I tell you I have this theory. It goes where, you're the one who's not my sister. Cuz mom adopted you from a shoe box full of baby howler monkeys, and never told you cuz it could hurt your delicate baby feelings.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!

I've been told by various people that I have a cute nose. I don't know , it just looks like a nose to me. And it doesn't work as well as I'd like.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

My nose has kept up in size with my face, but I seriously don't think it has changed shape since I stopped being a baby, if that. Having been focussed on drawing likenesses recently I've been obsessing about getting noses right especially. I was doing a deaged pic, so I looked at a teen pic of the subject and it wasn't the same nose. I felt betrayed. Also, adrift. Okay, exaggeration. But drawing kid me is easy. Once I stopped looking like Mao, I started looking exactly like me. My sister even moreso-she's looked almost exactly the same since she was 14. She used to look old for her age, and now she looks young. Me, I just lag.

Unrelatedly, where did all this music on my iPod come from? Jack Palance? Ja Rule?

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

My nose is as lopsided as the rest of my face. I do one of those mirroring things with half my face and it freaks everybody out. Normal for me is looking like they pulled one side from one rack and the other side from a rack a size or two smaller.

No lemon. I've always hated lemon in my ice water. I'll send it back, and don't take the lemon off the rim and bring it back to me, I can smell the oil on the rim. The no lemon thing extends to tea, as well. Hot tea, green, white, or black, just tea. Herbal, a little honey. Occasionally I'll do strong black with milk and honey, but only when I'm feeling the need for cossetting.

Holli, this is exciting, but I'll bet you'd be very very good at it. Good luck!

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

Oh my gravy, y'all, I was right at the point of fish or cut bait with the report I'm working on and then I figured out where the last bit was off. THANK DOG!

Now to move on to Stage Two and see if I can finish off this mother. And somewhere in the middle of that, I have to go to rehearsal (even though I'm not playing this week because they changed the date from Saturday to Sunday) and help them audition vocalists. And clean the house. And pack. OMG.

My nose is bigger than ideal (especially when paired with an underperforming chin), but I'm nowhere near vain enough to actually undergo surgery to improve it. Plus, my best angle is the one I see in the mirror, which cuts down on self consciousness as long as I avoid being photographed in profile.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

ita, your nose is fine. It is you who are crazy.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

OK, Colbert's recipes from last night's show are sounding really good to me. I'm pretty sure this is a problem of some sort.

My nose is my favorite facial feature.

You should look at your smile again. Also the eyes.

The Zmayhemi are back from Noe Valley and The Mission.

Got cherry chocolate bread at Noe Valley Bakery, poked around at stores. Had Burritos at Little Chihuahua.

Then got back in the car and scored excellent parking by Bi-Rite Creamery. Ice cream all around (literally in Matilda's case), then we walked down to Valencia and wound up spending a lot of time at the Paxton Gate Curiosities for Kid's Store. Emmett bought a rather fearsome looking slingshot which he will undoubtedly use to break something expensive, or otherwise piss me off.

I think we're going to get the little Advent Calendar Cabinet thingie they had at the kid's store. It's a small wooden tree shape with lots of little drawers so you can put little treats inside. It's plain pine so JZ can paint it some fun stuff and then we'll have a re-usable advent calendar for every year.

Beverly, you are dead to me. DED.

I love lemon more than anyone I know. I buy probably 5-6 of the large bottle of juice a month. I use it in tea and water, in cooking, and occasionally just swig it straight from the bottle, cold.

I stopped eating lemons in my late 20's, because it just destroyed my front teeth enamel and I had to get veneers, but I'll have a couple, halved, with salt a few times a year. As a kid, I would segment them, like an orange, and sprinkle with salt, and I could eat a bag in a day that way.

William-Sonoma has Meyer lemon juice in bottles and I frickin' love that. If it weren't so pricey, I'd indulge more often.

If I could get a job as a lemon sommlier, I'd do it.
