There was a lady who came in to the store and told me that with my "beautiful complexion", I shouldn't be wearing such dark makeup.  The funny thing is, I'm wearing my professional makeup when I'm there...  Evidently she used to be a makeup artist, and she wanted to show me how to add colour to my face without looking like a ghost ( Read more... )

I don't keep up with them, and I forever let them down.  Obviously, I haven't a clue what I'm doing.  It seems that my life occurs in waves.  At the moment, I feel like such an incredible loser.  I am an artist, a writer, a musician... and I do not create.  I have been befriended by some truly amazing people throughout my life, and I do not know ( Read more... )

Here I am, finally able to write, to respond, to have a life outside of work... and I'm exhausted and falling asleep.

I miss the times when I could stay up for days on end with no repercussions to my health and emotional well-being.  I miss being my normal nocturnal self.

I miss nighttime.

Until tomorrow then... dream beautifully and live

I honestly didn't think I'd be missed all that much.  I'm very glad to be back, and I look forward to the honest exchange of ideas that I always receive here ( Read more... )

And... I fully intend to answer each of the comments and thoughts I have received since I've been gone.  I really have missed this place.  It's more of a haven than anywhere I've found online, and I intend to utilise it to the fullest.

Take care of yourselves, and know that you are loved. 

I am so very sorry for abandoning this blog and all of you for such a long time.  I *co...forgotmypassword...ugh*.  Among other things...

I would say that my face is red, but you guys know better...

Suffice it to say, I have much to update you on, and look forward to finding out what has been happening in your worlds, as well.  Please forgive me.

I've been lousy at answering comments, and lousy at keeping up with this journal.  I am making a resolution to answer all that people have posted to me, and to post more myself.  Or is that more of myself?  At any rate, please accept this apology, and know that I am still here, and that I am still wanting to put more into this journal.  I shall ( Read more... )

And the storms rage...

What have I gotten myself into?  I feel like I've placed myself directly in the path of conflict.  I don't mind conflict, if it creates something worthwhile in the end.  I know that nothing in this life is ever wasted.  Anyone that knows me the least bit more deeply than the superficial knows this about me ( Read more... )

"...There is much to be said about missing those independent days.  I miss mine, though I love my husband more than I could dare to think.  I miss being able to go out of town for shows and to see old friends.  I miss hanging out all night with people I truly had much in common with.  We would stage impromptu musicals and plays on the grassy ( Read more... )
