The Skinny
|
...life in small Northern towns, working for assholes, boys who refuse to become men, synthetic personalities, anorexic models and their link to emotional scarring, bad marijuana trips, crazies on BC Transit, beer, piece of shit cars, living out of a suitcase paycheck to paycheck, unrequited love, Seinfeld, minimum-wage jobs, broken New Year�s resolutions, and over-limit Visa accounts.

B-Itchy Insomniac *yawn* Sleepless in LA? Bollocks. Here it is 2am and Bucky's is waiting just around the corner in 5 short hours, which means a wake-up call of 6am. (bingle) There's nothing worse than not being able to sleep when you're a) absolutely exhausted and b) have to get up for something in the morning. This Buckaroo isn't gonna have the energy and PEP! she needs to entertain and greet the masses at Bucky's today... And guaranteed it's gonna be one bitch of a busy day today too... (insert Lucille Ball "WAAAAAAAA!" here) Lying here in the darkness, typo after typo, itchy as hell. I developed some sort of ridiculous skin allergy a few years back while living in Ireland and have had to take Reactine religiously every day since. Except now that I'm living in the land of the world's greatest "superpower", I am unable to get this one particular drug, as they don't make it here. Land of the Free... and the itchy. There are certain things that I've noticed are a bit lagging here in the USofA, which I find curious because it would appear that Canada is slightly more advanced. I KNOW! Canadia??? More advanced???? That's ludicrous!!! Let me explain. Exhibit A: We have Reactine, they don't. ... maybe I'm just a bit irritated because I'm itchy. Probably. Itchy = Bitchy. Ha. I like that. The good news is that the acne has finally dissipated. For those of you who are unfamiliar, my body apparently discovered a time machine and transported my complexion back to 1987 when I should have had acne but didn't. I'm convinced that it's because I went off the pill when I split with Whatshisname last year. Whatever the reason, the result was terrifying. Acne, Backne... you name it. It was pretty embarassing that my 14 year old nephew Wyatt had better skin than me. And nothing to do for it, either. I tried all the expensive face washes, the cheap face washes, creams, potions, spells... nothing worked. So finally I threw in the towel and went back on the pill. This seems to have cured it. HALLELUJAH. Sorry, Pill... I promise never to doubt your wisdom or abandon you again. Only 16 days left until I leave for Oz, kiddies. YAY! I really don't want to wish away my time here in LA - I've so enjoyed being here, living with Kris & Ayumi, flaking out on the beach... it really has been paradise for me. But at the same time, I'm SO excited to get to Oz, I can hardly contain myself. It's all very surreal. I'm flying over there to meet the man of my dreams... how could I not be excited??? I wonder if they have Reactine in Australia... Well, I'm gonna give this whole 'Sleep' thing another go and see if I have any better luck... but before I do that, I need to send a big (belated) HAPPY BIRTHDAY shout out to: CALEB! Happy 5th Birthday, kiddo!!! and SLANTY KATE! No idea how old she is (but I'm guessing young... like, 25? 26?), and I don't have a picture of her to post, which is a damned shame, but she's a fabulous Aussie girl I met last year at Clint's wedding... See you soon, darlin'! (Oh, and I guess I should also say "HAPPY BIRTHDAY CANADA!" too, huh?) Peace out. |
