Run for Your Lives! My Zit Is Taking Over the World

December 24, 2008

(www.sass-pants.com) — I guess all the nostalgia of rereading my middle school and high school journals has thrown my skin into some kind of tailspin or mega regression, because I have the worst pimple of my life on my chin right now.
