waking up more than 30 minutes before I have to be someplace.
This and the fact that my skin freaks out even at mineral makeup keep me pretty firmly in the LAZY category.
I can beat up demons until the cows come home, and then I can beat up the cows.

Literary Buffistas 3: Don't Parse the Blurb, Dear.
There's more to life than watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer! No. Really, there is! Honestly! Here's a place for Buffistas to come and discuss what it is they're reading, their favorite authors and poets. "Geez. Crack a book sometime."

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
That's where I've gotten to. I can't afford to have a "look".
I don't agree with this one. The most styling person in my office probably spends less than anyone else here, as she gets all of her clothes from thrift stores. She has a funky/80s/urchin thing going on which is great. So you can have a look on no money but you gotta spend a lot of time thinking about it, which I know you don't have.
I myself have a look, but sadly my look is "a shirt and jeans or cargo pants". Gone are the days of tutus and vintage beaded cardigans. I do wear funky jewelry and shoes, which is where any style I now have shows up.

There's also the "the look I want looks stupid on the body I have". Seems all the other Ladies of Size get to the thrift stores before I do.
But I do just want to re-iterate: capris are of the devil, and I'm being forced to the sewing machine because no one makes an affordable (ie, Wal-Mart/Target) skirt that doesn't make my hips look like a well-stuffed sausage. Designers are buttheads.

I do just want to re-iterate: capris are of the devil
I deeply resent capris, because they look so cute on other women, and look totally silly on me. There is no place on my calf that is a good spot to be visually cut in half by a hem.

I prefer palazzo pants, myself.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
I seem to have finally settled into the Rockstar look, which seduces items from Goth and Punk, promises them pretty things, and then makes off in the middle of the night on the motorcycle.

But you said you loved me!

I do, baby, I do. I just can't be tied down, y'know. I'm a cowgirl, on a steel horse I ride....
