I always thought the name Serenity had a vaguely funereal sound to it.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Someone was talking about compulsive hair pulling and wrote "I have pulled out nearly all my pubic hair lol and then I pick the scabs!"

So much of this sentence disturbs me on so many levels.

It's the 'lol' that's most disturbing.

my fingernail beds are too large for those kits. feh.

When I've gone into Sally's to buy a jug of acetone (which reminds me, that time again,) I used to see you could buy individual nails in a whole range of sizes. But that's only if you want to do it yourself, and not pre-painted, I don't think. I lucked out with the pre-packaged stuff working. And so I get to avoid the peoples.

I have Cash's nails and I've always been afraid fake nails would make them worse. I don't do manicures on myself; my method of nail care is to keep cutting off the broken parts.

I'm so uncoordinated my home-done pedicures look like a crazed kindergartener did it lefthanded. So I get my toes done professionally. I don't do my fingernails: they're flat & hangnailed and I just can't be bothered. Manicures are a level of girlyness I can't handle, somehow.

Because books.

I do my own nails, but I rely on those correction pens because I always manage to get polish all over my cuticles.

Peoples! Have I not taught you the trick to this? Paint your nails, let them dry thoroughly, and then take a bath or shower. The extra polish slopped over on your cuticles will separate from the polish on your nails, thus allowing it to be scuffed/scrubbed off.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

Juliana tried to convince me I could do my own nails, if I practiced more.

That still makes me laugh.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

That's my trick, too! Especially on my toes.

You never told me that! That's a good idea.

Well, sauteed shrimp with chardonnay-dijon cream sauce was a mixed success tonight. It was fun to mount a complex cooking operation, and the end result was edible and interesting if not delicious. But I think next time I'll skip the sauce and just sautee the shrimp with garlic butter and parsley.
