I've ripped off half of my face, y'all

Owwwwwwwww! Ow! Ow! Ow! Owwwwwwww!

Wait, we should go back in time about a half hour. Here's the thing. When you're taking Accutane and you're told not to use hair-removal wax, it's a good idea to listen and to abide by that advice. And you should also refrain from making matters worse - you should run away screaming when someone suggests using an extra-strength wax that is supposed to be used on things like arms and legs to get rid of hair on your oh-so-delicate face.

So I've stupidly (yet cleanly, I must say) removed the outer layer of skin from part of my face. I look fabulous, and by fabulous I mean hideous. And I thought it was impossible for me to look more repulsive than I already do. Ugh. I would post a picture of my hideousness, but I don't have my digital camera with me. So, here's a reasonable likeness:

And a before shot, just for comparison:

I think that's all I've got today. Except one more "ow", because that REALLY hurt.
