That is so effing cool!
i like finding spots in town that i haven't been into yet, shops in hidden alleyways, libraries buried down stairs in old buildings. just walking around means i bump into amusing people and situations occasionally.
my city is currently being rebuilt, so i like to take a camera around and record. it's here today, but will be different before you know it!
related to ramenopres's above post - local history organisations often are in need of people... [more]

my stomach hurts like its never hurt before!
thanks so much for the quick answers! the codeine tablet i took seems to be enough to have taken away the pain, so i think a bad case of heartburn may have been the case.
if the pain had been worse, then i may have suspected gallbladder problems.
going to check with my mother the nurse once she gets back from work today for another opinion though, just in case. thanks again.

It's been five years. Why do I keep thinking about this girl?
i have a similar thing about a guy i could have been in a relationship with, but... ah whatever. i haven't been in a relationship since that time either.
i started thinking i was going nuts because i couldn't get thoughts about him out of my head. and even consciously trying to get rid of them wasn't helping it get any better.
so i thought, let's work with it instead. i just see it as representing the kind of love i have to give, and have tried... [more]

How to Change my Worrywort Perspective
similar to t0astie's answer, when i find that worrying excessively stops me from doing the things i should be doing, i write it all down, every little bit of silly reasoning as to why i can't do x, or what bothers me about y.
then i leave it overnight and read it again, and realise how stupid it sounds, and do x anyway.
i actually keep a diary, and despite what people say, it's bad to keep a diary because it exacerbates your habits etc etc. i... [more]

How do I make songs?
it took me a while between wanting to write songs and actually writing and recording them (two years?) but please don't despair.
don't throw out your little bits of music - some songs actually come about when two or more bits which might not necessarily sound congruent are pasted together, and come out sounding great as a song. i'm sure somebody who has a better knowledge of music in general can name some examples...
i find it hard to write... [more]

Volume!
my hair is long and dead straight (i'm asian) and also baby fine, although i do have a a lot of it, hence it needs layering or else turns into sort of flat triangle shape.
i don't know if you have any japanese grocery stores near you, but i put gatsby hair wax into my wet hair before i blowdry it. the gatsby hair wax tends to be more texturising and nowhere as oily as the regular stuff i find in stores here. oil is the big killer of big hair for me.... [more]

Ask post:
I like my pimples and my hunchback, thanks.
i have to say that i was much like you a few years ago in my university days, not liking to fuss about my appearance. i used to think wearing nice clothes was a consumerist thing, then would get angry when people wouldn't take me seriously on first appearances. but a particularly picky friend commented the other day, "you've changed a lot since high school," which i take as a compliment coming from the likes of her.
if you're interested in the quirkier side of... [more]
