I&amp;nbsp;titled it clumps to make it similar to mumps, however, I needed some welps on my skin if I was going&amp;nbsp;to be serious about this. So I painted little&amp;nbsp;red dots all over my body until I looked like a brunette version of pippy longstockings. My mom asked me why she had&amp;nbsp;never heard of it, I told her that it was so rare and such a bad case, no one had ever even thought of it.&amp;nbsp;I refused to go to school, after the principal heard and failed to understand my "disease." I even went as far&amp;nbsp;as to go to a Psychiatrist to prove my point, can you &lt;EM&gt;believe&lt;/EM&gt; I&amp;nbsp;failed at my desperate&amp;nbsp;attempt at explaining&amp;nbsp;clumps? I mean, I even went into its origin and everything.</description><comments>http://o-dirty-blonde-o.xanga.com/715225029/what-was-the-worst-lie-you-made-up-to-get-out-of-work-or-school/#firstcomment</comments></item><item><title>Happy Birthday to Me!</title><link>http://o-dirty-blonde-o.xanga.com/706257338/happy-birthday-to-me/</link><guid>http://o-dirty-blonde-o.xanga.com/706257338/happy-birthday-to-me/</guid><pubDate>Fri, 03 Jul 2009 02:19:14 GMT</pubDate><description>&lt;U&gt;Yay!&lt;/U&gt;</description><comments>http://o-dirty-blonde-o.xanga.com/706257338/happy-birthday-to-me/#firstcomment</comments></item><item><title>Affordable, Yet Fashionable Outfits</title><link>http://o-dirty-blonde-o.xanga.com/706255889/affordable-yet-fashionable-outfits/</link><guid>http://o-dirty-blonde-o.xanga.com/706255889/affordable-yet-fashionable-outfits/</guid><pubDate>Fri, 03 Jul 2009 02:05:58 GMT</pubDate><description>&lt;P&gt;I thought this would be a cute and helpful segment for all you fashionistas who are looking for a hot outfit, without the big price tag (like me!).

And as you walk by others, you'll notice their plaid shirts/skirts passing you by. Also, the celebs are right there with us, rather, than probably started it, haha. As for me, I l.o.v.e. this new plaid trend and brought many new plaid shirts which are adorable, since the trend has came back.

I am not going to give you a story about his "continuous drug use," his "plastic surgery," his "hatred towards his father," or his "cutting out Deborah Roe in his will." Instead, I am going to shy away from his personal life (you can tune into the news for that, trust me, it's on EVERY channel) and tell you about what a wonderful musician Jackson was. Just starting out a youngin' in the Jackson 5, working his way up to an amazing solo career that even launched him the biggest selling album of all time (i.e. &lt;A href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AtyJbIOZjS8"&gt;Thriller&lt;/A&gt;).&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;A href="http://x34.xanga.com/58487a0053200248046143/b90136019.jpg" target=_blank&gt;&lt;IMG style="BORDER-RIGHT-WIDTH: 0px; BORDER-TOP-WIDTH: 0px; BORDER-BOTTOM-WIDTH: 0px; HEIGHT: 320px; BORDER-LEFT-WIDTH: 0px" alt="michael jackson thriller" src="http://x34.xanga.com/58487a0053200248046143/z90136019.jpg" width=335 height=400&gt;&lt;/A&gt; &lt;SPAN style="WIDTH: 0px"&gt;&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;EM&gt;Charlie's Angel&lt;/EM&gt; star&amp;nbsp;Farrah Fawcett, died also on June 25th, 2009, just 62, after her terrible battle with cancer.
