a small but effective dose of retail therapy
I admit it: I was totally undone by sihaya09's pretty, sparkly, makeup post. The last time I got new makeup was pretty much this time last year, when I became a Mary Kay consultant. Which I didn't think of when I was justifying my purchase at Sephora yesterday, but makes me feel insanely better about it. I've been wanting to do the whole natural glamor ( Read more... ) -
the opposite of war
I've been searching in vain for an outlet, any outlet, to quell this restlessness. Whenever I get too comfortable with life, I get antsy. In the past, a combination of LJ blogging, writing fanfic and origific, reading fanfic, and scrapbooking have all helped, but lately nothing seems to stick ( Read more... ) -
Books of 2011
A bit of a late start, and somewhat frustrating because I honestly have no idea if I'm missing anything up until this point. Ah well. A note: the books on my To Read list by no means comprises My Epic List of Wordy Doom. I have half of my bookshelves in the apartment to read through. The To Read list is a reminder to myself to check these books out ( Read more... ) -

drumroll, please
My frequent Tourettes have subsided for the most part, due to less waking and tossing and turning in the middle of the night, as well as to the fact that...

I GOT THE JOB!!!! I've known since two Monday's ago, but had to pass a drug test and get finger printed and whatnot to guarantee employment. I haven't heard anything ( Read more... ) -
longer than a sound bite
So the good news is, I've been pretty consistently ridiculously happy as of late. I am still taking Zoloft, but it seems to me that as opposed to it making me "artificially" happy, it just sort of helps calm my mind and as a result I can react to anything life throws at me calmly and most often with amusement. Most of the time. The funny thing is ( Read more... ) -
question for ya'll about ethical diamonds
I am STILL kind of freaking out about my Swap...but I think I am just going to have to forgo anything handmade. I had an idea but I just don't think I have the time or the skill to make it happen by October 15. On the one hand it seems like an eternity away, but on the other it seems right around the corner. I figure there are a couple neat things ( Read more... ) -
life etc.
I am dead tired. But life has been SO good lately, family drama-rama notwithstanding. I have tomorrow off, and am SO looking forward to the break. Although it's not really a break, since I have to wake up to go for a run, shower, and be at the store by 12 to pick up my friend because we are going to the Quilt Extravaganza! YAY! Much money that I ( Read more... ) -
adventures in quilting part 1: how to sew
I think I tried sewing a button back onto a pair of shorts once, and it didn't work out very well. That is the extent of my sewing experience prior to tonight. Tonight I sewed the outside of a pin cushion! I will post pictures tomorrow, once it is stuffed and finished. It is gloriously lopsided, and I adore it terribly. I am so glad I decided to ( Read more... ) -
Writer's Block: Where Were You On 9/11?
I was in my AP Chemistry class. I was wearing jean shorts and a pink Abercrombie & Fitch short sleeve shirt. Our teacher was a bit eccentric (to put it mildly) and when the announcement came over the loud speaker that SOMETHING had happened, and that we were encouraged to turn on the news channels, our teacher insisted on finishing up his lesson so ( Read more... )
