1. I NEED to know what's up with the balloon headdress in the top image.

I like to keep that a secret for my future hubby.

It's pretty terrible. Just remember though, it didn't ask to be ugly and moist.

I believe you are mistaken. I admit that I am no expert, but that is definitely a cat.

Just realized that I completely missed a word. My SISTER is in high school.

Go mom. That thing isn't a blemish. It's part of your face!

I'm sorry for laughing at your friends freaking you out. I knew a girl who had this weird aversion to people cupping her elbow (exactly what it sounds like; apparently she had a coach in HS who would do that all the time) so our mutual friend would do that to drive her crazy.

Same. If you wanted to bring someone who wasn't a student, you had to fill out a form and it was automatically rejected if they were 21 or older (I think). Which was a problem for a few people (my best friend started dating her first boyfriend when she was a freshman and he was a senior, so had they not thankfully…

Mine is right next to my nose. I used to HATE it when I was in elementary school. I also have one green eye and one blue one, and I remember being annoyed that my green eye and my beauty mark were on opposite sides because otherwise I could have one half of my face that was normal. (Because apparently I somehow got…

That's obnoxious. I feel like something that major should be confirmed before it's retouched. "Hey, this is a big thing that you obviously have had for many years and don't seem to have made a major effort to hide. Would you like us to get rid of it, or leave it in?" I'm sure some people are self-conscious about scars…

Yeah, I knew some people in high school who had a TON of acne. I can't even imagine what they would look like without it. Like, it was just the way their face was, at least to me as an outsider. Seems like taking it away would be like, I don't know, completely changing their eyebrows or making their nose way different.

Yeah, that seems strange. Like it wouldn't really look like you anymore.

One commenter points out as a photo retoucher they just give everyone the most perfect photo possible because one never knows who's going to complain

My is in high school in rural-ish Oregon and is always very excited to find that a guy she knows has chosen a senior picture that doesn't include either his gun or his truck. Because those two objects accounts for about 90% of the photo props in the yearbook for guys. "Well, the photographer said to bring some things…

Perfect. Duolinguo was even teaching me about red wine the other day!

Does it count if I'm just improving a language I already know? I bet I could try kickboxing or something and it would hit both the "join a gym" resolution trope AND the "learn a new skill" one!

Yes!

Hmmm... never mind. Since I've technically already graduated and am looking for a better-paying job as it is...

Obviously.

How do I get this internship? I would be willing to sit around all day doing online dating for other people (as long as I don't have to do my own).
