29 May 2009 :: absurd
Things are not going well right now. I'm going through "I Think I'm Starting to Bald, Part II" and I recently picked up a skin condition that I'm assuming is poison ivy/oak.
I itch all over. I was initially slow in realizing that I probably had a problem, so I kinda ignored it and then I woke up one day and spent an hour scratching fervently at different portions of my body- legs, arms, torso and face. Searched the interwebs and it looks like a plant decided to hate me. The best part is that the itchy conditions continue for about 14 days. In the last twenty-four hours I burned through a tube of hydrocortisone, so it stands to reason I'll have 13 more similar purchases for 7 dollars a pop in addition to feeling like a leper.
As some might have heard, I was considering growing my hair out for locks of love, but had to cut my hair for family photos. When I did I felt that I lost more hair around the temples. I'm trying to convince myself that a) balding won't leave me unattractive and lonely for the rest of my life, b) that it isn't bad as I am thinking and c) that I can use the broad expanse of skin on my forehead for advertisements. I figure if I can get a decent contract for my forehead, I'll probably only have to work part time to live comfortably.
I've also gained about five pounds that isn't going away until I can work out again. |
