While in Orlando last week, I got seriously sunburned. I am one of those lucky bitches who fills out her tanning salon cards with all the rarely burns, always tans answers, but this time, I really outdid myself.
Anyway, I thought for a day or two that I had escaped the peeling stage of the sunburn, but it seems that I was wrong.
However, I like peeling skin. My husband thinks this is incredibly disgusting, and perhaps you think so as well, but answer me this, and do it honestly:
Did you or did you not, at any point in your childhood, spread glue across your hand, let it dry, and then peel it off, trying to get it to peel in the biggest strips possible? And did you or did you not get an unusual amount of satisfaction from seeing the pieces peel off cleanly? Tell the truth now.
I knew you did.
I am the same way! There's something about peeling skin that is extremely satisfying. Or maybe we're just both weird. Did you know if you pat vinegar on a sunburn it completely takes the pain away? Sounds crazy, but it works!

I think that both YOU and Laurie are gross, gross girls.

I totally did that as a kid. We're normal. Everyone else is weird.

i think everyone needs a really shitty sunburn at some point in their life, because after that, you don't fuck with the sun.

I like to feed my dead skin to the homeless. You'd be surprised at how thankfull they are for a home cooked meal.
