Dear Diary,
Why is it considered mean to take time out of ones evening in deep concern to find out what is terribly wrong with his head. Bloodboy has a discoloration of hair, kind of looks like elderly women patched blonde hair in square quilts to his head.
My intensive research (via Google because the internet never lies) says:
A piebald is an animal, such as a horse or ball python, that has a spotting pattern of large unpigmented (sometimes expressed as white) areas and normally pigmented patches (black in the horse pictured). The colour of the animal's skin underneath its coat is both the natural color (under the black patches of hair in this example) and pigmentless (under the white patches in the horse example). This alternating colour pattern is irregular and asymmetrical. Other than colour, it is similar in appearance to the skewbald pattern. Some animals also exhibit colouration of the irises of the eye that match the surrounding skin (blue eyes for pink skin, brown for dark). The underlying genetic cause is related to a condition known as leucism.
That's right Diary, Bloodboy has PIEBALD.
I immediately brought it to his attention whereas he became quite upset. As if it's MY fault he has a genetic disorder commonly found in horses and ball pythons!
Of course there is no cure other then perhaps Revlon #3 coloring, but at least he was given a name to the freakish patches on his head.
No gratitude whatsoever! He lifted his theoretical petticoat, stomped his foot, allowed the excess of blood (yes Diary he also has hemochromatosis) to rush to his face which of course makes the blonde patches show even more and walked away. Mumbling no less.
Tell me Diary... tell me what it takes to get some gratitude for the hard work I do on trying to decipher all that is wrong with Bloodboy?
*SIGH* I guess I must continue on without a sliver of thanks.
