Motivator

November 7th, 2005

Stevel and I tried to set up a series of rewards this weekend for my making progress on the writing of my thesis. On Saturday, I enjoyed all of my rewards, even though I took a three-hour nap instead of writing my thesis. But yesterday I made great progress, and as one of my rewards, Stevel let me work on popping a pimple that had appeared on his arm some days earlier. I know this is very gross, and I’m sorry, but I had been feeming to pop this pimple. Stevel has a really practical way of dealing with his rare blemishes; he puts astringent on them, and they go away in a day or two. So this was a real concession for him. But alas, the pimple was too great. I worked that bad boy with pinchy fingers and with a needle, and nothing worked! As of this morning, the pimple remains victor. Stevel said, “You have met your match.”

    PIMPLES!!! I love popping pimples (not on me). I especially like popping ingrown hairs and clogged pores. Ahhh … this is why people need each other, not to wash backs or say, “I love you” but to take care of the really nasty stuff.
