I AM a nice person, dammit

I know I seem like a real bitch.

But, I really do have emotions. Seriously.

Everytime I see something on the Discovery Channel about someone who's considered a "Miracle Marvel," I just get teary-eyed.

You know who makes me *almost* cry the most? John Merrick. The Elephant Man. I just feel so bad for him. And here WE bitch about our appearances.....how vain! That poor guy...He once got off a train in London and the people chased him through the station to get him out of there..thinking he was a monster. He was just a 25-year-old with a horrible birth defect.

I really wish I could have been there to hug him and say, "You can come stay at my house..." I just want to cry thinking about it. Poor guy.

So, the next time you think that your appearance isn't pleasing, please be grateful that you don't look like poor John Merrick. Poor guy.


He's only about 25 here. Do you think you're pretty now??


Modern-day Science declared this is how he *should* have looked...

So, let's all think of this poor guy before we disdain ourselves....shall we??
