The Gene For Tan -- MIA!

I have declared SPRING is finally here! The landscapers have mowed 2 weeks in a row now, the grass is getting greener, the daffodils are in full bloom, the leaves on the trees are starting to look green and not nubby. Oh, not to mention the 75 degree weather lately! LOVIN' IT!!

While spring has arrived, the mentality of spring and the future events that come with it are here too -- ie: SPRING BREAK! With this begins the full range of motion from every girl on campus. You now have to fight them tooth and nail for a machine at the gym, the stores are busier supplying them with cute short shorts and tank tops, and the tanning salons are BUSY!!

I have sat down with my fellow girlfriends at work and every day they look darker and darker, with that healthy tanned glow that "those" girls can get. Where the hell is my tan?? Well, I can tell you exactly where it is -- not in my gene pool!

I have tried the beds -- gettin neked', saturating my skin with tanning lotion, feeling the "I'm laying on the beach" sensation for the whole 3 minutes (needless to say -- I fry!) -- In the end, it just don't work. For all the time and money I waste even trying to get tan -- No result do I see!

You know those girls that can look at sunshine and instantly tan -- totally jealous!
And the ones who tan all over so perfectly they look like models -- totally jealous again!

But then the real though process come into play --

I bet they have to a do a TON more groming of their entire body before they goout into public! Me, (yeah, the chicken white one)I have never liked my legs and enjoy wearing my jeans everywhere. So I will continue to do so. I also know that very few get to enjoy my mild famers tan I manage to get ahold of this spring/summer up close and personal (they should feel very priveledged). In all the time and money I would spend even trying to get tan -- I will spend that money on whatever the hell I want -- Cause I can!

While I love my bleach blond and tanned girlfriends, I love being the oddball chicken white one -- My uniqueness is Glory!
