Itchy Sunburn

Posted on June 30th, 2008 by elegeia, under Annoyed, Rood0odo0.

Ugh, my face got severely sunburnt! I even put on the SPF 55 sunscreen on my face whenever I go out but it’s just NOT WORKING! And now my face is full of red splotches.  Ugly as hell, not even to mention that I want to scratch them every second - of course I can’t.

What is worse? People stare at my face for an unreasonably long time. Have they not seen sunburns before? Jesus Christ!

It’s weird though, my arms and legs didn’t get sunburnt and they received just as much as sunlight as my face.  I suppose the skin on my face is just more sensitive than other areas.  I heard it some time from someone that skins get sunburnt because of dead skin cells? I know that your skin cells get killed from ultraviolet rays (pretty much sunburns are the result, right?).

Nearby Death

Posted on June 27th, 2008 by elegeia, under Events, Shocker.

My old neighbor Nancy died a little more than a month ago. We just heard of the news today because we were all busy with out lives — only knowing that we hadn’t seen her for a long time.  It is a sad thing because no one knew she died until a couple of days later, her old friends wanted to check upon her (since they also hadn’t seen her).

That day, as my dad told, he saw an ambulance truck coming and did not think much of it until now. As close neighbors, we had no idea.

I wonder how she died, whether she died peacefully.

Until now, I realized, dying alone is a grave and sad thing.

Mental! Completely Mental!

Posted on June 26th, 2008 by elegeia, under Creepiness, LMAO.

So yesterday, my friend and I went to UWMC (I, for the volunteer information meeting, and her, for the TB shot).  For several minutes we were lost when trying to find the volunteer center for her shots and we wandered to the freezing room.  Well, at least just outside of it.  There are two glass doors and behind them it was just a little corridor before the real doors to the freezing room.  I was about to round the corner, but saw an old lady with a cane walking into a wall. And her expression was very much disturbed (probably not to her, but to us, it was…. creepy). I was thoroughly scared until she started backing up and walking senilely in small circles. Without seeing the expression on her face, it’s hard to see how funny it was like.  I snickered and my friend’s sister almost burst into laughter. Even now I still think it’s very hilarious (though I know it’s very mean, but hey. It is funny).
