I've been using the Clarisonic Plus for almost a year now and I can't disagree that there is a visible improvement. The blemishes now aren't as bad as before and the intensive scarring I had before is reduced. Give another few months and I'll probably be as smooth and unblemished as I was a few years ago. I have been falling behind with my skincare ( Read more... )

Since I've banned myself from the journal I write on my computer, LJ is my last resort because I know it's like pulling teeth sometimes to get me to post here about personal things but I started this LJ for therapy so I should continue what I started since it helped before. I seem to feel better this weekend. I did my weekly quiz ahead of time. I'm ( Read more... )

The first friend I could remember being on LJ was someone I knew growing up in junior high and high school. My sense of time has been wonky in the last few years so I struggle to make myself remember that it was at least ten years ago when I still keep referring to it as as a few (like less than four or five). Fandoms have moved onto Tumblr and I ( Read more... )

I'm alone here, a wonderful reprieve from the winter holiday rush, when the oddest thought bit me. Fandom has taught me quite a bit. While I am superstitious, I am terrible at religion. I make it a policy trying not to piss off someone who could smite me with a thought but I'm also terrible at being thankful. I'm selfish. I'm working through it ( Read more... )

It's been a long, long time since I've done this but it's really overdue. My brain breeds up more plot bunnies that I can keep up with, much less develop and allow to grow. I have a little booklet of plots that I keep around for various fandoms. Some get used, some get recycled but most get ignored because I never gave the idea anymore structure ( Read more... )

I will be very honest with you all. The last couple books of Harry Dresden have been a bit...shall we say lacking. The writing is still good but I felt something missing since White Night. Reading Jim Butcher's books has always been akin to a roller coaster ride for me. It's a rush of excitement, humour, heart-warming and fear. Not your usual ( Read more... )

I will never forget that line. I blame the V for Vendetta movie. Other events that happened on this day that I still remember: a Stephanie Plum book was released and my one year relationship with a previous boyfriend. We started dating and broke up on the same day a year later. I think the only reason the relationship lasted as long as it did in ( Read more... )

When he had a horribly, wonderful idea. Because I just got one. It's a plot bunny. Another one has been born. It's that delicious feeling when your mind starts making connections and before you know it, it sounds amazing. There's a thrill through your veins at the idea of bringing it to life. All it takes is just one little push in the right ( Read more... )

There have been fandoms that I have resisted with success such as Bleach, Naruto, Glee, etc. simply because they didn't appeal to me. I figured My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic would be the same. I thought wrong. I haven't watched every show but of the ones I have, there are at least a couple capable of producing something wet in my eyes. Don't ( Read more... )

I can't believe it's June finally. There are only 20 more days before I leave The Rock and head back to the Prairies, of which I can't wait for. As much as Newfoundland has been slowly but surely growing on me, I'm an Alberta girl at heart. These last few days haven't been so bad for the wait as M came out here to visit me. Originally after a ( Read more... )
