I adore her voice. I adore her songs, and singing along to them. They give me the feels in the best way possible.

I think being honest about it is helpful. I am an angry crier, which I'm learning to accept. I'm also easily overwhelmed (recently figured out that I'm on the autism spectrum) - and I tend to cry when I get overwhelmed. So anything calming, soothing is good. Yoga definitely helps - but then, so does a hike, or even a…

Can't love this enough. Fantastic!

I am so, so sorry. That's not right. What a loss :(

I saw her on her 'Matters of the Heart' tour. It was moving, beautiful, one of those concerts where I was totally -in- the moment... so much so that I can't even remember much about it. I did buy an enormous concert shirt that was the coziest nightshirt for about 10 years.

Good for you! I'm still toward the beginning of my thesis adventure :p
I consider myself a decent writer, but a fantastic editor. My mom is a writer, and she helped me refine my 'editor's ear' at a young age. It's been a gift, I've been able to effortlessly help numerous friends throughout the years.

I use a lavender daily moisturizer from Avalon Organics in a cylindrical jar that soothes my rosacea, is cooling and smells nice! :)

Also, geeky-excited about a new screen-name I came up with at another site. Hey Arnold references ftw.

I think this belongs on the other thread. But good luck with that!

That's really neat! I admire her early works a lot. What a great way for your BIL to be memorialized.

Ache-y, blah, unmotivated Saturday for me. I finished the rough draft (or as we writers like to say, "shitty first draft", thank you Anne Lamott!) of one of the chapters for my thesis a few days ago. Usually, I love editing. Right now, I am unmotivated.
And also crampy. Ugh. TMI time: Being mildly anemic, I've been…

My body is really weird in lots of ways. One of them is that I have an extra rib, called a cervical rib, on one side. It's something that I didn't remember about myself, so I looked idiotic in front of my current nurse practitioner when she confirmed it with me... oops. It also means that my shoulders are always tight…

Preach!

I'm Californian, too. Thus the unabashed love !?! Maybe it's regional/artisanal?

It's freaking amazing. Enjoy.

Mmm. Sourdough toast. Cheezy sourdough, wheat, rye. Whatever. The sour, lightly toasted, and buttery are what matter.

This made me laugh.
I think I was slightly too old for TR. The animatronic thing just unsettled me.

Ah! You said it better than I could.

Neko Case has impeccable taste that I envy,

Absolutely - that's why they're so horrible. Thank g-d for the internet, because my mom and I used to be the only people I know who even had that weird inner ear symptom - people looked at me freaky when I'd be in agony trying to claw my ears off my head.
