Does anyone else think this might be because we have natural "set points?" I always manage to stay in +/- 5 pounds around a certain weight.

@VioletDiaz: I like her, too. She writes intelligent songs.

@Peppermint: Ooh, me! That's the only kind of scent I wear anymore.

@queencatriona: You have my sympathy, as well as <3s for saying "jeezy creezy."

Well, I remember Mel Gibson accurately, and he didn't say that. That Polonius guy did.

I went to my first concert alone. I wanted to go see Radiohead, but I didn't have any friends who liked them. But I said, "Fuck it! This is important!" and bought a ticket.

@BeetsGoOn: Blueberry pie made from scratch, with fresh blueberries, is amazing. I didn't think I liked it either until I made it myself.

@Adah: I used to have the same problem. I'm very pale and pink, but now I'm using the palest shade of the Body Shop's oil-free balancing foundation, and it seems to be a pretty good match. Might be worth a shot!

@boobalore: Good to know! The salesgirl I talked to said they didn't have them, but it's nice to know that it should theoretically be an option.
