Wednesday, October 31, 2012 ( 9:52 PM ) shut up christine don't don't don't bite your friends how cute are my niece and nephew? dj lance rock and brobee from yo gabba gabba! happy halloween! # Tuesday, October 30, 2012 ( 2:18 AM ) shut up christine earlier today we watched baraka (loved it!) of course we reenacted this scene # Tuesday, October 23, 2012 ( 11:51 PM ) shut up christine *Pickles runs from Makoto* makoto: why does Pickles hate me? me: because you're a bad person makoto: i'm a good and wonderful person this certificate is taped to our bedroom wall # ( 10:36 AM ) shut up christine One carries a chip on one's shoulder as a form of physical challenge, inviting opponents to knock the chip off and so provoke a fight. The concept is now metaphorical, describing people who nurse a grudge or grievance that readily provokes fury or disputation. via yesterday a gummy bear sized "chip" was removed from my right shoulder the excision wasn't painful (anesthesia of course) it's the healing part that hurts this has been the case for so many situations in my life many times, the everything-after is harder than the trauma itself no matter how long it takes, eventually there comes a moment when it doesn't hurt anymore # Friday, October 19, 2012 ( 12:34 AM ) shut up christine so true. haven't we all been here The face that you saw in the door isn't looking at you anymore The name that you call in its place isn't waiting for your embrace The world that you love to behold cannot hold you anymore In a matter of time, it would slip from my mind In and out of my life, you would slip from my mind In a matter of time Beach House - walk in the park # Thursday, October 18, 2012 ( 11:48 PM ) shut up christine trust me as much as you hate turning off the computer and putting on your sneakers you always feel better after a sweaty jog as much as you love being a loner and hermit, it's good to see people once in a while as much as you could probably think of a hundred ways to spend your nights other than studying spanish medical vocab, at some point you will be so glad you took the time to do this in the future you will read this and nod your head # Sunday, October 14, 2012 ( 12:54 PM ) shut up christine this summer i got into the habit of drinking a glass of lemon or lime water first thing in the morning before eating anything else i can only speak for myself but DAYUM what a difference this may be tmi but it really helps with the bowel movements back in the day i used to poop once a month (for real not even joking) anyhoo now i go everyday sometimes twice a day that's all i have to say about that yay also i have struggled with acne for many years i had cystic acne on my jaw below my earlobes and while it hasn't been that bad for a long time girlfriend can i just say for the last month my skin has never been better (not flawless by any means, but it's a vast improvement from where i've been) it even helped with the rough-red-patches-maybe-this-is-lupus-butterfly-rash on my cheeks whatever it was, it went away granted, i've been getting hella sleep and drinking lots of fresh green juice and water and taking vitamins. i'm sure all of these things play a part if you replaced your morning coffee with lemon water, maybe you would start to see and feel benefits in a couple weeks as well every morning i squeeze 2 or 3 limes (we have a lime tree, and i use a lot because i like it strong) into a 16 oz jar of filtered water i drink it through a straw to protect my teeth # Thursday, October 11, 2012 ( 12:41 AM ) shut up christine Anything you cannot relinquish when it has outlived its usefulness possesses you. And in this materialistic age a great many of us are possessed by our possessions. -Mildred Lisette Norman Pickles is an indoor only kitty she's spent many afternoons at this spot, looking out i used to think she was plotting her escape but we've left the door wide open and she won't step outside perhaps she's afraid a couple months ago i purchased makeup from sephora a sampler of pretty nude lipglosses then i bought more mascaras eyeshadow palettes 3 different types of powder i kept going the odd thing is i don't wear makeup and when i try to, i've only bought the most neutral translucent nude shades that are practically invisible on my skin why my retail therapy serves no external purpose. the makeup literally doesn't show so why am i doing this? from now until the end of the year at least, i pledge not to buy anything no new material things for myself (except food and toiletries like toothpaste, or unless i need to purchase scrubs or something for work) when i think about it i already have everything i need. a pair of jeans can last 3 or 4 years, maybe longer i wouldn't need to get another pair until i'm 33 # Wednesday, October 10, 2012 ( 6:22 PM ) shut up christine made a juice with green cactus pears, which have an aloe-like skin and a sweet seedy center. juice was yummy but had a phlegmmy consistency benefits of cactus pears via
