little joys:

[thene]

-tomorrow is my day off
-I do now have a finished draft of one of the things I was stuck on, though I have no idea what to do with it now. Should probably just get on with my life, work on other things, and line-edit once the stressed-out-over-it has worn off.
-spent an offchance $5 on two bra-substitute camisoles and oh my god so comfortable i keep forgetting i'm not naked, M says they look amazing, why does anyone ever wear bras oh srsly.
-today at work was peaceful and had some great learning experiences in it, some of which I may even have learned from /still hopelessly fixated on the US tax code
-we had a lovely stormy weekend and it's still raining lots so I am not suffering from The Pollen as much as I was last week
-M has promised to go up Kennesaw Mountain with me tomorrow if it doesn't rain. This will make Grendel happy. I don't think we'll be taking Precious again as she is a brat.

omg, I hate wearing bras. What are these camisole thingies? Are they the sort with built in cups? *___*

[thene]

These ones are partially spandexy and have an elasticated bit inside to put your boobs in, rather than cups. ONE OF THEM IS BLUE. I LOVE THEM. *____*

OMG I remember Kennesaw Mountain; it's so pretty up there. Also Stone Mountain was a lot of fun; I went there a bunch of times when I was a kid.

I've tried the camisole thingies and alas, they are not ready for my jelly. :( I just wear sports bras, because underwire is seriously from hell. Then again, I am a restaurant chef, so it's not like I need a shapely figure for my work clothes or anything.

Oh yusss; very pretty, and my bigdog loves it except for the part where he is not allowed to yell at other dogs. I always vastly amused by the information boards about the Civil War, too; the jist always seems to be 'THE NORTH WERE BIG MEANIES AND THERE WERE SO MANY OF THEM AND THEY USED TACTICS, HOW COULD THEY, SO WE LOST BUT WE TOTALLY DESERVED TO WIN' and when I ask people about this they say the strangest things...

I've been to Stone Mountain a couple of times - not often as a) it's a bit of a drive, and b) you have to pay $$$ to park there, but it's a fun hike. bonus lols; there's a 4-page entry in Lies Across America about it. It's pretty easy to find online if you're interested. tl;dr it was set up by the KKK, really incompetently.

I gave up on bras when I was at sixth form after seeing a BBC2 show about studies on breast pain - good science or bad science, NO REGRETS HERE. I do wear sports bras sometimes, but mostly when all my camisoles need washing. I'm not tiny - when I got measured a year ago when I was questing after clothes for an office job I was a C cup on one side and a D on the other, but I seem to get away with it, and don't even wear bras to the nicer job any more. (this time of year I do tax preparing 3-4 days a week, and my other job is retail for 3-4 days a week but wow would I like to change that, wouldn't everyone).

lol yeah, those information boards are everywhere in the South. There is one near where I work where the last actual battle in the Civil War took place (after the war supposedly ended, ha). I just really know what you're talking about, and considering where I'm from it's amazing I ended up being as open minded as I am (oh hai LHM :P).

ALSO I KNEW THAT ABOUT STONE MOUNTAIN, and if you have ever seen the lulzy laser light show, then you get to see even more "subliminal" pro-South, good ol' boy bullshit. BUT IT IS SO PRETTY UP THERE. I haven't been in a really long time, though. :(

My boobs are bigger than yours--when I tried the largest sized camisole, I had major muffin toppage going on. Basically I'm not comfortable unless I have some support. The last doctor visit I took, she told me that insurance may even pay for me to have a reduction, if I wanted one, because I may end up developing back/neck pain. OH JOY. Not sure if I actually want surgery tho, but you know, it's something to look forward to. -_-

ikr, the LHM is like a survival guide for places like this sometimes. :/ Though I spent my teens in northern England, which isn't quite the same but has depressing amounts of overlap.

I've never seen the laser show - never wanted to pay for it, though we did once stay on the mountain late and watch the lasers from above.

progress: writing porn again, yay! Possibly not the explicit kind. It hasn't decided yet.

More like a life preserver. :/ And again, thank god the covers were so sappy and nonthreatening to conservative ideologies, because if anybody on the school board had known it was a lgbt affirming story, I'm sure it would have been banned. They banned Harry Potter. :( But the school library had almost all of the HoV series. :)

And hurray for porn! \o/ Or any type of writings from you. ;)

[thene]

*facepalm* that doesn't even make SENSE, how is one series with magic and wizards in it worse than any other? I want bigots to have uniform standards goddammit. :[ That kinda IS the difference in the South, though - there's this active ideology of batshittery here, rather than just the wall of impersonal assumptions which I grew up with. The rampant homophobia here has an agenda attached to it, rather than just being The Way Things Are. :(

I want bigots to have uniform standards goddammit. :[

Oddly enough, my dad had the same thoughts. And he is most def on the extreme right. He said they may as well ban Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, since there was a witch in that, too. IDK, IDK. I think maybe because Harry Potter was set in the "real world", that made people think it about actualfax witchcraft and/or satanism. :/ His Dark Materials was banned, too. Because people around here clearly have no concept of the difference between fiction/nonfiction.

there's this active ideology of batshittery here lol. Yeah, it's the liberals/queers/feminists/environmentalists want to destroy America mindset.

Just keep porning, just keep porning, just keep poooorning pOOOOOrning poooorning, /lol, Dory

Lawl, i remember when you convinced me to go without a bra for a day, i gave up at 5 hours =)

Bras are sooooooo comfy, I really don't get what people mean when they say they hurt. Not having support hurts =( But I love those camisole tops too! I usually wear them for sleeping, but sometimes if i have no clean bras I'll wear them under clothes.
