It's not shallow, it's organizing your wardrobe in the 21st Century.
Could just be a hoax, though. I fake some headaches, everyone gets used to poor helpless Spike. Then one day, no warning, I snap a spine, bend a head back, drain 'em dry. Brilliant.

Spike's Bitches 47: Someone Dangerous Could Get In
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Is the question whether it's shallow to not want to repeat outfits, or merely the method?
Um, both, I think.

Ha! Okay, I guess there's that.

Is the question whether it's shallow to not want to repeat outfits, or merely the method? I don't think it's shallow to not want to repeat outfits - I make an effort not to, and my outfits are substantially less likely to stick in others' brains than yours are. I have no opinion on the method - whatever works for you, I think.
A guy I work with was bitching at me yesterday that he came in for a meeting on his work from home day that was subsequently cancelled, and now he had to take the shirt he was wearing out of the rotation.

So I'm thinking about taking the GRE
As a prelude to grad school? If so, in what area?

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
I agree with brenda that parasailing is a calm happy thing. But pricey.
Foundation settling into pores needs primer! I am a total convert to makeup primer.

Which primer? I use the Monistat not-really-primer stuff.

Whiich primer do you use, Jilli?
I swear by Smashbox, but I use the regular one. I think they have an oil-free one. And Origins used to make a great mattifying product...lemme see, do they still make it?
Yes, it's called Zero Oil and it's $13.50: [link]

I use either the MAC Prep & Prime (which has the bonus of being SPF 50), or Make Up Forever's primer. Smashbox doesn't work for me.
What pisses me off is I at one point had the perfect combination of sunblock and primer. But I think the abx are making my skin freak out and exacerbating my random primer issues.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
Man, I just had an amazing conversation with my bro. We've never actually had a substantial conversation, really, about how much our childhoods fucked us up. But he called me tonight, having a meltdown because his job is sucking and his wife is out of town for work yet again (being a coffee buyer means you spend a lot of time in the countries where it's grown) and he can't sleep and his friends keep dying.
Which is a lot of shit to deal with. And I just listened sympathetically and occasionally offered up an opinion...and then somehow he segued into how fucked up he is, and how if he and his wife are going to have kids (!) (really, !!!, but also YAY!), he needs to really sort his shit out first. And I told him that if I could do it, he can do it. And then we just talked about our own brand of fucked-upped-ness for about an hour, and at the end, he said, "I really needed to have this conversation. You actually share my crazy."
"Yeah," I said. "And you can deal with your crazy. It won't go away, but it also won't win. Most days. And really, 'most days' is a pretty good deal."
Seriously, it was kind of an amazing conversation. I hope it helped him.
