(Reminds me of archery class, when I caught my tit in the string. I yelled MOTHERFUCKER into my 10th grade gym class, and my female gym teacher came over to give me hell for cursing.

I was going to relay almost the same story! Only mine was in '72! The cures of the well-endowed!

I just went into the bathroom to take off the vamp red I'd tried on, except somehow I ended up putting on clear lip gloss over it. So I'm lounging in bedclothes and sex lips.

Sadly most of my lipstick is probably too old to be exchanged. My god, that Toast Of New York has been with me forEVER. So I'm binning it.

Someone (in reference to Fringe) referred to a guy as a woman's "love of her life". And I called that out as very sentimental for a sci fi board on the internet. And then someone else, another guy, chipped in to say isn't "happily ever after" the same thing as "one and only" and "love of their life" and it made me feel vicariously sad.

We must not feel there is only one person out there for us! It's not realistic or healthy! There are an undetermined number of people out there for us, and it also doesn't take happily forever and ever to be happy. You can have five years of happy with one person, and then five more with another.

Aww, ita ! You're so free thinking.

I looked at all the couples returning from Saturday night activities and wondered what was wrong with me that I don't have that.

Humph. My umfriend was here last night, and I still got nothin. (ok I got some kisses). She had run a 15k race that morning before flying out here, omg. And then her BFF came over and we decided to keep her awake to get her on west coast time. She was grumpy. And then this morning we went to brunch and then they drove to Portland. (she's coming back here Thursday)

Speaking of nail polish, has anyone ever ordered from the website yourbeautystop? Because they (claim to) have OPI for $5.99. [link]

ack, smonster!

I JUST purged some lippies that weren't working. I would be up for a makeup box, though -- used three times shadows that didn't work on me, a serum that didn't suit, etc.

I am currently in possession of the Nail Polish Box, and want to send it to the next person on the next paycheck....but, um, I deleted accidentally the names and addresses list.

If someone can send it to my e-mail, the next person on the list will have it for Holiday Nail Madness! The rule is take a few, add a few, right?

My sister also bit the bullet, and was like Kat Von D ICK...but the line is great. She got a shadow palette that's GREAT.

How do you sterilize lipsticks?

Spray or wipe it gently with alcohol. Scrape off the first layer.

Eyeliners are good to trade, too. It'f they're wood, you just grind it down a couple of notches, run alcohol swab over the rest and soak lid in alcohol for a bit.

Powder blushes and shadows, wipe the top gently with alcohol, scrape top layer off gently with razor blade.

Mascaras, gel liner pots, liquid eyeliners, I wouldn't trade, though. Foundation, as long as it wasn't old, would be fine. Loose power sans brush or puff, OK.

x-posty Natter/Bitches because it’s too cool not to share

In small world news, I just experienced a rare and cool overlap between my Buffista life and my school life. My students create their own vocab books based on unfamiliar words they encounter in their normal lives (literature from my class, historical documents, or just chance encounters with new words outside of school). I make them identify the part of speech, define the word, and then quote and cite the original sentence where they found the word before writing a new sentence to show they can use it themselves. One of my seniors dutifully cited the source for all 20 of her new words...a fanfic FAY wrote for JILLI!!!!! I about fell off the couch when I saw “FayJay” cited at the end. I now have 20 sentences from Fay’s story peeping cheerfully out from my student's list, and I’m tickled pink. Seriously, how cool is that? And no, I didn’t point her that way--I’ve never even mentioned that I have friends who write fanfic. SO RANDOM AND COOL.

SO RANDOM AND COOL.

Absolutely. You have to tell Fay!

So my brother just broke up with his gf (thank GOD). He just called me crying. Oh, the family smonster, we struggle in love so much. I hate hearing my brother cry. I'm so glad he did it, though. He never loved her, he just kept trying to convince himself that he did.

I'm with ita !, I don't believe in soul mates or one and onlys. It just strikes me as too improbable--there's 7 billion people on earth and you really think you'll just randomly connect with the one and only person you're meant to be with?

I'm sorry that you and your brother are both broken hearted right now, smonster.
