It’s Mundane! It’s Pointless! I’m Peeling!!!
Got sunburned last weekend after forgetting to cover my neck and shoulders with sunblock. And the sunburn has begun to peel today.
Ugh how I hate to peel. Let me count the ways.
Evil Day Star! It burns! It burnssssss us.
I can certainly share your hatred of being sunburned (because it hurts), but I cannot share your hatred of peeling (because it feels good).
Peeling is the reward that makes sunburn tolerable.
You are obviously some sort of mutant.
You’re weird.
The peeling makes the sunburn almost worthwhile.
I was pretty burnt about two weeks ago while fishing, and I was ecstatic over the long sheets of dead skin I could peel off my arms. I’m a “picker”, and sunburn is like a gift.
Peeling is so much fun it almost makes getting burned with it. Not quite, but almost.
See?
I was right.
Bah. Peeling sucks. It’s like being even MORE of a walking buffet for dust mintes and the like.
Lemme just pack up my tweezers and I’ll be over at your place in a few hours.
I don’t burn (seriously, I’ve only had one very mild sunburn in my life) so I have to content myself with peeling my husband, who does burn. Plus he’s fairly bald on top, so I get to peel scalp skin as well. His scalp turns kind of leathery, which is very easy to peel off in great swathes. Yes, I tell him to wear sunscreen, but he forgets to re-apply it after a few hours, and then after a couple of days I attack him with the tweezers.
I read the title as “I’m peeing”.
Why I opened the thread, based on that, god only knows.
Glad I did though…
Hope your neck and shoulders feel better!
Head over to **Dijon Warlock’**s. You guys can have a gross picky-peely party.
I’m glad I’m not the only one who thought that.
