Fuck yeah, Low Self-Esteem

Well, usually when I wake up with a pimple on my face I do pretty much everything short of setting fire to it to get rid of it but then my mom called and told me that she once had a patient who did that and then his face rotted off. (This was a very clever tactic my mother employed all through my childhood whenever we did something she disapproved of. Apparently during her brief stint as an occupational therapist, the wards were entirely filled with people missing limbs because of tattoos, piercings and masturbation.)

Anyway, I was feeling fairly confident - I just dabbed the offending thing with some of DW's theatre makeup and headed out the door. (DW is appearing in the straight-to-DVD film, The Lost Boys III. He started off as an extra, then got promoted to vampire, then to featured extra vampire. The trailer is on Youtube. You can see DW's arm in it, which is unfortunate because now he is under the impression that he has succeeded in life.)

I decided to not obsess about it. I decided that I was beautiful no matter my small imperfections. I put on my makeup and those boots all the little children died making and decided to go seize the day. I almost got away with, too, until DW shouted, "OMG YOU HAVE A HUGE PIMPLE ON YOUR FOREHEAD!" at me.
Goodbye, Self-Esteem!

So I decided to use my new-found angst to become an Emo. All the kids are doing it these days. At first I thought it was something like being an Eskimo but it's all being a douche and putting your hair in your eyes. Here's a pic of me glowering and being all discontent and mad at my dad for some reason. I'm so hardcore.



If you don't like the look, go kill yourself. It's what I would do.

  2. I woke up with an emo hairdo last week. It just appeared, and brought the pout with it.

  3. kinda weird, but a pimple reducing tip from my mom: put some toothpaste on it for a while. It reduces the redness and whatnot. Just remember to wipe the toothpaste off before you go out in public or you'll have a whole new set of problems.
    I like your new header with the octopus being sneaky, btw :)

  4. I've quit the emo look already. I felt like Cousin It from the Addams Family. Although as I recall he was a hit with the opposite sex, whatever his sex may have been...

  5. Toothpaste is the answer to all. That and nappy rash cream Sudocrem.
    Forget the expensive stuff.

  6. FACT: Hair in your face - totally causes more pimples. It's so hard to win if you go emo.
