But her mom does. she always takes off her nail polish and puts it back on right after she prays and I'm just like you should just keep it off but shes like no no no no I have to look good LOL.

My husband and I both really like Mad Men. Also people I know have said Homeland is really good.
OMG I'm so tired! If I didn't have kids then I would be so, so happy to just sleep until I felt like getting up and then lounging around in my pj's all day tomorrow. :(
Im so exhausted right now as well!! I was volunteeing all day at my church for a easter thing. It was awesome. It was free so anyone could have come. We had a helicopter drop candy onto the ground and all the little ones went wild and we had an egg hunt and bounce houses and carnival games. I was up at the crack of dawn to help them set up. Then outside all day in the crazy florida hotness watching the kids at the games and what not. I love little babys. I volunteer every sunday at the day care and watch the infants to 2 year olds. Its gunna be insanely crowded tomorrow for easter service -.- yikes !

I guess it depends on the person. and kudos to the mom, she has the patience to put off and on polish five times a day!! I'm too lazy to do that!! :p
happy Easter to everyone!!!
P.S: I just thought of this last night. I've read a few books with "preppy boys" in those. What is this "prep"? and why is it said with such disdain?

It's another subgroup of the high school microcosm: preppies, jocks, nerds, emos, stoners, sluts, etc. When I was in school, preppies would wear really expensive jeans, button down shirts, or an expensive polo shirt, and some sort of expensive shoe, probably designed for yachting. :-)
It feels weird hearing about these stereotypes.Where I live,we don't have anything like these at all.Well,we do have our cliques,but not like this.It's as if they are divided into groups of people according to how they dress and behave.
Thanks Tom for clearing that up. Mishma, same here. Sure we stereotype, but that is most of the time based on how many hours we spend on facebook and how many hours we study etc (you get my point). We have never really judged anyone (at least in my experience) based on their parents' money. Sure, some of the girls with us had money, but we all behaved with each other same either way. I remember when I first started reading western YA fiction (typical ones) and thinking, really?? so what if he dresses well?
Happy Easter everyone! Making coffee cake for breakfast, yum my favorite! Doing much better with my disorder, thank you to everyone who said something kind to me while I was struggling! I have been able to eat and not feel guilty for a few days now! I even gained 1/2 pound, lol. The road to recovery is going well!

That's exactly what I feel.When I first started to read YA books it felt really weird.At 11,I was really clueless with the fact why everyone is called jocks and sluts and emos and all sorts of names I've never heard before.I am kind of thankful for my country in this subject.I hate when people judge someone with just one trait.
Happy Easter everyone! Have a great day!
I'm starting my day off by watching the new episode of Doctor Who.

Ooh I liked it! Tell me if you do!
The Bells of Saint John was great! Who is Clara? That is the question. Matt is amazing as always!
Now I'm going to watch The Nerdist and read for a little bit before I leave for brunch.

I love the Nerdist, it's so funny! Have fun at brunch! :)

It's a funny show. I have to say that BBC America has some of the better TV shows. Today. I get to catch up on my shows so later I have Game of Thrones and Orphan Black.
And thanks!
And thanks!

Mishma, yes, me too! we are not less judgmental than anybody, but typically we judge people based on more than one characteristic!! (although I have no idea if that is any better)
Does anyone have Amazon Prime and if so how does it work? I'm thinking of getting it?
Is it worth it to get it for instant videos?
My exams started yesterday.We still have two more days to go.I can't wait for the holidays to begin.
Good luck Mishma! Are you nervous?
Thanks Chaska.Well a bit maybe.My worst nightmares are due to tomorrow and day after tomorrow.Business Studies and Science.I suck at them.
Ohh I have a Science exam tomorrow that almost every other class failed... not looking forward to that :P

Wow thanks everyone! You guys are so nice :D@Samia I used acrylic paint (like these http://www.michaels.com/FolkArt-%C2%A...) that I normally use for regular painting between layers of clear polish. The clear polish layers are really important because the acrylic paint won't stay on nails, but it will adhere to polish. The top layer keeps the acrylic from getting scratched off.
@Pehel it actually took me less time than you would think because the acrylic dries so fast that by the time I'm done with my 10th nail, I can start all over on the 1st nail. I also use Sally Hansen Insta Dri polish (http://sallyhansen.com/products/nails...) and I kid you not...it only takes about 30 seconds to dry. It still probably took me around 3 hours to do because I put a coat of clear polish on between each color so that if I messed up with the acrylic then it would be easier to fix (the acrylic comes off easily with water, but it will also take off any layers of acrylic under it).
I have a brush set that I use for painting boards (like these http://www.loew-cornell.com/product-p...) and I bought a set for doing my nails (like this http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B008...). Hopefully that covers everything if anybody on here would like to try it out for themselves :)
Just read that whole thing and my mouth is like wide open. I LOVE doing my nails in cool stuff, I just got a nail polish pen in black, and I did a white top coat, then with the pen drew on weird trees haha

If you like to do your nails then these are awesome too! You can take off the cap to use like a pen or unscrew it to use as a brush!

I'm 23 and I LOVE getting things on my nails. April is Autism Awareness month and I usually get something like this on my nails. I work with children who have been diagnosed with autism so I always try to support the cause.

I can't help but laugh when I think about this.Today in my IT exam I forgot which side horizontal and vertical are.So when I was stuck without knowing a simple thing,guess who became my savior?Carlos from Rules of Attraction.I suddenly remembered his 'horizontal tango' comment,and there I got the answer.
