I am also looking for a hairstyle for a wedding where my best friend Maria is a bridesmaid.

She is wearing the below, in chocolate, with a long skirt:

This is she--

and she has very fine, thin hair and an oval face

I can't get in to your friend's picture, but I liked this page [link] because it has before and after.

Hairdo- 5th row down on far right in the bride section- except instead of leaving half down I'd leave some artfully placed whisps.

Jon and NW- all the awwws and sniffles in the world.

Please tell me why I have a burning need to read the transcripts of the entire Season 3 of Roswell instead of, well , packing up the mountains of crap I have collected in three years.

Because you are me. I apologize. And, you really should get cracking on that personal statement.

Thanks Heather and Jesse.

My BF Maria's brother John is getting married on labor day, and I am a) doing alterations on Maria's dress, the flower girl dresses, and potentially the bride dress; b) keeping an eye on her daughter (the flower girl) and potentially the neice (another flower girl) and ;c0 I seem to be in charge of Maria's hair.

However, when I just lost my apartment, she spent 2 days calling and setting up appointments for me, and presented them to me with a map of where to go.

It is great to have friends.

That's a good friend.

For one of my friends' weddings another friend and I ended up doing last minute alterations on dresses. I suppose I got stuck with it because I had the machine and Cyn because she seems like she was born knowing how to do that stuff. 3 dresses in I hit the duct tape like a crackhead hits the pipe.

It's somehow especially nice when you can be good friends to each other right in a row like that. Nice!

That's a good friend.

Yeah. i some from a really small family-- my mom, my grandparents (deceased), two rather sidtant uncles and me.

She has a mom, a dad (deceased) three brothers and a million assorted cousins.

She always tells me in a crisis to remember I am part of her family now, too. And they are all helping me move.

Please tell me why I have a burning need to read the transcripts of the entire Season 3 of Roswell instead of, well , packing up the mountains of crap I have collected in three years.

Any sane person would do almost anything rather than pack mountains of crap, even if the latter really needs to be done. It's similar to the concept of cleaning when you should be doing homework, only you are more sane, because watching Roswell actually sounds kind of fun.

This explanation is important to me. Now I can blame my messy apartment on having been out of school for years.

Slacktivist references BtVS to prove that Cordelia and Xander were smarter than Dubya. (Of course, we knew that.)

I should not have read that- now I can hear that stupid condecending tone.
