One of the happiest days of my life was discovering what happens to my skin after three days of even, moderate tanning and/or tanning lotion. You ever seen a dark chinese person with that darkish gold skin? Like that, but no brown.
Some of my happier days are when I'm reminded of this fact, like today.
Also, there are very few sociology teachers at my school, but its my major, so I see the same five or so teachers every semester. One of them makes education downright fun. The nuer(spelling?) of Sudan in Africa remind me strongly of the blue Avatar people, except they wear these thin, white bone armbands about their upper arms and keep their hair cropped.
