I’m super pale with freckles and I’m loving benefit’s shy beam highlighter. It’s almost matt, so doesn’t cause the overly sparkly snow princess effect and it blends really well.

Ah sorry! Next year! ;) worth the travel, maybe!

Oooh! Were you at Beach Brawl?!

They’re sometimes ‘jogging bottoms’ in the UK, which I have always accepted as being perfectly normal, but now I think about it, sounds kind of odd.

Point taken, I’m sorry.

That’s unbelievable. I thought I might have been making stuff up, so I looked up the UK law - almost everyone, even part time workers, is entitled to a minimum of 5.6 weeks of paid leave (if you work 3 days a week, you get 5.6 weeks of 3 days pay, and so on).

Hang on, lucky enough to get paid vacation? You mean you don’t automatically get that either?!

I fell asleep in Insomnia.

And he’s dead. I googled and the first report of his death popped up 3 minutes ago. Weird.

I’ve been playing roller derby for 2 years now. 1000’s of photos and ONE good one. Admittedly it’s awesome, but still - that’s all I’ve got to show for the bruises, breaks and sprains?

I worked for a mobile phone network in a country outside the US. While I was still in school during 9/11, I ended up working with people who worked so hard and outside process to save voicemails that had been left for them by people who knew they probably weren't going to make it out alive and wanted to leave a…

I just can't wrap my brain around the fact that you have to have these plans. I have an abstract fear of guns, kind of like zombies. I don't think I could manage day-to-day life in a country where that fear is legitimate.

Alisa Craig? (Sp?!)

It’s actually an elephant. Called Welephant. Much as I hate to contradict Mitch!

I think they came to the UK first, and we already have a TJ Hughes store. TJ Maxx was too close, so I guess they just went one letter along in the alphabet!

Hey, 4’11 here! #notallshortgirls!

Baby me. My swimming costume looks er, absorbent? (Also, totally born with resting bitch face).

I got ghosted once, by someone who is been kind of casually seeing. I don’t know if I was expecting it, but I caught on pretty quick and just stopped trying.

Just promise that if half of your hair (shingles never crosses your midline, apparently) feels like it’s standing on end, GO TO THE DOCTOR.

Yep, I think it’s called Ramsey Hunt syndrome. Basically, the shingles virus but in your face or ear. I got it in my left ear and it damages the nerves. It’s not constant pain, but when it gets bad, it’s like having terrible toothache on top of terrible earache, all whilst your face is being electrocuted.
