I know I'm feeling estranged from a lot of things lately, except for feeling like a real American cause I hate my job sometimes, but I watched "Thirst Trap" yesterday, about this fandom of women losing their damn minds about some Tik-Tok tenderoni(Paramount is totally horning on netfix's "I can't believe it's not a documentary" turf--pun not intended but I'll leave it...dude's cute, but come on, he vamps when he lip-syncs. That's it.) I missed that whole phenomenon somehow. Anyway, thanks for not letting my first forays into fandom get nightmarish like that.(doxing, plunging into someone's divorce, shunning.) Of course, young dude made it worse: he slept with one of them.

Man, next time something converges on Glendale like Kirk fandom, I hope Buffy comes, too. To clean up the mess.

I actually looked pretty to myself in the mirror in my cut and color, but I guess life is keeping me from being "SO BRAVE!1" and posting it...dreamwidth shut me out. I guess it's not just my bad attitude keeping me from motivational nano-stardom.

You should totally post it with this as the caption. (Once you can)

You mean take a pic? and I wear makeup even less often than current Pam Anderson so there ought to be a medal of honor in it at least. (Kidding, obviously. I think a lot of the coverage of, like, "Real Beauty" misses the point, though, at least for me...the point is not to never wear it again, although I have sensitive skin and have to be careful about what I put on it, so it's kind of an event thing, and it's been too long between events.) But my point is that it should be about choice, and fun and the conscious parts of illusions, and I don't think it's some big lie if the red carpet and Ralph's don't look the same--I'm not *that* much like Bernie Sanders!

Maybe we will know we're finally equal when a female pol could have the same so-little-style-it's-a style like Bernie does, but that could be some time, to put that mildly.

Sherrod Brown, too. I love him, but I don't think he's ever worn a pressed, wrinkle-free button-down shirt in his life. I'm just impressed when his shirt is still tucked into his pants. His hair isn't as crazy as Bernie's can get, but it's also not slicked-down 1950s Republican hair, either. It verges on crazy hair, which I respect.

Yeah, Brown(whom I totally hope wins again) actually looked his best during the rare times they worked all night and stuff like that. It's weird that he just...looks like that, though, and sounds like it too.

I'm 53 and still regular. Well, monthly at least. My ob/gyn took me off the pill last year to see what would happen, and basically the only thing that happened was that I had a bunch of accidents in the first several months because I kept forgetting to keep track. 30 years on the pill is very convenient.

I was never able to take birth control pills, nor menopause meds, because they plunge me into a black hole of depression. Mother Nature was kind enough to stop the whole business when I was 47, and I have never missed it. Monthly periods! What the hell, man? Considering the functionality of various organs and joints, the human body is super poorly designed.
