different inseam. But for women? No. Very very very very extremely rarely does this happen. So rare that I have only heard that it might exist but have never really seen it for myself. My legs are way too long. Apparently the larger the waist, the longer the legs. The smaller the waist, the shorter the legs. WHO DECIDED THAT!? Idiotic really. I have a friend who actually wears capris as pants. Why? Because she has a larger waist but very short legs. So the length that would be for long leg people capris...becomes pant length for her. I, however, do not have such a convinience. I wish my legs were short. Its much easier to hem or to roll cuffs on pants that are too long then to flood. You can't do anything with pants that aren't long enough.
Now, time to complain about shirts. Similar problem...poor proportions. Small shirts fit the waist area nicely...but have no chance on earth to ever fit my chest. Shirts large enough to fit my chest become tent-parachute-huge-amounts-of-fabric-to-swim-in around my waist. ARGH! And I can't afford to get things tailored, despite the fact that Im too lazy for that anyways.
Whoa, there's some guy wearing a construction helmet while playing guitar...my dad is watching an Eagles concert. Ive never seen a guitarist sporting a bright yellow hardhat!
Ha. Another ADD moment. Again, too cool.
So, I know I cannot do anything really to alter the length of my legs. (And Im not planning on gaining weight to increase waist size, Id actually prefer to firm up my abs a bit which would make it smaller...although I guess the birth control might make me gain weight...hopefully not) That dilemma will always remain. Pants and I just won't get along.
But shirts? Is it possible to do anything to target weight loss in boobs? Hmm, that would be nice.
Shopping. I hate it. It always makes me feel very ugly. Trying on things that are utterly proportionally off as well as looking in the mirror at my stupid face for long amounts of time. Blah.
Ok, enough complaining. Time to be positive. Im going to eat some yummy giordano's stuffed pizza tonight. One thing I love so much about Chicago! Huzzah!
And wow. My mom definitely has a glass of wine with a plastic baggy with an ice cube in it in her wine! HAHA, looks funny...guess she doesn't like watered down wine. Hehe.
