I am currently madly in love with their products, having seen them in shops in Vienna and fallen desperately, unfairly, unstoppably in lust with the smoothness of their pages and the textured, magnetized covers.

I went shopping with Numa the other day. What I bought was this, in Noir (fourth from the top of the ( Read more... )

According to my mother, I don't tan the same way that real Sri Lankans, who grew up in Sri Lanka, do. When it's summer and my skin starts to darken, it goes reddish-brown-golden.

I did it for Savior over here if you want an example of how it goes.

Forgive the pun but I think that I'm still high on the shock of having got my ears pierced again. XD My parents got them pierced once when I was a baby, and then for the last seven years or now, I've been wanting to get at least another hole in my left ear but since I'm such an utter coward about needles and pain, I never actually managed to make ( Read more... )

Matt (daemonsadvocate) and I are officially together.

I'm probably going to be babbling about relationship stuff (along with a full explanation of how/what/when/where/why/WHO) in the future, so if you're interested in hearing that stuff, drop me a comment specifically saying you want to be on my r-life aka romance life filter. ♥
