Today... I did a stupid thing.

Its hard to describe just how this stupid thing happened... but it happened, and now I must live with the consequences. Its gonna take time... maybe 1 month, maybe 6 weeks... but it will be ok after that time. It takes time to heal these kinds of things hahaha... So I guess everyone is wondering about what is the stupid thing??? Well... let me just tell u a little story...

*star fade in*

Ya see... I have just come back to New Zealand from China... I have spent the last 1 year, 4 months in China, and because of that, I now have NO brown, sexy, New Zealand tan on my skin. It is embarrassing for me to be so WHITE. When I play sport with my friends, and I dont wear a T Shirt, they all point and laugh at me because im TOOOO white. SO unfair. :(

And so... I thought, I should do something about this.

I promised myself "Before I go home to China, I will get a NICE brown tan". Good idea huh? And so... I thought to myself. How is the best way to get a tan FAST??? FAKE TAN! Niiiice... So I found some fake tan in a bottle. It sounded pretty good, so I started planning. I went and had a shower, got all clean and dry, and then got the fake tan out. I carefully read the instructions and followed them step-by-step. And so... I finished, thought to myself, "thats a pretty good job", even tho the tanning solution is CLEAR so u cant see it. And yeah... it takes its time, so I just got dressed and forgot about it.

The next day, I was playing on the computer late at nite, when my dad came home and saw me (with no T shirt on) and he said "It looks like ur getting more colour on you now, have you been in the sun today"?

I felt so proud because I KNEW that the fake tan was working well, and it was already making me look browner. :D

But later that nite, when I looked closer and on my scars (if you dont know, I have big scars on my knee and ankle from being hit by a car when i was 20 years old) there was some weird orange/brown colouring on my skin. SUX! :( But when I looked closer, I could see that if I rubbed the colour, it would soon come off. So, I thought, its not toooo bad, I have a cool scrubber, a New Zealand STONE which is good for rubbing ur skin, and making it clean. So... I got back in the shower and had another shower, rubbing very hard at my leg and scars where there was toooo much colour. I Was thinking to myself, I'm sooo smart, I have a good solution for EVERYTHING... Until I looked again.

*SHHIIIIT*

The stone rubbing on my legs had done SUCH A good job of scrubbing that it had actually taken a lot of the HAIR from my hairy legs also... SUX!!! I thought to myself, my legs will look soooo silly if i have hairy legs all over, but then a big patch of NO hair... :S what can I do???

And this is where the story starts getting worse and worse... Showing just how stupid a stupid boy can be, when hes feeling very... well... stupid.

So I thought to myself... How about, if i take some MORE hair off, but not in the SAME place... so it kinda BLENDS a little bit... then if there is a little hair off my legs, maybe no one can know that there is anything missing at all. So... back to scrubbing with my cool New Zealand stone. Well, its not like, ONLY A NZ stone, but its common here because of a large volcanic explosion a LONG time ago... And yeah, its called Pumice (for anyone who REALLY cares and wants to know...) but yeah... so I am scrubbing my legs with this pumice stone. Trying to get it all perfect and stuff, trying to fix a bad situation.

Bad idea.

Scrubbing even more just made it worse, and eventually, I gave up and decided the ONLY way out, is to take ALL The hair off my legs, and just let it grow back in its own time.. evenly. Sooooo... more scrubbing... scrubbing away, so hard and fast. And so after a looong time... like 20-30 minutes in the shower, I thought, man, its been a LONG shower, I should get out hahahaha... And so when I got out, and got dry, I looked down at my now HAIRLESS legs.

*sigh*

And so yeah... this is my stupid thing I did... Pretty dumb huh? AND... its also a long, boring and embarrassing story I can tell ya just to make you think that "this boy" is stupid haha. Oh well... just remember, cuts and bruises heal in time, but a broken heart can last forever. I'm glad its only my legs that are hurting right now.

Yeah... so, I dont know what else to say about this subject. Just, think twice before u think about scrubbing ur body with a SUPER STRONG New Zealand pumice stone, unless you WANT all ur hair gone AND ur skin all red and painful. And if you DO... dont say I didn't warn you.

Im outta here... lotsa love to everyone I know. Take care, be good, and ummmmm... try something NEW today. Dont be scared. ;)

SEE YA!
