Reason to Drink

Blogged under Uncategorized on Friday 20 June 2008 at 10:14 am

While paying for a drink and gum at a gas station last night the woman in line behind me asked, “Does your rash hurt?”

“Um, it’s pretty itchy, but wine helps.”

Before she had a chance to respond the cashier motioned for me to pay for my purchase.  When I turned around she was gone.

I got home and studied myself in the mirror.  I was wearing a tank top, but the rash is limited to just my legs.  I looked at myself from every angle in the mirror and couldn’t see any spots of rash.  For the life of me I could not figure out how this woman had noticed my rash.

And then it hit me.

Not only did I write about the rash on the Internet, but I also posted a picture of my left ass cheek for all to see.

Great.  Just great.

And you know what else wine helps?  It helps me forget public humiliation–one glass at a time.

Every time you share me I won't punch a kitten!

    LOL … yeah sometimes I forget that I shared things until someone brings it up as party small talk and I about choke on my wine as I say, “uh … what?”

    Ah the perils of being a pseudo local celebrity.

    I didn’t know that was your ass cheek.

  3. Comment 3by Jenna — June 20, 2008 @ 10:34 am

    Dang. I guess fans reveal themselves in various ways. But, what are the changes of that?

    Wine = Certainly helps.

    Sometimes, what else is there to do, right?

  5. Comment 5by SquirrelMonkey — June 20, 2008 @ 10:47 am

    I didn’t know about your rash until I saw this yesterday on my way to work…

  6. Comment 6by Kate — June 20, 2008 @ 10:54 am

    Hey, you have a famous ass.. I mean rash!

    That calls for wine – to celebrate.

  7. Comment 7by Kate — June 20, 2008 @ 10:55 am

    p.s. viewed the link squirrelmonkey left – hilarious! fricking hilarious!!

  8. Comment 8by Jess — June 20, 2008 @ 10:55 am

    Yikes. That is pretty creepy, but cheaper than paying for site tracking. Know who reads your site based on how many rash-related comments you get from strangers! Innovative.

  9. Comment 9by Lizzy — June 20, 2008 @ 11:17 am

    Normally after finding out there was a pic of your ass on the internet, I would have flirted a little & said “nice ass”….but Sarah, I gotta be honest, that one is not a turn on..!! ;) Luv ya anyways!!

  10. Comment 10by girlwithmask — June 20, 2008 @ 11:22 am

    OHMYGOSH I would have been MORTIFIED!

  11. Comment 11by Citizen Kim — June 20, 2008 @ 11:42 am

    Brave girl- thanks for (over)sharing!

    Pls pls tell me that squirrelmonkey photoshopped that!!@#$$???

    Otherwise, that might call for a can of whupass no?

  12. Comment 12by Kathleen — June 20, 2008 @ 12:11 pm

    That is fantastic!

  13. Comment 13by Loralee — June 20, 2008 @ 12:23 pm

    I think I would have paid good money to witness that moment.

  14. Comment 14by Brittany — June 20, 2008 @ 12:39 pm

    Creep-tastic.

    This is what happens when you are famous, next up, marrying KFed and hitting rehab:)

  15. Comment 15by rachel — June 20, 2008 @ 1:43 pm

    That’s absolutely hysterical.
    Yet creepy at the same time. Why the hell didn’t she comment on anything else you write about, just your rashed up ass cheek. Yowza woman.
    I guess that’s one of the perils of being a famous bloggity blogger.

  16. Comment 16by WindyCity — June 20, 2008 @ 2:15 pm

    I guess that’s one way of saying hi.

  17. Comment 17by natalie — June 20, 2008 @ 2:30 pm

    i knew you had a famous face, but i had no idea other parts of you were famous! can i have your autograph?

  18. Comment 18by Flahute — June 20, 2008 @ 3:32 pm

    I would never have guessed that was your left ass-cheek. I thought it was your right ass-cheek.

    Sheesh.

  19. Comment 19by Cathy — June 20, 2008 @ 6:23 pm

    I love the way you share !!!
    This is very funny and I love how “raw” you are.

    Cheers

    PS – Wine makes things so much better – that would be my perscription for just about whatever ails you. :)

  20. Comment 20by Jeffery — June 20, 2008 @ 7:37 pm

    Regarding your left butt cheek: Towards to bottom right hand corner there’s a bit of a blond hair. That’s so hot…such a tease.

    Loveyourhairybutt,
    J.

  21. Comment 21by Lindaloohoo — June 20, 2008 @ 8:03 pm

    yeah, i don’t really know where that line is either.
    you know, that should i share that or not line?
    i always err on the side of ‘oh what the hell.’
    someone may recognize my not a twenty year old’s ass from my description of it, but not from a photo. i won’t even LOOK at my ass in the mirror, let alone take a photo of it.
    i admire you greatly.

  22. Comment 22by Citizen Kim — June 20, 2008 @ 8:08 pm

    Ok- now I have reason to drink- not that I needed another, but thanks. I just have to say that I keep checking back bc I am soo curious as to the veracity of the squirrelmonkey post- bc if true I just can’t imagine life going on as planned for squirrelmonkey or myself, if sarah. i kindof need to know as a new blogger- are rash billboards an actual possibility?

    AND, now I’m also a little weirded out bc of jeffery- I had to go back and check out sarah’s “sexy” blond ass hair!@@# this is not healthy friday night behavior- I’ve got some blogs that might remain unpublished now- thanks to scaryassmonkeysquirrelhairs… or is that just me?

  23. Comment 23by Joshua — June 20, 2008 @ 9:25 pm

    Tremendous.

    Maybe this’ll remind you we’re not the only ones who cause hilarity:

  24. Comment 24by Sarah — June 20, 2008 @ 10:05 pm

    Jeffery, my darling, beloved gay,

    I hate to disappoint you, but that’s not a sexy little hair. It’s a very gross scratch on my skin from my fingernails. If you look closely, which I DO NOT RECOMMEND, you can see scratches everywhere. I almost cropped the picture for that very reason, but I’m lazy as hell and it wasn’t worth the bother.

  25. Comment 25by twinkle beverages — June 20, 2008 @ 10:15 pm

    Wow, your left ass cheek reminds me of an old episode of “Sex and the City”. The one with the backside of an 80 year old man. Sorry.

  26. Comment 26by Ava — June 21, 2008 @ 5:56 am

    Oh I want to be in your drunk book club. I mean…we can BE drunk right?

  27. Comment 27by Heather — June 21, 2008 @ 11:19 am

    I am very curious – not about your rash, because believe me I have felt your pain. Someday if I ever meet you I will have to tell you the story of my July 2007 Amsterdam heat rash – but about your dog. By the way, I am a lurker. I found your blog from Loralee’s Blog (where I also lurk) because she’s the Sister of a Boss I used to have. It’s a small and weird world.

    So here it finally is…

    I love your dog, she is so cute, but I was wondering how she lost her eye.

  28. Comment 28by Lester Burnham — June 21, 2008 @ 11:53 am

    You’re not intelligent Sarah, this blog doesn’t make you famous. You think that this person actually saw you from behind and recognized you from a shot of your ass on your blog? You’ve got serious problems. If I ever saw you I’d tell you you’re a dumb stupid bitch who needs to grow up and learn about the world. Everything you say makes it seems like you think wine comes from tomatoes.

  29. Comment 29by Lindsey — June 21, 2008 @ 12:23 pm

    Wow! Lester needs to go back to American Beauty suburbia. I love your blog. You rock!

  30. Comment 30by GEORGE! — June 21, 2008 @ 12:26 pm

    I agree with Lester.

  31. Comment 31by Aaron — June 21, 2008 @ 12:31 pm

    I just read your twitter message and had to come see for myself what all the hate was about. Lester the molester needs to go back where he came from.

    Nice to see you can laugh at the haters and not let them get under your skin. I admire you for not deleting it, I would have instantly.

    I read your blog daily and I think it’s safe to assume that many others do as well. Keep up the good work!

  32. Comment 32by Brittany — June 21, 2008 @ 12:40 pm

    Wait…wine doesn’t come from tomatoes?

  33. Comment 33by natalie — June 21, 2008 @ 12:44 pm

    i had a secret admirer in 9th grade named lester. he left notes in my locker for a week before he finally revealed his identity. when i read the note he signed i had no idea who he was and found out later that he was quite strange.

    i also had a professor in college named lester. everyone called him lester the tester, the grade point molester.

    when i hear the name lester i think of these guys. not a big fan of the name needless to say. your lester sounds like a winner as well!

  34. Comment 34by Flahute — June 21, 2008 @ 1:52 pm

    Lester’s just pissed because in this life, not only does he not get to fuck Angela Hayes, but he’d even have a hard time convincing Col. Fitts to fuck him.

  35. Comment 35by karen — June 21, 2008 @ 3:08 pm

    I feel you (on the rash). A few years ago I had an insanely ichy rash that basically ran all the way around my torso beneath the band on my bra. No matter what the doctor tried it would not go away. It eventually went away on it’s own about 3 weeks later, but man was I ever miserable (especially since I had a 45 minute commute in a car with no AC).

    So I’m not sure what’s worse–a rash on my ass or one under my bra. Either one sucks.

  36. Comment 36by Jillybean — June 21, 2008 @ 3:49 pm

    Lester needs to go get laid or something. But I’m getting the feeling that he is as hopeless with women as he is with put-downs.

    Nice try Lester. Go play with your peers on a pre-school blog somewhere!

  37. Comment 37by joe — June 21, 2008 @ 4:07 pm

    Hey Lester, you douchebag – leave Sarah alone. Go jerk off or molest dogs, or whatever you do.

  38. Comment 38by Jeffery — June 21, 2008 @ 4:34 pm

    Let poor Lester say what he wants!!! Who are we to say what he should be doing with his refractory period? (I like to eat. So what if Lester likes to be an asshole-douchebag) There’s only so many times you can beat off to farm animal porn in a twenty four hour period anyway. The rest of the time he should be away from the computer licking windows and buttercupping his own farts. He’s harmless.

  39. Comment 39by melissa — June 21, 2008 @ 6:27 pm

    my guess….lester has a blog that he is quite proud of, where he tries to be witty but gets no hits and is therefore jealous of your fans and fame!

    i read you every day!

  40. Comment 40by Kate — June 21, 2008 @ 8:34 pm

    I think Lester’s playin hard to get.

    Don’t let his sour attitude fool you..

    ha ha ha ha ha ha!

  41. Comment 41by Brandi — June 22, 2008 @ 11:26 am

    Sarah, I read you everyday. You are my hero. I aspire to have your sense of humor and your wine consuming capabilities.

    Lester is a mother-fuckin’ d-bag.

  42. Comment 42by AK — June 22, 2008 @ 5:19 pm

    @Lester Burnham – reread the blogs entries – You are confused — there was no rash showing. If you still need further explanation, just post – I’ll try to walk you through it.

  43. Comment 43by LogicalLibby — June 22, 2008 @ 7:59 pm

    I once saw Dooce at Toys R Us. I could not figure how I knew her and almost went up just to say hello and see if I could figure it out. Thank god I didn’t…

  44. Comment 44by slickwillis — June 23, 2008 @ 12:18 pm

    I love your blog and check it at least 3 times a day for your little updates. Just wanted to let you know that if you are looking for a wino weekend get away, head to Grand Junction, Co and do the winery loop. 21 vinards and lots and lots of free wine tasting.. If you already haven’t done it. Amazing wine and not very far from Salt Lake. Coloradowines.com
