So, bit of a first world FML here
I've been in the Caribbean the past week, and I'm flying home tomorrow but I'm burnt like a lobster and the skin has peeled across my shoulders and I feel like they're on fire.

Tomorrow's 9 hour flight is going to be hell...

Get a good quality Aloe Vera Fruit of the Earth is about the best and keep putting it on trust me it's amazing on sunburn and any injury really but especially burns.
It rehydrates the skin and helps put a protective barrier back over it

When you get home have a REALLY cool bath and then as Excalabur50 said, Put some aloe vera on, Helps immensely, I got bad sunburn on my back and I would have a very cold bath once per day and then get a family member to put aloe vera on my back.

Well atleast you’ll be out of the ”safe zone”, unlike me. I’m extremely fragile to sun light and use 50+ sun protection, which barely helps since I also sweat more than most.

Anywho, when I was little, I got badly burnes twice. The doctor said, even though it was ”only” on my shoulders, chest and face, my skin had gotten worse of a burn, than if I would have literally caught on fire. They had special skin specialists brought in, which said that they had no idea how it was possible, but my skin should’ve been dead all around.

After that, they also gave me another good news... If I get even slightly burned again, I have an very high risk of getting skin cancer.

Fancy me heh? Not being able to enjoy the summer, go swimming without a shirt, needing to use very high sun protection every time I intend to go outside etc.

You can get a spray bottle of the stuff. Great for immediately after sunburn as you don't have to rub it in.

Days are getting longer and warmer here
Also windy A.F. Welcome to spring.

Well, that plan has come and gone straight out the window. Some of the burns on my shoulders decided to blister, one has been weeping badly so a trip to my work and a phonecall to 111 later I've got a pair of dressings attached and I can barely move my neck because it pulls on them. I'm never sunbathing again...

So at my uni I take Calculus 2(or B as some call it, Calculus is split into 3 classes in the US) and my professor has now cancelled every class this week. Sounds good right? Nope..

So now it's going to be a week and a half until I see her again... which means I now have to teach myself Integration by trigonometric substitution, Partial Fractions, and Improper Integrals..
If you have no idea what that is Imagine trying to teach yourself that. I'm staring at my book and having very little progress
What's even better is I am having a quiz on all this material that I am supposed to teach myself... Yayyyyy

I once did that when I had too much curry.

On a side note I do not envy you, Sounds like a pain.

And on a different note I was meant to go on a date with a woman I met at the gym, Turns out she has a boyfriend, I found out who he is and told him, I keep attracting women who already have boyfriends, It's a pain in the ass.

I thought you said you never taken Calculus? Could be mistaken... if it was an expression then yes it went way over my head lol
I do not want you to envy me. Just pray for my mental health^_^

I hope he left her. It's so sad these days. Proper morals have just seemingly left the world out of nowhere. I remember when i was kid how every other kid I grew up with knew all these morals. We were well behaved and respectful. Between then and now I have no clue what the heck happened. I'm not even old either. That's the sad part. So little time has passed.

Oh I've never done it and I never want to, It just sounded like something that would come out of my mouth while I curse the gods while liquid magma pours out of my rear from too much curry

Yeah he broke up with her mere seconds later, Bit of a bonus though as now I have a new drinking and training buddy, Win-win situation ^_^

One of the women I went on a date with a few months ago looked at me like an alien from the planet wotzeeschnittisthis when I said being faithful to your girlfriend/boyfriend is really really important to me.

It's a sad situation, Meanwhile in Russia women are queuing up by the thousand to enter etiquette school which teaches morals, Manners, The important of being faithful to your partner etc... yet the west is going the other way at speed i.e self destruction.

That made me laugh more than it should have lol

Ayyy win win is always the best. Sad thing is though she probably didn't even care

Apparently she said "whatever" shrugged her shoulders and walked off.

So woke up today to 3 African women shouting and walking through my neighbourhood with a sign saying "kill all whites", Apparently part of the local black power group.

Police were called but they never came, Eventually they got chased off by a group of 10 local women who ripped the signs from them and tore them to pieces whilst simultaneously kicking them up the bum.

I can't even imagine the worldwide outcry if this was 3 white women doing the opposite, Cities would be up in flames, Riots would break out everywhere.

I'd love to know why this is tolerated.

Yesterday morning I awoke to then lose about 30% of my body weight from my bottom. I put it down to travel nerves. Imagine my surprise then when I took a dump last night and awoke to lose another great load from my bottom.

I also forgot my sleeping pills, so had a night without them. A night, it seems, of pure hell. Up every hour on the hour and took me nearly two hours to drop off. Not something I want to repeat, so I'm going to get them later.

I also pulled a muscle in my shoulder but inside near my lungs. So every time I breathe in it hurts like buggery. I hate injuries like that (seems like I overdid it whilst swimming ffs).

I will stop moaning now lol.

So while I've been loving my OnePlus 6 so far. I wanted to throw it out the window at the weekend.

It decided to get stuck in a bootloop that only a full factory reset would fix. The snag being it had an absolute ton of holiday photos on it that I hadn't had chance to back up so they are all completely lost.

I'm still mad/devastated now

Another entry to the "hopeless with the opposite gender" stories. Have just been on holiday on a cruise round the Med for a week. Rough couple days that the start with mental health deciding to give me grief.
Last couple of days were good, mind decided that actually talking to people was a good idea now and got chatting to a bunch of the younger crowd i.e under 40. Bumped into a few on the excursions too.
On the last night, ended up as usual at one of the bars listening to the music and singing along (poorly) most the of the night. One of the people I hadn't had a chance to kept giving me eyes whilst she was on the dance floor but with her parents next to her and mine not getting the damn hint to leave me be nowt came of it. Bollocks. Oh well win some, lose some. Hell of a loss when your last chance you screwed up big time 5 months back and she certainly wouldn't have been kicked outta bed in the morning.
Final morning, I'm out walking on the deck and guess who I run in to (not literally) about 15 mins before I have to get off the boat? Crap. Well, might as well make the best of it. Get chatting and we pretty much click right away, something that so far had been unusual this holiday, and in general. Getting on well, she's certainly easy on the eyes, seems pretty cool about life, same sort of age, single (win!) and lives about a hour out from London (boo!). Get a call to get off so have to leave but say I'll be in touch later when we both get home.
Walking off at port, just scanned out for the last time and what do I realise?

I DIDN'T REMEMBER ASKING WHAT HER NAME WAS!! Or even a number.

Much head shaking and laughing at myself for AGAIN sabotaging myself. Can't even make friends properly these days. Might be cursed. And this might also belong in the LOL thread

 

[AlienALX]

I've done that before and it's bothered the snot out of me.

If you find yourself socially awkward you should do the Aspie Test dude.
