Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

extended use of Seche made my nails peel like crazy.

This happens to me with any nail polish that has formaldehyde in it. It takes months for the damage to grow out.

I started taking a seaweed supplement for iodine, and it has made such a difference in my mood and my ability to stay awake all day, almost from the first day.

ita, I'm so sorry you have to deal with all this unhelpful crap from your doctors. Anti-helpful, even.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

Doctors keep trying to diagnose me with anemia, because I'm female and vegan and frequently tired, but every blood test since I was in my early teens has shown my iron level slightly above the normal range. (My rheumatologist's explanation for me being frequently tired is that, since my tendons don't hold my joints together like they're supposed to, my muscles have to work harder, so pretty much any everyday movement uses more energy for me than it does for other people.)

What emoticon did we come up with for eye-rolling? Because someone left a comment on my blood spatter nail tutorial asking what brands had the MAC Villainous colors.

That's right! I'll just be over here, doing that.

the hardest to learn / was the least complicated

The Boy is currently ordering a Superman t-shirt online for Halloween. I convinced him to wear his suit with the t-shirt under it, and when people ask him who he is, to rip open the button down shirt.

What? He had to buy the suit for his mom's funeral, and he said he wanted to find other places to wear it! Plus, he's an adult; he could have said no to my suggestion if he didn't want to be Superman.

(I told him as a bonus, he could change out of the suit later, keep the t-shirt on, put on jeans, and tell people he's Sheldon.)

t edit Plus, at the party we're going to, people will be STUNNED to see him not in a dress and heels. Seriously. I cannot stress enough how shocked they'll be to see him in Serious Men's Attire. Imagine people's reaction if Jilli were to wear jeans, white Keds, and a Justin Bieber t-shirt. THAT kind of stunned.

I had a friend more or less do that costume, but he kept the buttons open all the time. It was actually really great!!

What is everyone dressing as for Halloween, if you are dressing up? I'm not 100% sure yet, as I don't even have any plans, but I think I will be going as Kim Possible. I have the hair color for it!

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

Imagine people's reaction if Jilli were to wear jeans, white Keds, and a Justin Bieber t-shirt.

I am trying to eat here, Tep, not be stunned into a coma.

Oooh, I am eating. I had an eggplant that I should have cooked up a few days ago but didn't and so I cubed the best parts and roasted them with garlic and olive oil until cooked and then turned the heat up and caramelized them a bit. On top of lemon pepper paparadelle. It's yummy bliss.

I'm going to Amyth's Being Human party, so I'll be a vampire, ghost, or werewolf. I haven't decided which to go with. I'm thinking wearing gray and carrying a mug of tea about will get it done.

Probably a witch, just because I already have the parts of the costume, and the party is this coming weekend and I'm disinclined to go shop for a different costume.
