i can't fight this feeling any longer...

sometimes when i'm alone in my house, i do things that i might not do in a room full of people. i got home from work and went looking for tweezers. that means i headed over to ali's bathroom...where i usually steal her tweezers. i opened up the cupboard. no tweezers. what did i find? veet. okay, maybe this is too revealing to say what i find in bathroom cupboards. just stay with me....
alot of girls have a problem with the mustache. i remember stories from my youth of friends having to wax the upper lip....and the stories of pain. i was always grateful that i didn't have that problem.
last night i got curious. not that i had a mustache, but why not give it a try?? who doesn't want a smooth upper lip? i read the instructions. simple. apply cream. leave on for 3 minutes. wipe off. enjoy the hairless wonder that is your upper lip. i can do that. so i did.
it burned a little bit at first, but i had my eye on the clock. the last thing i wanted was to burn my skin and have red upper lip for the next week. less that three minutes later, i wiped off the cream. it was glorious. and it was numb. and tingly.
that was last night. the numbness is gone, but it's still tingly. a friend told me that since i did that my hair was going to grow back in -- jet black. WHAT?!?! let's hope not. and for heaven sakes, let's hope this tingly feeling goes away.
i want my old upper lip back. :(

Remember that one time that I tried Nair-ing my chest and CHEMICALLY BURNED MY NIPPLES? Yes, that's right, that is no gentle stuff. The pain lasted for weeks! (I will spare you the details)
