Oh, honey! (((((Archegonia))))) You've come too far to give up now! Think of all that you have accomplished in the past year or so. Don't chuck all that hard work! Busties may only be a tiny fraction of the vast contingency we once were, but those of us that are here do listen & WE CARE ABOUT YOU! We're behind you 100%! DON'T GIVE UP! (((((Archegonia)))))

[archegonia]

confession: i'm so discouraged i kinda just want to give up

[buttercups]

Aww thanks for the support ladies!

Momo I've been having a craving to do that too lately even though I have wayyy too many undergarments and I am broke! Trying to resist! But it's so hard when VS keeps sending me emails about their newest way to be a hot valentine's day slut everyday- I want to go shopping!

[momo]

good job buttercups! that kind of self-control is hard but it gets easier with practice, in my experience.

Confession: I have been spending wayyyyyyy too much money on undergarments that no one's going to be seeing anytime soon.

I'm one step closer to moving him completely out of my mind..i hope..

Good for you, buttercups. I've been in at exact same situation. It'll keep getting easier. <highfive>

For the first time in 9 years I did not wish my ex a happy birthday on his birthday this past Friday. This is the first time that day has gone by without any contact between us. Confession- part of me still really did want to tell him happy birthday, and was hoping I would get a response in return.

I'm glad my logic won out that battle and I did not contact him. I'm one step closer to moving him completely out of my mind..i hope..

... still awake

damona: f*ckin' eh! i sing anywhere and everywhere and everyone should be so happy

i confess that when the kids are *finally* asleep the last thing i want to do is apply for jobs. the jobs i need to support the kids. the kids that keep me to busy to find a job. to support the kids. that need all my time... etc.

i confess that what i want to be doing, and end up doing more often than i should, is eating microwave popcorn and reading robert jordans wheel of time series.

i also confess that i love robert jordan. even though while at first i thought he was a good feminist cuz many of the powerful characters are women, now i think he tried but missed. there is so much acrimony between the female characters that shouldnt be there. perhaps it was a reflection of what he saw in the world.

i cant believe i'm

Hear, hear.

[auralpoison]

I completely understand why a lot of women do not align themselves with feminism. I cannot say I like it, but I so understand. There's a lot of strictly black/white, knee-jerk response, gross over-simplification of issues that sometimes make me want to tear my hair out. Some people don't have all the facts at hand & make these bold as brass grand sweeping generalizations about things & have zero capability to listen to any voice that does not tow their particular line. I am all for discussion, I want to hear what you have to say. But you have to be willing to listen to me, too.

tomorrow is week #2 of school
coonfession... I am actually glad to be getting away from my bf at home

am I weird?

[damona]

in line with epi's last confession: i was at the thrift store yesterday, with little z, and lady gaga was on the store radio and we were both singing along and dancing a little. i felt like a total dork when i realized how many people were watching. but hey, he had fun, so what the hell.

[pollystyrene]

Epi, if that's wrong, I don't wanna be right.

[epinephrine]

Confession: I give in. I can't fight it anymore. I......I love Lady Gaga.

[missladyj]

sybarite,
go for it. I say fuck modesty if you don't tell people how amazing you are how will they know? I will keep my fingers crossed for you.

Thanks epinephrine for the link . Fascinating. really. Wow.

[archegonia]

i confess i knew what it did to epinephrine's evening and i checked it out anyway. i also confess that i passed judgement on some of those people.

[epinephrine]

Confession: I just spent most of my evening enjoying all 49 pages of WTF Tattoos.

Zoya--bring it to a jeweller (even if it is somewhat unusual); they should be able to fix it. Better yet, if at all possible could you bring it back to the place it came from? Don't feel bad, you can't be the first person this has happened with.

I've been reading your recent posts; sounds like life is good Happy 2011!

I was given a lovely, amazing (and as it turns out, rather expensive) bracelet for christmas. it's basically one big long coil of thin metal (kinda like a weirdly shaped slinky) and it's awesome.

my confession: last night, it fell off my desk, onto it's side, and it got all tangled in itself. the more I try to untangle it, the worse it gets, and it's rapidly losing all shape. I can't even figure out how to get it back to its original state at this point. I think I've completely fucked it up, and I've only worn it twice. I have no idea how to fix it and I really don't want to tell the giver because he'll be bummed. problem is, next time I see him, he's going to ask me to wear it. ARGH!!!!!!!!



sybarite: all parts crossed for you!!! bring on the cajones!!

[sybarite]

Although I have loads of work to do, I am on a kind of self-imposed 'go slow', aided by sleeping something like 12+ hours a night. I figure I need the rest after a very busy autumn, so I'm letting myself off the hook--and it's been lovely, like a half-holiday.

I am also bringing the cojones in negotiating conditions for a new work gig--I seem to have shed all timidity/modesty, which feels weird but at the same time I know it's totally warranted. Fingers crossed...
