That is awful! The body-shaming and pressure on women to be size X doesn't even let up when we are battling a potentially terminal illness. Enough already!!

And I am so sorry for the loss of your bff. :'(

Mrs. deWinters, #2 (who still has no name, poor thing) for the win.

I can't imagine living in a world without love. Even if it means that our hearts WILL be broken.

It's a hard thing to talk about and think about. It's still there, however, even if we avoid it.

I think that people can learn to overcome almost any handicap or wound, internal or external, and I do love those stories.

I think we, as a society, aren't very comfortable talking about domestic violence. Some would say, hey, she herself wasn't beaten, what's the big deal? But it DOES impact a child, greatly, to grow up in a home where there is domestic violence, even abuse that's "only" verbal and emotional. No sense of security or safety.

We all have to learn to toot our own horns, but NOT in an obnoxious way. And not in a way that doesn't feel like it has any chance of being reciprocal (not that I really *want* that author's endorsement).

McKenzie - been there, felt that. My folks always made a big deal about Pearl Harbor Day, and I felt like, so, that was CENTURIES ago. And since it was always THERE, when I grew up, I didn't have a before-and-after to imagine what the world would have been like it it had never happened. Bunch of boring people, droning on and on.

I think you're a much better person to admit how you feel, than to manufacture some insincere emotion you don't feel. I know that some of the people blogging about 9/11 were intensely impacted, and others... the meme of the moment.

Oooh, journals, oooh, pens, oooh, libraries & bookstores... it's like special kind of fetish porn for writers, I think.

I've had periods where I journal, but mostly I stopped when I began blogging, and resuming work on my sadly neglected novel. I love the idea, but begrudge the time. I do keep a dream journal though, and will occasionally jot notes down in a "regular" journal.
