Death is your art. You make it with your hands day after day. That final gasp, that look of peace. And part of you is desperate to know: What's it like? Where does it lead you? And now you see, that's the secret. Not the punch you didn't throw or the kicks you didn't land. She really wanted it. Every Slayer has a death wish. Even you.

OMG, rookie error. I painted my nails without peeing before.

I've removed my pants with pliers on occasions such as that. Really.

ARgh. The thrifting gods thwarted me today, and I could not find an ivory wedding dress to cut up. I am now left with the make a floofy skirt from scratch option. Gnnng.

Heyyyy, not a bad idea. I could ask my roommate, but her bf is still here. Let's see just how handy this 10-in-one painter's tool I have sitting on my coffee table is.

I just did my taxes. Well, I downloaded a program and punched all the numbers in...why did I resist this for so long. I am getting a decent return, not OMG huge, but twice as much as I expected. The urge to do some shopping is almost too much.

Success! Thanks, sarameg. Got them zipped back up and everything.

Ooh, bonus points for a zipper! (When I do my nails, I'm usually in for the night, so in knit pants or leggings.)

Sometimes, my attempt at improvising result in epic failures. And most with weird looks when I confess them. But sometimes, they really work!

I got a question for anyone who has a high deductible health insurance plan. For example, I have a $3k deductible before I pay 20%.

My question is, how do they count the $3k? Is that $3k out of my pocket? $3k in bills submitted before they apply their contract rates? After their contract rates? I just checked on mine and it says I've met my deductible, but there is no way I've paid that myself. I'm just confused.
