Gigi - what kind of ring would you wear? What makes you want a septum piercing rather than a nostril piercing? Maybe thinking about these things will help you to decide.

i actually go by Ruin these days! but i’m not sure re: ring. something subtle i think. i have some fake ones but they’re really blingy and it’s a bit too much on a day to day basis. plus, i already have a nostril piercing. i just really love the way septum piercings look - but i think it might be that i love them on other people? idk idk

FUCKING do it it would look stupendous

okay i took some pics awhile ago with my blingy fake one i’ll chuck them under a cut but i’m like?? i am torn on the one hand it looks okay and even good sometimes but then i look at the picture too long and it looks silly like a cow’s nose because of the shape of my face? I DON’T KNOW I’M TORN BABE thank you so much for the encouragement tho i am just a wuss

Oh Gigi. I’m so sorry that you are struggling through such torment. Please know that I’m thinking of you. I kept checking the Australian fire maps to make sure you and DoonaRose were okay.

Oh my gosh. I’m your parents age. Aggh. At least I’m a Gleek

Just to be clear, my parents weren’t born in the 70s. They were in their teens/early 20s in the 70s (don’t know if that was clear)

I wholeheartedly agree. I too have followed you since the dinosaurs roamed the earth. I’d read anything you wrote, including grocery lists.

you’re too kind, love. 

every now and then i still think about it. i daydream about writing an original thing, putting it up here. but i am, to be really honest, absolutely terrified of what would happen if i did and it went unnoticed, or worse, was terrible

there are still people who love what i used to write, who still think of me as a good writer - by which i mean, i still get kudos and comments on the old stories, so as arrogant as i feel and sound saying that, i think there’s some small shred of truth to it

You’ve also been a friend, an author, a nexus (the link/connection that held together a fandom), and a fangirl (I mailed you a funkopop and you sent me soap). I personally am proud to have you in my life.

i still have Poe on my desk! i love him dearly

So sorry that people (all of them), travel, work, and pregnancy are piling up on top of each other and making you emotionally vulnerable. Hugs from Boston ❤️❤️

Thank you so much *hugs*.

Honestly and ironically the whole pregnancy thing has left me MORE emotionally stable than usual - like I’m usually solely responsible for the women-with-PMS-are-overly-emotional stereotype out there, so I was expecting the worst, but it’s been... fine, really. But with lack of sleep and my usual paranoia and anxiety thrown in the mix, it’s still not a good combination, apparently.

DBT !!!! That’s our life. Saved my kid.
