She's terse. I can be terse. Once in flight school, I was laconic.

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

Even mineral makeup makes me break out, so the only way for me to avoid needing makeup is to never wear it. Otherwise it's just a vicious cycle of needing foundation/powder to cover up blemishes caused by the foundation/powder. (Eye makeup lasts a couple of hours, max, before it starts to itch so much I have to wash it off. I just can't stand the feel of it.)

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I'd try wrapping or some sort of light support brace, Cash.

my best face involves at the very least a bit of mineral foundation and a light sheen of powder

I'm sure my best face involves something different from what I'm putting forward--I just don't care. And although I have no proof of breakouts, I can't but wonder.

This week is my first poledancing class. Thursday. No migraines between now and then. Disallowed.

Woe to the fucking wicked.

Oprah saying that every (every!) mistake she's made has been because she ignored her inner voice

Well, it's possible that every good decision she made was ignoring her inner voice, too.

Because books.

I just can't stand the feel of it.

I can say this about every bra I have ever owned.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Oh, Jilli -- my mother was telling me about one of their neighbors, he must be in his early 20s now? Anyway, she described him as dressing "goth," although it sounded possibly more punk to me, but saying how he was still so engaged and talking to them on a visit home and etc. I said you would be pleased with his manners, and referred them to Gothic Charm School.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

Although I could be wrong, but I don't think adults came to my eighth grade "graduation." It was still A Thing!

Parents attended 8th grade graduation, I think, but I remember going to my sister's 10 years later and being amazed at all the entire extended families and the extreme level of dressing up - it seemed (to me) pretty clear not that this was the end of the road for school necessarily but it might be the end, as far as graduations go. [And, frankly, MPS graduation rates pretty much bore that out. I suspect it's not gotten better since.]

You'd think that there shoulda been an earthquake today, of all days, what with the marrying of the gays and all!

It starts tomorrow in WeHo. They're not even doing it at City Hall. They set up a special Marriage Center in an auditorium.

Amy, weirdly, I just had this open in another window. Looks comfy, and I'm curious to try. I'm still looking for the right bra camisole.

ita, if you didn't bid on the jacket for you, I'll be heartbroken. It screams you.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

Even mineral makeup makes me break out, so the only way for me to avoid needing makeup is to never wear it. Otherwise it's just a vicious cycle of needing foundation/powder to cover up blemishes caused by the foundation/powder.

I find this to be mostly true for foundation for me. I don't have a problem with eye makeup or lipstick, but unless it's a special occasion, I skip the foundation entirely. Overall, my skin looks better since I quit it.
