Toronto vs. Victoria: a bodily comparison

[listersgirl]

My skin definitely prefers Toronto, even with all the smog. The minute I stepped off the plane in Victoria the zits erupted and they didn't go away until I got back here. Not that my skin is all that great in Toronto, either, but it's not nearly as scary as Victoria skin.

My hair, on the other hand, is much happier in Victoria, as evidenced by the fact that I apparently don't shed there. I know! What's up with that? I was actually quite disturbed by the showers where I didn't end up with literal handfuls of hair - it felt unnatural.

My nose is undecided: the right nostril was crusty and bleeding in Victoria, and the left nostril is crusty and bleeding here. Joy. Also, logically it seems like it should be the other way around.

(This icon was made for me by the ever thoughtful kit_a_licious, who sent me a spectacular bunch of photo icons. This one, though, made me laugh. And still does.)

Well, it seems perfectly obvious what you should do! Send your hair and your left nostril to Victoria and keep your skin and right nostril in Toronto! See, all easily fixed!

*And forgive me. It's entirely possible that I'm high on too much Diet Coke right now! :)*

Too bad it doesn't all line itself up symmetrically like my nose, or I could just split myself down the middle!

Oh, yes, logically, of course. WTF are you talking about?

Because BC is the bastion of all things left. Duh.

:D

Ohhhhhhhhhhh.

Of course, since it's also the bastion of many things Right, I never get those jokes on the first try. :)

Glad you like the icon. I hope your bod catches up with you in Toronto. ;)

I think it's just a matter of what your body gets used to. For your nose, drink lots of water and put Vaseline inside your nose. It helps. Honest!!

You seriously made me spit water on my keyboard. :)

Elizabeth Arden makes this disgusting smelling goo called "8 Hour Creme" that's basically the highest level petroleum before you can run your car on it. Takes care of crusty, bleeding, and even runs of zits.

I don't know, my face is enough like an oil slick already. :)

Weird. Of course, we shed hair all the time (it's just that some of us *cough cough* don't grow it back). That's really strange. Maybe it's the humidity? Or the difference between ocean vs lake air? Hmm.

And, speaking as your massage therapist, if you think your skin is terrible I should introduce you to some of my other patients. :)

All I know is that I'm getting worried by the amount of hair I lose every day. I'm going to have to start making Barbie wigs or something, make a little extra money.
