Fellow redhead. :) I was bullied all through school (elementary, junior high, and high school). I dyed my hair blonde for years!

I'm sorry that you still have to have contact with him. :( I hope the move goes well for you!

OH MY GOD THIS IS MY BIGGEST PET PEEVE.

(I have anything aside from "why" marked as unacceptable on that question, and it is a mandatory question for me.)

My mom always - and I mean ALWAYS forgets to remove the price tags. She's just so busy that when she does have time to wrap the gifts, she's in a hurry to get them wrapped and just forgets...

Everytime we open any gift, she's like "oh crap, hang on! let me remove this price tag I NOW see I forgot to remove."

One year my grandmother got me and my two sisters all ponchos, because they were "coming back in style!"

NGL - I used to do drunk makeupping every Friday night. :) Such a blast. I keep meaning to get back into it...

I totally commiserate with you on the sibling gift issues. :( One of my sisters (I have 2) is great, and the other... hardly any thought at all.

I got socks with cats on them in my stocking. :)

Technically he gets the ginger from both sides. :) Both Diana and Charles had to have the MC1R gene for him to be a redhead!

25 as well - and pretty much the same story. I took whatever inconsistent part-time work was thrown my way for the 8+ months after graduation (in between bouts of unemployment).

Hey a measurement twin! Although I've about 2 inches shorter.

I used to use "curvy" as a descriptor as well, but the definition really has shifted so I'm in the same boat - I never know how to describe myself anymore! (Usually I just say petite with an hourglass figure, at this point.)

It's all about proportion and bone structure. In college, an acquaintance of mine was skinny - really skinny. She was about 5'10 and weighed about 130 lbs. When she told me she wore a size 10 in jeans, I was really surprised (I had pegged her at size 6-8) - she explained it was because of her hips.

Recently I switched to Butter London's polishes - I'd say it's a step up from OPI and Essie (both of which I love and have many of their polishes). Butter London's top coat is divine!
