Attack Of The Zits

Ahem.

What is a zit? According to the Compact Oxford English Dictionary, which you can use online here, a zit is "a spot on the skin, whereas Wikipedia defines a zit as a "pimple". The Cambridge Advanced Learner's Dictionary - check it out here - defines it as "a temporary small raised spot on the skin". Zits. Also goes by the less familiar but equally irritating term of "acne".

So, why am I rattling on and on and on and on about the definitions of zits? Because I am currently facing a horrible predicament of being suddenly attacked - yes, attacked! - by an entire avalanche of zits! Big, swollen ones, with yellow pus! Argh! How I dislike them. I wish I could just reach out my fingers and just squish them off my face! Or get a really sharp chopping knife and scrape them off! Or get metal toothpicks and poke poke poke poke!

Ahem. I'm sure some of you are puking by now, or at least near-puking. I can't help it, y'know. I get awfully depressed at the sight of them pimples. My heart literally breaks when I look into the mirror these days. I'm really very sad. Especially seeing how one year ago I literally had almost close to no zits. I remember telling a really close friend that I could actually wash my face with just plain soap and everything would still be clear. And now? Urgh. Ever since entering uni... Sigh. It really does break my little heart.

Sometimes I think I could really cry.
