MEMBER REVIEW SET!!
7 reasons why i personally love this set so much:
- miss cherry shot it!
- on film!
- in canadaland!
- theres a post secret theme!
- secret silencia cameo - see if you can spot her!
- its absolutely the most personal &dear to me of all my sets thus far.
- oh yeah, &theres also boobs &stuff. thats pretty neat, right? 
so please please stop by &let the staff know if you like it as much as i do! if the set is purchased, $250 will go straight to the kristin brooks hopecenter/1-800-SUICIDE &the other $250 will go into savings for the walk across the country i am doing to benefit the hopeline &raise suicide prevention awareness!
thank you sosoSO much to everyone who has already shown your love - you have no idea how much your words have moved me...
xooooo.
just wanted to give you a heads up on this little number, in member review tomorrow morning:
bedtime...
i have too many other good things going on right now. i have too much positive energy surrounding me to let this one scant misfortune get the best of me.
i have the most amazing friends anyone could ask for.
(shes one of the most beautiful people i know, inside &out.)
im going to hawaii in december with these weirdos:
i have a job i love.
&im starting a second job in a few days, &i think im going to love that one, too.
i have a photo exhibition the first week of august.
i love this city more &more every fucking day.
&im still going to walk across this fucking country next year, whether the doctors like it or not.
&. when im settled back down after my walk, i want to get a pet skunk.
in the meantime, i still have prints left, so if you want to help me pay for my biopsies &other medical expenses, please buy one! my cervix will love you forever.
eat a dick, cancer.
yep, new lyxzen set in member review! this set is:
1...the second in a two part series, preceded by my bff, miss silencias member review set, rest stop relief pt 1!
2...the most risqué and, ahem, "up close &personal" of any of my other sets!
3...__________ ---> you fill in the blank by leaving a comment!
if youre not familiar with member review just yet, its SGs way of finding out what members like, love, &want to see more of...so if you check out any member review sets in the future (&you should! theres so much hotness happening over there, its insane!), please please leave a comment to let both the SG powers that be &the girls whove posted their sets know that you like what you see!
we dont get paid for our sets unless theyre chosen to be "set of the day" on the main page, &since your support goes a long way toward influencing SGs decision to buy a set, we love your feedback!!
thank you so much to everyone whos commented thus far...your love, appreciation, &silly jokes mean so much to me &have made me smile so big!! spread the word, so we can keep spreadin our legs! hehe!
&because i feel like sharing something with you that makes me smile, i leave you with this:
guess what?! i found my oldold little tiny camera. well, its not really tiny by todays standards (it blew minds, it was so small back in 2002 or 2003!), but it has VIDEO! so here is a VIDEO!!
hahahaha, if you need an explanation, its me &my friend manda dancing a sped-up version of a smiths cover our friends band did...this is what happens when you dont have day jobs!
SO! as part of my next journal entry, i think id like to do one of those videos where i answer questions youve got, soooo message me with "VIDEO Q" as the subject, &ill answer probably any question youve got. fun? fun!
okayokay, because everyone knows i lovelovelove lists, highlights in lyxzenland as of late include:

&hey, if *you* are reading this...
did you see me on fuse today? i was playing twister on one of the warped wednesday clips!
last night i got home from the emerald city comicon in seattle, &as awesome as it is to be home, im so sad that its all over! meeting all of the other SGs was a blast, &staff members jorie and viquiv were amazing too...i just wish i could have spent more time getting to know you girls!
miss sedora was lovely enough to put us up for the weekend -- i cant thank her enough! it was SUCH a fun weekend, but i was beyond exhausted by the end of it. i cant wait till the next convention! 
(me & the awesome wilwheaton)
&some stolen from doxies blog:
(charm, doxie, marigold, kara, blyss, madeleine, me, doxie, amelinda, silencia, sedora, skully!)
a little while before that, me and miss silencia ventured even farther north to vancouver, BC to shoot with the always amazing cherry. there simply arent words for what perfect hosts she and matthew are...thank you a thousand times over!
other highlights include: meeting miss moira (we were lucky that her stay and ours overlapped! ); meeting maiwan at one of the BC burlesque festivals events; spending more time with glitch; relaxing &tea &talking &giggling; gorgeous weather (even if it was still really chilly); deliciousness in the form of sushi &other japanese yummies, bizarre canadian shirley temples, gelato, the foundation, and loads of candy; parking tickets; and puking. okay, maybe the last two weren't highlights, per se, but they happened!
(me &silencia, by mr. matthew)
(on the way to dinner)
&some stolen from silencia:
(me, moira, cherry, silencia, &glitch)
&before THAT, lyxzen got her drivers license (finally), &finalized all of the name change business, too:
me &silencia leave for our california road trip next week, &wed love to shoot a set or two, but we cant seem to get a hold of any of the photographers along our route...cross your fingers for us, &if youd like to support our cause, you know what to do!
to switch gears a little bit, ive been having some really weird anxiety lately. i was initially thinking it was PMS, but its too frequent, even on-going now. these mini-vacations helped for a bit, but now im getting the anxiety while im away from home, too. i just have this overall feeling of dread &panic, not really about any one thing in particular. i feel like there are a million things i should be doing, but i cant seem to work up the motivation i used to be able to...has anyone else had to deal with this? if you could share your exeperiences, or any words of encouragement or advice, itd be a big help! something tells me watching shitty romantic comedies on my netflix instant viewing thinger ISNT the cure...
details in here:
or if prints arent your thing for whatever reason, check out the other stuff ive got for sale on my myspace blog. there are about a hundred different things im trying to raise money for (details also found in said myspace blog), and anything helps!
ON WITH THE SHOW!
so whats keeping me so busy lately??
[spoiler]and i finally got my drivers license yesterday! 23 and i finally got it![/spoiiler]
