so how is everyone doing in general?


i think i gained a pound or two over thanksgiving, which is a huge feat for me considering my metabolism lol--but i did have three seperate thanksgiving celebrations (not on the same day, of course).


unfortunately, that pound or two will probably be gone in a few days unless i keep eating like i have been, lol. i guess it's odd to hear about people trying to gain weight, because most have the opposite problem. it's just as hard for me to gain weight as it is for most to lose weight... :S

i just don't like being so so SO bony.

Heya Princess. heart I'm okay, I had two Thanksgivings and I ate a total of one scoop of mashed potatoes, two scoops of stuffing, a small portion of turkey and a slice of pumpkin pie. Being sick and cranky on Thanksgiving is no good. gonk

How are you?

no, that is no good D: < hope you get better! (if you have not already).

it seems like everyone is getting sick recently--i actually ended up with the swine flu earlier this year, and i never catch ANYTHING, so... (although like half my school ended up with is, so...)



i'm pretty good--i'm on winter break now (YAYYY) and don't have to go back to college until jan. it's pretty nice to do absolutely nothing. i have a doctor's appointment tomorrow though, which sucks because i have a doctor phobia or something. guess i should get used to it after all the doctors i have seen recently but... lol.

This is such a great idea, I'm one of many who has issues with themselves. I'll definitely stay here. 3nodding

Please make yourself at home! We're happy to have you here~

Thanks!

Now if I can find some sticky notes. >o>

I need to buy some new ones. My cat chewed up all mine. T___T

In my opinion, make-up is great so long as you're using it to cover up scars, blemishes, etc. However, to try and enhance ones original beauty is just disappointing. I know I'd love to see the face of the girl I am with in all her glory.

see, i have to disagree with that. i see nothing wrong with using makeup to enhance your beauty AS LONG AS you are okay with yourself without makeup.

sure, i use makeup everyday. now, it's not much--just eyeliner, blush, and mascara. would i go out without it? sure, if i had to. but i choose not to, just because i like how it looks. it emphasizes my eyes and makes my super pale face look a little less, you know, dead.

i fail to see what is wrong with that. why would you discourage a girl from making herself look even better?

i would think a truly loving boyfriend wouldn't care either way. my boyfriend doesn't mind if i have makeup on or if i do not. he loves me either way, finds me beautiful either way, and thinks it's completely up to me whether i go without or whether i do full black eyeshadow with fake eyelashes

I agree with this. I mean, makeup shouldn't be something to hide behind, it should just be for fun or whatever. It's not a mask, it's a fashion. I feel bad for people who feel they NEED to wear makeup. I don't think it makes people look prettier, really, It's just like, if you wear a really cool coat. I'm sure the person looks just as pretty without the coat, but the coat is awesome anyway.
I'm not good at explaining things. xD

Interesting thread/mission concept.
I don't have the money for sticky notes however. Haha.
Plus my girlfriend constantly tells me "You're beautiful" which has worked wonders over the course of our relationship for my self esteem and image issues.

I was anorexic to high hell when she first met me, and she helped me stop that basically. So now I'm trying to gain at least ten pounds so I'm not so unhealthy. Its a long work in progress though, because no matter what I eat or do, I hardly gain anything at all.

Congrats on the thread though, which is what I came here to say.

Yay for winter break! I'm really fine it's just that I stopped taking the pain pills and I'm withdrawing gonk as long as I don't start crying during class tomorrow I'll be fine though. whee Wow that sucks about swine flu, I hope everything goes okay tomorrow! sad

(You don't have to tell me this one but I'm just curious) Is your fear of doctors rational or irrational? Cause some people have a proper reason to be afraid.

I'm not against make-up (even though I don't wear it myself) but I'm against the idea that women NEED make-up or that you only look good with make-up. But that's my viewpoint on most things beauty related.

I might leave a little paper with "You are Beautiful" scrawled nicely on it on the bathroom mirror for my girlfriend or something tomorrow. Sounds neat.

Also, here's this : Snapshot.

It's nice to see that there are still people that aren't obsessed with external beauty.

yeah, it's more of an artistic thing/fashion statement than anything. as long as you are using it as such, there isn't anything wrong with it at all. :S it's no different than wearing a new coat or something, as you said. it's only an issue of low self-esteem if you feel really horrible without it. i have no issue with people seeing me without make, i just choose to wear it on a daily occasion.

[pigeonsoup]

Exactly. I used to wear makeup because of low self esteem, but then one day i was like ********, it's sad that I can't even go to the gas station for snacks without cover-up. So I just forced myself to stop wearing any makeup at all, quit "cold turkey" haha. Now it's not even an issue, I only wear makeup if I feel like looking fancier than usual.

I once knew a girl who wore like pounds of makeup, she was a scene girl of course. But she was really really nice or else I wouldn't have talked to her ever haha. But her boyfriend insisted that she looked better without makeup, and made a deal with her where if he did something for her, she'd show up to school with NO makeup on and without her hair done. She was sooo distraught all day but got nothing but compliments. Her hair looked gorgeous and I barely recognized her but she looked so pretty. But after that she realized she didn't really need all that makeup.

Thank you, but I'm quite full of coffee! I'm going to try to become a regular of this lovely thread.
lol And thank you; I hoped it would get some laughs.

On Makeup and Hair
I'm really not sure how I feel about makeup.
I wear it for generally artisitic reasons, but since I had my son I feel kind of... I dunno. Naked without it. Unattractive, no. But definitely naked.
If my hair is an unruly mass of tangles I usually won't go out without doing it. I've got pretty curly hair...xP
Hats are my friend.

That's good to hear. Boys can be surprising sometimes.

I don't mind. You don't have to pay me or anything. I always make little things like that for threads I like, so its all good. My good deed for the day. [nod]
