I have spent most of the past two days trying to keep my skin in one piece - and that one piece attached to my body - through a vigorous regimen that consists of applying copious amounts of aloe vera gel, lotion, and body oil to my poor, distressed skin. This effort has been woefully unsuccessful, as the skin on my shoulders and the back of my neck has decided I treated it so badly that the best thing for it to do is depart from my body, and it is now coming of in large sheets, possibly enough to feed the population of a small third world country. Tastes like chicken!
I might as well start skin cancer treatment now since it's inevitable down the line, especially now that I have flambéed it. Get a head start, you know? I don't remember ever being this badly burned. Well, actually, the weird thing is it's not really burned skin, it just turned really brown and leathery, and now it's peeling. It's really quite disgusting as is, but at least it never was red or blistery. I don't know if that's better or worse, though. Maybe it wasn't bad enough to burn, or maybe I skipped burning and went straight to charbroiled. I'll let you know in a few years.
And as promised to LocuTus (who had better have a picture of his nipple piercings up on his site), here, in honor of Half-Naked Thursday, is the first picture of my infamous belly button ring.

And to complete the trifecta of random musings, I found out yesterday that I'm going to be taking a business trip to Washington, D.C. at the beginning of next week. Normally, awesome, I love staying at a nice hotel and eating at nice restaurants on an expense account ("Why, yes, I'd love to try the filet mignon!"). HOWEVER, next week is my birthday. I will be spending my birthday alone and halfway across the country from anyone that loves me. I know there are thousands of soldiers in Iraq and Afghanistan and other places that spend their birthdays alone too, and they have the added bonus of being shot at and shit, so I can't complain too much, but I am still totally bummed.

Hey check out Boozie and Weeee! They live in DC and must be the most fun in the whole town. (links are on my site) Happy Birthday early!!!!
We will all still love you from afar. Nice shot of your tum BTW, it really is my favourite part of the female body.
Sorry to hear about your sunburn, I have a similar problem, from the Chicago Air & Water show at the weekend, where I burned one side of my face and the accompanying ear..they are currently peeling, very unattractive!
Hot pic for HNT!
Have a safe trip to DC!
Yeah, we're totally awesomely fun. DC is where it's at!
Nice six-pack! Hotness.
Avery,
When I was in Italy, one of the girls on the trip (Emily) was sitting next to me on this ferry ride to one of the islands. The teenage guy in front of us was sunburned and his back was peeling really badly. Emily tried and tried but could not resist reaching over and peeling the skin off. From a complete stranger! You can imagine the look on his face when he turned around and was like "WTF???"
I have always loved half naked Thursday.
even though it won't be the same since you won't be home...go out on your birthday! DC is a lot of fun, I lived there for four years.
hit up Adams Morgan - if you like the loud crowded clubs, or go to Georgetown if you're in the mood for something a bit classier.
Or go to the Irish Times near Union Station if you want to play pool. There's one table there, and tons of guys on the weeknights.
good luck!
I'll buy you a birthday beer if AMBF doesn't object. I'm pretty harmless...at least according to my Parole Officer.
You look like Goldmember, I look like a loaf of marble rye. My tan lines from the ol' bikini are intense.
HOT , Emily is hilarious I can just picture her right now trying not to look then looking back and forth classic
Aren't you a bit old to have a belly button ring?
(I tease, I tease...)
Happy pre-birthday AMG!
very nice!
This is Paladin again.
I am really bummed for you as well- although I know you like DC.
As for the burn- ouch, babe! Cool mists of water (maybe with a touch of Lidocaine for pain, to take off the edge), asprain or Ibuprophen, lots of water, and avoid too much lotion, etc. right now (it just traps the heat in. Let the body slough off the dead stuff so the new, healthy skin can grow out).
Mostly- STAY OUT OF THE SUN for a bit- burn on burn is REALLY bad for you and more painful. Strong SPF if you have to go out... like say for a bike ride picnic or anything!
If you like DC, you'd flip for Leavenworth, KS. If anyting the one place you'll find more felons.
Except Leavenworth specializes in felons who've been caught instead of elected.
Awwwwww,Happy B-Day girlie!!! Sorry you can't be home - work that expense acct out, though!!! xxxxx
DC is love - I couldn't think of any other place I'd want to spend my birthday!
I didn't know anything about half-naked Thursdays. All I'd heard about was cockblogging Wednesdays. Hmph. Oh well. I blog anonymously, so I couldn't partake, anyway. Someone may just recognize my navel!
You're very skinny. Are you SURE you're Midwestern? Just checking. Not to imply anything about Midwesterners, except we all like to eat, like, a lot...and I think you do, too, right? Okay, I'm just going to stop now.
And to think, while flying home from Ft. Lauderdale, I read in a Maxim that the Mayflower is a good place to meet people for random, away-from-home sexings, just because it's a classier joint without the seedier, cheaper guests...
AMBF is going to hurt me now for that...
