    And also that I feel really weird saying all of this 'cause I'm white enough that it is hard for me to find foundation in SWEDEN which is basically impossible.

Haha, I almost use that. I use the whitest one I can find because I have no brown pigment in my skin, so If I put anything brown on it it looks like some kind of slightly racist brownface.

So now I look like a ghost instead.

More seriously, I'm like an open book (note, I have had very intelligent Swedish people that I trust tell me that I can be VERY hard to read, but that is more because I have a constant resting-bitchface and my natural expression is 'slight anger'. [By the way, a resting bitchface is the best thing ever. If you never smile people treat your smiles like catnip. I am not kidding. I have gotten out of so many situations by just smiling at people. Not dishonestly, just by smiling at them and showing emotions ] eh, where was I...) because of my skin. If I get embarrassed the world WILL know. Even if i spend the whole summer in Sweden my cheeks are a slight red from March to October.
