IM conversation Her: I got a bag of mandarin oranges while I was out, help yourself. Me: Oh thanks, I'm super full from lunch though :) (five minutes later) Her: I also have Halloween candy Me: .... Me: That ... is a different situation entirely. And I quickly stride over to her office to find several Target bags full of candy. Oh my favoritest person in the world! Mmm, Skittles for Stargirl. Do you know how long it's been since I've had candy? ANY CANDY? A long time. Mmmm... 

"This freaking thing keeps messing up..." I mutter, toying with my phone. My sister is driving, I am riding shotgun, and my mother is in the backseat. If there two other adults in the car, she always relegates herself to the back seat. "Mom! Mary said the F-word," my sister calls, trying in vain to get a rise out of our mother. Mom makes a non-committal grunt. "I said freaking. Don't be dumb." I actually make quite the effort not to curse around my family. "Curse words" spill out of my mouth when I'm at home or around friends, but around my family I try not to curse. I try really really hard not to say goddammit. "Your face is dumb," she retorts. Our most beloved comeback, made doubly funny by our near-identical faces. I return my attention to my phone. It has trouble picking up wi-fi signals in certain areas. It currently shows a wi-fi connection, three bars! But I am unable to connect to FourSquare. How will I collect m...

KSwiss attempted to cook dinner. Cook = toss one of those Bird's Eye bagged meals into a pot and heat it up. I always make extra rice with these things and so he decided to make some. One cup of rice, I said. One and a half cups of water. Medium high. One cup of rice, he poured into the saucepan. HALF a cup of water. So now my kitchen smells like burning. The Bird's Eye Teriyaki something-or-other turned out okay though. That one comes with instructions printed right on the bag.

I had trouble getting out of bed this morning. Not the kind of trouble I’m used to – that would be the brain crippling wanting to melt into blackness trouble – but rather the I’m so cozy I never want to leave my cocoon trouble . (Side note: Happily, the brain crippling trouble hasn't been spotted in months! I blame my new job. Thanks jerb. You make waking up not suck.) So. Late start. Then we discovered that one of the cats pissed in the tub. And I couldn’t find my makeup bag and .FUCK FUCK FUCK I think I left it when I went out with friends on Friday (beat) God oh my god oh my god my Makeup Forever Aqua Eyes (small and expensive but perfect cream shadow), Glam-o-flauge concealer (my Holy grail cannot live without concealer) and my Skin 27 BB Cream (brand new, must be ordered on Amazon) were in that fucking bag. Oh jesus. FUCK. My hair looks like shit. My bangs are angry at me and I feel like I look like a man. Three GIANT zits on my chin. Enormous. Like,...

Reddit had a thread about quotes that you find yourself using over and over. I selected some that I like. Spoke to me. Some of these are well known, some of them I hadn't heard before.  Yesterday is yesterday. If we try to recapture it, we will only lose tomorrow -Bill Clinton  Good fiction disturbs the comfortable and comforts the disturbed." -- David Foster Wallace  Yeah, well, that's just, like, your opinion, man. - The Dude  What we do in life echoes in eternity Be kind, for everyone you meet is fighting a hard battle. - Plato  You can't always get what you want. But, if you try sometime, you find you get what you need. - Rolling Stones  He who fights with monsters might take care lest he thereby become a monster. And if you gaze for long into an abyss, the abyss gazes also into you. - Mark Twain  Don't take life too seriously, you'll never get out alive. - Van Wilder.  Keep on keepin on War is not about who is right, but who ...

Wednesday  night! I had to go shopping which meant an outfit change Slouchy Sweater: TJ Maxx Ponte Skinny Pants: Miley and Max Over The Knee Boots: Charlotte Russe I love that this sweater covers up my butt.

Pretty much digging today's outfit. Gray cardigan with shoulder studs (TJ Maxx) Rodarte for Target navy lace top (Target) -Purple tank underneath (XXI) Black skinny trousers (TJ Maxx) The Boots (they are a proper noun now) Google "Auto-awesomed" this photo  Not exactly and outfit photo, but I took this yesterday. I didn't go anywhere, since it was a telecommuting day, but after I got done with my work I hopped on my rower.  OH YEAH I BOUGHT A ROWER YOU GUYS. Happy birthday to me! That is my set up. Rower , Tablet with either movie or music vid playlist, and... um.. cat. Cat is not usually there when I'm working out. My favorite thing about working out from home is that I can wear this. I would not feel comfortable going to the gym in this outfit, though I know some women are. I started out wearing a tee, but when I got hot I just took it off because, fuck it, I'm at home. On days that I work out, I feel like shit if I...

I know I know, so you're all like, Hey Stargirl, where are the outfit posts?

In honor of Allie Brosh's ama , I wanted to link to her post that was most influential to me: Depression Part Two .  It is extremely challenging to communicate what you're going through to people who have never been depressed. When I read this post I cried so hard because it expressed everything. Someone got it.  She wasn't trying to help me find my dead fish or telling me about all the awesome fish that are out there (read the blog post to get that) she was saying, hey, my fish are dead, too. It sucks. I know.  She understood the desire to stop existing and how it doesn't necessarily mean you're going to kill yourself. And how you can NEVER tell anyone about how you feel because then you'll just have to take care of them.  Anyway, I never got to the part about the corn (read the post!). I'm mostly content or happy these days, with only the very occasional melancholic or numb days. But I'm past coping and onto living again and that is beyond maj...

I haven't blogged in a while so here we go. This week I trimmed my hair and my bangs. This is what my bangs look like now . This is what they looked like prior to now , just kinda flopping around purposelessly. It's quite layered. I never thought I could layer my long hair but it's loverly. This is what I look like now.  Hair is unstyled. It was styled yesterday. This morning I just brushed it. The bangs would lie nicer if I'd used a flat iron. I am also trying to wear lipstick or gloss more often. This is a Revlon Super Lustrous Lipstick in Pinkerbell and it's an awesome blue-toned pink. I love this formula. Topped with Beauty Rush gloss in Ice Tease. I've decided that squeeze tube lip glosses with plastic applicators are my favorite. It's much easier to wipe transferred lipstick off the slanted applicator than it is to wipe it off of a doefoot. My makeup has been on for 6 hours, the photo includes no touch ups! I've been wearing fou...
