Things About Being Pale

Those who read this (respect to you, hanna and luke) would know that i am quite a pale person.

The thing with being pale is that well.. there are a few things about being pale. it has its benefits and its negatives.

Here are some things i think you all should know about being pale.

• i look sick ALL THE TIME. this is both good and bad at the same time.
  Good: it is easy for me to fake being sick
  Bad: it is embarrasing when people tell you that you look sick when you feel really quite healthy. it is more embarrasing when this happens more than 5 times in one day (yeh, it happened. people can be so rude)


• i do not tan. like, sure, i get a bit more coloured in the summer SOMETIMES but as a general rule i dont. this might be because of the next reason:


• i glow in sunlight. im not kidding. light ACTUALLY reflects off my skin. i would be the perfect candidate to play a vampire in twilight, just add some glitter and i do all the special effects. BECAUSE of this, i tend to stay out of the sun because people WILL mock me. again i say, people can be so rude


• one time i went to the beach and my skin was whiter than the sand. yep. WHITER THAN THE SAND


• on the plus side, i am not a ranga, and therefore i am more attractive than pale rangas. simply because my freckles are brown, not orange.


• it is very rare for the shops not to have my colour of foundation in stock (should they MAKE it pale enough.. some do not) because unless you are goth, its not commen to have such pale skin. verrrryyy helpful in sales.


• sometimes i look really quite elegant when my freckles are covered.. i have been told it is very beautiful to have pale ivory skin. i dont tend to believe this, but i can dream.


• fake tans generally do not go orange on me. this is a general rule. sometimes it happens (this is when the brand the salon uses is shit). i think this is because when people who already have colour and get more colour put on, the 2 colours contrast, making you orange. I on the otherhand, do not HAVE any colour for the faketan to contrast with, so it usually turns out fine.


• i have had to put up with many vampire jokes (im looking at YOU luke wratten. thanks for year 12.. btw getting a nosejob in a few years.)


• if i am tired, it shows on my face. i really do get the most terrible bags under my eyes.


• it means i have a fairly unique look.


• i will never, EVER be able to dye my hair blonde, because i will look WEIRD unless i start getting regular fake tans. NEVER EVER with this skin colour tho.

so there are some things about being pale. i really do wish i were tanned tho. i should get a fake tan tomorrow!!!

i wont.. im too lazy.
