I like to wait until riiight before big events where I will see a lot of people and want to look nice (my birthday party, going home, dates, presentations, etc etc) and then pick every slight skin abnormality and microscopic blackhead to the point of bleeding.

I looked in the mirror and had to reckon with my self-inflicted savagery last night. Jesus. I look like.... a joke should go there, but I can't think of anything funny. I look bad. There.
