UNGH. Can I go back to sleep? And call off work? And somehow write while unconscious? And wake up with rock-hard abs and Jason Dohring? *yawns*

Today's fun fact: Lukewarm Mountain Dew Code Red isn't a good breakfast drink. Not that it's stopping me from drinking it, but still.

Today's other fun fact: If I get cornered in a dark alley in the next few days by a robber, all I'll need to do is flash my lower legs at the guy and blind the hell out of him. The phrase "blindingly pale" doesn't even begin to cover it. Somewhere out there in some mirror universe, there is a poor defenseless planet that loses a major light source when I put on pants. (See, the annoying part comes when I wear skirts for the next week to get color on my legs and everybody at work thinks I'm doing it for the cute electrician. Which, okay, maybe a little, but still.)

In related news, it's supposed to be 94 degrees F with high humidity and a 105 F heat index today, and I'm pretty sure I'm the only person aside from Satan and maybe the Human Torch who's thinking, "Finally, I'm comfortable!" Considering the other two are fictional, I'm not exactly sure that makes me look sane.

EDIT: It's now ten o'clock, and I'm on a roll and almost to 18k. Of course I have to go meet the bus now. Why wouldn't I? *eye roll*

OTHER EDIT: I wonder why I'm packing lunch like I'm not coming home until Friday. *peeks into purse at all the food I'm bringing with me* Hmm. I think the only thing I didn't pack was a pot roast, at this rate.

loses light source when I put on pants. lmao. I think they may see it as a reverse eclips that only happens once every couple of years for thier time frame.

Hee, you're not alone in the paleness. My parents deny it, but I'm pretty sure my ancestors were the mole people of Eastern Europe.

I really need to even it out, because my legs are bright, blinding white and my shoulders and arms are a nice, light tan. And yesterday my shoulders got a little pink, too, so today I wear a T-shirt and a shirt and hope for some goddamn color. ;)

*sigh* I need more skirts.

[pie-is-good.livejournal.com]

That's okay, I'm exactly the same way.

Except I was in Florida for a week wearing either shorts or a swinsuit while outside, and my legs are still white.

Skirts are awesome. I love those bohemian broom skirts that came back this season.

[apocalypsos.livejournal.com]

Oh, yes. There are some really gorgeous ones on sale at this one store in the mall for fifty bucks that I covet hardcore. I need to be rich. *whimper*

You tan? Luxury!

no, I'm pretty happy with the heat and humidity too, for some reason my pain levels go down once it tops out in the 80's with 100's humidity. I sweat like hell, but I don't hurt as bad.

So true... I have a type of early onset arthritis, and when summer hits its bliss. Add that to the fact that I'm comfortable in heat up to about 105, and you see why I'm a sun baby. ^_~

I have to avoid the sun itself like made (strawberry blonde w/freckles, have had skin cancer once already) but I have an insane heat tolerance. I used to go into the sauna at the gym and was perfectly comfortable, didn't even break a sweat. I could sit in there for hours as long as I kept a damn cloth over my nose to keep it from drying out. I would have lived in that damn thing all winter if they'd let me. as it was it got to where they'd have someone watch me if they noticed me come in and make me come out after 1/2 hour because they were worried about me having heat stroke or something..ha...could never happen.

I understand pale legs.

Last Sept, Len Barron, my college's artist in residence for the month, walked by me. Old guy, maybe late 60's, early 70's.

I said hello.

He said hello, and commented that I was wearing the first pair of white panty hose he'd seen on campus.

I paused. Looked down. Looked up. "...I'm not wearing any panty hose. That's just my skin."

"...Oh."

Awkward pause.

We walked away in opposite directions.

So with you on the incredibly pale skin thing. My legs give those white plastic bags you get at grocery stores a run for their money in terms of paleness.

And to go with my wonderfully pale skin is....dark body hair! No matter how close I shave, my legs continually look fuzzier than Christmas trees.

After following like the umpteenth-ish time you've been on metaquotes I'm caving in and friending you. ;-)

I love the hot weather. looove. 95 was our high today.

[tinylegacies.livejournal.com]

I've been wearing skirts and tank tops all week and I'm still blindingly pale.

I was actually thinking today that I might need to invest in some self tanner. Cause if I just go out in the sun - I'll burn.
