doesn't it just figure?

after years of dealing with blemishes and breakouts well into my 20s, i've finally had some decently clear skin for the past 6 months or so.
as of yesterday, i could feel something brewing to the side of my nostril. one of those painful, hard, red bumps just under the skin. it is progressively getting more red as the day progresses, despite my valiant attempts not to touch it. (must feel how big it's gotten!) this just figures the day before i leave for blogher and attempt to make a good impression on all the cool ladies. yeesh!
