Okay! well. so, my face is about a 5 right now. so i'm pretty happy, but i'm still a bit annoyed.
The scar underneath my nostril is almost gone- and even when i itch it, it stops being red within a couple minutes, so that's lovely. the scar between my eyebrows hasn't been as cooperative; while it has definitely improved, it's still a bit red in one area (i.e; noticeable). boo. i am however grateful that it's a lot better.
The only other problem areas are the bumps above my eyebrow (those are new-they're a bit red, but improving everyday), and the [former] zit on my chin (i stabbed it with a pin about 500 times, so the pressure went away). it turned into a small scab with a whitehead underneath, but today i had to squeeze it to get rid of the whitehead, so now it's just the scab, and will probably heal just in time for school. i'll keep you posted!

Oh, i forgot.
Sidenote: So, my main worry is clearing up everything before school- really the only aspect of worry is the scabs on my nose. anyway, i hope to be a 3 by the time school starts, which is in a little less than a month right now. i've put up a counter. ugh, wish me luck. :/

Ehh...
Well, okay. so, things could be worse..
but they could be a lot better as well.
So. the scars are pretty okay- about a 5.3. that's the "good" news. i do have a few other problems though. i regularly squeeze the skin on my nose (keeps away the blackheads), but i've built up a tolerance so it doesn't stay red; the redness goes away in a few hours. so i do this every few days and tell myself it's okay too because i'm not picking for pleasure, just to clear up my skin, which is true. but for the past few weeks i've been going wayy overboard- to the point where i have about 4 semi-scabs on my nose. they've been there for a little over a week now. i think. i don't know. ugh. to top it off there is a huge. and when i say huge i mean HUGEEEEEE. pimple growing on my chin. a bit tricky to deal with. i also have the little flesh covered bumps coming back on my forehead. ugh. those are annoying, but not all too noticible.
all in all, i'm at about an 8. boo.

huh.
Well, i'm feeling pretty good about my face. i've pretty much refrained from picking. not to mention everything's healing pretty nicely.. slowly, but surely. which is nice. i really would be screwed without silicone sheets. much love there.

christ..
Post-blogger's note: I also use the same 1-10 scale as the 'overall face condition' scale (see last blog) to focus on each individual blemish and rate it according to how bad it looks/estimated healing time (it's pathetic how much time i put into this).
Right now, my face it in one of the worst conditions it's ever been in. i really think i'm getting better though; i've begun exercising great amounts of self-control and will-power. that being said, i have the most spots ever; 11. shit. luckily, none of the spots are 10's, but they're close. for the most part, it's 7-9's.
Anyway. i'm kind of bummed right now; just had to cancel on a friend's birthday party. which sucks, because i've been looking forward to it for months, and it's supposed to be pretty dank. whatever.
i hate myself.

why can't i just go back in time?
There is a scale that i use to measure how acceptable my face is.
1(Flawless) --------5 (Panic worthy) -------10(Put a bag on your head)
Obviously, while we would all like to be 1's, my desired number is about a three- maybe a two. at this moment, i'm about a 6.5. well, earlier today i was. i just picked at two spots on my forehead so i'm probably at an 8.
So, that being said, my scars are healing up a bit; they're definitely better than before. the spots on my forehead and nose are gone (though i just picked at two pimple things on my forehead so that kind of cancels it out, doesn't it?) what's driving me crazy is now i'm beginning to get pimples- something that's never happened before. granted they're pretty small and not noticeable- but i don't know if it's stress or just the acne of my teen years kicking in 4 years too late- either way, i'm freaking out.
