I was at a water park with one of my new friends and all of his friends. When the camera guy came around to ask if we wanted a photo they all said yes. Later when I went to visit a different guy's house I saw several photos just like the one we had taken. I thought maybe they had wanted to do it because I was there. Nope. I was just a perk.

Well about 30 minutes after our photo was taken the kid came and brought us our pictures. They were passing around our copies and there was a lot of rapid fire, non-intelligible Russian going on. All I could really hear was a lot of "black" and "white." Then my friend turned to me and said "We should photoshop it so we're all as white as you." I died. Then I looked at the photo. Then I really died. I looked like a constipated vampire who was annoyed to have finally been caught on film. White doesn't begin to describe how I looked. This was in early July by the way. White like a sheet of paper. Sitting between two shirtless Uzbek guys who were as tan as brown crayons. When I started telling them how I wished I was as dark as they were they lost interest because they assumed I was a crazy person without a brain. I knew the girls here hated being dark, but apparently the boys are just as sensitive though too lazy to stay out of the sun like the girls.
