Well duh. Hello, Slayer.

You Are Dusk

You are a naturally idealistic and creative person. You look forward to nights where everything is possible. You spend most of your energy on play. Work is okay, but the true you emerges after the work day is done. You're an offbeat type that doesn't like rules or schedules. Life's too short to waste at a desk in a cube. Whether you spend your night socializing or working on side projects, you like that your time is yours.

Are You Dusk or Dawn?

I have a room that is not yet a nursery that is full of baby stuff. Baby stuff that is tiny and adorable that I have NO CLUE what the hell I'm supposed to do with it. ...But omg, you guys, thank you so much. Seriously. It is so, so...NEAT! Julian, get up here and help me figure out what to do with all this.

(no subject)

Oh my God. Cashews. I want cashews. Honey roasted cashews.

And blue cheese stuffed olives. In an ice cold martini, but I can't have the martini, so I'll take the olives. Just a big bowl of olives.

...Wha?

One of Your Needs is Being Met

Need being met: Physiological needs Needs not being met: Safety, love, esteem, and self-actualization needs Believe it or not, you are only taking care of your biological needs right now. You are getting enough sleep, food, water, and shelter to survive. To truly thrive, you'll have to feel safer.. whether it's financially or physically safer. Assess your current situation, and do what you can to get yourself out of danger. After that, the world is yours!

How Many of Your Needs Are Being Met?

[CharLoft] Friday: Why would you do that to yourself?

I like scars.

That sounds weird and I’d probably feel differently if I had something horribly disfiguring. But I like the little flaws. Perfection and flawlessness…it’s just not natural, and it’s overrated. My scars are reminders, and they’re unique to me, and they set me apart, and I like being unique and different and me.

The first scar I can remember getting is the one on my chin. I was really little, I tripped over a speck of dust and I busted my chin. It bled like crazy and I had to get these big ugly stitches--it was pretty traumatizing. You can’t really see it now, just barely if I’m in the right light from the right angle. It’s maybe an inch, an inch and a half long? It’s just a little indention.

I cut my knee open several years later, and it had to be stitched up. I hobbled around on crutches for a while. That was actually kind of cool, I was really popular for about a week--what is it with kids’ fascination with crutches? Anyway. It’s also barely visible. It’s about two inches long and very thin and pale.

The next scar I can remember getting is the one on my palm. I’ve told the story so many times, so I’ll make it short. I was at work when I became a Slayer. I was a waitress. I broke a coffee cup. It just shattered in my hand because I gripped it too hard. I cut the hell out of my palm, went to the hospital, had it stitched up. But because I had that nifty accelerated healing, the next day, it was all healed up around the stitches. I had to cut the skin open again to pull the threads out. It left a very odd looking scar below my thumb. I don’t know why that wound would scar when nothing else I’ve sustained since becoming a Slayer except for vampire bites has…I can only figure, maybe it was because I’d just been called? I don’t know.

My other two scars are bite wounds. The first was a graze, just two little raised lines on the back of my neck, where the fangs caught me. The other…was worse. It was a full out bite. It kind of intersected through the other and…it’s kind of ugly and weird looking? And I wear my hair down a lot to hide it? But I learned a pretty valuable lesson from it, and I haven’t made the same mistake again.

As for piercings or tattoos, well, my ears are pierces, as is my belly button. Speaking of which, don’t I have to do something special for that when I start, um, getting bigger? With the baby? Like, get a spacer or something? Eh, anyway. I’ve thought about tattoos, but so far it’s all just been thought. I don’t know what I want, or where I’d get it, and that’s a decision you need to make sure you put a lot of consideration into, so. If I find something I just HAVE to have, maybe I’ll get it.

So. That's all.

You know I had to share

I would like to state, for the record, that that whole practice of making a woman drink a TON of water and then not letting her pee and then PRESSING DOWN ON HER ABDOMEN with that wand thing is a form of torture. TORTURE.

And also totally worth it.

LOOK. AT. THAT.
