either way, this might just have to be my next nail color: Breathe Life by OPI. the best part? some proceeds of this bottle go to lung cancer research (thus the name). in the bottle, this color looks a lot like the Clear Pond that covers my bedroom walls . . . thus, i am an instant fan.
side note: the icy silver of my nails reflects the snowy midwestern landscape right now quite perfectly. it's chilly, it's blustery, and i feel like i'm wearing impenetrable alloy shields on each of my fingertips. no wonder i wasn't even cold when i was scraping my windshield this morning.
side note #2: there's a lot more i could say, but i'm not going to. it's been a hard year. it's been a hard three months. it's been a hard day. it's been hard. what else IS there to say? i'm not telling you anything you don't already know. we're going to make it. if i didn't believe this, i would have given up months ago. so here i am again, trying and trying. the rest is not my business.

Breathe Life.
Well I do suppose magenta nails is easier for your patients to swallow than bright blue hair (as much as I want to see that!)
I think you've needed a bit of rebellion, and so I fully support it (in a fist waving, bandana wearing sort of way).
Speaking of rebellion, perhaps you should burn a bra or something....
Anyway, I was going to reply directly to this post with this handful of thoughts:
1. I'm missing you so much today. Hence the flurry of comments, texts, messages...etc.
2. In honor of your nail coloring obsession, I plan to paint my nails tomorrow night once I am finished, for good, in the studio, for 2009.
3. I'm thinking I'll use OPI's "Parlez Vous OPI" OR Essie's " Exotic Liras" Either way, it will be grand.
4. You're right. The rest is not your business. But I'm proud of you for trying so damn hard. Really proud.
Love you,
Quillianna
you know umber, maybe i'll get a blue/purple streak somewhere, maybe underneath the layers, so only those i show will ever know it's there. wait, i think i just described my soul: a cerulean/indigo/violet streak somewhere deep inside that only certain people will ever see.
quills: i miss you so much too and it's just numb. it's like how your arms would feel after holding onto a chainsaw for 5 hours. i've only seen you twice in the past 6 years, but the echo of our meetings still rings in my life every day. and painting your nails in solidarity with my nail obsession makes me REALLY happy.
i love you girls. like, REALLY love you.
PS I went with Parlez-Vous OPI.
I couldn't help it. I'm a Francophile...
