I am of the firm opinion that, in general, the paler your skin, the sooner you age.

Nah, it's how much you tan-- my mom is one of those redheads who doesn't tan and had some young looking skin...though she got kind of crepey of late, but I digress.

Yeah, having to change the time manually -- we've reverted to the DARK AGES. Run for your lives!

"Musta been, o...ought-seven, I think it was. Back before the CyberMind took over the world, back before flying cars and holographic porn and live death on the three-d-tv. Came a dark time...a slide back into the days of the cavemen, it was like.

Some damnfool ruler of what we used to call 'nations' rather than Globe Division Popuclaves, came up with the idea of moving Daylight Saving Time...oh, right. See this was before we were reflecting the sunlight from SkyGlass onto the world 24-7. Anyway, he moved the date that we would begin Daylight Saving Time. And the people...we had to program our VCRs and oven clocks...ovens, we used them to prepare food before it came in pill form...and the world just went mad.

Brother agin' brother and sister agin' Mother Superior...back before God had been disproven...we were animals, I tell you. I did things I...I'm not proud of. No, I won't talk about it.

Just served to remind us, though...we're still beasts under our clothes and cybernetic implants.

All it takes is one push back to the darkness. One. Little. Push."

Nah, it's how much you tan

Seriously, my whitey grandmother is allergic to the sun. Has always hid from the sun. She was still super wrinkly in her 50s.

Did she smoke?

Did she smoke?

I am tired. My first thought on reading this was, "...like how a vampire starts smoking when you put it in the sun...."

Yeah, you know a lot of buffistas think they're pale, but in my experience there's fair skinned and then there's brenda.

I think Brenda may be paler than me, but I am asked on a very regular basis if I'm feeling all right "because you look really pale!"

(My 40%-more-blood-induced pregnant glow just barely brings my skin tone up from Vampire to Human.)

Hee. I see I popped in just at the right time. Also, I just posted a bunch of family pics in my lj, so head on over to "brendalu" if you want a demo. Put your sunglasses on if you're sensitive to the blinding glare.

Welcome home, Robin.

Looking at the pictures, I think my skin may be as pale as your skin, brenda, but I have dark hair, which fools people into thinking I'm darker than I am.

Hey,Robin, congratulations on your loss of hysteria. P.S., some opiates do that to me too. It is narsty.

I remember going shopping for loose powder once with flea in highschool, and we went to the Clinique counter, and she got shade 001 while I got shade 002. (Of like, forty shades for white people.) So at least I know I am not the palest person here!

Brenda is definitely pale.
