Pon farr and dermatology

First of all, the Pon Farr hit pretty hard this morning. I guess it's probably the cold weather. Maybe it's just nature. Maybe when it's cold, humans tend to want to huddle close and get warm, and maybe people get warmer if they have skin contact, and I mean large areas of uninterrupted skin to contact against your own large area of uninterrupted skin.

But I digress.

Pon Farr doesn't help me right now because I have the most major zit in the middle of my nose. Yes. I'm a freakin' reindeer.

This is by far one of the hugest zits in the history of my nose. I might as well have a horn on the end of my face. This sucker is as huge as Mount Everest, yet everyone around me acts as if it is not there. HOW CAN YOU NOT! IT'S IN THE MIDDLE OF MY FREAKIN FACE! I mean, I went to work and just stared at the computer, hoping no one would need me to, oh, I don't know, FACE THEM to talk. And tonight I went to dinner with a bunch of friends. The restaurant was dark enough so I wasn't that self-conscious, but when we sat in the booth, I sat right next to the BRIGHTEST CANDLE IN THE RESTAURANT BUSINESS. It was situated right below and to the left of my face, which was perfect for highlighting the hugeness of my zit by not only illuminating it, but also by throwing a huge zit-shadow across my head.

I'm going to bed now. I'm gonna have to fish out an extra pillow to support my zit.
