Aww...*hugs* Alissa. My mum's secret to covering up dodgey nail polish is glitter, lol. She always used to have really long, really glittery nails, and would always be complimented on them, hehehe! And as for fake tanning, well when I have used it in the past I used to get the lotions not the spray but I think this would work with the spray too. Just spray it basically all over yourself - doesn't matter if it gets on places you don't tan. Then when you are done, get a wet cloth and wipe down the parts of your skin that are normally whiter, like your elbows, knees, backs of your legs etc. and it looks more natural that way. All this talk of tanning... I miss summer. It has been cold and rainy here for over a week, and this still doesn't even help the drought.

Don't worry about messing up your nails when you paint them Alissa. Truth is, they always chip like, 24hrs afterwards, no matter how perfectly they were painted in the first place. Clear polish is my friend. For tanning, use one of those daily lotion thingies. It only tans a little bit each time you use it, so you'll know if it's coming out uneven before it's too noticeable, and you'll be able to fix it. I don't like the sprays either, I think they look more orangey than the lotions. Wow, this sure beats trying to figure out what the ceremony is, don't it? =P

I've always been curious about those spray tan chamber thingies they have at tanning booths. Ah, I'm pale as goth, and I'm ok with that for now

Well, I didn't GET it done, I bought an 8 dollar bottle and hoped for the best ;D
Turns out only one leg massively fucked up, the rest is okay... I'll try again when it fades.

This just seemed like the right place to post that. Oh no! I hope it's okay. Lately my computer keeps switching itself off. I don't think it's a virus, it just seems to have a heart attack everytime I do something fairly big, like burn a CD or something. However, it has crashed when I've been doing nothing as well. Grrrrr.... Need to get it fixed, hope it doesn't cost an arm and a leg!

Ugh, no one is here! Well, I guess that's what I get for living on the other side of the world, isn't it? YT is stuffing up for me. I actually tried to upload my first video, but it just keeps saying that the video is "undefined." I read some support forums - seems as though it's pretty much a new bug that can't be fixed yet. LG is going down the drain. It's getting late now. Everyone in Australia is pretty much asleep or out picking up and getting trashed. And I need to vent! lol I got a call yesterday, telling me that I can go in for surgery on Thursday. For those who don't know, I had a brain tumour, and part of my skull on my forehead was replaced with a prosthetic plate. However, the bones started to grow back a little bit and have pushed the plate out of place, so now I need to go in and get it fixed up to stop it from hurting, and so that I don't have a lump on my head. It wont be as big of a deal as the first operation. There is really no risk I'm told, except for infection after it's all done. But I'm still pretty nervous about it. I'm not sure how long the recovery time will be, and I know that last time it was very, very difficult. I thought it was going to be months away, but nope. Four days now! Eeeek! Hmmm, yeah so anyway I'm also trying to get my thesis finished so that I make the deadline in October, but so far I haven't heard back from my uni, even after making them aware of this. What should I do guys? Travel 15,000 miles away and send a million emails? It's the winter holidays now, and it's pretty dead at uni. Hopefully I hear back at the start of the week. But I'll be okay. Just needed to vent, lol, and you are all such nice people... well most of the time... I need some more friends who are insomniacs, 'cos at the moment I only have... well, none... lol. Damn those "able to sleep" people! Anyway, thanks for listening.

Listening here too...
Please keep us up to date with progress of your recovery from surgery, when you feel up to it of course.

Thanks Milo and CG. It is pretty nerve-wracking at the moment, but I think it's probably best to get it over and done with. I was feeling pretty down last night when I wrote that post (and I'd had a couple of drinks too, lol ). So thanks for listening. I really appreciate it. As for YT, they've changed their system over or something and so the "undefined" error is coming up for quite a few people, but so far when they contact YT they get no real help. So it is pretty frustrating.

Sorry to double-post! (well it's been a couple of days, lol) Just an update - YT. Hmm, well turns out it's their fault they suck. I emailed them telling them about the "undefined" issue and I got this response: ___________________________________________ Hi there, Thanks for your email. I would like you to know that the appearance of the message "undefined" above the progress bar is the result of an issue with our website. It's been reported to our engineers and should be fixed soon! However, it does not hinder the uploading process in any way. I suggest that you try uploading your video again and allow it to process completely. It should work just fine. If you face any issues, please write me an email. I'll be happy to assist you Regards, Shweta The YouTube Team ___________________________________________ So yeah, I'm trying it. So far it's like watching paint dry. I tried putting up a couple of videos but, meh... I'm sick of this waiting, so I'm putting up my cheesy LG one first. Hope you enjoy it's craptasticness when it finally gets up there, lol. Now as for the big day, only 2 more sleeps. Eek! Yesterday I did all the pre-op stuff, it freaked me out but I'm starting to settle down a bit now, well not that much but more than I was! It's just weird the way they call you and only give you about a week to prepare for this stuff. You don't really get time to process it. But anyway, I'm betting that I recover before my video loads.... Stupid YouTube, I am waiting for the thing to load. It does not work "just fine." Bloody Shweta thinks he/she knows everything...pfft...

Oh, I hope everything goes smoothly, Elixir! I'll be thinking about you on Thursday! Annnndd...good luck with that whole PooTube thing. You could take my stance and refuse to post videos. Makes the whole uploading process much easier.
