Embarrassing.

So although I'm not actually an albino, I tend to be rather pale. Very pale, really. Albino-esque, but with very dark hair.

There's literally nothing I can do to combat the translucence. I can't go tanning [cancer, anyone?] and I refuse to resort to spray tan or tanning lotion, because they turn me orange.

As a result, I sit back and watch myself get paler and paler with each passing day.

Now the embarrassing part:

Yesterday Pinks painted my fingernails for me. I can't have bright colors because of work, so I found the lightest pink possible.

The funny part? I thought, for just a minute, that it made my hands look tan. By contrast, obviously. The lighting in her room gave me a subtle glow... But in real light?

Nope. It's the same color as me. Pale, pale, pale, pale pink.

Embarrassing.
