"You're probably blissfully unaware of how cute you really and truly are."

I was calling my best guy friend on new years eve at 5 in the morning, and one of the first things I heard was his flatmate in the background:

"V.'s awesome and we love her, tell her that!"

awww :)

wtf_sexism
Self-described as "a little community with a lot of rage," you can soak up impassioned vibes and read blistering exposes detailing sexist attitudes in the news, pop culture, and science! A must-join community if you are, or love, a feminist. (NB: the topic of whether a "man" can be a feminist is outside the scope of this spotlight, but will probably wind up on the Writer's Block.)

So after being dumped by a fiance six months ago, I have re-entered the world of dating and boyfriends, oh my! And new boyfriend is amazing, thus the post :)

"I am psyched."
- About anything in particular?
"You. Tonight. Everything. Just a great night."

"I really like you, you know. I feel like I should tell you that every once in awhile. I just wish I could be telling you in person rather than via text."

I'm lucky :)

Talking to my best friend about the situation with my parents (they're separated):

[15:35] : well as long as your parents were together at one point I'm okay because I need you to exist

I don't know, it made me smile a little. :)

So I have this texting buddy that knows me IRL and I, for the life of me, cannot figure out who they are. They, of course, don't know this, because I haven't revealed the fact that I'm still in the dark despite a few months (and I don't plan to, it's so lol and ~mysterious~). But I just received a text asking me if I've seen Avatar and I said Yes, Twice and they replied with "Omfg, what'd you think? It's the kind of movie I'd want to watch with you. it reminded me of our 'ambassador to the aliens' convo we had a while ago at some parts!"
I was all, awhhh this person is weird, too ♥! I don't know you random texteer, but you seem so kind <3

I'm housesitting right now at an elderly apartment complex. A few days ago at about 7am, I was carrying in my suicase, and a few other things after spending Christmas at my house. One of the men that lived there saw me through his window and came to open the door for me,(which you have to open with a key) saying "Its way too early to be carrying that much stuff." He made me smile. :]

Turning to photography as a creative outlet during a valiant fight with breast cancer at age 34, renaissance10 survived and set up a photo contest to help raise funds for the Lavender Trust, a nonprofit that provides information and support to younger women with breast cancer. In the first two years, the competition brought in over £65,000 (that's $107,260.73 U.S.!), with entries from 130 countries last year. Renaissance10 recently joined LiveJournal to meet other passionate photographers and find supportive friends.
