The next time someone tells me I look tired...

People probably do it with a good intention, but there's only so many times you can take someone telling you "Gosh, babe, you look washed out" or ""What happened to your voice!! You sound so dull" or worse "You must be the busiest person here - you look like hell". Thanks. But no thanks, really.

Of course, the best is when I get told this on days when I feel fresh and relaxed!!! Predictably all this has driven me to the mirror...but the kohl in my eyes only seems to make the dark circles more prominent :-(. Looks like I've frozen on a default interface.

So here's what I'm going to do the next time someone remarks on the deep pits around my eyes. This is a gag I saw in the trailer for one of the new Start World shows. Two men sitting at a bar, and one of them has *really* prominent dark circles. The other asks him, hey, are you having sleepless nights or something? And the guy responds "Oh no, my dad is a panda."

:-). Don't know if his context was the same, but I sure think this is my last resort. Sorry Dad, but a girl's gotta do what a girl's gotta do!!
