all i need is the air i breathe




the word on Sunday, August 07, 2005 is:


i just remembered some update that i could post after all!

it's the results of my Detox Diet!!! *insert drumroll and maybe a few preppy cheerleaders*

anyway, the purpose of the great Detox was to Save Face, which means that it was supposed to help me clear up the acne explosion that is my face. and now, it gives me great pleasure to announce that the diet was a complete FAILURE and detoxing had NO EFFECT on my pimples whatsoever. not immediately, at least, and this is important because we all know that diets are for desperate people who don't have time to spend the next 10 years waiting for results! i mean yah maybe fat takes a bit longer to melt so we should be patient and all, but pimples are like localised little shitlumps and you can just burst them with your fingers! by right they should clear faster shouldn't they? *ponders*

anyway my theory with pimples is that they oscillate cyclically, much like simple harmonic motion and actually -other- cycles too in fact. so it's like one moment you're enjoying a relatively smooth-ish exterior, and then before you know it, POOF! suddenly you have a whole map of the moon on your face, because pimples like to pop up in pairs, and trios and extended families too! so they all explode at the same time and turn bright red and ripe together, like happy little red mangoes on a tree. and then, when they're finally ripe for the picking, they start falling off like little transparent-ish daddylonglegs, except that you never actually get to appreciate this stage of renewed smooth skin because you never reach it! that's right- just before you're due to have some semblence of normality, ANOTHER band of pimples appears in full glory and explodes in just the places their predecessors vacated!

which means that we're all doomed to be pimply for the rest of our lives.

oh oh, actually the Detox Diet does work to a small extent, the small extent being that it really does feel good on the inside after a while. as in after eating like fruits and veggies and nonoily things like that, you dont actually feel the oil diffusing through your pores, and so that feels kinda good yeah. but then again it better damn well be, since that's the only good thing about the whole diet.

or maybe it just needs more than a week HMMM =\ vanity is more trying than imagined!
