You know, I'm having the same problem.

I am not pleased.

mine have gotten particularly evil lately. (i am cursed with jewish skin so i ALWAYS have them.) but lately i've decided to stop the scarring by refraining from picking at them once and for all. but they pick themselves. the other day i stretched my upper lip down and bit it and the pimple on it stretched itself out and popped on its own. the same thing happened last night with one on my chin. that was the pain. it was bleeding and i was pressing it with a tissue, trying to get the blood/possible infection out. and it hurt like a long extended injection in the chin. owowowowow.

Oh, how unpleasant! *sympathizes*

Me too. But I don't have it as bad as my father, who had UV treatments once a week for 3 years when he was a teenager. He refers to his face as Craters of the Moon Nat'l Park. Poor guy. My mom has the oppostite problem--her skin is so dry that if she stretches her fingers too quickly the skin between them splits. *shudder* Thankfully, I fall somewhere in between. But I break out somethin fierce when I'm stressed out. Which is most of the time.

Oh well--at least I didn't get the nose :-)

I can't. I've tried, and I just can't. It's a compulsion.

Ho hum. I really should be doing something useful. I've spent the morning reading this wonderfully long, plotty TNG story. Much more fun than _The Sound and the Fury_ :-)

ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooh, what pairing?

i wish, wish, wish there were more palatable data/laforge out there.

Mostly gen, overtones of P/Q. From Me To Q (http://members.aol.com/EnsDelk/frommetoq.htm) by Julia Houston. Plot twists galore, and a hell of a twist at the end. I was expecting P/Q, but the story was so much fun that I actually don't feel cheated. Which is really saying something--

Shit, my brother just got here--must cut this short--

who is it in your icon again?

uv treatments, hm. my skin isn't that bad: i always have about two or three of the pink sort, and more of the little pebbly ones that are more annoying than anything else. it's painful and sometimes more unsightly than others. treatment did clear it partially, but not wholly, and i'm just not prepared to pour that much time and energy into it. i know it will get less severe as i age. my dad and his sisters all had a sort-of abatement in their thirties.

well, re:picking at it... i may not be able to, but i was able to stop with my nails although i later picked it up again. maybe taking more tranquilizers would help. ;)
