block my histamines!

so i had an allergic reaction to a sunscreen this weekend. at first i thought it was just my skin's normal over-reaction to too much sun, but as my face became more and more like an android's from star trek - i realized that it was the ultra expensive, supposedly posh sunscreen that was making me break out into hives that is making me look like a pre-pubescent pimply faced alien/teenager. and not only is it on my face, but all over my arms and leg and tummy - and you know where the only place i'm allergy free? my back. that's how i know it's the sunscreen. because i'm incapable of rubbing myself down, and don't have a hot guy to do it for me - but you know what? it's a good thing too! otherwise i would have had these hive-ies everywhere, and couldn't have pinned it down to the sunscreen.

so for those of you with sensitive skin? don't ever buy fresh's SPF 30 sunscreen. i'm going to spot test my skin after i get better to figure out exactly if that was what it was. and i'm also comparing all the active ingredients with the current sunscreens i have. heehee.

and on a totally random note, why are ppl who water office plants always complete weirdos? i guess i have a sample set of three, but all office-plant-water-guys i've ever come across are just really s-t-r-a-n-g-e. like the one at db in SF? he consistently had his hair in braids. and not only in braids, but pigtail braids. AND he SMELLED. like, really smelled. seriously, i don't think the guy showered for months. it was impressive. office-plant-water-guy in london, just a bizarre old english man who liked to talk to everyone. office-plant-water-guy in menlo park? he looks (and acts) like the hunchback of notre dame. but gay. can you imagine the hunchback of notre dame seeming gay and acting very interested in the growth of your household plants? it's bizarre, i tell you.
