Layers of the Epidermis and Shit That Makes Me Sad

Stratum basale - keratinocytes and stem cells which make more keratinocytes.
Stratum spinosum - keratinocytes make keratin and flatten out.
Stratum granulosum - contain keratohyalin granules which are used to stick keratin to epidermis... later.
Stratum corneum - 30+ layers of keratin (dead keratinocytes).

Things that make me sad:

1. Sitting at my desk for 6+ hours studying when the whole world is out there, waiting for me to explore it.

2. Losing touch with friends.

3. Poor self esteem.

4. Spending over six hours reading a blog and getting to the end (really, the beginning).

5. Watching people I care about being sad and not being able to do anything about it.

6. Sad love stories.

7. Getting sunburnt.

8. Most Paramore songs.

9. Good memories of times long ago.

10. Menstruation.

10 always makes me sad and frustrated. I'd rather no uterus than going through that every month.

Also, whose blog did you read from start to finish (end to beginning - I like that thought)?

I miss the times I was happy with my friends as well. Never thought It'd be but the times I had with you at age 13 from the other side of the country with no external responsibility were the best of my life

nah, i like having a uterus but you think it could conserve some energy instead of doing spring cleaning every month. wasteful. that is my precious uterine lining youre disposing of.

procrastination = many many blog readings. too many. i have read too many from end to beginning, it's sad.

Did you ever think uterine lining could be that... well, gross? I hate it when I read in books young girls are dying for their period and to subsequently "become a woman." I had a few friends that were late bloomers that wanted nothing more than to get their period.

WHY? IT SMELLS AND SHIT.


I should update my blog more often like you... ever read mine from end to beginning? Only 4 posts in total =P

When are you coming to Sydney? I need to see you.

no effing shit uterine lining is gross. like zzzzz.... yeah i was reading hyperbole and ahalf and one of her earlier posts was about getting her period for the first time and she described how when she first got it she thought she'd shat her pants and that is EXACTLY my reaction when i first got mine.. i was like... frick, this is embarrassing. i've lost control of my bowels.


yeah, uterine lining is rank. but it's like i'd rather keep it up in that shit, out of sight out of mind rather than have it spill out of my vagina every month, no lie.

har hararh, yes i've read your lbog end to beginning darling.

i hope to next year or year after! to go to the syd-meister that is. stalk community channel, sit on some steps, gape at the glory that is the sydney harbour bridge and all that.

over and out.
