once I was old enough to be trusted handling money, I was often sent in to buy my mom cigarettes. And I spent my childhood hanging out in bars with my family. I didn't drink alcohol because I didn't like it, but had I wanted to, it would have probably gone largely unnoticed. But one of the highlights of my preteen…

That's a good plan. My ex let me know he had been cheating on me for a year at the same time he told me he wanted a divorce. I kept the heirloom. Fuck all of them. But I can happily offer it to my son when his time comes, if it does.

Yeah, pretty much Ianto. He wasn't the sole reason I watched or anything, but his death ended the show for me. :(

I used to have to bake without eggs, milk, wheat, and soy. My cupcakes (no full cake—not enough structure to support it) were delicious and popular even among people with normal taste. :D You figure the chemistry out, and you can do anything.

Man, I had brunche yesterday and today. :P to that guy. Of course, I did it in my own house, with no liquor, so I don't know if that changes things. They were quite good, too. Yesterday I had hash browns, fried apples and bacon. Today I had peach pancakes. I intended to eat leftover bacon, but the pancakes were…

I developed a sensitivity to pretty much all mainstream hair care products. I use lye and vegetable oil bar soap from my local health food store now, along with a little watered down lotion for my scalp. My hair has never been softer, and it styles just fine. And I'm not all itchy all the time anymore, which is…

In the 1980/90's, I was 5'8" and weighed around 128 lbs. That, by today's standards, is pretty skinny. My legs cant toward each other, and made corduroy pants make noise, so I thought I was fat. There's no escape from feeling fat, I think.

I thought Pride and Prejudice and Zombies sounded excellent, so I got it and started reading it. It was like the most amazing, gorgeous prose, randomly interrupted by something some dork who barely passed 10th grade English scribbled in his library book. I hadn't actually read Pride and Prejudice, but I was loving…

you are forgetting that all those internet trolls exist in real life. The only difference between the internet trolls and the people you are meeting face to face is the medium. People are less likely to be outright vicious irl than online, but the people you meet irl go online, and the people online go out in the…

Food for thought: in college, my boobs started giving me massive pms pain every month to the point that I went to see a doctor about it. They diagnosed me with fibrocystic disease, which is what it sounds like: fibrous cysts in your breast tissue. Caffeine can make them swell painfully. They recommended I cut out…

He didn't do a job that anyone agreed to pay him for in advance, but he did do work. He created something new and original that someone else is going to use for profit. He deserves to be paid for his creative output.

I didn't say it makes sense. But that was the plan. *shrug*

I don't have first hand experience—this pic was from Wikipedia. But I do have experience with European borders. We went on the Rhone, from Switzerland, without our passports. We accidentally got out in Germany, but one member of our party went and got the car, from Switzerland, picked us up and we just stopped and…

phase three is most of New York dies, so the foot clan can take political power, and sacks will have the financial power to supply them what they need to maintain it.

is that a thing? I didn't know. I'm medicated, too, and itms new for me. There have been a few days where by the end of the day, I was wondering if the meds were still working at all. I was hoping this would be a temporary medication...I wonder if the fact that I have goose days means I won't be getting off it too…

pretty sure not. Border between Netherlands and Belgium in Baarle-Nassau:

I've flown internationally multiple times, and I didn't know. Or I didn't remember. It has been a while, and I have never even had that much money, so if I did read it, it would have gone in one eye and out the other, because who cares?

this is very hard for me. I generally agree we need more diversity, but I *adore* James, and might actually watch a show with him. I don't usually bother with late night tv.

I went to visit my bf at work one day, or pick him up for lunch...itms been a long time, so I don't remember why I was there. He was in the phone at a different desk than his own, so while I waited, i sat down at his desk to play minesweeper (I said it was a long time ago). His screen saver was on lock, so I asked…

why?
