When I’m stressed (which is around now due to school) I take at least one shower a day, and a bath. It helps me process my feelings and thoughts. I do have a messed up gut microbiome but that’s due to too many antibiotics. My skin is great. When I had a nice tub I used to take two baths a day. I’m so glad I don’t live…

Haha...ohhhh. It is of COURSE psychology. Studying psychology triggers all kinds of metacognitive processes that I wouldn’t wish on anyone. If I get through this, it’s going to be so tempting to start taking everything at face value forever more.

Thank you so much for the encouragement. It will be amazing to be on the other side, regardless of the outcome. I will report back on how it went. Worst case scenario is I have too many revisions to do prelims this year and have to wait another. Ughhh that would be shitty but nothing is the end of the world.

Thank you:) Fear IS the mind-killer, I’m going to just picture Kyle MacLachlan whenever I feel stressed. This is gonna work!

I am just sitting here avoiding looking at my thesis defense slides, not studying for prelims (which I will have to take just a few days after the defense—assuming I pass it) and I’m feeling unmotivated. It comes and goes, actually, the motivation. Sometimes I’m like yeah, I got this! But then I’m like oh god no I…

I want to not only force her to issue those licenses but also force her to cut her hair. Both would make me so, so happy and her so, so furious.

Why are you in self-imposed exile? Thank you for coming back. You make my favorite comments and have my favorite user name.

And those brows remain the most shocking thing in this Dirtbag to me.

Scrolled, down, no time, had to immediately comment about Snooki’s husband’s eyebrows. Holy moly. I will go back and read the rest of the article now.

Thank you for that insight, very interesting. Sad :( Definitely feel bad for Jennifer Garner, she seems so nice, I’m sure she did her best. And how nice of her to keep going places in public with him to try to help his image and keep him around their kids. He must be in really bad shape, I imagine she’s afraid of him…

Good choice. I gave someone this lecture today. Physical blocks will clog. Avobenzone is SAFE. And great. The chemical blocks are lighter and you will actually be happy putting them on your face daily, which is what you should be doing. No one wants to put thick SPF on every day.

I think I read the first page of The Corrections only. I remember just thinking ugh I can’t stand this man. I know that sounds crazy, that isn’t much time to judge, but that’s what happened.

I get so bothered when I see quotes by them, but I see the Times quoting them constantly. What?? It’s so strange. They are so obviously not legit. And anyway, who needs them? The work against formaldehyde is already getting done, EWG is just all about self-promoting. Why do they keep getting quoted???

All we know for sure is that it was definitely better than Angie’s heinous gown. I know I know, there were kid drawings, ugh. Ugh.

Yep. Mustache. The TLC child pornographer guy was a neighbor of mine, had a mustache.

I think the Ouzoo woman IS pregnant because in the photo and your drawing the pink box, I bet that symbolizes GIRL BABY! It was a bottle of fake champagne and they drank it for an hour and then she puked while he held back her newly highlighted for the paparrazzi hair. It was super romantic.

Decriminalizing prostitution would be a huge step forward for women’s rights. I hate the knee-jerk reaction people have to the idea. Celebrities especially. Relatedly, are they going to make another Team America I wonder?

I’ve always loved my husband but our marriage didn’t get good until recently, when we started communicating a lot better. I learned some passive aggressive crazy shit from my parents, and he learned a lot of irresponsibility and denial from his. So, now we’re both seeing therapists and I’m just SO MUCH HAPPIER. When…

I have been wondering the same thing. The eyeshadow is always just going up into her brow, so dark, no contrast, no under-brow highlight. I don’t get it. But then I think maybe the style is just changing and I’m getting old, should I update my taste? Who am I to argue with a 23 year old? :(

No I get you. I get sad when I say “Oh, oh, you remember that time on The Office when...” and the person is like, “No.” No?? Well then I can’t explain my point effectively. :(
