I'm going to tell myself that even if she went in with dirty feet (which is pretty disrespectful to the tattoo artist), the artist cleaned the area properly before getting started...

Agreed. I saw those tattoos and thought, "Well, those will be smeary blobs in a year or so." Maybe she knows that, though, and thinks that's kind of cool, a comment on the passing nature of fame. Though that might be ascribing her more insight than is deserved :P

Haha, yes! "Yeah, anyone who gets this schmoopy isn't faking it." *stamps* Best of luck to you both—is there a date set yet, or is it still in the air?

Jean Claude has it all: rage, confusion, and fear. It makes me very sad that anyone could live like that and not only think it's okay, but endorse it for others.

But y'know, you all are a monolith! Kanye said it's ok! /so very sarcastic

Well, we're lucky in that we were able to get married without the government getting a say in it, and now he can live with me six months at a stretch before he has to go back to his home country, but the catch is that without the sponsorship paperwork, he can't legally work here, unless a potential employer is willing…

Yeah. I do. That was the hardest part of the wedding, my mom not being there. I made a little pouch for our rings though, using a piece of her wedding veil, so she was there in some small way for me. Little things like that help me a lot, I find.

Of all the things to have in common, huh? *tired smile*

My mom was very religious as well, and she felt it was a test of her faith too. She would have times where she would get angry or despondent, but somehow, she ended up accepting (better than us) her coming death with a grace that I just can't fathom having. Thankfully the people around her didn't get on her to have a…

PRETTY. I'd love to see it knee-length with slightly shorter sleeves.

I know the article isn't about "attitude is everything". I was commiserating with Rocza about the pressures cancer patients deal with.

It's been a bit different for us; we were able to get married prior to immigration paperwork, but we still have to have a boatload of documentation to serve as proof of the validity of our relationship for him to get resident status. We joked about putting our chatlogs into a Word document, but once we actually…

A fellow international couple! *high five* Documenting 'proof' feels so weird...

It's just like that whole "attitude is everything" sludge that gets thrown at cancer patients. So not only do they have to wonder and feel guilty about maybe having done something to set off the cancer, they have to feel bad and guilty if they didn't "mind over matter" the cancer away. *shakes head* Because it's not…

Here's a thought: Don't batter the fries. That'd help some right there, I would imagine...

I agree...a bit of a clash, you can get away with if they're in the same tonal family. All the same, I'm inclined to give her a pass because she looks so happy and that dress is so perfect for her ^_^

I think you're right—I looked at it on another monitor, and it looked more maroon than black there. On this monitor, it just looks like a muddy grey :P

Oh, god. Sadly, yes. It's like that dress had a grudge.

Yes! Exactly! With a T-strap black patent pump, it'd look great.

Ow, ow, ow. My sympathies. Is there a way to dispose of used wipes that won't risk clogging the sewer system?
