    Well, it's been a few months since this thread popped up, but I thought of a couple of things this morning.

    --I used to scrub the shit out of my face. I was horrible to my skin as a teenager. I'd steam my face, then scrub it, then use a mask with salicylic acid in it. As a result, I now have a patch of skin on my upper cheek that turns horribly red any time it approaches anything remotely irritating. I wish I had known better.
    --I used to wash my hair waaay too much. In middle school, I washed my hair every day, and my hair suffered, as did my scalp. While yes, adolescents produce more sebum, I could have probably gotten away with only washing every 3-4 days, and my hair would have been less frizzy.

    Now I don't do either of those things. I use a mild cleanser, mild moisturizers (Cetaphil and Cerave), and a mild AHA at night only on trouble spots, as well as Aquaphor for irritated spots/instead of eye cream. I wash my hair once a week and use a dry conditioner to refresh it when needed.

    I used to believe that if you tried to be fair and honest that it would be returned in kind.
    What I've learned is that being fair and honest _is_ the return.

    I used to do hard drugs.
    Haven't done those in a very long time.
    I used to dream about the future.
    Now I'm in the future and I'm really kind of disappointed.
    I used to camp but haven't in a long time.
    Maybe now that I'm back up in AK I can do it again.

    I used to be able to read and keep track of what was happening in a movie or TV program. It drove my mother crazy that I could be absorbed in a book, yet be able to tell her everything that happened on TV. These days I can still sort of do both, but if I'm truly absorbed in a book the TV might as well be off.

    Fangirl....I used to believe that if you tried to be fair and honest that it would be returned in kind.
    What I've learned is that being fair and honest _is_ the return.



    Amen to that....Also I try to always "do the right thing, which is I guess its only reward...

    • Go out and about DC (or outside in general) with my headphones on. Crossed the street one too many times without looking. ALmost got whacked by a text and driver.
    • Wear t-shirts, I've donated all but five t-shirts. I now wear formal. longer sleeve dress shirts (with vests, ties, bowties, etc) Trying to improve my appearance. It also makes concealed carry a bit easier.
    • Used to only get a medium skin fade, now I have a hairstyle similar to the one in my picture.
