beat with the ugly stick

I'm ugly!!!

So, we all remember Ari's adventures in medical care... and the resulting rash. Well, turns out, when future docs ask me if I'm allergic to anything, I get to say,

YES! An entire family of antibiotic!

Oh god. I'm so ugly. And itchy. Nevermind not really breathing that great. It's the ugly I'm having a hard time dealing with.

The mark of a good make-up used to be that it would almost hide my freckles (wretched things). But what do you do when you make the Ten Lepers look like a Noxema commercial?

Whimper.

The trick, I've found, is to also get prescribed a narcotic. Ugly or not, you couldn't care less. Worked for me. Explains these sentence fragments right now.

Also, freckles are cute.

Your blind adoration of me, whilst quite touching, is utterly unecessary and apparently harmful ~ be careful baby! I'd love your little gills rash and/or spot free and we have big plans girlie girl. Get Well NOW!! Hustle. No foolin'!

big kisses {from a safe scratch free distance, naturally lol}

be well soon, beloved fish. and don't scratch! (isn't that awful when you're just so itchy it's beyond comprehension and some asshat tells you "just don't scratch!" and you wish that rather than scratch your own aching skin you could scratch their eyes out?!) take care of yourself and soon your gorgeousness will be restored!!!!!!

What's truly fun about the antibiotic allergy I have is that the rash shows up in a place that one REALLY REALLY does not want a rash to show up. And they always go "really? you have an allergy to that?... hmmmmmm" and I suspect they want to see what happens if they just try me out on a variant of the evil antibiotic from hell. Just to see.

Hope you feel better soon!! I second the advice about drugs that make you not care. And, as a freckle owner myself, I have to say that some very intelligent males find them sexy as hell. You just keep looking. :)

What's wrong with cute? Glamourous only gets you so far. Cute gets you the sublime pleasure of bashing someone with a blackjack for telling you not to "worry your pretty little head over that."

I agree, glamorous gets you far enough but cute gets you away with nearly anything! Oh, the male desire to serve and protect.. Men love cute..

And I think freckles are lovely.

Ack! You mean there are women out there hiding freckles? I find freckles very sexy, and there's no way I'm the only one. Set your freckles free!

Freckles and cute--*sigh*

I am also allergic to a certain antibiotic. It makes my tongue swell and appear to be covered with moss--no joke, perfectly on the level. My college roomie invited people in to see the show. I got exactly zero dates from this.
