I wound up in the hospital with 2nd degree chemical burns in both armpits from Nair once. Now I stick to razors and the occasional wax.

Yikes! I did send an invitation to the White House, but didn't even get a "regret" RSVP. How rude... ok, back on topic now!

According to the government we've got nada. According to our family, church, and credit card bills (that wedding was expensive!) we're 100% married.

My favorite tattoo: This is actually my "something blue" for my wedding. My wife has a matching one, but in a more discrete location. It looks red in the picture because it was brand new. I have two others - a small lily on my ankle (hey, I was 18 once) and a squiggly thing on my...

I'm currently reading Rant by Chuck Palahniuk and Fart Proudly: Writings of Benjamin Franklin You Never Read in School.

I smile all the time in real life, but I turn it off in pictures. One of my eyes squints a whole lot more than the other when I smile, and it always makes me dislike otherwise good photos. It's too bad, really, because I love my teeth.

I'm sticking with pale. I have the coloring of a redhead (but without the red hair), so I have fair skin with very pink undertones. I get a lot of freckles across my nose in the summer, which I actually really like. A few years ago I went tanning for about three months. It wasn't for me. At...

I'm on el-jay as well: geobabe is my name, for I studied rocks in college. I watch: _vintage_life_ vintage_ladies vintagehair there's also costume_9to5 which I started with the intention of making it a community about those of us who "dress funny" in any capacity as an every day sort...

I prefer shaken for a different reason: It melts more of the ice and weakens the drink. There, I said it: I like a weak martini. If it's made with crushed ice, that's even better.

I've used it and thought it was fine. I kept dropping the bottle on my toes, though. I think the moral of my story is that my hair is not picky at all.

I have a new, much shorter haircut and I'm not quite sure what to do with it. This was my first attempt at pincurls on it: That's a lot of fluff!

I use soap. My shower caddy is looking pretty bare these days.

This was the first thing I ever made! I'll have to see if I have a picture. I may not, since it is very unflattering. Mine's black on the back and the front (inside) is a cool dia de los muertos pattern on a black background. I actually intend to take it apart and make it fit better. From the...

I do use them quickly, probably because I cook a lot of Indian food (which is why I was hanging out in the Indian grocery to begin with) :) Good point, though.

I buy my spices and rice at the Indian grocery store. You can get HUGE quantities of spices there, much better quality than what you'd get in a regular grocery store, and the prices can't be beat. I got 1/2-lb bags of most things for less that I'd have paid for the 1 oz jar.
