Previously I blogged about how I thought I might have vitiligo. In addition to showing some symptoms, there is the issue that a bunch of people in my family have it.

In fact, I was recently hanging out with a cousin of mine (I have a bazillion cousins because my dad has eight siblings and my mom has three), and my cousin has vitiligo. We talked a lot about it, I told her about what I had, she said that was not vitiligo. The spots have since disappeared as well, which is reassuring (although vitiligo comes and goes....my cousin had a bad case when she was pregnant, due to the stress of pregnancy, but it subsided after she gave birth....can you imagine being pregnant with vitiligo, that must really suck).

So, the point is that we can still be friends. You know lots of people won't be friends with you if you have vitiligo or some similar disorder. I would, though, because I'm cool like that.

And because I'm cool like that, here's the Digable Planets song, "Cool Like That."
