I really enjoyed reading this. And I too find it very unfair that I have rapidly greying hair, the beginnings of wrinkles, and still I get zits. Yay, thanks! I really enjoyed reading this.

You wanna see zits? AND an oil slick that makes the Exxon Valdez look like a mud puddle? Then just take a look at my face! I'm with you on the grey hairs; thank god for the oil though, or else I would have wrinkles. Do smile lines count? Zits? You wanna see zits?

I have to agree with you on the zit thing--I'm 36. I think there ought to be a natural law whereby once you start getting gray hair you stop getting zits. Unfortunately my face doesn't seem to agree.

Her secret? She moisturizes with Vaseline. Plain Vaseline. And yeah, if she makes it to 60 without some weird accelerated age-thing happening, I'm going to hop on that train, too. The only drawback is that I occasionally see a zit on her. I dunno if you Californians are more forward-thinking than Ohioans, but I have impressed the HELL out of some guys by parallel parking a manual transmission car on a steep hill. By "some", I mean 4. One time, it was my dad. But the other time, there were 3 guys that had to get out of a driveway, but there was a car in the way, and it was a roommate's car, and none of them could drive it because it was a stick, and the roommate was passed out/hungover. Only I could save the day with my mad stick-shift, parallel-parking-on-a-hill-that's-perpendicular-to-the-Earth skillz. My other superpower is that of correct spelling. When I look at text, typos and grammar errors jump out at me like they're highlighted. It's actually a curse, since hardly anyone cares anymore.
