1.16.2009 scar

Recently a charming companion looked at me and commented enthusiastically Hey, that scar has vanished!

You know, the vicious slash I acquired a few weeks after moving here, when the experts noticed a cancerous lesion.

In the middle of my face.

Resulting, of course, in a mark that aged me by at least five years - I'd certainly always without fail been carded before, even in a country that has a drinking age of eighteen.

Though everyone was very polite about it at the time.

I blinked and reviewed my mental files, then said So for the last four and a half years you have been lying about the fact that it was visible at all, let alone a disfiguring feature?

He replied Well... yeah.

Not surprising at all coming from someone proud to be known as the "Lindsay Lohan of Logic."

Still. I knew it was there, and the fact that everyone (except, of course, the resident teenager) rushed to reassure me did not help.
