Karma?

In high school, my friends would tell their mothers that their hickeys were straightener or curling iron burns. Sometimes they told me they were straightener or curling iron burns. I never believed that this was a possible excuse.

But then today, Shayna as my witness, I burned my neck curling my hair. And then it looked like a hickey all day long. When it's got makeup on it, it looks like a burn.

(Really, it's not a hickey. Never been kissed, I promise!)

I will never doubt the plausibility of this explanation again.

In other news about my body, I couldn't give blood today because I don't weigh enough. Women under 19 who are 5'2" need to weigh 129 lbs to donate blood these days. If I weighed 5 to 10 pounds more than I do now (which would put me there), I would think myself very unhealthy. Unhealthy people shouldn't give blood. This is the fault of skinny girls who can't handle giving blood. Shame on them.
