I've stripes of zits across the areas of my face I had waxed yesterday, and I am displeased. I could describe it in more graphic detail, but you don't want that.

At work, waiting for more paychecks. Being moody in a wondering about my actual existence (in a does-anyone-see-me-at-all-but-me, sort of way, which certainly speaks to the compulsion of keeping an LJ) sort of way.

I'm blaming it and the incoherence on the wonders of menstruation.

HP is tonight. So psyched, but also wary, because it's going to produce some sort of mood, and considering my favourite characteri s Snape, that mood is probably "contempt for the species" and really, I'm about full up.

Antibiotic ointment looks greasy, feel disgusting, etc. - but will shorten the life span of said waxing zits by half, give you something else to be displeased about. Highly recommended.

Have they started to itch yet? I like that part best.

If you have any Calming Influence left over, it tends to work really well on waxing injuries.

None of this would have happened in the first place if they'd let me put my own moisturizer (which is to say Velocity) on the freshly waxed areas. Everything else always does this to me. I'm not sure I ever actually had any calming influence -- it wasn't in the starter kit when I joined.

do you think they reused wax from someone else or are you just having an allergic reaction to it?

get thee some tea tree oil for those evil zitties!

I think it's a combination of things -- my skin is still pissed off from all the stage makeup and then I put makeup on a few hours after the waxing for an audition, so what normally happens slightly is turning into its own damn ecosystem.

I sometimes break out after a waxing, particularly if the area hasn't been waxed for a few weeks.

Resist the urge to rub/scratch/fiddle with the area. When I leave 'em alone, the pimples go away in 24 - 36 hours, which has me believeing that they're caused by skin irritation, rather than the pores getting blocked by wax (otherwise they'd be there forever).

The woman I go to for waxing has started using some wonderful moisturizer/skin soother, post-waxing, and that has helped reduced the breakout a lot. I'm due for another waxing in a week, I'll ask her about the stuff and if a person can get it retail...

HP at midnight. I'm going to the showing at Kips Bay. I wonder how odd that will be?

[rm.livejournal.com]

That's where I am seeing it too.

Every year I've seen it for the midnight opening, and every year it's been a different type of bizarre.

Year 1 I went alone, in costume and got harassed to hell before the movie. During the movie the 40-something couple next to me was having sex (yes, full on intercourse) in the seats next to me. After the movie people were so sucking up to me.

Year 2 I went with a group of equally insane people, and we were the very very bad annoying people you pray you don't sit next to at the movies, because we were all about the fandom in jokes.

This year, who knows. I will say that Kips Bay tends to be an oddly empty theater a lot of the time, so it may be relatively quiet.

[anathemadevice.livejournal.com]

Well. That makes 2 more people I know besides my wife and our friend Allison that will be there. I look forward to spotting you. We should be there sometime around 11.

Speaking of Snape, the LN mods are about to do a purge and they don't have your email. There's a post in the OOC community.

[rm.livejournal.com]

Oooo, will deal with that when I get home.

Q: You and Melynda and I hatched all sorts of plans while I was in down in Austin -- do you/do you want to RP over there or has everyone (clearly myself included) abandoned it to the bad crazies?

[tsarina.livejournal.com]

I don't even remember what was plotted back then. The brain does not extend so far in time.

But Melynda and I played a bit recently, my involvement is chaotic.

*nodnodnod*... I'll rescue myself, post some nonsense and then we'll all come up with something -- I think it revolved around Narcissa antagonizing everything in sight, but lord knows if I've any recollection either.

[tsarina.livejournal.com]

Well that does come naturally to her...

[rm.livejournal.com]

Right, hence my recollection being useless. I just posted to LN_OOC, and I checked my email address, which is in fact perfectly current, so I dunno what is up there. But I'll add something vicious to the game and that should in fact solve the dilemma.

That character is such a moody son of a bitch, I think because it's the only character I've ever written a childhood for (more out of game than in game). Hrmmmm... I can feel the fan fiction coming on -- it's like fits.

Hehe, the recurring HP fever. It's like malaria. ;)

[rm.livejournal.com]

It is. It absolutely is. Also thank god for LOTR fandom, as it makes HP fandom look sane.

[tsarina.livejournal.com]

No joke. I had the fun of showing FW to someone at work, and discussing the Great Crystal Wank of 2004.
