That one thing that you need to feel like yourself

[scottyrocks]

A regulation military haircut. Long/messy hair pisses me off, and more often than not indicates immaturity, IMHO.

-AFI

Yep, I know what you mean. If I dont buzz my head every week (Wahl with no attachment) and shave the sides every day (an inch above the top of the ear, and completely off my neck in the back), I dont feel right.

A large Costa coffee at some point during the day. I like the opportunity of being able to relax in surroundings where I know nobody. That probably sounds a bit antisocial lol

However, after a few dozen visits to any particular branch (whether Costa, Starbucks or Nero), that luxury is taken away. That's when I know it's time to move on. Too many friendly people about, that's what I say

 

[Antje]

My red lipstick and my borzoi necklace
otherwise I feel naked

 

[CherryWry]

Bangs. Every time I see a picture of myself without them I think, "who's that?"

Coffee, shower and lipstick (in that order) are necessary if I'm going to leave my yard.

 

[PistolPete1969]

Coffee....one of my fedoras.....keys....sunglasses....if I'm not going to work, my sidearm....

These are a few of my favorite things....

 

[chanteuseCarey]

1)THE TEA. The hubby and I are tea drinkers, not coffee hounds. Every day one of us HAS to start THE TEA first thing or we cannot function for the day... and there is usually TEA for the afternoon too.

2)MOM'S KEYS. And as I am always out and about doing something or other, and another and another thing(s) every day- if I cannot find MY KEYS in the house (I do usually try to set them in one specific place, so I know where they are), I get sorta freaked out- all else has to stop so we can FIND MOM'S KEYS! Heaven forbid Mom loses her KEYS...

 

[MissWink]

I need my bag (with my wallet, calender, pen, lipstick, powder, handkerchief and a million other little things) with me every day. And I need a book to read.
Besides that, I'm not too picky

 

[Story]

I'm just happy when the reflection in the mirror is my own face.

 

[Elizabeth.F]

Earrings. I hate leaving the house without anything in my ears.

 

[TheDutchess]

Make-up! I just can't function without putting "my face on". My mom always told me you never know when you're going to run into prince charming so at least have your face on; even if you're dressed like a bum.

 

[Lusti Weather]

A spritz of Angelique Encens, and some sort of lipstick or gloss on my lips.

 

[vintage68]

Old school .45 1911 right hip.

 

[chanteuseCarey]

EthanB, what's the Dame Judi Dench connection- please elucidate me...
I'm a big fan of hers, but haven't seen that many of her films-yet! btw, one of y favorites with Judi D.is the UK 2000 HBO film "The Last of the Blonde Bombshells"

QUOTE=Ethan Bentley]I agree, I do like to know the time and I'm no Judi Dench - I can't get by with just a phone clock.[/QUOTE]

 

[December]

My engagement ring.

I don't wear it to bed, so sometimes if I'm in a rush I forget to put it on in the morning. I never quite feel complete when that happens, and have to put it on the minute I get home.

 

[pretty faythe]

My sanity. Unfortunately it seems to be slipping lately lol

 

[mikepara]

I must say I agree with all the Coffee people, but the big one is my watch.

I carried a rifle around for most of my military service and if we where allowed to in this country I'd certainly carry a side arm. However I work with so many pr*cks that I'd find it so hard to resist popping a cap at some of them. So probably just aswell the law says No!

 

[Spearmint]

Flip Flops. I'm "that Caity girl, you know, the one who wore flip flops to school last week in 6 inches of snow and 5 degree weather."

Dear, try being that girl who goes to school barefoot in that weather. I only wear shoes when the dress code requires, or if I have a sore on my foot making it so I have to be in at least flips.

I cannot leave the house without some form of sweater, even if it is 95degrees. I always get cold at some point in the day, everyone swears I'm cold blooded. A cup of strong tea, a book, and a tube of lipbalm. If I forget one of those my day is pretty much ruined.

 

[Spiffy]

Caffeine. In soda, in coffee, in tea, in gum, in energy drinks and pill form.
When I camped out for a music festival this summer, the vintage disappeared, cleanliness fell by the wayside, and healthy (or even nutritious) food was abandoned for sleeping in the rain, grubby festival-wear, and powdered doughnuts.
I was however, the first person in line at the coffee stand the next morning, the person most likely to be packing at least two energy drinks during the day, and the last person grabbing a Diet Coke at night.

It's a sickness.
Other than that, red lipstick. That DID survive camping

 

[Diamondback]

That unleaded stuff? Make mine High Octane! Seriously, if I could find original Jolt instead of the low-test crap they're pushing now...

 

[Caity Lynn]

Rings, kinda my string bracelets. I can't wear them today I'm in a play and they have to stay at home...hmm....oh well, I won't be feeling like myself, I'll be feeling like Robinson Crusoe. lol
