I think this is quite brilliant as a working definition - not perfect; there are, after all, homophobic women as well; but damn good and thought-provoking:

Cheers to everyone who gave an opinion on my hair! It was actually very helpful, not in determining a precise style so much as providing info that helped me pick a direction. I got it cut yesterday and asked Jack to take a pic for me. It's sort of a little bit pixie but not so short, a little bit messy, and lots of face-framing layers.

Could someone please explain to said inner child why dyeing my hair purple is just Not An Option at this precise moment in time ( Read more... )

Work is nuts, to be blunt. I'm trying to learn SO many different things all at the same time, whilst short-handed of course because what used to be my position is still an empty seat, and we had a great big wrench thrown in our plans to fill it today, so I don't know what the hell is going on there. I ended up spending big chunks of time on that ( Read more... )

"Comet hits rural Canada." Quite possibly the strangest spam-mail title I've ever had. That's a bit mean, that is ( Read more... )

This song, Madonna's Crazy for You and Duran Duran's Save a Prayer (and that whole DD album, to a lesser extent, especially Rio and Girls on Film) remind me of my first love. Which, actually, as musical clues go... lol. Dysfunctional much? *g* But he's been on my mind lately, mainly because he had hair like Derek Hough's. *dies laughing* So I get ( Read more... )

To the Canadians and more northerly Americans, that would mean that the roads are being sanded. :D I'm kind of amused that this is apparently worth announcing on status signs along the motorway. My experience tends to be more on the, "Hey, it's icy. Where the hell are the salt trucks?" side ( Read more... )

*kisses* to beelzezuk and nene for the Yorkshire Hard Water Tea rec. I like it. It's very damn close, enough so that it's not jarring at me for not being Red Rose. I also quite like that it's from the same area as my dad. :D ( Read more... )

7 a.m. - 7 p.m. is a very large potential delivery window. Not that I really expected the post to get here at the beginning (or at the end, please!), but they tried to deliver already on Tuesday and at this point, I just want my damn package. Person-specific deliveries are clearly going to be a problem living here: the buzzer is for the whole floor ( Read more... )

Changed my layout for the first time in forever. I was getting tired of the black background and wanted some colour. It's a bit pinker than I'd like with the background image I used, which also doesn't blend that well so far as repeating goes, but it'll do for the moment. Someday I will either learn enough CSS to customise a layout myself (since ( Read more... )
