Yeah, I totally see where you're coming from. If I've committed to doing something that I can no longer see a logical reason for, I either go along with it and feel resentful, or bail out, let friends down and feel guilty.

I think I'm partially an obliger, and partially a questioner. But in general I have a tendency towards not feeling motivated, and will let people down after I've made a commitment. That's probably the worst of all worlds.

Yup, it's a fine line. I always loved art as a hobby, but when I took it as a subject at school and started being assessed on it, I spent months feeling anxious that my project wasn't good enough.

For the record, at the beginning I thought you had posted the lyrics to Nothing Compares to You, and I started singing those lyrics to the tune of Nothing Compares in my head.

I wish I could have all of Zooey Deschanel's dresses in New Girl. My wardrobe would be sorted for life.

I just bought two Laura Ashley dresses. I'm wearing one of them now. I am not ashamed to admit that.

In the UK at least, the agencies make things much tougher. Renting directly from the landlord is few and far between, but when you find it they're a lot cheaper. Estate agencies here charge about £200 just for moving in-admin, and most of the time we've had battles with them when attempting to get all of our security…

Me too! It's definitely conditioning. The only thing that might be helpful is trying to remember that the ones that dumped me in the past now just make up an insignificant part of my life.

Aloe Vera?

I used to feel that way at the beginning of relationships too! The only thing that made it go away was just the relationship continuing and us getting to different milestones like saying I love you, going out for a year, moving in together. I became less insecure with time. But I'm sure there's a more effective way of…

True story about James Van Der Beek: My friend went on a hike up a mountain, and James Van Der Beek was at the top of it with his girlfriend. He asked my friend if he could take a picture of him with his girlfriend.

Yeah I find it so hard to find sales people who are interested! I went into a Sephora last year when I was visiting the SF, which was a novelty for me, and I had allocated money to spend. The Sephora makeup people weren't interested in helping advise me what would suit my skin tone.

She sounds like a one-of-a-kind makeup lady. The few times I've had my makeup done or gone for advice (although admittedly not to clinique people), I've been negged by them and told how bad my skin is and how many products it needs. And when I got my makeup done, I snuck off to wipe off some of it because it was just…

Bad bad bad decision.

I had no idea. I have been receiving such comparatively bad care on the NHS. Last time I saw a dermatologist, she made a point of saying that I had picked on one of my cysts (without asking me whether I had, it was a cyst that lasted 7 months), and saying it's now scarred. She refused to look at it properly because I…

Well, it makes complete sense to me. I have noticed that my female cat catches as many mice as she can, kills them and then sets up a little stand on the side of the road with the sign "myce $5 eech". She's quite entrepreneurial really.

What?! You can get cortisone shots on the NHS? I assumed they didn't offer them. Is this your gp or dermatologist?

Is Prid that black tar stuff? I bought some of that recently and tried it on my scar (which I thought was a cyst at the time), so it didn't do much apart from make my pillowcase stained! I think I'll try it with a spot I have on my chin this evening though.

Cystic acne is the worst worst worst! Are you on the combined pill? That's supposed to help (I'm on it, but still get cystic acne though...). I've been put on antibiotics which kind of helps but I'm still getting acne that's in between cystic and surface acne. You sound like you haven't tried to pop which is good, I…

I replied to vero_jacobi above, so have a look at my answer!
