Itchy

Mosquitoes ambushed me on the way home from class last night. My legs are covered in bites. I've got a layer of Benedryl on from when I first woke up, and because I was too dumb to bring the tube to work, I've now slathered on alcohol-and-aloe gel. So incredibly itchy...

It's a really ugly mosquito summer in Austin as well. I've been mosquitoed just about every day I step outside. I'm seriously considering moving to long-sleeved shirts and jeans again, despite the 90-someshing weather.

Long pants in mosquito territory==awesome. Jeans, not so much. Get some light weight hiking pants from REI...

They need to be close around the ankles, or they're useless, too. I had a mosquito fly up my pants a couple months ago. I think it got stuck and just kept biting or something - I had a cluster of three or four bites within a handspan of each other up by my knee.
