More NoES/QaF Part Five - Brian/Freddy -Just What 2004 Needs

So - I did get derailed a bit. Most of this has been written for a while, I just kind of hate it with a fiery passion. Seriously, I absolutely hate this and want to do something wacky. Any more angst and I'll be jumping off the catwalk at Babylon. Okay - I don't hate this part. I just find it tremendously depressing and so I have delayed finishing it. It was easy - what with the hobbits and the hair and the sickness - to be distracted.

Previous bits are linked to from here: http://www.livejournal.com/users/sisabet/96690.html

Warning: Horror. Set after season three.

Screw the Inside - I'll Grow As a Person Next Year. 2004 is the year I Get Prettied Up

I don't do New Year's Resolutions. I have a difficult time remembering them and I typically am not an "all or nothing" type person - yet resolutions are generally very firm. Such as: "Quit Smoking" - where I much prefer a "Resist Smoking" effort. "Lose 10 pounds" versus my much preferred "Grow five inches" - notice I don't specify in what direction? Thinking - I am always thinking.

That being said - this is a good time of year to face facts and look at certain issues I have not wanted to really address. Namely - all of my pants are too tight.

Yes, it is true. I have passed the stage of just excusing myself as prefering to wear the "form-fitting" pant. We are even past the point of my pants just hurting me when I wear them. At this point, the wearing of the pants is not even an option.

I need to take stock of my daily diet (too much fast-food) and of my available wardrobe options. heres_luck made the comment when she was here that my room appeared as if my closet had vomited and she was being kind. I need to sort through my current 3 sizes of clothing and just put away clothes I will not be able to wear in at least the next month or two. That will simplify my life completely. I'll do that this weekend - someone - stay on me to do that or I'll put it off, please?

I'm also gonna join that WW fannish community thingy that bonibaru started. I lost 3 dress sizes a couple of years ago on weight watchers and I like the point system. It worked with my life. Also - my skinny pants are all kinds of cute, so I need to be able to wear them again.

Also on the 2004 Beauty Front - I wish to try Benefit's Dr Feelgood - the invisible blotting balm - I wonder if it will make my skin matte and feel like velvet? I must know.

I turn 29 this year, so I think I should probably go formal shopping soon. Every TV show I have ever seriously watched, tells me that this year, I'll end up going to Prom with some hot blond number. I can't wait. 2004 is so gonna rock! Rock!
