Well, if you really don't want to go on pills, then I don't think that you have to, but if your doctor says so, then yes, you may have to do what they say.

Even though pills are not the things that you want to do, taking them is designed to help you, not hurt you.

Yes, seeing someone will definitely help.

I know it sounds crazy, but Rare Minerals is NOT like wearing normal makeup to bed!! It works wonders when I have the (albeit occasional) pimple, because it contains sulphur and tea tree - both of which you can smell faintly in the powder.

I encourage you to go ask for a sample the next time you hit up Sephora!! Aside from that, though, I loved this post!!

Oh :( The scars are the worst! My skin heals quickly but scars really easily - I'll have marks for about two years after some of them go away!! It's horrible x.x

^^ You *must* try their All Over Colour in Pink Lemonade sometime. I adore it - it tops the apples of my cheeks at least twice a week. Perfect for a glow-y, rosy base, and usually topped with Lancome Blush Subtil in Rose Fresque (the match was made in heaven!)

Can't wait for the review!

Gorgeous!! I picked up a deep red MAC tinted lip conditioner last week - glossy with just enough pigment. If I still love red lips by the end of the week, I might have to look at Queen's Sin, as it looks so amazing on you!

Thanks for the tip-off! CAROLINE is 50% off the whole order to a maz of $20 iirc.

If you do make an order, you *must* try the All Over Colour Stick - I have it in Pink Lemonade and it's one of my favourite cream hilighters. Normal pigmentation and stay, non-sticky, but it's packed with shimmer and looks awkward if piled on :P

Omg most women(and im not zoning in on any one race) wear weaves for thousands of different reasons! Here think outside the box: jus becuz there hair is already long doesn't mean it's useless to get a weave, for example maybe they work out everyday and they're press sweats out, no one especially a black woman in their right mind would restraighten it EVERY DAY! That's wayy too much heat and will quickly damage your own hair. Now if they worked out with a weave who cares? The weave will dry straight after being drenched with sweat. There's no one reason for getting a weave. It's nice to give your hair a break for awhile so what? No one should be judged jus because they were born with long straight hair and want curly short hair or curly long hair for a couple months, they should do and get whatever they want!! Please stop judging bcuz you just sound rude and unthoughtful. [all black women aren't lil kim, Duh]

Re: Dear Mr. Governor…

Higher Education Gov. Ritter, you campaigned, and won, very much on the need to improve education in this state. I've seen some results in the areas of K-12, but as a constitutionally protected cost area, I feel that the state's time is better spent focusing now on higher education. Many of our brightest students are being priced out of state universities because of sky-rocketing tuition costs. I'd like to hear actual plans, not just rhetoric, on what your administration plans to do about the state of higher education in Colorado.

The Olympics is a sick endeavor, born of a world with too much time, too much money, and not enough empathy. Canada won [only] 12 medals, and Canada's IOC rep said Canadians should all feel great shame about it. The US won the most medals, and one American news station that reported on it in the next breath described how more Americans than ever are living in poverty. That's stupidity at it's finest.

I have been thinking about writing our IOC rep a letter to ask the question: what brings more shame, a small number of medals, or 10 000 more people living in poverty? I am gawddamn proud that my government is thinking with me on this one, and not with Mr.Pound.

*I* need a holiday! I am just about finished with a paper that was a year in the making, and I am beaten.

Despite what everyone says, Canada is ass. Sure, most people are polite, but it costs me $1000CND and an entire day of travel to go home, and I don't even get to leave the goddamn country! Oh, but the change in climate is worth it - I get to go from miserably cold and rainy to fucking freezing with 8 feet of snow crawling up my ass. I a super-happy to be Canadian, but I have no idea why people live here.

I wish the Med was my backyard...I am definitely applying my ass off for positions in Europe when I finally finish school.

Reading that post made me feel the way I always feel when I listen to "Such Great Heights" by the Postal Service. I love that song. It makes me feel retardedly optomistic and really sad all at once - just like your post.

And "taking the piss". What is THAT about? I wish I was English - I want to say things that make no sense, but seem like they do. England is like an entire country with Wernicke's aphasia - & I mean that in the most affectionate way possible. :D

I sort of like getting colds - it's the only time I feel like I can truly enjoy time off, without guilt. When I am sick, I have to sit on the couch and watch TV all day, or sleep in on a Tuesday, or eat for lunch.

*Bah*. I wasn’t going to write about this in my blog, but it seems like there is no escape these days, so I am going to use yours as a forum for my maddness, Deek. I hope you don't mind.

Any of my friends could tell you that I am obviously preoccupied by the subject of love right now – ‘tis the season. This nonsense in inescapable. But that’s not where my problem lies. I *am* frustrated with love and romance – it seems cupid has forsaken me – but that is only the cause of my current problem.

Currently, I am indulging some very questionable feelings that are *probably* a result of my frustration. I won’t dismiss the possibility that they are genuine, because I am trying to be honest with myself. But they haven’t popped up before, which leads me to believe they are false tidings of love.

Anyway, what am I talking about? Well, I have this friend. Oh gawd, there it is. A friend.

He’s wonderful. I’ve always thought so. If he didn’t know I adored him, he should. About 3 weeks ago, I could have told him myself without hesitation. I can’t do that now, because *now* he’s single. And I have had some thoughts…

Ow! It’s difficult to face my own weakness! But it wasn’t always this way. I’m pretty honest with myself, and I can honestly say that being friends with him was never about waiting for him to become single! (I will admit that Matty G. in Uni started out that way, but I silently acknowledged that all along.) Friends with Nick was always just friends with Nick. I got along fabulously with him, and that was it. Others have noticed our rapport, and I think it is the others that have planted the seed in my head. “You get along so well, why don’t you get together?”. Because. I have no good excuse. Just because it didn’t start that way.

If you must know, he is my close friend’s ex-boyf, but she knows we hang out, and has even given me implicit permission, damn her. In fact, *she’s* one of the others! It’s really just pressure from all sides, and now that he’s single, I am feeling really confused. And I always watched Dawnson’s Creek with a pillow handy to throw at the TV whenever Pacey, or Joey, or one of the drones started droning on about being confused. I have never been confused before! Either I liked him, and I didn’t want to admit it, or I didn’t, and I didn’t know how to break his heart.

But I am genuinely confused here, Deek. What I need is some anti-support. Cautionary tales of misery and heartbreak that come with falling in love with a friend. The “When Harry Met Sally Syndrome”. That NEVER works out. There is no such animal in real life, and I would like to save myself some pain and heartache by avoiding the confusion I am now feeling. I don’t want any votes of confidence or misplaced shows of support. I want to kill this thing – nip it in the bud and all that…. I feel like if I keep saying it, and others join in, I might escape this thing. I will NOT fall in love with a friend.

To me it's a health isse, nothing else. The goverment steps in to insure we have clean air and work in places without hazardous substances such as asbestos, and I see second hand smoke as the same sort of problem. I think it's high time we joined the more progressive rest of the country on this important issue. Let's lead the Mid-West.
