The Itch

I have very sweet skin. Ever since I was younger, I would always come back from camping trips with by far the most mosquito bites out of anyone in my family. Not only do I always get a cubic crap ton, but they itch. I'm too old to dunk my foot in calamine lotion (plus pink really isn't my colour) but I'd like to think that I have the self-control to resist scratching them so that they'll go away quicker. 

Well, last Tuesday I went to the drive-in movie theatre in Jefferson on Highway 18. We saw a double feature of Despicable Me 2 and Furious 6 (also known as The Fast And The Furious 6). I haven't seen any of the prequels in these two franchises, but both were enjoyable in their own ridiculous ways. The first is an animated movie with Kristin Wiig, Kristin Schaal, and Steve Carrell and a major plot point involves fart guns. The later has endless incomprehensible Vin Diesel lines and a 45 mile long runway. Anyway, the moral of the story is don't go to a drive in sans-bug spray and sit with the trunk open. 

My battle gear. Portability. Variety. "Breathe Thru The Itch."

I did a rough count on Thursday and I easily got over 200 bites.

That's including quite a few on the bottom of my foot! 

The sides of both legs and both feet definitely got it the worse

However I had a really fun sucker right on my middle knuckle!

All in all, they didn't itch too too badly. Thursday afternoon and Friday night had some withdrawal-esque itchy times, but I did really well and most of them are already fading and not itchy! Wooo nature. But also FU nature.
