the image of death perhaps?
For the second time in two days, I’ve been told my face looks “healthy,” which in both cases followed some remark along the lines of “You look like you got some color”
What does that mean? Did I look sickly before?
(none of my icons were brown or anything close, so I went with blue (purple?))

People tell me that all the time when the sun starts shining… but then I’m pasty? You’re not…?

I don’t know about pastey, but I’ve definitely been told I’m pale and have ‘fair skin’ whatever that means.
Maybe if I lose this mini-tan I have, they’ll be alarmed and make me take a few days off!

Sounds like a plan… Though I think I might be more offended if I was asked to take a few days off, then being told I look healthy… That’s just me though.

I guess I wasn’t offended by the healthy comments, just amused. It’s kind of like my “weight watchers” post from awhile ago. If you notice I look good now, you must have noticed I looked not so good before. But in this case, it’s more funny than annoying.

People will notice a change more than anything else. For example, a beautiful person looking more beautiful after an extended absence will be commented upon. You’re more energized and happy after a trip. And besides, you have a tan. Tans get noticed.

Excuse me… who is commenting anonymously on my journal?
Identify yourself and I won’t have to track you down and make you suffer the consequences!

Fear not, the culprit has been identified!
